Bradycardia. Treatment according to classification

Bradycardia is a kind of arrhythmia. It is characterized by a heart rate of less than sixty beats per minute. As a rule, bradycardia is a concomitant disease with different pathologies of the heart. However, in some cases it is the norm (for example, in training athletes).

In general, the disease is accompanied by semi-fainting conditions, weakness, cold sweat, dizziness. There is a short-term loss of consciousness, instability of pressure, pain in the heart. In some cases, the disease leads to heart failure. In patients diagnosed with severe bradycardia, treatment is performed promptly. This is due to a too low heart rate (less than forty strokes). Surgical intervention consists in the implantation of an electrocardiostimulator.

The basis for the manifestation of bradycardia is a disruption of the function of the sinus node responsible for the generation of electrical impulses with a frequency of more than sixty beats and their adequate distribution through the conducting channels.

A moderate disease may not provoke a hemodynamic disorder. However, the development of the disease leads to inadequate blood supply and oxygen starvation in organs and tissues. At the same time, their normal functioning is disrupted.

For physically trained individuals, a rare heart rhythm is considered as a norm. As practice shows, a quarter of healthy young men have a bradycardia. Treatment in this case, as a rule, is not appointed. The frequency of their heartbeat is fifty to sixty beats per minute. During the sleep, vegetative regulation has a physiological effect, which causes a decrease in the rhythm by thirty percent.

Depending on the localization of the manifested disorders, sinus (associated with the disorder of automatism of the sinus node) is distinguished by a bradycardia. A rare heartbeat is associated with cardiac blockages (atrioventricular or sinoatrial), which are accompanied by impaired conduction of pulses between the ventricles and atria or atria and sinus node.

Patients with myocardial infarction, intoxications, myocarditis, who are additionally diagnosed with bradycardia, the treatment is aimed at eliminating the primary disease. As practice shows, the secondary complication disappears after the elimination of the main disease. A rare heart rhythm can manifest itself in this case in acute or chronic (with age-related heart disease) form.

Depending on the cause of the sinus bradycardia may have a neurogenic (extracardiac) or drug, organic or toxic form. In some cases, because of the onset, a central, idiopathic and degenerative form is divided.

As mentioned above, for some patients who are diagnosed with a bradycardia of the heart, treatment is not prescribed. Organic, toxic and extracardiac forms suggest therapy for the underlying disease. For people diagnosed with "drug bradycardia", treatment consists of correcting the dosage or completely eliminating medications that affect the slowing of the rhythm.

The choice of therapeutic method, of course, depends on the first cause of the disease. However, in any case, a doctor's control is necessary.

Bradycardia. Treatment with folk remedies.

With a lower rhythm frequency, folk medicine offers the following remedy: 500 grams of chopped walnuts are mixed with 250 grams of sesame oil and 250 grams of sugar. Then it is necessary to cut four lemons into four parts, to boil in one liter of water until a mushy broth is obtained. Then it should be poured into a prepared mixture of nuts, butter and sugar and mix thoroughly. Recommend to take this broth on a tablespoon three times a day for twenty minutes before eating.

You can use the infusion of crushed young pine branches. Sprigs are collected in May. They should fill 2/3 of the glass container, pour vodka to the top. Insist is recommended on the windowsill for 14 days. Then the infusion is filtered and taken on 20 drops, diluted in a tablespoon of water. Take recommended three times a day before meals for 30 minutes for one to two months.
