book describes Abnormal Slow Heart Beats, Diagnosis and Treatment of Bradycardias and Related Diseases<br />Brady-arrhythmia is an abnormal slow heart rhythm and heart beat.<br />There are many types of Brady-arrhythmias.<br />They are categorized by some doctors by where they start in the heart (the atria, AV node, or the ventricles).<br />An arrhythmia is a disorder with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat.<br />When an arrhythmia occurs, the heart can beat too fast, too slow, or with an irregular rhythm.<br />Tachycardia is a heartbeat that is too fast.<br />Bradycardia is a heartbeat that is too slow.<br />Most arrhythmias are harmless, but some can be serious or even life threatening.<br />Brady-arrhythmias happen if the heart rate is slower than normal.<br />If the heart rate is too slow, not enough blood enters the brain.<br />This can induce the patient to faint.<br />In adults, a heart rate slower than 60 beats per minute is called a brady-arrhythmia.<br />Certain people normally have slow heart rates, particularly people who are very physically fit.<br />For them, a heartbeat slower than 60 beats per minute is not riskier and does not induce symptoms.<br />But in other people, severe diseases or other disorders may produce brady-arrhythmias.<br />Brady-arrhythmias can be produced by:<br />1.Heart attacks<br />2.Disorders that harm or change the hearts electrical activity, such as an under-active thyroid gland or aging<br />3.An imbalance of chemicals or other substances in the blood, such as potassium<br />4.Medicines such as beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, some anti-arrhythmia medicines, and digoxin<br />Sick sinus syndrome:<br />Irregular electrical impulses produced by the SA node produce a slower-than-normal heart rate (occasionally alternating with rapid heart rates if the electrical impulses switch to a high rate).<br />Brady-arrhythmias can have symptoms that are more generalized, such as:<br />1.Feeling faint or tired<br />2.Light-headedness or passing out (syncope)<br />3.Shortness of breath<br />Diagnosis of Brady-arrhythmias<br />If the symptoms last or there are a history of unexplained sudden death in the family, it is important for the doctor to send the patient to a heart specialist<br />The most successful way to diagnose an arrhythmia is with an electrical recording of the heart rhythm called an electrocardiogram (ECG).<br />Other tests used in diagnosing Brady-arrhythmias are:</p><ol><li>Cardiac event recorder<br />A device to record occasional symptoms over a period of time whenever the patient has them<br />Electrophysiological (EP) study<br />This is a test to locate disorders with the electrical signals in the heart by passing soft wires up a vein in the leg and into the heart while the patient are sedated<br />Echocardiogram (echo) is an ultrasound scan of the heart<br />Treatment for Brady-arrhythmias</li></ol><p>The way the brady-arrhythmia will be treated will depend on whether it is a fast or slow arrhythmia or heart block.</p><p>Any underlying reasons of the arrhythmia, such as heart failure, will require to be treated as well.</p><p>The treatments used for arrhythmias are:<br />Medication to stop or prevent an arrhythmia or control the rate of an arrhythmia<br />Electrical Cardioversion<br />This is a treatment that makes use of electricity to shock the heart back into a normal rhythm while the patient are anesthetized or sedated<br />Catheter ablation<br />This is a keyhole treatment under local or general anesthetic that carefully obliterates the diseased tissue in the heart that induces the arrhythmia<br />Pacemaker<br />Abnormal slow heart rates that are dangerous can only be treated with pacemakers.<br />A pacemaker is a small device that is placed under the skin of the chest or abdomen to help regulate abnormal heart rhythms.<br />Some bradycardia do not need treatment.</p><p>TABLE OF CONTENT<br />Introduction<br />Chapter 1 Abnormal
