BRAIN ATTACK:
The diagnosis and treatment of abnormal electrical activities of the heart is called cardiac electrophysiology. The doctors who specialise in this field are known as cardiac electrophysiologists. Depending on the patient's condition, they diagnose and treat these rhythm disorders with medications, ablation procedures or devices.
Arrhythmia is a condition in which the cardiac rhythm of the heart changes. As a result, it may become too slow, fast, uncoordinated, or irregular. Further, it results in palpitations, breathlessness, light-headedness or syncope, anxiety, fatigue and rarely cardiac arrest (sudden death).
Bradycardia
A slow heart rate or bradycardia occurs due to delay or blockage of the heart conduction pathways. A mild form may require no treatment compared to severe bradycardia, which may need the implantation of an electrical device termed a pacemaker within the heart.
Tachycardia
Tachycardia is a rapid heart rate due to ventricular tachycardia or supraventricular tachycardia. Mild forms do not require treatment. However, severe tachycardia often needs medical therapy to slow the heart rate. If not managed with medications, it may require a radiofrequency ablation procedure to correct the problem. Alternatively, some patients with ventricular tachyarrhythmias may require an implanted defibrillator to restore the heart rhythm.
People who are experiencing the following must immediately seek medical attention; they may then be referred to a cardiac electrophysiologist for further investigation:
