Arrhythmia Treatment

ARRHYTHMIA SURGERY INDIA – TYPES OF ARRHYTHMIA SURGERY & COST IN INDIAArrhythmia In IndiaArrhythmias are abnormal rhythms of the heart. The heart rate can become abnormally rapid, slow and/or irregular. A normal heart rate is 50 to 100 beats per minute. Arrhythmias and abnormal heart rates don't necessarily occur together. Arrhythmias can occur with a normal heart rate, or with heart rates that are slow (called bradyarrhythmias -- less than 60 beats per minute). Arrhythmias can also occur with rapid heart rates (called tachyarrhythmias -- faster than 100 beats per minute).

Types of ArrhythmiaThere are a number of different types of arrhythmia including those listed below :-Atrial fibrillation (AF) :- This is a common cause of arrhythmia. It occurs when the muscle fibres in the atria don't contract together; instead they flicker, while the ventricles contract irregularly. This irregular movement causes turbulent blood flow in the heart.Atrial tachycardia (AT) :- Also known as supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), this occurs when an area in the atrium other than the sinoatrial node (the heart's own pacemaker) also produces electrical impulses. This overrides the normal pacemaker with regular impulses in rapid succession, causing the heart to beat at between 140 and 240 beats per minute.

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) :- Also known as broad complex tachycardia, this is when the ventricles contract rapidly but the rate in the atria remains normal. This can be caused by an increased electrical activity of the electrical impulses to the ventriclesVentricular fibrillation (VF) : - This is when the whole heart stops beating properly and just flutters. It may follow on from ventricular tachycardia. Blood is not circulated to the brain and the rest of the body and the person usually suddenly collapses and does not have a detectable heartbeat.Heart block :- Heart block causes an abnormally slow beat. This happens if the impulses generated by the heart's normal pacemaker don't reach the ventricles properly. It may happen after a heart attack if the heart muscle is damaged, or if you have an injury or a disease of part of the heart's conducting system.

Treatment for Arrhythmias:- Drug treatmentsCardioversion Pacemaker implant Catheter ablation therapy Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD)
