What is atrial tachycardia and how do you treat it?
Atrial tachycardia is a condition of the heart. This website provides some quick information that should be helpful for you: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/151456-treatment
What disorders is cardioversion used to treat?
Most often, cardioversion is used to treat atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. Life-saving cardioversion can be used to treat ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.
Can breathing treat paroxysmal atrial tachycardia?
Briefly hold the nose and mouth closed and breathe out, or by bearing down, as though straining at a bowel movement
How best to cure arterial fibrillation developed recently?
Atrial fibrillation can be treated with medication to control the heart rate and thin the blood to reduce the risk of blood clot, heart attack, or stroke. Invasive procedures to treat atrial fibrillation include an ablation or, in extreme cases, the implantation of a pacemaker.
What dysrhythmia does amiodarone treat?
Amiodarone is primarily used to treat ventricular dysrhythmias, particularly ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF). It is also effective in managing atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, especially in patients with heart failure or structural heart disease. The drug works by prolonging the action potential and refractory period in cardiac tissues, helping to restore normal rhythm.
What rhythm requires synchronized cardioversion?
Synchronized cardioversion is typically used to treat certain types of tachyarrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and some forms of supraventricular tachycardia that are causing hemodynamic instability. It is essential to synchronize the shock with the R wave of the QRS complex to avoid inducing ventricular fibrillation. This procedure is often performed when a patient is symptomatic or in critical condition due to these arrhythmias.
What diseases does foxglove treat?
Congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation.
What is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker?
A dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker is a type of medication that works by blocking calcium channels in blood vessels and the heart. This leads to relaxation of blood vessels, reduced heart workload, and decreased blood pressure. Examples include amlodipine and nifedipine.
You have tachycardia your rate is around 96 is this ok?
A heart rate of 96 is not tachycardia. By definition tachycardia is a rate above 100. However a heart rate of 96 is high. Its probably not something your doctor will treat but worthwhile getting it checked out.
How do you cure Supraventricular tachycardia?
There are several different ways to treat supraventricular tachycardia but there is no cure. You can undergo interval therapy, nodal blocking techniques, physical maneuvers, and medications.
How does doctors use electrical signals to treat heart patients?
One device that your doctor can use on you is a pacemaker. You doctor will put the pacemaker under your skin and it will stay there.
Does heart pacemaker control low and high heart beats?
Yes, a heart pacemaker can help regulate both low and high heartbeats. It is primarily used to treat bradycardia, a condition characterized by an abnormally slow heart rate, by delivering electrical impulses to stimulate the heart. Some advanced pacemakers also have functions to manage tachycardia, which is an abnormally fast heart rate, by adjusting pacing as needed. Overall, pacemakers help maintain a normal heart rhythm.
