Heart Rhythm

Understanding Heart Rhythm Disorders

Heart rhythm disorders, or arrhythmias, occur when the electrical impulses that coordinate your heartbeats do not function correctly, causing the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly. This section provides detailed insights into different types of arrhythmias, their causes, symptoms, and the importance of early diagnosis. With clear explanations and visual aids, we aim to demystify the complexities of cardiac conditions so that you feel informed and empowered.

Services

Our Services For Patients

The Heartbeat Foundation offers a range of services to help manage and treat heart rhythm disorders:

Pacemaker Implantation

A pacemaker is a small device implanted under the skin to regulate slow or irregular heartbeats. It sends electrical impulses to keep the heart beating at a normal rate. This procedure is ideal for patients with bradycardia or heart block and allows a quick return to daily activities.

AICD Implantation

An AICD (Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator) prevents sudden cardiac arrest by detecting and correcting life-threatening heart rhythms. It delivers a controlled electric shock when needed, protecting patients from ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.

Cardiac Resynchronization

CRT is used to treat heart failure by synchronizing the heart’s pumping action. A special device, either a CRT-P (pacemaker) or CRT-D (defibrillator), improves blood flow, reduces symptoms, and enhances overall heart function in patients with electrical conduction issues.

Electrophysiology Study

An EPS is a diagnostic test to analyze abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). By inserting catheters into the heart, doctors study its electrical activity and determine whether medications, ablation, or a pacemaker is the best treatment option.

Radio Frequency Ablation

RFA is a non-surgical procedure that treats arrhythmias by eliminating abnormal electrical signals in the heart. A catheter delivers radiofrequency energy, creating small scars that restore normal rhythm. It is an effective and a long-term solution.

Arrhythmia Mapping

Arrhythmia Mapping uses 3D imaging to pinpoint the exact location of abnormal heartbeats. This advanced technique improves the accuracy of catheter ablation, ensuring precise treatment for complex arrhythmias and increasing the chances of long-term success.
