Cardiac Arrhythmia: Current Therapy MICHAEL R. GOLD and MARK E. JOSEPHSON University of Maryland and Harvard University Rhythm disturbances can range from the harmless to the life-threatening, and treatment varies accordingly, from watchful waiting to emergency intervention. Traditional antiarrhythmic medications have largely been supplanted by newer agents; pharmacologic therapy is giving way to device-based treatment, including pacemakers, defibrillators, and catheter ablation. Dr. Gold is Director, Cardiac Electrophysiology Service, and Associate Professor of Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore. Dr. Josephson is Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, and Director, Harvard-Thorndike Electrophysiology Institute, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston. During the past few years, the treatment of many cardiac arrhythmias has tended to move away from drug therapy and toward device-based therapy. The latter may involve pacemakers, implantable defibrillators, or catheter ablation, depending on the type of arrhythmia. When drug therapy is the preferred route, the agents used are different from those selected several years ago. The treatment changes affect the management of the most common arrhythmias seen in primary care practice, including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia, and ventricular arrhythmia. Atrial Fibrillation The prevalence of atrial fibrillation increases with age; this arrhythmia is most often seen in patients older than 65 years. Atrial fibrillation is typically associated with some form of cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, or valvular heart disease, but it can also occur secondary to metabolic disorders such as thyrotoxicosis. In a minority of young patients, there is no obvious cause, a condition known as lone atrial fibrillation.

We subscribe to the HONcode principles. Verify here. Arrhythmia (En español) Your heart pumps nearly five quarts of blood through your body every 60 seconds. Even while you are sitting still, your heart beats (expands and contracts) 60 to 100 times each minute. These heartbeats are triggered by electrical impulses that begin in your heart's natural pacemaker, called the sinoatrial node (SA node). The SA node is a bunch of cells located at the top of your heart's upper right chamber (the right atrium). Any irregularity in your heart's natural rhythm is called an arrhythmia. Almost everyone's heart skips a beat at one time or another, and these mild, one-time palpitations are harmless. But there are about 4 million Americans who have recurrent arrhythmias, and these people should be under the care of a doctor.

Time.com People Fortune EW Procedure could pinpoint source of arrhythmia Vice President Cheney announced that he will undergo tests over the weekend for irregular heartbeat (CNN) The type of diagnostic procedure vice president Dick Cheney is to undergo Saturday, an electrophysiology study, is a common one used to determine the cause of arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat. With the patient under local anesthetic, doctors run a catheter from the groin to the heart. The doctor uses the catheter to record the heart's electrical activity and to stimulate the type of arrhythmia that previously has been recorded. The procedure is relatively safe. According to statistics from the University of Michigan, the chance of an EPS causing a heart attack, stroke, bleeding or clotting is less than one percent. Fatal complications occur in fewer than one of every 5,000 patients. Because the patient is typically awake during the procedure, the doctor asks for a description of symptoms when the arrhythmia occurs. This description, along with the electrical recordings, helps determine how severe the irregularity is and what kind of treatment is needed.

Researchers say the findings mean doctors should consider radiofrequency catheter ablation over drugs when treating patients with certain irregular heart rhythms, including a rapid heartbeat. "This procedure has clearly moved into a front-line therapy of choice," said Dr. Eric Prystowsky of the Indiana Heart Institute in Indianapolis, one of the medical investigators. The findings will be published in Tuesday's issue of Circulation, a journal of the American Heart Association.

KFSHRC Home Cardiovascular Diseases Department What is an Arrhythmia? How to Diagnose Arrhythmias ... How to Treat Arrhythmias What is an Arrhythmia? How to Diagnose Arrhythmias: EKG: Electrophysiology Study: How to Treat Arrhythmias: Arrhythmias may not require treatment if they are infrequent and associated with very little symptoms. Sometimes, the symptoms may be significantly improved by avoiding things which precipitate arrhythmias such as excessive use of caffeine. The treatment of underlying heart disease may also result in significant improvement in the occurrence of arrhythmia. When the arrhythmia is not correctable by these measures and requires specific treatment, various options are available. Antiarrhythmic Drugs: These drugs can reduce the occurrence of arrhythmia and/or decrease the severity. However, the patient has to take the medication on a lifelong basis. Further, the drugs may cause various side effects and rarely even aggravate the arrhythmia. Therefore, close monitoring and follow-up by the physician is necessary. The drugs only prevent the arrhythmia and do not result in permanent cure. If available, it is preferable to choose a mode of therapy which can achieve permanent cure without a significant risk (see below). Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation: Many types of abnormal, fast heart rhythm disturbances (tachycardia) can be permanently cured by this new non-surgical approach. Catheters (long cables) are introduced into the heart through the blood vessels and the focus of arrhythmia is identified by recording the electrical activity from inside the heart. A specialized computerized recording and analysis system is used for this purpose. Once the arrhythmia focus is identified, radiofrequency energy (modified high-frequency electrical current) is passed through the catheter to that area. This causes heating of tissue in that area and permanently destroys the tiny bundles of heart muscle responsible for the arrhythmia. The permanent cure rate is above 95% with a very low rate of recurrence (1-2%).

Need help with PDF files? Arrhythmia An arrhythmia is a disturbance of the normal rhythm of the heart. The heart normally beats between sixty and eighty times a minute. Arrhythmia is when the heart rate becomes abnormally rapid, slow and/or irregular. About arrhythmias Arrythmias are very common and may occur naturally, or be due to heart disease or other causes, such as a reaction to a drug. Arrhythmia may occur continuously or just occasionally. The heartbeat For general information on the heart, please see the BUPA factsheet The cardiovascular system A heartbeat starts as a small electrical impulse in a special part of the heart wall called at the sinoatrial node (SAN). This is sometimes called the heart's natural "pacemaker". A network of nerves conduct this impulse all over the heart, and in turn this causes contraction of the atria (the two smaller chambers) and ventricles (the two larger chambers). Each heartbeat is represented on a heart trace (electrocardiogram or ECG; see illustration below). ECG traces The symptoms of arrhythmia Many arrhythmias cause no symptoms and may go unnoticed. However they may lead to palpitations, which is an unpleasant awareness of the heartbeat, often described as a thumping in the chest. However, occasionally, arrhythmia can cause sudden death. Other symptoms may include:
