PROBLEM: Doctors usually follow up a new diagnosis of atrial fibrillation with additional tests to look for an underlying cause or trigger. These tests may include blood tests, an echocardiogram (an ultrasound of the heart), and/or a chest X-ray. Dr. Leslie Kernisan is the author of a popular blog and podcast at BetterHealthWhileAging.net. She is also a clinical instructor in the University of California, San Francisco, Division of Geriatrics. Atrial fibrillation, also sometimes called A-fib, is usually diagnosed with an electrocardiogram (ECG). An ECG is a noninvasive diagnostic procedure that uses electrodes taped to the skin on the chest to measure the electrical activity within the heart. This information creates a tracing, which can be printed on paper or viewed on a monitor. Occasionally atrial fibrillation is noticed incidentally on an ECG or other heart test. More commonly, doctors order an ECG because a person is having symptoms that could be caused by atrial fibrillation, such as palpitations, a racing heartbeat, dizziness, or shortness of breath. Transtelephonic monitor: When you develop symptoms of atrial fibrillation, a strip of your current heart rhythm can be transmitted to your doctor's office over the telephone, using a monitor with two bracelets or by placing the monitor against your chest wall. How is atrial fibrillation diagnosed? The most commonly used tests to diagnose atrial fibrillation include: Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG): The ECG draws a picture on graph paper of the electrical impulses traveling through the heart muscle. An EKG provides an electrical "snapshot" of the heart. For people who have symptoms that come and go, a special monitor may need to be used to capture the arrhythmia. Holter monitor: A small external recorder is worn over a short period of time, usually one to three days. Diagnosing AFib: EKG Your doctor will diagnose atrial fibrillation on an electrocardiogram (EKG). This heart tracing shows a distinct pattern in the electricity of the heart that your doctor can diagnose. If your AFib comes and goes you may need to wear a continuous heart monitor (Holter monitor) to diagnose the abnormal rhythm. Some of the tests used for making an atrial fibrillation diagnosis include: 1 Electrocardiogram (EKG) 2 Holter monitor. 3 Event monitor. 4 Echocardiogram. 5 Blood tests, including thyroid tests. 6 Electrophysiology study (EPS). Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most common type of abnormal heart rhythm. Atrial fibrillation or AF can lead to serious heart complications like stroke. Learn about diagnosing and treating AFib. Atrial fibrillation is a risk factor for stroke. About 15 percent of all people who have strokes have AFib. Because of the irregular and chaotic flow of blood through the heart, small blood clots can form in the heart chambers when you have atrial fibrillation. These clots can travel through the bloodstream to the brain, causing a stroke. As part of the medical history, the healthcare provider will ask a number of questions, including questions about: 1 Current symptoms. 2 Medical conditions. 3 Current medications. 4 Family history of medical conditions. 5 Social history, including alcohol use and smoking. Query: how is afib diagnosed ekg

SOLUTION: Your doctor will diagnose atrial fibrillation on an electrocardiogram (EKG). This heart tracing shows a distinct pattern in the electricity of the heart that your doctor can diagnose.

PROBLEM: How to Grow Grape Vines. Two Parts: Preparing for Planting Planting Your Grapevines Community Q&A. Grapes are certainly a multi-purpose fruit, being used for wine, baked goods, jams, and for eating fresh off the vine. With their ability to grow in many places around the world, they are a great addition to any garden. But for the most part, every wine harvest includes these basic vine-to-wine steps: 1 Pick the grapes. 2 Crush the grapes. 3 Ferment the grapes into wine. 4 Age the wine. 5 Bottle the wine. Pruning is one of the most important factors in grape production. Grapes develop only on new growth, which sprouts from 1-year-old wood. This is one reason why most vines don't produce grapes in their second year -- the whole plant is only 1 year old, so its main job is support instead of grapes. A: It normally takes between two to three weeks for grapes to fully ferment into wine after being crushed. The fermentation occurs in two stages, primary and secondary fermentation. In general, primary fermentation usually lasts about three to seven days. will prepare the site before you plant. Choosing a site The first step toward consistent production of high-quality grapes is to choose a sunny place to plant. While some ornamental grapevine species perform adequately in partial shade, full sunlight is required to get good production of table grapes. After they're frozen solid, pack grapes into freezer bags or containers. To remove air from bags, use a vacuum sealer or the straw method. Stick a straw into an edge of the bag opening, seal the bag right up to the straw, and suck the remaining air out of the bag. Seal the bag as you quickly withdraw the straw. To keep things simple, this stage mainly includes: 1 red and white wines: yeast is added to the vats so that fermentation can take place. 2 red wines: carbon dioxide is released during fermentation which causes the grape skins to rise to the surface. 3 red wines: the grapes are pressed after fermentation is complete. In late years, grapes. are often picked in late October. Consider the variance in harvest time for Morningside. Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon for the last four years: Oct 4, Oct 11, Sept 30 and Sept 13. Grapes can be stored for up to six weeks in the cellar, but grapes can absorb the odors of other fruits and vegetables, so keep them separate. Use cardboard boxes or crates lined with clean, dry straw. Another kid-friendly idea is to thread red, green, and purple grapes before freezing to make a frozen treat on a string. You can also use frozen grapes to replace fresh grapes in recipes, including jam. You can puree grapes before freezing, and freeze the puree in ice cube trays. Pack the grape cubes in freezer bags. These cubes make a great addition for chilling drinks like juices, teas, or lemonade without watering them down. For best quality, eat frozen grapeschunks or pureewithin nine to 12 months. Query: how long until grapes

SOLUTION: Grapes can be stored for up to six weeks in the cellar.

PROBLEM: How long does a judgment stay on your credit report and does the time limit start from the day it is filed or from the day it's paid off? A judgment will remain on a credit report for the full 10 years. The judgment clock will run for a lot longer than the credit-reporting clock. Here's what I mean: In general, judgments remain enforceable for 10 years (in some states, such as my creditor-friendly state of Rhode Island, it's 20 years) from the date entered or filed with the courts. Mostly, consumers who ask this question are concerned about how negative information like bankruptcies, judgments, and late payments affects their credit history and score.

So, 7 years from the date of entry, or longer, if your state has legislation which allows it report longer.

This time period applies to each legal action. Under certain circumstances and certain state's laws, judgments can be renewed. Query: how long does judgment stay on credit report

SOLUTION:
The judgment stays for 7 years on credit report.
