Bradycardia

Changes in heart rhythm, which is accompanied by a decrease in heart rate, to 50-30 beats per minute is called sinus bradycardia with decreased sinus node automaticity.

Causes of bradycardia

Causes of bradycardia are adverse changes in the conductive system of the heart that lead to the disruption of the propagation of electrical impulse from the sinus node that causes the heart to contract. Failures can occur in the sinus node, which leads to a disturbance of the heart rhythm and, ultimately, to bradycardia, tachycardia or arrhythmia. The causes of such failures can be all sorts of processes that lead to different changes in the heart muscle – myocarditis, atherosclerosis of the coronary vessels, causing coronary heart disease, cardiosclerosis, postinfarction scars, etc.

In addition, heart rate is greatly influenced by the autonomic nervous system, endocrine disease, severe infection, high intracranial pressure.

Heart rhythm affected by various drugs, contributing to the development of bradycardia or tachycardia. It is worth to pay close attention when assigning the various drugs.

However, not only the pathological condition can cause the development of bradycardia. It is also found in healthy, even in trained people.

Small disturbances of sinus rhythm usually do not cause any negative feelings. If the pulse is less than 40 beats per minute, the person feels weakness, dizziness, cold sweat, fainting due to brain hypoxia (oxygen starvation) due to insufficient blood supply.

- when the slow pulse of the person loses consciousness or feels dizzy;
- on the background of bradycardia orsystematic uregeniu pulse developing hypertension or unstable HELL, difficult to treat;
- on the background of bradycardia develops fatigue, exercise tolerance;
- with constant daily or bradycardia is observed with chronic circulatory insufficiency in a large and small circle, and the treatment by means of conservative treatment does not bring results;
- angina and quiet, combined with the slowing of the heart, especially in the absence of data for stenotic lesions of the coronary arteries;
- decrease in heart rate leads to disability of the patient, the disease is not curable conservatively.

Diagnosis of bradycardia

In order to diagnose "prediabetes", it is necessary to make an electrocardiogram, Holter ECG monitoring. After the examination the doctor and the conversation with the patient as necessary, the doctor prescribes further research.

Treatment of TMJ

To get rid of bradycardia, it is necessary not only treatment of the underlying disease, but also compensation of the bradycardia, that is, restoring the required amount of heart rate. It should take into account the severity of the disease.

Is drug treatment. In severe cases, requires surgical intervention for implantation of a pacemaker.
