Supraventricular extrasystole and its treatment

Organic supraventricular of ekstrasistolii due to diseases of the heart, including:

  • coronary heart disease;
  • heart disease;
  • cardiomyopathy;
  • myocarditis;
  • prolapse of the tricuspid valve;
  • mitral valve prolapse with the return of blood to the left atrium;
  • minor atrial septal defect;
  • the extension of the trunk of the pulmonary artery;
  • the extension of the Atria in obesity, diabetes, chronic alcohol intoxication.

Sinus arrhythmia is most often due to chronic coronary artery disease. About the organic nature of supraventricular arrhythmia can say, if it develops:

  • if sinus tachycardia;
  • comes from several foci (polytopes);
  • associated with angina;
  • extrasystoles more than 30 per hour during monitoring of ECG recording and more 5 minute examination by a doctor.

In addition, supraventricular extrasystole classified in the following way:

  1. The number of ectopic foci: monotony (one hearth), polytopes (several foci).
  2. Localization: atrial source of excitability in the Atria and intraventrikuliarnae – partition wall between the upper and lower chambers of the heart.
  3. Frequency: steam (two consecutive beats), individual (less than 5 per minute), multiple (more than 5 per minute), group (several consecutive premature beats).

Signs

Often people with supraventricular arrhythmia has no symptoms. The most typical signs:

  1. Dizziness, feeling of weakness.
  2. Shortness of breath, lack of air.
  3. Fear, anxiety, panic, fear of death.
  4. Interruptions in heart work, a sense of his coups.
  5. The sense of stopping or heart-stopping.
  6. After fading – a push in the chest.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of arrhythmia based on analysis of patient complaints and history of disease. That is, the doctor figures out how long there are signs with which they are associated, according to the patient, as change over time.
