Arrhythmia

A normal heart rhythm ensures oxygen delivery to the brain, lungs, and other organs.  The group of heart cells that determines the heart rate and generates electrical impulses is called the conduction system. Arrhythmia is a violation of the heart rhythm, and hence the work of the cardiac conduction system.

Treatment of arrhythmia abroad

This is a dangerous condition that is fraught with complications or even death. If finances allow, you can undergo arrhythmia treatment abroad, with modern equipment and first-class cardiology surgeons.

Cardiac arrhythmias are treated in Europe, Israel, India, Turkey, Singapore, China and other countries where medical tourism is developed.

Treatment of arrhythmia abroad without surgery

Radiofrequency ablation of the heart. One of the most effective minimally invasive procedures to eliminate arrhythmias. Ablation is prescribed if medications do not help or there are contraindications for taking them.

Catheter electrodes are inserted into the femoral or brachial artery and brought directly to the heart chambers. The catheter promotion process is monitored on a monitor. The catheters are then connected to equipment that records cardiac signals. This is necessary in order to find out where the pulse that disrupts the heart rhythm is coming from.

After the problem area is found, the electrode strongly heats the tissues in the corresponding cardiac chamber. After the destruction of the tissues, a microscopic scar remains, which becomes a shield preventing the passage of abnormal electrical impulses.

The procedure is well tolerated, and rehabilitation takes only three days. In most cases, cardiac arrhythmias are completely stopped after surgery.

Cryodestruction. It is performed in the same way as radiofrequency ablation. The difference is that the destruction of the pathological tissue site is carried out not by radio frequency waves, but by liquid nitrogen or argon, that is, by intense cold.

Surgical treatment methods

Installing a pacemaker: a pacemaker or a cardioverter defibrillator. The necessary electrical signals can also be adjusted artificially. Electrodes are inserted through an incision under the collarbone to the heart, then connected to a small electronic device. It is made of safe titanium and weighs about 60 grams. A pacemaker causes the heart to contract at the right rhythm or stimulates heart contractions when they dangerously slow down. It changes every 8-10 years.

For the treatment of arrhythmias abroad, for example, in Israel, they can already offer more modern stimulants in the form of a tiny capsule. It is implanted through a catheter, in the immediate vicinity of the heart. It replaces both a traditional stimulator and electrodes.

Electrical cardioversion. Restoration of normal rhythm by electric shock. Scenes of emergency rescue and intensive care defibrillation are often shown in movies. This procedure is one of the types of cardioversion. For the treatment of arrhythmia abroad, it is carried out as planned and under general anesthesia.
