Cardiovascular Diseases: Arrhythmia www.drameetoswal.com
Introduction Arrhythmia, a common cardiovascular disorder, disrupts the normal rhythm of the heart, potentially leading to irregular heartbeats and complications
Types of arrhythmias The most common type, characterized by irregular and rapid heartbeat in the upper chambers (atria) of the heart. Atrial Fibrillation Ventricular Tachycardia A fast heart rhythm originating in the lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart, potentially leading to fainting or cardiac arrest Supraventricular Tachycardia Rapid heart rate originating above the ventricles, often resulting in a sudden onset of palpitations Bradycardia A slow heart rhythm, usually defined as a heart rate below 60 beats per minute, which can lead to dizziness, fatigue, or fainting Premature Ventricular Contractions Extra, abnormal heartbeats that occur in the ventricles and may be felt as palpitations. Atrial Flutter Rapid but regular heartbeat originating from the atria, often characterized by a distinctive sawtooth pattern on an electrocardiogram (ECG). Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome A congenital condition where an extra electrical pathway in the heart leads to rapid heart rates or arrhythmias
Symptoms of the disease Dizziness or lightheadedness: Chest pain or discomfort: Arrhythmias can cause a drop in blood pressure, leading to dizziness or lightheadedness. Fainting or near-fainting episodes can also Some people with arrhythmias may experience chest pain, pressure, or discomfort. It can range from mild to severe and may come and go Fatigue or weakness Shortness of breath The irregular heart rhythms associated with arrhythmias can affect the heart's ability to pump blood efficiently, leading to fatigue or weakness Arrhythmias can lead to difficulty breathing or a feeling of breathlessness, especially during physical activity or exertion
Conclusion In conclusion, arrhythmias can present with a variety of symptoms that can vary in intensity and duration. Common symptoms include palpitations, tachycardia, bradycardia, irregular heartbeat, chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, dizziness or lightheadedness, fatigue or weakness, and sweating. However, it's important to note that not all arrhythmias cause noticeable symptoms, and some may only be detected through medical tests. If you have concerns about arrhythmias or are experiencing any symptoms related to your heart rhythm, it is recommended to seek medical attention for proper evaluation and treatment.
Thanks! Remember, early detection and proper treatment are crucial for managing arrhythmias and maintaining a healthy heart. Stay informed and prioritize your heart health. Do you have any questions? info@drameetoswal.com +91 83103 67685 www.drameetoswal.com
