What causes arrhythmia? How to treat

author:Physician

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in the rhythm and (or) frequency of heart beats due to the timing of heart activity, its origin and /or conduction disorders. According to the speed of the heart rhythm, it can be divided into tachya or bradyarrhythmia. According to the mechanism of arrhythmia, it can be divided into abnormal impulse formation and abnormal impulse conduction. Arrhythmias can be manifested as palpitations, chest tightness, dizziness, hypotension, fatigue, blurred vision, etc., and in severe cases, syncope, shock, etc. Clinically, we can understand the time and frequency of arrhythmias through Holter electrocardiogram.

What causes arrhythmia? How to treat

Arrhythmias are clinically common and are mainly caused by the following causes:

1. Heart attacks and potential conditions that can disrupt the ECG system can lead to arrhythmia. These potential conditions include hypertension, coronary heart disease, heart failure, hyperthyroidism or insufficiency, rheumatic heart disease, and more.

2. When the signal that controls the heartbeat encounters delay or block, arrhythmia will occur. If this happens, on the one hand, it may be that the special nerve cells that produce the heart's electrical signals are not working properly, and on the other hand, it may also be that the heart's electrical signals cannot be transmitted normally in the heart.

3. Causes of arrhythmia include stress, smoking, alcoholism, overactivity, drug use, taking certain over-the-counter drugs, caffeine or nicotine intake.

4. Bad emotions can also cause arrhythmia. One study showed that the ecG of arrhythmia caused by anger was more chaotic and unstable than the general arrhythmia, so it was fatal.

Arrhythmias refer to abnormalities in the frequency, rhythm, origin site, and conduction velocity and agonistic sequence of heart impulses, including bradyarrhythmias, tachyarrhythmias, premature beats, conduction block, and regular heart beats caused by ectopic pacemakers. So how should arrhythmias be treated? Look down!

General treatment. When the arrhythmia attacks, the patient will have low blood pressure, chest pain, sweating and dizziness, and even fainting sudden death, and the important step in the treatment of arrhythmia is to alleviate the patient's symptoms. It is important for healthcare workers to know how to relieve the symptoms of arrhythmias, such as massaging the carotid sinuses, pinching the nose hard to breathe, or holding breath to compress the eyeballs, which can effectively alleviate paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, and these treatments can be used before or at the same time as the use of drugs.

There are also many types of medications, depending on the condition, such as electrical defibrillation and cardioversion can be relieved by terminating rapid arrhythmias and ventricular fibrillation. Pacemakers can be used to treat some slow arrhythmias such as dysfunction of the sinus node and AV block. Surgical treatment is a kind of non-drug treatment, which can treat patients with atrial fibrillation and other heart diseases who must require open chest surgery, but surgical treatment has relatively high physical requirements on patients and can only be suitable for patients with better physical condition.

In addition, clinical treatment is generally used to alleviate arrhythmias, and common drugs are anti-arrhythmic drugs, such as GinsengSong Heart Capsules. Ginseng Pine Yangxin Capsules is a pure Chinese medicine preparation developed on the basis of absorbing the essence of the traditional recipe "Shengmai San" and "Calming Heart Soup", FangZhongqing Gunpowder is cleverly matched with warm medicine, Qing Gunpowder (Huanglian, Danshen, Red Peony) treats rapid arrhythmias; Warm medicines (ginseng, dogwood, mulberry parasitism) treats slow arrhythmias; Ginseng Pine Yangxin Capsules are both used to regulate, fast and slow, and good safety.

Related studies have also found that compared with Western medicine, Ginsengsong Yangxin capsules have a more clear curative effect, more importantly, when it is combined with Western medicine, it can play a better therapeutic effect, which is also a combination of Traditional Chinese and Western medicine, after all, they have different mechanisms of action, in line with the principle of combined medication, and at the same time of combined medication, Ginsengsong Yangxin Capsules do not increase the occurrence of adverse reactions, so it can be used as a recommended drug for patients with coronary heart disease, of course, mainly used for the treatment of ventricular premature beats. Because of this, it has been included in the "Clinical Application Guidelines for the Treatment of Ventricular Premature Beats in Proprietary Chinese Medicines (2020)", and whether the guidelines are the direction of our medication is a normative guide, and all friends with coronary heart disease can take it with confidence.
