Arrhythmias (Abnormal or irregular heart rhythms)
Arrhythmias irregular beating of heart is due to different reasons like existing heart disease, blood electrolyte imbalances, cadriomyopathy or coronary artery disease. The symptoms are dizziness, shortness of breath, palpitations, pain in chest, fatigue etc. Sometimes none of these symptoms might be there and only on evaluation arrhythmias can be detected. |

There are different types of arrhythmias
• Bradycardia
The heart beat is slower than the regular or normal heart i.e below 60 beats/minute.
• Tachycardia
The heart beat is faster than the reglar rhythm i.e more than 100 beats/minute
• Supra ventricular Arrhythmias
Arrhythmias occurring in the upper chambers of the heart
• Ventricular Arrhythmias
Arrhythmias occurring in the lower chambers of the heart
• Brady Arrhythmias
Arrhythmias occurring due to existing heart disease
Diagnostics
• ECG (Electrocardiogram)
• Stress Test
• Catheterization
• Holter Monitor
Treatment
Pace maker implantation
|
A pace maker is a device used to manage arrhythmias. It helps in optimizing the heart rate to the desired level. The device sends electrical impulses to the heart muscle and keeps tracks of the hearts activity. |

• Implantable Cardiac Defibrillators (ICD) Insertions
• Cardioversions
• Medical Management
• Radio Frequency Ablation
• Maze Procedure (Surgery)
• Pulmonary Vein Isolation with LD reduction
