Arrhythmia, feeling that the heart is beating in some way incorrectly and unusually, surgical treatment of complex heart rhythm disorders and NI ac. EN Meshalkina, candidate of medical sciences Vitaly Shabanov.
“Situations in which the patient begins to hear and feel himself, if failures occur, this may indicate an arrhythmia. For example, there is a feeling that your heart has suddenly “rushed” or there is some pause in contraction. In this case, you need to see a cardiologist, ”Shabanov explained.
According to the arrhythmia specialist, there are also asymptomatic arrhythmias. Patients at the initial stage of the disease may not feel rhythm disturbances at all, including dangerous ones that can become life-threatening in the future.
“Therefore, in order to detect the arrhythmia in a timely manner, you must undergo an annual medical examination, which necessarily includes an electrocardiogram recording. EKG can identify the type of arrhythmia. In some cases, Holter monitoring (ECG over a day) will be required. It is very rare to find out all the nuances of the issue of arrhythmia and the causes of its occurrence, an electrophysiological study in an operating room will be needed. Then we can already see the focus of this complex arrhythmia, map it out, and cauterize it right away,” Shabanov said.
