Treatment of Elderly Arrhythmia

Keyword:Arrhythmia Med
The key lies in making the correct diagnosis according to the cause of arrhythmia, that is cardiac arrhythmia is caused by "internal problems" (heart disease) or "foreign aggression" (non-heart disease). For "internal problems", we must actively "peace within" to treat heart attack; and for "foreign aggression"(non-heart disease) it must be treated correctly, such as infection control, to correct electrolyte imbalance, additional potassium, disable certain drugs, etc. arrhythmia would disappeared. A few older people with atrial fibrillation caused by hyperthyroidism is often misdiagnosed as coronary heart disease caused. If not control hyperthyroidism, it is difficult to control atrial fibrillation. This treatment of arrhythmias should also be paid to the choice of appropriate anti-arrhythmia medicines.

Treatment of Elderly ArrhythmiaAt present there are many commonly used drugs. If using of anti-arrhythmic medicines reasonability, we can get a better effect. It should be reminded that the arrhythmia treatment of elderly must be in a doctor's observation and guidance, be sure not taking as will. This is because the elderly is poor tolerant of medicine and prone to side effects (such as quinidine would cause syncope); Therefore, when using drugs in treating arrhythmia it must be with caution, as far as possible be safe and effective. Dose should not be too large, and the process of medication required close observation.
