What is Cardiac Arrhythmia?

Cardiac arrhythmia refers to any disturbance in the heart’s rhythm—be it too fast, too slow, or irregular. Cardiac arrhythmias usually stem from disturbances in the heart’s electrical conduction system. While some are benign and cause no symptoms, others may lead to serious complications if not diagnosed and treated promptly.

Types of Cardiac Arrhythmias

1. Tachyarrhythmias (Fast Heartbeats)

  • Supraventricular Arrhythmias (originating in the atria):
    • Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT): Rapid heart rate from the AV node.
    • Atrial Flutter: Rapid, organized atrial contractions.
    • Atrial Fibrillation (AFib): Disorganized, irregular atrial rhythm.
    • Ectopic Atrial Tachycardia: Irregular impulses outside the SA node.
  • Ventricular Arrhythmias (originating in the ventricles):
    • Ventricular Tachycardia (VT): Fast, potentially dangerous rhythm from ventricles.
    • Ventricular Fibrillation (VF): Chaotic electrical activity, life-threatening.

2. Bradyarrhythmias (Slow Heartbeats)

  • AV Block: Slowing or complete blockage of electrical signals.
  • Sinus Bradycardia: Abnormally slow sinus node activity.

Causes of Cardiac Arrhythmia

Heart-Related Causes:

Arrhythmias Without Structural Heart Disease:

  • AV Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia
  • Pre-excitation Syndromes (e.g., WPW Syndrome)
  • Channelopathies (e.g., Long QT Syndrome)

Other Contributing Factors:

  • Hypertension
  • Diabetes
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Obstructive sleep apnea
  • Substance abuse (alcohol, caffeine, drugs)
  • Smoking
  • Certain medications
  • COVID-19 infection
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Stress and anxiety

Symptoms of Cardiac Arrhythmia

  • Palpitations
  • Chest discomfort
  • Lightheadedness or dizziness
  • Shortness of breath
  • Fainting or near-fainting
  • Fatigue
  • Sweating
  • Anxiety

Diagnosis of Cardiac Arrhythmia

At Metro Institute of Heart and Vascular Sciences (MIHVS), a detailed diagnostic approach is used to determine the type and cause of arrhythmia:

  • Medical history and physical examination
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG)
  • Holter monitoring (24–48 hrs)
  • Event recorder (up to 30 days)
  • Echocardiography
  • Exercise stress testing
  • Tilt table testing
  • Electrophysiology (EP) study and 3D mapping

Advanced Cardiac Arrhythmia Treatment Options

Our facility offers advanced treatment options with high success rates, performed by highly experienced electrophysiologists.

Medications:

  • Antiarrhythmic drugs
  • Beta-blockers
  • Calcium channel blockers
  • Anticoagulants (especially for AFib)

Non-Surgical Interventions:

  • Cardioversion: Electrical shock to restore normal rhythm.
  • Catheter Ablation: Catheter ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy or cryotherapy to precisely eliminate abnormal electrical pathways responsible for irregular heart rhythms.

Device Implantation:

  • Pacemakers: For bradyarrhythmias where the heart beats too slowly.
  • Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD): For patients at high risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
  • Leadless Pacemakers & His Bundle/Left Bundle Pacing: Advanced alternatives with fewer complications.

External Devices:

  • Automated External Defibrillator (AED): Used in emergencies to restore heart rhythm.

Surgical Intervention:

Required in rare cases involving valve repairs, congenital defects, or structural heart damage.

Lifestyle Modifications

  • Maintain a healthy weight
  • Follow a heart-healthy diet
  • Engage in regular physical activity
  • Quit smoking and limit alcohol intake
  • Manage stress through relaxation techniques
  • Regular health check-ups and medication adherence

Frequently Asked Questions

How serious is cardiac arrhythmia?

Severity varies. Some arrhythmias are benign, while others can be life-threatening and require immediate intervention.

Can arrhythmia be cured?

Certain types like SVT can be cured via ablation. Others, such as AFib, can be managed effectively with long-term treatment.

What are premature heartbeats?

 They are extra heartbeats that disrupt the regular rhythm, often felt as a skipped or fluttering beat.

Do they indicate a serious condition?

Usually not, but frequent episodes in people with heart disease may require evaluation.

What is bradycardia?

A heart rate that falls below the normal range, typically less than 60 beats per minute.

Does bradycardia always need treatment?

Not always—athletes may naturally have lower rates. But if it causes symptoms, treatment like a pacemaker may be necessary.

What is Sick Sinus Syndrome?

A condition where the heart’s natural pacemaker malfunctions, causing erratic heart rates. More common in older adults.

What is a conduction block?

It is a delay or interruption in the electrical signals, which can cause skipped beats or slower heart rhythms.
