Arrhythmia: symptoms and treatment

 Arrhythmia: symptoms and treatment

Arrhythmias are a condition of arrhythmias—perhaps the heart beats too quickly or too slowly. This condition is caused by changes in the electrical system of the heart or a heart short circuit. This leads to the inability of the heart to pump blood efficiently, resulting in poor blood circulation in the body. This can increase the risk of heart failure and stroke.

Types of arrhythmias

Arrhythmias are classified into two types:

• very fast heartbeat (the heart beats very fast)
• slow heart rate (the heart beats slowly)

Causes of arrhythmia

The causes of arrhythmia vary in each patient. Whether the heart rhythm becomes faster or slower depends on an individual's lifestyle, health history, and environment. Common causes of arrhythmias include:

• birth defects or heart defects, such as congenital heart disease, heart valve disease, inflation (heart swelling), and heart cortex deficiency disease (coronary artery disease).
• Physical diseases that affect the heart's ability to function well, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, thyroid poisoning, and salt imbalances in the body
• Some drugs and substances (such as drugs containing famine stimulants) and caffeine in tea, coffee, or soft drinks
• Stress and anxiety.

Symptoms of arrhythmia

Most patients with arrhythmias do not know that they have this problem. Heart arrhythmias are often detected during a thorough medical examination or treatment of other diseases. Sometimes, patients have a family history of sudden cardiac arrest. However, some patients complain of the following symptoms:

• Dizziness • The Palace of the Self
• Chest pain; loss of consciousness
• feeling light-headed (spin) • fainting and collapsing
• Flapping

diagnosis of arrhythmias

Patients' information is collected, including caffeine consumption (such as tea, coffee, or soft drinks) and underlying diseases (such as coronary thrombosis, hypertension, diabetes, and thyroid disease).

An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is done when symptoms are observed in the hospital, or the following can be done at home:

• If the patient has symptoms frequently but not consistently, use a Watchtower (a test for heart rate and rhythm).
• The event recorder is only used when you have symptoms. If you have dizziness or palpitations, you can wear the device on your wrist with an activated Oak Call device and press your chest.
• A heartbeat monitor may be a nerve on the wrist, something attached to the finger, a plate on the chest, or surgically placed under the skin. This device records several minutes at a time and then starts again. The patient will press a button during or after the event to save the registration, as fainting and collapsing rarely occur.
• Stress Test (EST)
• Eco-rays on the heart
• Study of the electrical functions of the heart

Treatment options for arrhythmias

The physician will choose treatment based on the causes, symptoms, location, and severity of the disease. Some types of arrhythmia may not require treatment. However, medical treatment is needed for certain types of arrhythmia as follows:

• Heart rate control drugs: Although the drugs do not cure the problem, they can reduce heart rhythm attacks and the severity of symptoms. Some heart rhythm disorders respond well to treatment.
• Pacemaker: A small device called a pacemaker is placed under the skin near the collarbone to maintain the heart rate on the regular image, with a wire extending from the device to the heart. A defibrillator helps regulate and improve heart functions and related functions.
• Heart rhythm calendar: The heart rhythm calendar is used to slow the acceleration of the heart rhythm. This is done externally at a court hearing. A small electric shock is given to the chest wall, which regulates the heart rate and restores the heart to its normal rhythm.
• Ablation therapy: This method is used to eliminate the source of arrhythmias, thereby treating irregular heartbeats permanently. Eradication therapy is usually combined with the study of electrical functions. Threads are inserted through a catheter into the heart area, which is believed to be the source of arrhythmias. High-frequency electrical energy is then given to remove the small area of tissue inside the heart that causes an abnormal rhythm of the heart.
• Pacemaker and defibrillator transplantation: This is a similar procedure to pacemaker transplantation. This device is used if the patient is at risk of a severely irregular heartbeat in the heart's lower half (ventricular fibrillation). If the device detects a very slow rhythm, it will stimulate the heartbeat. In contrast, when the heart beats very quickly, it will give a series of small electrical impulses to the heart muscle to slow them down and restore a normal heart rate.

Preventing arrhythmias

There is no guaranteed way to prevent arrhythmias, but you can reduce risk in the following ways:

• Do not smoke, reduce stress, moderately drink coffee and alcohol, or do not drink at allFollow a healthy diet and exercise regularly.
• See your doctor on a regular basis for thorough medical examinations.
