What are arrhythmias?
|
| The heart is a pump that functions by pushing the blood through its four chambers. The blood is “pushed” through in a controlled sequence of muscular contractions. The sequence is controlled by bundles of cells which control the electrical activity of the heart. When the sequence is disturbed, heart arrhythmias occur. Arrhythmias are abnormal rhythms of the heart. They cause the heart to pup blood less effectively. Most cardiac arrhythmias are temporary and benign. Most temporary and benign arrhythmias are those where your heart skips a beat or has an extra beat. The occasional skip or extra beat is often caused by. These occasional changes can be brought on by strong emotions or exercise. Nonetheless, some arrhythmias may be life-threatening and require treatment. |

Symptoms?
|
| Symptoms of Arrhythmia overall: Palpitations or rapid thumping in your chest, feeling tired or light-headed, loosing consciousness, shortness of breath and chest pain. Symptoms of bradycardia: feeling tired, short of breath, dizzy, or faint. Symptoms of tachycardia: heartbeat might feel like a strong pulse in your neck, or a fluttering, racing beat in your chest, feelings of discomfort, weak, shortness breath, faint, sweaty, and dizzy. |

Can arrhythmia be treated?
|
Treatment of arrhythmia depend on the type of arrhythmia, the patients age, physical condition and age. Methods are available for prevention of arrhythmia. These methods include relaxation techniques to reduce stress, limit intake of caffeine, nicotine, alcohol and stimulant drugs. Many arrhythmias require no treatment, they are naturally controlled by the body’s immune system. However if it is necessary that arrhythmias must be controlled, they can be controlled by drugs, cardio version, automatic implantable defibrillators or an artificial pacemaker. Arrhythmias that start in the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles) are more serious that those that start in the upper chambers (the atria).
Arrhythmia statistics
• During a 24-hour period about 20% of healthy adults are likely to have multiple type of premature ventricular beats.
• As many as 2 million Americans are living with arterial fibrillation, a type of arrhythmia. |
