Arrhythmia Treatment Hospital in Mumbai, India

The most common arrhythmia symptoms are:

-Fatigue

-Anxiety

-Dizziness

-Sweating

-Fainting

The most common arrhythmia causes are:

-    High blood pressure

-    Anxiety or stress

-    Coronary artery disease

-    Sleep apnea

-     Diabetes

-     Genetics

-     Underactive thyroid gland

-    Stroke

-     Sudden death

-     Heart failure

With advanced resources, including leading-edge technology our electrophysiologists follow a multidisciplinary approach to develop the most comprehensive treatment plan according to the patient’s medical needs. Services for cardiac arrhythmias treatment may include:

• Permanent Pacemaker:   It is a small electronic device that is used to automatically monitor the patient’s heartbeat and regulates it by transmitting electrical impulses to stimulate the heart. It is surgically implanted below the collar bone and improves the heart’s rhythm and symptoms associated with arrhythmia by stimulating the heart when it is beating slowly.
• Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT): It is a special kind of pacemaker known as a biventricular pacemaker - that works by sending small electrical impulses through the leads attached to it, in order to keep the right and left ventricles pumping together, called AV synchrony. It is designed to help the ventricles contract normally and improve the heart’s rhythm and symptoms associated with arrhythmia or heart failure.
• Automatic Implantable Defibrillator (AICD): It is considered as a very advanced Pacemaker that is implanted into the patient’s chest. It continuously monitors the patient’s heartbeat and delivers precisely calibrated electrical shocks to correct the arrhythmia. It is a battery-powered device that helps in preventing the symptoms of sudden cardiac death.

We at the unit strive to offer advanced treatment for all types of arrhythmia, using the latest evidence-based technology and personalised heart rhythm disorder patient care to ensure each patient receives the most comprehensive diagnosis and treatment possible.

The prognosis of patients with arrhythmia depends on certain factors. These factors include history or presence of coronary artery disease, heart failures, and valvular heart disease.

We use innovative techniques to help diagnose arrhythmias. These include:

• Electrocardiograms:It is a painless test to detect and record the heart's electrical activity
• Echocardiogram:It involves the use of high-frequency sound waves to evaluate the pumping action of the heart
• Holter Monitoring:It is a 24 hr Ambulatory ECG monitoring that involves the use of a Holter monitor which is a battery-operated portable device that measures and records the patient’s heart's activity for 24 hours.
• Exercise Test (Stress Test Or Treadmill Test):This test is performed to determine how well a patient’s heart is responding during the hardest working times.
• Electrophysiology Study (EP Study):these are tests that help doctors understand the nature of abnormal heart rhythms by precisely locating the heart tissue that causes abnormal electrical impulses.

Certain abnormalities related to impulse formation and impulse conduction lead to rhythm disturbances. Decreased intrinsic pacemaker function is also responsible for causing similar conditions.

The most common diagnostic test to diagnose arrhythmia is Electrocardiogram (ECG). Some of the other diagnostic tests include Holter monitor, Event recorder, Echocardiogram, and Implantable loop recorder.
