Arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) care
-
Treatment for arrhythmia begins with identifying the type and cause through tests like ECG, Holter monitoring, or electrophysiological studies to determine the best management approach.
-
Medications such as beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, or antiarrhythmic drugs may be prescribed to control heart rate, correct rhythm, or prevent episodes of irregular heartbeat.
-
In some cases, procedures like cardioversion (electrical shock to reset rhythm) or catheter ablation (destroying the faulty heart tissue causing irregular signals) are performed to restore a normal heartbeat.
-
For patients at risk of life-threatening arrhythmias, implantable devices like pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) may be recommended to regulate or correct heart rhythm automatically.
-
Lifestyle adjustments including avoiding excessive caffeine, alcohol, and stress, as well as managing conditions like high blood pressure or thyroid disorders, help reduce arrhythmia triggers.
-
Ongoing monitoring through regular check-ups, device checks (if implanted), and symptom tracking is essential to ensure the arrhythmia is under control and the heart remains healthy.
