How to judge arrhythmia?

With the aging of the population, the incidence rate of arrhythmia is also rising, and there is a trend of younger. Arrhythmia is a very common cardiovascular disease, which refers to abnormal heartbeat rate or rhythm. The causes include gene mutation, coronary heart disease, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, bad eating habits, etc. How to judge arrhythmia？

1. Typical symptoms. The severity of arrhythmia varies, which is directly related to the severity of the primary disease. In clinical practice, its typical symptoms are palpitation, fatigue, suffocation, dizziness, blackness and syncope occurs in severe cases. Many patients are accompanied by obvious hemodynamic disorders, specifically manifested as blurred vision, abdominal distension, diarrhea, frequent urination, chest tightness, shortness of breath, etc. When you are excited or over exercising, the symptoms will suddenly worsen and you need to see a doctor as soon as possible.

2. ECG examination. In order to judge whether there is arrhythmia, we need to accept ECG examination, which is the most effective method to diagnose the disease and has decisive significance. If the check shows that the number of heartbeats per minute is less than 30, it means that the heartbeat is bradycardia and there may be abnormal conduction. If the number of heartbeats per minute exceeds 150, it means tachycardia. The dynamic electrocardiogram can reflect the change of heart rate within 24 hours and make accurate qualitative analysis of the disease.

First of all, let the patients correctly understand the disease, eliminate pessimism, actively find the cause and carry out targeted treatment.
