What's the difference between arhythmic and rhythm?
Arhythmic
Definition:
(a.) Alt. of Arhythmous
Example Sentences:

(3) Free-running rhythms were not measurable for most weasels due to arhythmicity or lack of data.
(4) Arhythmical stimulation does not produce such a result.
(5) On hospitalization, brusque, variable and arhythmic muscular jerks were visible on the face and left arm and leg.
(6) The auricle arhythmic illness (exhibition of 16 cases with diagnostic, prophilactic and therapeutic considerations).
(7) We tried to evaluate the efficacy of sotalol, a betablocker with anti-arhythmic properties, like amiodarone, on the supraventricular and ventricular rhythm disorders of this disease.
Rhythm
Definition:
(n.) In the widest sense, a dividing into short portions by a regular succession of motions, impulses, sounds, accents, etc., producing an agreeable effect, as in music poetry, the dance, or the like.
(n.) Movement in musical time, with periodical recurrence of accent; the measured beat or pulse which marks the character and expression of the music; symmetry of movement and accent.
(n.) A division of lines into short portions by a regular succession of arses and theses, or percussions and remissions of voice on words or syllables.
(n.) The harmonious flow of vocal sounds.
Example Sentences:
(1) Thirty-two patients (10 male, 22 female; age 37-82 years) undergoing maintenance haemodialysis or haemofiltration were studied by means of Holter device capable of simultaneously analysing rhythm and ST-changes in three leads.
(2) Similar to intact crayfish, animals with an isolated protocerebrum-eyestalk complex, exhibit competent circadian rhythms in the electroretinogram (ERG).
(3) Hypercalcitoninemia was the most pronounced in patients with cardiac rhythm disorders and a simultaneous reduction in total serum calcium.
(4) Electromechanic dissociation, sinus bradycardia, nodal rhythm followed by idioventricular rhythm and asystole, were observed following myocardial rupture.
(5) This quantitative characterization of the properties of conduction and refractoriness of both the accessory pathway and ventriculoatrial conduction system and the relation between these characteristics and the accessory pathway location in ART patients provides additional insight into the prerequisites for the initiation and maintenance of this rhythm disturbance.
(6) The recorded APs were further subdivided into those exhibiting consistent antegrade conduction during sinus rhythm (overt APs: 50 left APs, eight right APs), those exhibiting intermittent antegrade conduction (intermittent APs: six left APs, two right APs), and those exhibiting only retrograde conduction (concealed APs: 33 left APs, two right APs).
(7) The interobserver variability of these indices is low (r greater than 0.96); reproducibility is good in patients with sinus rhythm but mediocre in atrial fibrillation.
(8) Mus norvegicus albicus, by interrupting a free-running rhythm with light signals of short duration.

(10) Moreover, complete absence of rhythm disturbances right up to the beginning of cardiac arrest was as frequent in the patient groups as in the control series (around 20%).
(11) If VF persisted or if countershock resulted in asystole or a nonperfusing rhythm (electrical-mechanical dissociation [EMD]), the alternate drug (naloxone or epinephrine) was then given.
(12) In 33 patients with heart failure (NYHA II-III), the 24-h blood pressure rhythm was examined before and after the titration period of two ACE inhibitors.
(13) Depending on the preestablished rules, the model gave rise to various rhythm patterns that were similar to those recorded in patients with sinoatrial arrhythmias.
(14) These observations indicated a novel mechanism that in the absence of light-dark schedule, mothers taught the circadian rhythm to the pups as they raised them.
(15) In considering nutrition and circadian rhythms, time-of-eating behavior is an inherited, genetically controlled pattern that can be phase-shifted by conditioning or training.
(16) In 6 patients electrograms were recorded after sinus rhythm was reestablished, and all showed marked decreases or disappearance of fragmentation.
(17) It was observed that the circadian rhythm was disrupted by injections of lithium at the beginning of the light as well as the dark phase of the LD cycle.
(18) To evaluate interatrial septal motion throughout the cardiac cycle, echocardiograms of the septum were obtained by esophageal echocardiography simultaneously with left and right atrial pressures using Millar's micromanometers in nine subjects with sinus rhythm.
(19) The circadian rhythm of PS disappeared while that of SWS persisted unchanged.
(20) Time-qualified data series were analysed by means of chronobiological procedures in order to validate the circadian rhythm and to correlate the sinusoidal profiles.
