Neonatal cardiac dysrhythmia - what does this mean
Neonatal cardiac dysrhythmia is a type of heartbeat abnormality that occurs in newborn babies. it is caused by an imbalance in the electrical signals that control the heart rate and rhythm, resulting in an irregular, too fast, or too slow heartbeat. it can be caused by genetic factors, structural heart defects, or metabolic disorders.
What happens during the disease - neonatal cardiac dysrhythmia
Neonatal cardiac dysrhythmia is caused by an imbalance of ionic concentrations within the heart, resulting in a disruption of the normal electrical conduction system. this can be caused by genetic abnormalities, electrolyte disturbances, sepsis, hypoxia, or drug toxicity. the resulting dysrhythmia can lead to a decreased cardiac output, decreased oxygen delivery to the body, and even cardiac arrest.
Neonatal cardiac dysrhythmia - Prevention
Neonatal cardiac dysrhythmia can be prevented by ensuring that pregnant mothers receive proper prenatal care, including regular check-ups, healthy diet, exercise, and avoiding smoking and alcohol. additionally, it is important for medical professionals to monitor the fetus for any signs of cardiac dysrhythmia during labor and delivery.
