Arrhythmia
The symptoms you should know about heart rhythm disorders
pacemakers have been around for decades, but there are still many misconceptions about how they work, what they do and who needs it. Millions of people around the world who have a pacemaker, but it is something that is rarely spoken.
The people have a pacemaker to correct a problem with the heart as a cardiac arrhythmia known. In simple terms, this means that the natural rhythm of the heart has fallen out of balance.
While almost everyone experiences occasional attacks likely, but very few out-of-activity heart rate, some people have arrhythmias that stubborn symptoms are undermining their ability to lead a normal life account, and are largely unpredictable. These people need a pacemaker. The symptoms can say you need a pacemaker include fatigue, dizziness, fainting same, and the inability to exercise without breath.
These symptoms are vague and a person have easy access to all these conditions and do not need a pacemaker. But talk about what really happened.
A healthy heart beats in a certain pattern, which the upper chambers of the heart (atria) and lower chambers (ventricles) so that the heart beat very effective in moving coordinates is a very large amount of blood in the body. This blood is called the cardiac output. If cardiac output falls to zero, the person dies within minutes.
But in many cases, the heart begins on the electrical system (no pump power) to weaken. This is an electrical problem of the inability of the heart to pump blood efficiently heartnot. But many people do not realize the heart as an electrical system.
electrical impulses through the heart guide heart rate produced. When the heart ceases to generate electricity at regular intervals or electricity are more properly travel through the heart muscle, the result may be an arrhythmia.
There are two main types of cardiac arrhythmias that a person is a pacemaker can. The first is called “sick sinus”, which seems to be very complicated. It means the heart fails to produce electrical energy in the right dose.
The heart has the amazing ability to electricity production. This is a small area of ??the tissue reached the so-called sinus node (called “sinus node” or simply “sine”) in the upper right corner of the heart. If the sinus node is slow or faulty electricity generated in a manner or produces electricity at prices well below, can not follow, however, if an exercise and increased heart rate … the sinus node dysfunction is necessary.
About half of all people with pacemakers have this condition. Arrhythmia adult, a person with sinus node dysfunction is a heart beat too slow to support normal activities. The medical term is “sinus bradycardia.” Because you are not enough cardiac output to normal things, and it is always awkward, tired, dizzy or even by doing the things you have done.
The second type of heart rhythm disturbances that can cause a heart pacemaker sounds much easier, but the name is somewhat misleading. This is called “AV block.” Heart block is not really a barrier all. It means that the electrical impulses generated by the heart more efficient to travel through the heart muscle. Flow is delayed or even blocked in some areas.
healthy heart, electrical energy, which drives the heart beat begins in the sinus node (top right side of the heart). It then moves to the ear and then down. When he made his way to the chambers, it passes through an intersection known as atrio-ventricular node or AV node.
Once the electrical energy moves through the AV node to the ventricles, causing contraction of the heart chambers and the blood pump. heart block occurs when there is a problem with the AV node. Sometimes the electricity is late, so the atria and ventricles are more work.
In extreme forms of AV block may not have the energy of the upper half of the heart the way in the bottom half at all (this is called. “Complete heart block”) Since the atria and ventricles do not work in harmony, cardiac output changed This can cause the same list of symptoms. dizziness, shortness of breath, fatigue, fainting all the time and even
. About half of all people, the pacemaker have some form of heart block have (can mild to severe).
Heart rhythm disturbances can be very complicated. For example, a person has two types of heart rhythm disturbances, a pacemaker, have, therefore, a person sinus node dysfunction and heart block, may have the same time. Even those who may have a right now arrhythmia, a different type of heart rhythm disturbances in to develop the future.
pacemaker can do this by “filling in the missing shots.”
pacemakers are small electrical devices implanted in the chest. enter electrical energy into the heart as the right to the beat in a way that “normal” as possible. normal in many patients, the pacemaker to restore heart rhythm. In some patients, the arrhythmia is too hard made for the normal heart rhythm again, but the pacemaker can at least close. come
Pacemakers “know” when electricity supply to the heart because they control every heartbeat and respond according to how their programs doctor. This is useful because patients do not require pacemaker stimulation constant. In fact, for many people, heart rhythm disturbances did not permanently come, but come and go, sometimes for a short time. The pacemaker monitors the heart activity and jumps with stimulation (stimulation) of the energy when the arrhythmia occurs.
It is currently no treatment of arrhythmias in the sense that an irregular heartbeat can be restored with an operation or a pill can. certainly can help operations, pills and other means to manage symptoms or only partially resolve the problem.
pacemakers are actually very safe means of treating certain heart rhythm disturbances. Although they are implanted in the body, no drugs or other chemicals in the body. If you use electricity, which would create the very substance of the body itself is if he could.
doctors have great flexibility in programming the pacemaker, so they are suitable for a wide range of people, from newborns to the elderly bedridden athletes.
and Pacemakers have a memory so that they can report to the doctor, what happens in the patient’s heart. Not all arrhythmias can be treated with a pacemaker. But for heart rhythm disturbances, such as AV block or sinus bradycardia, the pacemaker technology is safe, effective and well proven, that can make a big difference in the lives of those who do.
