The need for treatment of arrhythmias and missed heartbeats

A healthy heart pulsates at a constant rate of 60-90 beats per minute at regular intervals. Heart contractions without deviations are a prerequisite for the normal functioning of all organs. Unfortunately, there are often diseases associated with interruptions in the work of the main organ.

Arrhythmia and its varieties

When the formation or conduction of an excitation wave changes, the frequency of heart beats is disturbed. There are interruptions in the work of the heart at rest or under various kinds of loads.

• sinus (the heart constantly beats unevenly);
• tachycardia (the frequency of strokes is too high);
• flickering arrhythmia (feel infrequent tremors in the chest, discomfort);
• bradycardia (beat frequency below normal);
• extrasystole (with a normal rhythm, extra contractions are added);
• blockade (cessation of the conduction of an electrical impulse through the heart).

Rhythm disturbances can be intermittent, occur without tangible signs. For this reason, a sudden deterioration in health or death may occur.

If the arrhythmia is not associated with a pathology of the heart, it is successfully treated. Chronic pathologies of the heart muscle require constant therapeutic treatment.

1. Sinus arrhythmia is more common in children and adolescents. It is harmless and does not require treatment.
2. With tachycardia, the number of heartbeats reaches 90 or more per minute. Occurs with high loads and regular stress. Sometimes because of a cold.
3. Flickering is dangerous because it is almost invisible. The heartbeat does not match the beats of the pulse. Characterized by shortness of breath. More often overtakes people with thyroid diseases, patients with alcoholism.
4. Bradycardia is characterized by a drop in the frequency of beats to fifty-five per minute. Occurs as a result of thyroid disease.
5. Extrasystole is a violation (both towards decrease and increase) of the rhythm of contraction of the heart muscle or any part of it. In this case, the nervous system is too excited. The patient feels a strong blow in the chest and a sharp fading of the heartbeat. Then the rhythm is restored. Often a person comes into a panic, is afraid of dying. Often this happens with vegetovascular dystonia.
6. Blockade is the most dangerous pathology. The heart stops beating for a few moments, the pulse disappears. Often people lose consciousness during the blockade. In the case of a sinking heart for a long time, death occurs.

In no case can not ignore changes in the work of the heart. At the first signs of the disease, it is necessary to consult a doctor: a cardiologist, a therapist, an arrhythmologist.

Causes and symptoms of the disease

• Osteochondrosis.
• Vegetovascular dystonia.

• Violation of the diet.
• Digestive system disorders.
• Drinking alcohol, smoking.
• Nervous tension, regular stress.
• Thyroid pathologies.
• Oncological diseases.
• Viral infections.
• Atherosclerosis.

This is not the whole list of deviations that provoke interruptions in the work of the heart. Symptoms follow from the causes, by which one can judge the presence of arrhythmia.

• shortness of breath (difficulty, rapid breathing);
• lethargy and general weakness of the body;
• dizziness;
• various kinds of pains in the heart (“burning out”, “aching”, “cutting”, “squeezing”).

Normally, a person inhales and exhales sixteen to eighteen times. If more often, there is an incompleteness of breaths, a lack of oxygen. Sometimes there is pain in the chest, extending to other parts of the body.

Prevention and treatment

Before determining a number of necessary measures for treatment, a comprehensive examination is carried out: an electrocardiogram is taken, Holter monitoring, exercise tests, ultrasound, a general blood and urine test, an analysis for electrolytes, an x-ray. There are also consultations with medical specialists.

If organic changes are not detected, it is enough to apply preventive measures:

• do not overwork;
• fully rest;
• take at least eight hours of sleep at night, fall asleep no later than twenty-two hours;
• do breathing exercises;
• carry out physiotherapy;
• walk outdoors more often.

Sometimes such measures are enough to normalize the heart rhythm. Alcohol provokes heart attacks. Studies have shown that excessive drinking of alcoholic beverages causes atrial fibrillation. In severe cases, death is possible.

If an organic disease is detected, the doctor prescribes treatment depending on the identified causes and severity.

1. Non-drug (adjustment by the doctor of the patient's diet, the amount of physical activity).
2. Conservative (drug) treatment.
3. Surgical intervention.

Often, treatment is ineffective due to the fact that the body of a pregnant woman does not absorb the active components of the drug. Most often, there is no need for treatment with drugs and the work of the heart returns to normal after childbirth. But the observation of specialists in this period is the main condition for the birth of a healthy baby.
