Our hearts rely on precise electrical impulses to maintain rhythm, ensuring an optimal number of beats per minute. When these beats become too slow, fast, or irregular, it signals an arrhythmia. While some may dismiss it as benign, arrhythmias could signify underlying serious or life-threatening conditions.
If you're apprehensive about your heart's rhythm, it's imperative not to delay seeking medical attention from your trusted care provider or specialists at Champion Heart & Vascular Center. Our array of heart care services is tailored to find the right treatment for you, promoting a healthier life.
Restoring a Normal Heartbeat
Understanding what constitutes a normal heartbeat is essential in treating arrhythmias. The heart's rhythm is governed by the sinus node in the right atrium, generating electrical impulses that trigger muscle contractions, facilitating blood circulation. As these impulses pass through the atria and ventricles, they regulate heart rate and rhythm. Normally, the resting heart rate falls between 60 and 100 beats per minute.
Arrhythmias manifest when heartbeats deviate from this range or exhibit irregular patterns. Tachycardia refers to heartbeats exceeding 100 beats per minute, while Bradycardia indicates heart rates below 60 beats per minute.
Treatment Options
At Champion Heart & Vascular Center, we diagnose and treat both Tachycardia and Bradycardia, tailoring solutions to your specific condition.
For Bradycardia, pacemaker implantation is a common approach, regulating heart rate by delivering electrical pulses when necessary. Conversely, treatment for Tachycardia may involve various methods, including vagal maneuvers to slow heart rate or medications to regulate rhythm. Cardioversion, catheter ablation, or a combination of therapies may also be recommended based on individual needs.
