Cervical ectopy is common in women in their teens and 20's but tends to disappear as women age.

Hormonal contraceptive use, cervical ectopy, and the acquisition of cervical infections.

The aim of therapy is to minimize ventricular ectopy, eliminate syncopal episodes, and prevent sudden cardiac death.

Some groups of women are known to have a high incidence of ectopy, including pregnant women and women on birth-control pills.

Ectopia, ectopic, or ectopy may refer to:

The dose is 5-10 mg/kg and side effects are hypertension followed by hypotension and ventricular ectopy.

It facilitates quantification of the frequency and severity of ventricular ectopy, and is important in the management of affected dogs.

Patients who test MTWA positive or indeterminate for heart rate or dense ectopy (abnormal) should be referred to an electrophysiologist for further evaluation.

It has been demonstrated that sotalol alone, or a combination of mexiletine and atenolol, results in a reduction in the frequency and complexity of ventricular ectopy.

The sexually transmitted diseases, as well as ectopy, make the vaginal and cervical tissue more fragile and increase the risk that sexual intercourse will produce tiny cuts and bleeding.

The notion that ectopy might promote the spread of AIDS may help explain the distribution of the AIDS in the United States.

Perhaps the most intriguing work has been on cervical ectopy, done by Dr. Gregory Moss, senior fellow in the Department of Infectious Diseases at the University of Washington.

Antiarrhythmic agents are typically only given to individuals with life-threatening arrhythmias after a myocardial infarction and not to suppress the ventricular ectopy that is often seen after a myocardial infarction.

Dr. Moss said a woman with cervical ectopy has only a fragile one-cell-thick outer shell covering her cervix and that this contains a high number of blood vessels, making it predisposed to bleeding.

For example, during Apollo 15, one crew member experienced ventricular bigeminy; ventricular ectopy was reported on Skylab; and on Mir, a crew member experienced a 14-beat run of ventricular tachycardia.

Because relapse or reinfection with C. trachomatis or N. gonorrhoeae usually does not occur in persons with persistent cases of MPC, other non-microbiologic determinants (e.g., inflammation in the zone of ectopy) might be involved.

Ectopic beat (or cardiac ectopy) is a disturbance of the cardiac rhythm frequently related to the electrical conduction system of the heart, in which beats arise from fiber or group of fibers outside the region in the heart muscle ordinarily responsible for impulse formation, i.e., the Sinoatrial node.
