Extrasystole: Symptoms and Treatment

The rhythm of the contraction of the heart is provided by his muscles,grouped into nodes and bundles. For example, the sinus-atrial node starts the heart rhythm, and the atrioventricular sends the impulse further - to the ventricle. Violation of the rhythm occurs quite often, and at times it becomes the first sign of a serious illness. One of the types of arrhythmia is extrasystole. Symptoms

extrasystole symptoms
usually manifested as follows:there is a push in the chest, followed by a feeling of cardiac fading or even of its short-term stop for 1-2 seconds. With such a rhythm disturbance, a premature contraction occurs - the extrasystole. It does not occur in the sinus node, which is the source of the impulses, but in other parts of the cardiac muscle, in the excited myocardium. After an extraordinary contraction, the heart is not yet fully filled with blood, there is a certain pause, because of which it is recruited more than necessary. Then there is a strong impulse, an ejection. It is these tremors that are very perceptible to man. If the myocardium is affected, a severe extrasystole develops, the symptoms are quite specific: lack of oxygen, dizziness, weakness, acute pain in the heart.

Types of extrasystoles

supraventricular extrasystole

Depending on the place of occurrence of extraordinaryimpulses, ventricular and supraventricular (supraventricular) extrasystole are determined. If such abbreviations come from the same source, they are called monotopic, if from different - polytope extrasystoles. Premature impulses can go one after another - they are called paired - or two and three in a row - volley. Frequent extrasystole is very dangerous in that the efficiency of the heart decreases. Heart failure may develop. If the ventricular extrasystoles (coming from the ventricles of the heart), then their frequency and volley can provoke fibrillation. Such a rhythm disturbance is called "fatal". Ventricular fibrillation is a dangerous condition. It is characterized by erratic activity of the heart, in which there are no effective reductions and releases. If the fibrillation lasts 5-7 minutes, it will inevitably lead to a fatal outcome.

Diagnosis and treatment

frequent extrasystole
Electrocardiography can detect abnormalitiesrhythm of the heart and determine the place where extrasystole occurs. Symptoms in this case the patient may be absent. It is very important to conduct a complete examination of the body in order to understand the cause of the extrasystole. After all, they appear not only because of heart disease. Extrasystoles can cause stress, nervous illness, brain injury and tumors. Treatment in this case should be directed to the underlying disease, and to maintain a normal heart rate, sedatives will work. When the disease goes to a chronic stage, antiarrhythmic drugs are prescribed. This is especially true if the patient has supraventricular extrasystole, the symptoms of which give him unpleasant and painful sensations.
