Pacemaker - usually used for slow arrhythmia such as bradacardia or heart block, pacemakers are devices implanted under the skin to help regulate the SA node.More than half of the ablations treated at Mission Hospital are complex ablations. High-frequency radio waves are sent into the catheter, removing the cells responsible for the malfunction. Ablation - performed in an operating room, this procedure includes the insertion of a catheter into a groin blood vessel to the region of the heart from which the malfunction originates.Lifestyle change - control of caffeine, alcohol or other drugs may relieve an arrhythmia.Stress-management and exercise also can alleviate symptoms.When treatment is considered necessary, our cardiologists may decide on any of the following options for treatment. Variations of arrhythmia that are treated at Mission Heart include:Īfter diagnosis with EKG, stress tests or EPS (electrophysiological study,)our physicians assess whether treatment is required. On-going symptoms of palpitations, irregular heart rate, fatigue, shortness of breath and light-headedness all warrant medical attention. There are various types of arrhythmia conditions, ranging from those with little consequences to those resulting in serious complications. Types of arrhythmia treated at Mission Heart Especially in women, symptoms of arrhythmia can be mistaken for conditions such as panic, stress or anxiety, so it's important to be evaluated for cardiac problems if you have any of these symptoms. When this signal malfunctions, you may experience an uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous change in heart rhythm. Are you experiencing arrhythmia?Īrrhythmia is characterized by a disruption in the heart's rhythm by a malfunction of the SA node. Our commitment to clinical research in this field, as well as the use of advanced technology, such as 3D mapping capabilities, increases success in treating complex arrhythmia. Performing over 1000 arrhythmia procedures annually, Mission Heart Center's cardiac physicians rank among the top practitioners in the field of electrophysiology (the study of the heart's electrical system). Mission Heart's advanced Electrophysiology team treats the majority of heart rhythm disorders, including: arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation (Afib) atrial flutter,ventricular tachycardia (VT), Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) and others.
