Treatment of arrhythmia

Arrythmia is a variant of a cardiac arrhythmia, additional contraction of the entire heart muscle. It is called a nervous impulse from the accumulated nervous tension. Arrythmia not go unnoticed – because the heart muscle is weaker, it decreases the volume of blood supply, cardiac output. Suffers heart, the deteriorating state of the myocardium. Treatment of arrhythmia is performed by a cardiologist after a thorough examination, identify the type and causes of arrhythmia.

Medicines for arrhythmia

In mild cases, idiopathic arrhythmia, not associated with changes of cardiac muscle and coronary vessels, do not require drug therapy. Enough to explain to the patient that the reason for this state – of violations, increased physical and psychological stress. It is sufficient to arrange the order of the day, do not overload yourself with excessive responsibilities, to get rid of bad habits, and dangerous symptoms cease to manifest.

If excessive concerns of the patient with his condition, he prescribed the reception of light sedatives (preparations of Valerian root).

When arrhythmia caused by functional disorders of organs and systems, need to address the reasons for its occurrence.

This includes such diseases and conditions:

• Disturbed water-salt balance;

• Neurosis;

• Toxic damage of the body;

• Alcoholic intoxication;

• Cervical osteochondrosis.

Treatment organic arrythmia carried drugs from the pharmacological group of beta-blockers. Diversity of medicines for the treatment of arrhythmia requires specialist in-depth knowledge of pharmacology and cardiology. Not all drugs effectively restore normal the heart muscle. You have to take into account the individual characteristics of the disease, comorbidities.

Medications to treat arrhythmias contain one or more active substances. The combination complements the positive characteristics of each other. Competent selection of medications allows you to create an individual plantreatment.

Medications for the treatment of arrythmia:

• Inderal,
• Etacizin,
• Cordaron,
• Amiodarone,
• Obsidan,
• Sotalex,
• Pranolol,
• Propranolol,
• Sotahexal.

In most cases, you have to find the right drug based on the health of the patient, the data of diagnostic tests.

4 important product for the heart and blood vessels

Not only drugs able to restore the heart to a normal rhythm. Great importance is the inclusion in the diet of certain foods and nutrients.

Selenium

The importance of selenium for maintaining health of the cardiac muscle and the vascular system was first proven by German and Finnish researchers. In Germany and in Finland more recently, there was the problem of the lack of selenium in food. To solve at the governmental level the decision was made to Supplement this trace element in feed for farm animals.

The result of these measures was twofold decrease in the number of deaths from cardiac diseases in the last two decades. Studies have substantiated the reason that selenium has a direct impact on prevention of cardiac diseases. Certain enzymes in the human body contribute to the oxidation-reduction reactions. They are represented by glycoproteins that contain selenium. Enzymes restoring lipid peroxide antioxidants. The lack of selenium leads to a transformation of myocardial cells, degeneration.

This positive effect of glycoproteins on cardiac function ends. During a myocardial infarction, these enzymes protect the heart muscle, limiting the zone of necrosis. The smaller area of the myocardium affected during infarction, the more chances to avoid heart failure. Studies under the ECG monitoring showed that the lack of selenium in 6 times lower cardiac index leads to development of ischemia.

In contrast to these data, there are research results about the positive effect of selenium in combination with tocopherol on the recovery of patients after a heart attack. The lack of selenium leads to the development of myocardial infarction, stroke, and high risk of development of cancer lesions.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids

This compound contains in fatty sea fish and in suchplant foods like soy and Flaxseed oil.

Beneficial effect of omega-3 fatty acids:

• Protect the vascular wall from the negative effects of oxidized LDL;
• Struggling with atherosclerosis;
• Prevent blood clots;
• Enhance immunity;
• Normalize the condition of the mucous membranes;
• Prevent allergies;
• Accelerate the process of recovery with inflammation;
• Used for the prevention of cancerous lesions of the prostate, breast, ovaries;
• Ensure the normal functioning of cell membranes responsible for the transmission of nerve impulses, for storing information cells of the myocardium, retina, and other organs;
• Helps to fight diseases: diabetes, eczema, psoriasis, depression, Alzheimer's disease;
• Supports reproductive health, immune and cardiovascular systems.

For optimal effect on the human body omega-3s must be received in full. For adult men, the figure of 2 g for women and 1.6 g.

This number contains the following products:

• 1-1,5 g flax seed;
• 90 g canned sardines;
• 7-9 walnuts;
• 1 tbsp canola oil;
• 120 g canned tuna.

The desired concentration of omega-3 lipids would be achieved if at least 2 times a week to include in the diet of fatty sea fish, salads, rapeseed, sesame, peanut, linseed oil, eat every day a 1 tsp of Flaxseed oil on an empty stomach. If these conditions are impossible, come to the aid of supplements containing polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids.

Disease, in the treatment and prevention of which use the beneficial properties of omega-3 lipids:

• Ischemia of the heart and blood vessels;

• Ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke;

• Atherosclerosis;

• Diseases of the joints;

• Allergic dermatitis and eczema;

• Diabetes type 2 diabetes;

• Obesity;

• Diseases of the veins (thrombophlebitis,varicose veins, phlebothrombosis).

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids can pass through the placental barrier, to penetrate into breast milk. This has a positive effect on the development of the fetus and infant.

Ginkgo biloba

The fruit of this plant is extremely useful in the treatment of cardiac diseases. Chemical compounds of the fruits of Ginkgo biloba have a positive effect on the condition of the walls of blood vessels, normalizing blood pressure, prevention of blood clots.

The positive properties of Ginkgo biloba:

• Prevention of myocardial infarction, stroke, cardiac ischemia;

• Preventing the occurrence of glaucoma;

• The stimulation of brain activity (memory, attention, concentration) due to the normalization of blood circulation;

• Treatment of impotence;

• Prevention of age-related myopia;

• Use as antioxidant to prevent cancer processes;
• Increased immunity;
• The improvement in hair growth and strengthening;
• Treatment of inflammatory processes.

The most valuable element Ginkgo biloba quercetin accumulates in nerve fibers and cells of the endocrine glands. The positive effect of the drug has been proved by scientists in Europe, Japan and America.

Potassium for the heart

In the treatment of diseases of the heart muscle, it is important that in the body in sufficient quantity was present potassium. Without it, and sodium, essential for normal functioning of the heart.

The importance of potassium for optimal cardiac

• Regulates blood pressure, leading to regulations;
• Normalizes heart rhythm;
• Helps to get rid of the deposits of sodium salts on the walls of the blood vessels;
• Effectively fights with the manifestations of atherosclerosis;
• Potassium salts help to maintain the tone of blood vessels and capillaries healthy.

Lack of potassium leads to arrhythmias, pathological decrease in blood pressure, increase heart muscle. The excess of this trace element also has a negative impact on the functioning of the heart. Intake of potassium inthe adult human body is 2500 mg per day.

The potassium content in foods:

Potassium in the treatment of arrythmia

Salts of potassium used in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including in the treatment of arrythmia. Types of arrhythmias ambiguously respond to the drugs with potassium. The best chance of cure ventricular premature beats, weaker effect in the treatment oftypes of supraventricular arrhythmias. Absolutely not achieved a visible effect in the treatment of reflex and functional arrhythmia.

Application of preparations of potassium (potassium chloride):

• On the first day of treatment is 6-14 g once;
• Further – 1,5-2 g 3-4 times per day;
• Positive effect – 1 g 3-4 times a day;
• When malabsorption from the gastrointestinal tract in/in the drip method in the composition of the polarizing mixture;
• The combination of hypokalemia with acidosis – in/combined with potassium bicarbonate.

In addition to potassium chloride to saturate the body with this element use Panangin (Asparkam). It is used as follows:

• Oral: 1-2 tablets 3 R/day;
• Intravenous injection slowly at 10-20 ml per 20 ml of physiological solution;
• In/in the drip method, with 250 ml of glucose 5%.

The drug dosage is reduced with the disappearance of the arrhythmia or for reducing their number. Treatment with potassium is carried out under the supervision of the ECG, as it reduces the excitability of the myocardium and the effect on the conductivity.

Contraindications to the use of potassium supplements:

• Kidney failure;
• Full atrioventrikuliarna blockade.

Treatment of arrhythmia radiofrequency ablation

For treatment of ventricular arrythmia, not amenable to conservative treatment with medications, is used RFA (radiofrequency ablation). This method also is assigned with frequent atrial extrasystole in combination with atrial fibrillation. The method consists in a directional electromagnetic radiation to the locus of occurrence of arrhythmia in the myocardium.

The radiation destroys the foci of pathology. To Refine their localization electrophysiological study of the heart muscle (ESH). This study is similar to ECG, but unlike the latter, has the additional diversion. EFI allows you to accurately determine the location of the nidus.

The accuracy of the study directly affects the effectiveness of the ablation. The result of the operation is controlled by re, EFI. The absence of foci of excitation of the myocardium indicates the success of the operation.
