Break down phrases into word meanings. Predominant means primary (at this moment). Rhythm is a noticeable timed or untimed sequence of events-- for example, a song has 3 short beats followed by 6 rapid beats; that is that song's rhythm.
Atrial Fibrillation (or A-Fib) is a sustained rapid "quivering" of the heart, rather than normal systole. A-Fib does not let the heart chambers, especially the ventricles, rest. A normal heart would be lub-lub, pause, lub-lub, etc. But A-fib is more like lub-lu-lub-lu-lub-lu... rapid and continuous. A-Fib is a medical emergency that needs corrected before the underlying problem causes the heart to stop.

What is ventral fibrillation?
i think you mean ventricular fibrillation (V-fib) when the ventricals beat so fast (basically quivering) it can not act properly as a pump. the cells are still active at this point so a defib shock is advised.
What does it mean when your heart rate jumps from 130 to 170?
That you are putting alot of stress on your body and using alot more O2. Its not good for you to put so much stress on your body that it spikes like that. p.s. lay off the speed.... Depends on what you are doing. Sounds like tachycardia. But 130 is very rapid to begin with for a resting pulse rate. I'm not a physician. Go see one. Could be atrial fibrillation.
What does it mean when a heart is in sinus rhythm?
Sinus rhythm is the normal rhythm of the heart. The heart is beating between 60 and 100 beats per minute. An EKG would show a certain pattern like a sine curve, the top part when the heart contracts and the bottom part contracts sending blood through the body.
What does As a man dances so the drums are beaten for him mean?
It means that the drums will follow the rhythm of the man dancing, to accentuate his dance. It can also mean that as a man follows a path, things occur along the way which helps or leads the man further along the path.
What does left atrial abnormality in ecg mean?
An electrocardiogram (ECG) records the electrical activity of the heart. It produces a trace of the heart working and the trace for an individual can be compared to that of a normal, healthy heart. A left atrial abnormality means that the ECG for the heart in question shows that there is something wrong with the electrical signal relating to the heart's left atrium.The left atrium is one of four chambers in the heart. It receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins, and pumps it into the left ventricle, via the mitral valve.You need to get the doctor to explain the CAUSE of the anomalous electrical signal.
