‍

What are heart rhythm disorders?

The clinical picture of heart rhythm disturbances refers to an abnormality of the organ in which it either too fast, too slow, or irregularly hits (for example, three quick strokes followed by one punch “pause.” Also known as heart stumbling).

‍

Velocity abnormalities are divided into tachycards (too high frequency) and bradycards (too low frequency). The clinical picture also distinguishes between two possible origins of the abnormalities. For example, there are supraventricular disorders that start in a structure above the heart chambers and ventricular disorders that develop in the heart chamber.

‍

When do you start having heart rhythm disturbances?

Cardiac arrhythmias are always diagnosed with an ECG. One bradycardia occurs as soon as the organ beats less than sixty times per minute. This form of anomaly is found in the following subgenera shared:

• sinus bradycardia (frequency regular but too slow)
• bradycardial atrial fibrillation (irregular atrial contraction)
• Disturbance of the electrical conduction of the heart (this affects the sinus node, i.e. the “clock” of the organ, whose impulse is not correctly transmitted to the heart chambers and muscles)

‍

One tachycardia is again diagnosed at a frequency of one hundred beats per minute and is further divided into the following subgenera:

• sinus tachycardia
• extrasystoles (occasional additional beats in an otherwise regular but rapid rhythm)
• Seizure-like tachycardia (sudden, usually lasting only a few minutes)
• ventricular fibrillation and flutter (irregular contractions of the heart chambers)

‍

What are the causes of heart rhythm disorders?

The triggers of heart rhythm disturbances are manifold, as the disease both from the heart, as well as from a different structure can go out. To the possible triggers per Starting from the heart Cardiac arrhythmias include:

• Coronary artery atherosclerosis
• heart failure
• heart muscle inflammation
• Congenital heart defects

‍

Possible triggers for rhythm disturbances caused by run out of another structure, are:

• Electrolyte balance disorders
• Psychological factors
• Thyroid dysfunction
• poisoning (alcohol, drugs, but also medicines)
• lung diseases
• electric shocks
• Vascular disorders

‍

What are the possible symptoms of heart rhythm disturbances?

Cardiac arrhythmias progress usually asymptomatic. Zu possible side effects and sequelae But count:

• A feeling of “heart flutter” or “racing”
• shortness of breath
• Dizziness and “black vision” up to loss of consciousness
• Tightness and stinging in the chest
• memory disorders
• stroke

• Chest X-ray
• Electrophysiological tests (interventional ECG via cardiac catheter)

‍

About the ones offered by avi therapeutic measures Count in turn:

• Medicinal adjustment of electrolyte balance and thyroid hormones
• Medicinal therapy using special preparations for heart rhythm disorders (so-called antiarrhythmic drugs)

‍

additional therapeutic measures, which are carried out in hospital and by a specialist are:

• surgical methods (such as obliteration of additional pathways or implantation of a pacemaker)
