2024年3月8日 · Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm. An irregular heart rhythm is called an arrhythmia. AFib can lead to blood clots in the heart. The condition also increases the risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications.

A fid is a conical tool traditionally made of wood or bone. It is used to work with rope and canvas in marlinespike seamanship . A fid differs from a marlinspike in material and purposes.

2023年3月27日 · Learn about diagnosis and treatment goals of AFib, which includes and EKG, holter monitor and other tests.

2020年8月20日 · A nautical fid is a tool that's typically conical in shape with a taper point on one end. It's used when knotting or splicing rope. Traditionally, Fids were carved out of wood and bone.

2016年4月12日 · A Swedish fid can be used in either of two ways when splicing, as shown in the photos (left). Usually, you open the lay with it, push the strand into the hollow and then push the fid until the strand comes through.

The length of the splicing tool, called a “fid,” may or may not have a 1:1 correlation with the fid length for a given rope diameter. The “fid length” for a rope is calculated as 21 times the rope diameter.

2006年6月18日 · Developed by Brian Toss, this is one fid that can splice double braid line from 3/8-inch to 3/4-inch (there is another Toss Wand for smaller line). The fid can also be used for three-strand splices, but the stainless tube is of light gauge, and you would not want to use it to lever open the strands on old, stiff line.

2015年11月20日 · The basic idea behind a fid is similar to that of a needle—to enable the individual to weave something that they are otherwise unable to weave with their hands—but with rope or cord rather than thread. This ability is particularly important when working with Paracord because of how fine the cord is and how tight the weaves generally are.

2020年6月14日 · Rope working fids make it easier to splice ropes, but they can be expensive to buy for a small DIY project. Here are some ideas of how to make your own fids and the required dimensions of each fid size. If you want to splice ropes then a common tool is the “Selma” fid. Essentially, it is a metal tube with a blunt point at one end.

Fids come in three sizes: type I, type II, and type III. This follows the original military paracord types. Type III paracord is standard 550, type I is around the size of 95 cord, and type II covers some of the hazy ground in between. A type I fid is designed to fit type I paracord, also known as 95 cord. It can also easily fit micro cord.
