Other conduction disorders - what does this mean
Other conduction disorders occur when the electrical signals that are sent to the heart to regulate the heart rhythm are disrupted, causing the heart to beat too slowly, too quickly, or irregularly. this can be caused by a variety of factors including structural defects, inflammation, or medications.
What happens during the disease - other conduction disorders
Other conduction disorders are a group of heart rhythm disorders caused by abnormal electrical conduction of the heart. this can lead to an inability for the heart to contract and pump blood effectively, resulting in a decrease in blood flow to the body and tissues. this can cause symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath, palpitations, and chest pain. treatment for these disorders can include medical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and in some cases, implantable devices such as pacemakers.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of treatment: To reduce the symptoms of other conduction disorders and improve patient quality of life.
- Lifestyle modifications such as eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly and avoiding alcohol and tobacco
- Medications such as beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers and antiarrhythmic drugs
- Implantable devices such as pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs)
- Cardiac ablation, a procedure that uses heat or cold to destroy areas of the heart that are causing abnormal electrical signals
- Cardiac resynchronization therapy, a procedure that uses a pacemaker to send electrical impulses to the heart to help it beat in a more coordinated way
9 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Other conduction disorders - Prevention
The best way to prevent other conduction disorders is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. additionally, it is important to avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. certain lifestyle changes, such as avoiding strenuous activities and wearing loose clothing, may also help to reduce the risk of developing other conduction disorders.
