Heart Rhythm Disorder & Pacemaker Treatment
Heart rhythm disorders, also known as arrhythmias, can cause symptoms such as irregular heartbeat, palpitations, dizziness, fainting, breathlessness, or unusual tiredness. Early evaluation can help identify the cause and determine the right treatment.
Diagnosis of Heart Rhythm Problems
Assessment may include a detailed medical history, physical examination, ECG (electrocardiogram), Holter monitoring, echocardiography, blood tests, or other cardiac investigations based on individual needs. These tests help doctors understand the heart’s rhythm and identify conditions such as slow heartbeat, fast heartbeat, or irregular rhythms.
Pacemaker Treatment
For certain patients with significant slow heart rhythms or conduction problems, a pacemaker may be recommended. A pacemaker is a small device that helps regulate the heart rate by delivering electrical impulses when the heart beats too slowly.
Treatment & Follow-Up
Treatment depends on the type and severity of the rhythm disorder. Depending on the diagnosis, management may include medicines, lifestyle guidance, monitoring, pacemaker implantation, or other specialist procedures. Regular follow-up is important to monitor heart rhythm and, when applicable, pacemaker function.
