Certain rhythm disturbances | Cardiac arrhythmia

Certain rhythm disturbances In the following, the individual rhythm disturbances are described in more detail and explained how they arise and with which symptoms they are associated. The most important instrument for diagnosing cardiac arrhythmias is the ECG (electrocardiography). Various cardiac arrhythmias lead to characteristic changes in the ECG. These are also described here. Unfortunately, … Certain rhythm disturbances | Cardiac arrhythmia

Beta blocker | Cardiac arrhythmia

Beta blocker Beta-blockers are drugs that are able to block certain receptors, so-called ?-receptors (beta-receptors) in the human body and thus prevent the effect of the stress hormones adrenalin/noradrenalin on these receptors. Preferably, they are used in so-called tachycardic cardiac arrhythmias, as rhythm disturbances in which the heart beats with too many beats per minute. … Beta blocker | Cardiac arrhythmia

Symptoms of cardiac dysrhythmia | Cardiac arrhythmia

Symptoms of cardiac dysrhythmia The symptoms of cardiac arrhythmias can be as varied as there are different types of arrhythmias. As a rule, they occur with changes in the beat frequency >160/min and <40/min and with all beat irregularities that lead to disturbances in the cardiovascular system. In some cases they can occur completely without … Symptoms of cardiac dysrhythmia | Cardiac arrhythmia

Cardiac arrhythmia in children | Cardiac arrhythmia

Cardiac arrhythmia in children In principle, all types of cardiac dysrhythmia that occur in adults can also be present in children. In most cases, however, these are not acquired, as in adults, but are congenital cardiac dysrhythmias from the beginning (e.g. due to congenital heart defects, heart valve defects, heart muscle diseases, etc.). In some … Cardiac arrhythmia in children | Cardiac arrhythmia

Cardiac arrhythmia and thyroid gland | Cardiac arrhythmia

Cardiac arrhythmia and thyroid gland The thyroid gland can always cause cardiac arrhythmia when it is overactive and produces too many thyroid hormones, resulting in an oversupply of these in the blood system (hyperthyroidism). A benign lump in the thyroid tissue also leads to hyperthyroidism. This also affects the function of the heart. This is … Cardiac arrhythmia and thyroid gland | Cardiac arrhythmia

Diagnosis | Cardiac arrhythmia due to stress

Diagnosis A cardiac dysrhythmia can generally be recognized by an altered pulse rate.The heart rate measurement can already be used to differentiate whether the heart beats too slowly, too quickly or irregularly. In order to find out whether stress is the trigger for the cardiac dysrhythmia, a precise survey of the patient’s medical history is … Diagnosis | Cardiac arrhythmia due to stress
