Arrhythmias
Arrhythmias
Arrhythmias are irregular heart rhythms caused by disruptions in the heart's electrical system. They manifest as fast, slow, or erratic heartbeats, potentially leading to palpitations, dizziness, fainting, or chest discomfort. Types include atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, and tachycardia. Causes range from heart disease, electrolyte imbalances, to genetic factors. Diagnosis involves ECGs, holter monitors, or electrophysiology studies. Treatment options vary from medication and lifestyle changes to procedures like ablation or pacemaker implantation. Managing arrhythmias aims to restore a regular heartbeat, prevent complications, and enhance heart health.
