Heart electrical problems treatment
What causes electrical problems in the heart?
Risk factors. Electrolyte levels that are too high or too low can affect your heart's electrical impulses and contribute to arrhythmia development. Drinking too much alcohol. Drinking too much alcohol can affect the electrical impulses in your heart and can increase the chance of developing atrial fibrillation.
What causes electrical problems in Your Heart?
Rapid heart rates may be due to "wiring" problems with the electrical pathways in the heart. This can cause "short circuits" making the heart speed up and beat 150 beats a minute or more. The abnormality can be due to a physical extra electrical pathway such as that seen in Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome,...
What is an electrical problem with the heart?
Heart rhythm problems (heart arrhythmias) occur when the electrical impulses that coordinate your heartbeats don't work properly, causing your heart to beat too fast, too slow or irregularly. Heart arrhythmias (uh-RITH-me-uhs) may feel like a fluttering or racing heart and may be harmless.

Sinus rhythm is the normal regular rhythm of the heart set by the natural pacemaker of the heart called the sinoatrial node. It is located in the wall of the right atrium. Normal cardiac impulses start there and are transmitted to the atria and down to the ventricles.

How the heart works: The heart has an electrical system. These electrical signals tell the heart when to squeeze and when to relax. In a normal heart rhythm, the four chambers of the heart beat in a normal, steady pattern. This is called “Sinus Rhythm”. In Afib, the atria (top chambers of the heart) fibrillate (quiver or twitch quickly). This

Problems that may have changed your heart rhythm include: • Heartbeat that’s too slow or too fast • Irregular heart rhythm • Partial or complete block in your heart’s electrical pathways How does it work? • A pacemaker is a battery-powered unit. It produces electrical impulses to your heart to help it pump the right way.

You should be checked for heart and blood vessel disease when you first start on dialysis. The tests should include: An electrocardiogram (ECG) – A graphic record of the heart’s electrical activity that tells your doctor whether your heart rate and heart beats are normal or if heart damage has occurred. The ECG should be repeated once a year.
