Cardiac arrhythmia

Cardiac arrhythmia's disease overview

Heart has a rhythmic and transmission system including: sinus button, atrial node, his bundle and Purkinje network. This system ensures a continuous and regular heartbeat, and responds to changes according to body needs. Initially, the sinus button will generate impulses, the impulses are passed through the atrium and then down the atrial button and then the HIS bundle and the Purkinje network as a reduction of myocardial cells, creating an electrical activity and contracting myocardial.

Is the arrhythmia dangerous?

heart arrhythmia is not the term only one type of disease, it includes many disorders in which there is abnormalities in rhythm, transmission, manifestation that we do not see The rhythm is like normal. Many arrhythmias are very dangerous, can cause sudden death. Can divide the arrhythmia into types:

  • Pulse disorders:
  • Sinus dysfunction: Sinus button failure, sinus tachycardia ...

    • ventricular arrhythmia: external ventricular ventricular, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular vibration, torsion ...

  • Atrial arrhythmia: Magnetic Atrial, Turkish, Atrial Fibrous, Atrial ...
  • Disadvantages of transmission: Atrial atrial block level 1, level 2, high school

    • Causes of Cardiac arrhythmia's disease

  • Due to cardiovascular diseases: coronary disease, myocardial disease, valve disease, congenital heart disease, congenital transmission abnormalities (Kent Bridge)

    • Due to electrolytes: Increase/lower potassium, calcium ...

  • Thyroidges, adrenal glands

    • Respiratory failure, bacterial shock, ...

  • Due to drugs: Quinolone group, anti -arrhythmic drug (amiodarone ..)

    • Symptoms of Cardiac arrhythmia's disease

    Signs of arrhythmia may include:

  • Fatigue, fainting: Sinus impairment syndrome, atrioventricular block ..
  • Nervous, chest drum: tachycardia, sinus tachycardia, atrial fibrillation ..
  • Sensation of rhythm:

    • Suddenly: ventricular vibration, tachycardia, peak twist, Brugada syndrome

    People at risk for Cardiac arrhythmia's disease

    People with many cardiovascular risk factors in general are more likely to suffer from higher arrhythmia:

  • Hypertension

    • Diabetes

    Old age

    Blood lipid disorders

  • Atherosclerosis: Coronary artery disease

    • Prevention of Cardiac arrhythmia's disease

  • Control blood pressure: Healthy diet, lots of green vegetables, reduced salt in combination with regular exercise
  • Take medicine daily

    • Blood sugar control according to the goal

  • Treatment of blood lipid disorders

    • Diagnostic measures for Cardiac arrhythmia's disease

  • Electrolyte: is a required tool to diagnose a arrhythmia. Based on the fast or slow heart frequency, uneven or uneven, wide or narrow QRS complex, whether or not sinus waves are analyzed and concluded what is a rhythmic disorder
  • Record the transition via the esophagus: Today is no longer commonly used because it takes a lot of time, not suitable in emergency cases. The purpose is to bring an electrode through the esophagus to record the electrical activity of the atria, in cases of unknown waves p
  • Holter electrocardiograms: Continuous electrocardiogram 24h. Often used when suspected arrhythmia that electrocardiogram at a time cannot record the attack. The device will analyze and repeat the heart rate abnormalities within 24 hours, the doctor will check those abnormalities.
  • Physiological exploration: This is a high -tech, modern method. The exploration electrode will be put into the heart chamber and record electrical activity. The doctor may stimulate myocardial areas to cause attacks. Some rare arrhythmia abnormalities occur, the electrocardiogram holter is not recorded, can use this method to diagnose and then conduct intervention. For example: diagnosis of tachycardia, brugada syndrome ...

    Cardiac arrhythmia's disease treatments

    Can the arrhythmia can be cured?

    Most of the arrhythmia can be treated with many measures. However, there are a few arrhythmia that is difficult to control despite using many methods.

  • Treatment of arrhythmia may take the following measures depending on each disorder
  • Do not use drugs: Vasalva test, eyeball, sinus sinus rubbing. Often used to cut tachycardia
  • Physiological and sterilization of arrhythmia: external ventricular ventricular, tachycardia, W.P.W syndrome, ..
  • Use support tools: temporary pacemaker, permanent pacemaker, automatic vibrating machine

    • Paccination shock

  • Hurry and emergency treatment of tachycardia: If there is a hemodynamic disorder, need an electrical shock to switch. If there is no hemodynamic disorders can use solutions to cut attacks, use drugs, electric shocks are prepared.

    • Emergency treatment of bradycardia: If there is a hemodynamic disorder, it is necessary to use medication to increase heart rate such as atropine, adrenalin, dopamine according to the instructions and temporary pacemaker placing. If there are symptoms without hemodynamic disorders, it can be considered temporary pacemaker, planning permanent pacemaker.
