What's the difference between recursion and reentrant?

Recursion


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of recurring; return.

  • (20) Both logistic regression and recursive partitioning methods for discrimination were tried.

Reentrant


Definition:

  • (a.) Reentering; pointing or directed inwardds; as, a re/ntrant angle.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) During electrophysiologic study, the effect of propafenone on the effective refractory period of the accessory pathway was determined, as well as its effect during orthodromic atrioventricular (AV) reentrant tachycardia and atrial fibrillation.

  • (5) Intravenous flecainide was successful in terminating ongoing tachycardias in 81% of reported cases of atrioventricular (AV) nodal reentrant tachycardias, 88% of AV reentrant tachycardias and 100% of atrial tachycardias.

  • (10) The time dependence of nonuniform propagation and the relatively high conduction velocities explain two major characteristics of reentrant tachycardias in acute ischemia: the large diameters of reentrant circuits and the beat-to-beat changes in localization of conduction block.
  • (11) The ablated pathway was the His bundle in 8 patients, an accessory pathway in 3 patients and a ventricular reentrant circuit in 1 patient.
  • (12) All 20 patients (100%) with AV node reentrant tachycardia treated with diltiazem had conversion of tachycardia to sinus rhythm as did 26 (81%) of 30 patients with AV reciprocating tachycardia treated with diltiazem.
  • (13) The electrophysiological effects of antiarrhythmic drugs were tested in 36 patients with recurrent paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), 25 of whom had accessory pathway reentrant tachycardia (APRT) and 11 A-V nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT; 10 of the slow-fast type one of the fast-slow type).

  • (20) However, the right ventricular apex electrogram demonstrated a constant morphology with a decrease in cycle length equal to that of the other intracardiac electrograms, indicating a constant direction of activation from the ventricular tachycardia circuit, and that ventricular tachycardia had been transiently entrained by AV nodal reentrant tachycardia.
