Can arrhythmia be cured?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

While medications are used to control abnormal heart rhythms, ablation procedures can cure some types of arrhythmia completely. Once treated, whether through ablation or ongoing medications, most patients with a heart rhythm issue can return to their normal activity levels.

Arrhythmia, an irregular heartbeat, can sometimes be cured depending on its type and cause.

  1. Temporary Arrhythmias: Some resolve on their own or with treatment of an underlying condition.
  2. Medication Management: Certain arrhythmias can be effectively managed with medications that control heart rhythm or rate.
  3. Procedures: Catheter ablation can potentially cure some arrhythmias by targeting the heart tissue causing the abnormal rhythm.
  4. Devices: Pacemakers or implantable defibrillators help control heart rhythm but do not cure the arrhythmia.

Consult a cardiologist for a diagnosis and personalized treatment plan. Early diagnosis and treatment improve outcomes and quality of life.

I'm a bit worried after seeing the results of my 2D ECHO. It mentions "diastolic dysfunction present EA," and I'm not quite sure what that means. Could you explain it to me?

Diastolic dysfunction means that the heart is not able to relax and fill properly during the resting phase of the cardiac cycle. This can lead to problems with the heart's ability to pump blood efficiently. In this case, you may be prescribed medications like ACE inhibitors (e.g. Enalapril) or beta-blockers (e.g. Metoprolol) to help improve heart function. The dosage will depend on your specific condition and needs.

My 14-year-old sister's been having these sharp pains in her left arm and chest. Sometimes her back hurts too, and even her jaw is in pain. I'm really worried about what might be going on. What should I do?

It sounds like your sister may be experiencing symptoms that could be related to a heart issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can give her a tablet of Aspirin 325mg to chew, which can help in case of a heart-related emergency. Encourage her to rest and stay calm while waiting for medical help to arrive.
