Fighting Arrhythmia

Diagnosis of Arrhythmia

Electrocardiography (ECG): the main method to record the heart’s electrical activity.

Holter Monitoring: 24-hour ECG recording to detect episodic rhythm disturbances.

Echocardiography (Heart Ultrasound): evaluates heart structure and function.

Stress Tests: assess heart response to physical exertion.

Modern Treatment Methods

1. Medication Therapy

Includes antiarrhythmic drugs, beta-blockers, and agents that control heart rate. Avoiding caffeine and alcohol may also be effective.

2. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

A minimally invasive procedure using a catheter to deliver radiofrequency energy to heart areas causing arrhythmia.

3. Implanted Devices

Pacemakers regulate rhythm in bradycardia cases.

Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators (ICDs) prevent dangerous tachyarrhythmias.

4. Innovative Technologies

Farapulse Pulsed Field Ablation: safe and efficient with a short recovery period.

MERGE CARTO system: combines MRI and electrical data to precisely locate arrhythmia sites.

Prevention and Recommendations

Regular medical checkups.

Healthy lifestyle: no bad habits, balanced diet, physical activity.

Stress and blood pressure control.

If symptoms appear, it's essential to consult a cardiologist for timely diagnosis and personalized treatment.
