心律失常治疗
Depend on the heart rhythm specialists at Community 医院 of the Monterey Peninsula’s Tyler Heart Institute for high-quality, 心律失常专科护理.
什么是心律失常?
An arrhythmia is an irregular or abnormal heart rate. If you have a heart rhythm disorder, your heart may beat too slowly (bradycardia), 太快(心动过速), 或者是一种不寻常的模式. Our skilled cardiologists provide complete care for all types of arrhythmias, including:
- 心房颤动，简称AFib
- 心房扑动
- 房性心动过速
- Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT)
- Premature atrial contractions (PACs)
- Premature ventricular contractions, including epicardial foci
- 室上性心律失常
- 心室纤维性颤动
- 室性心动过速
心律失常的症状
和你的朋友谈谈。 doctor if you experience:
- 焦虑
- 胸痛或压力
- Fast, slow, irregular, or pounding heartbeat, or feeling like your heart is skipping a beat
- Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting (passing out)
- 呼吸急促（气促）
- 疲劳(疲劳)或虚弱
Sometimes, heart rhythm disorders don’t cause any symptoms. Your doctor may instead find a problem with your heartbeat during a routine checkup.
诊断测试和监控
To diagnose an arrhythmia, you’ll have a physical examination. 你的医生也可能会建议:
- 超声心动图
- 心电图(心电图)
- 心脏的映射, also known as 3D electrical mapping of the heart or an electrophysiology (EP) study – Uses a catheter (long, thin tube) and an EKG to record how the heart beats and take detailed photos to find out which part may be causing an arrhythmia
- Holter monitor – Gives you a portable device that connects to the outside of your chest and records your heart rhythm for one to two days
- Event monitor – Uses a small monitoring device to record your heart’s electrical activity when you experience symptoms for up to 30 days
- Implantable loop recorder – Places a heart-monitoring device inside your body to track your heart rhythm for up to three years
我们提供的治疗
Most arrhythmias are harmless, but some can be serious. Count on our knowledgeable cardiologists to fully explain your condition, 回答你的问题, and work with you to develop a care plan that’s best for your heart health and lifestyle. 如果你需要治疗, your cardiologist will explain the potential risks and benefits of different options.
At 蒙太奇的健康, you benefit from the latest and most effective treatments for arrhythmia. Your personalized plan may include:
- Monitoring of your condition with regular, ongoing checkups
- Medications (such as antiarrhythmics, 血液稀释剂, and statins) to control your heart’s rhythm or prevent complications, 比如血凝块
- Minimally invasive procedures or heart surgery to reset or control the heart's rhythm or prevent complications
心律失常治疗
Expect high-quality, patient-centered care before, during, and after your procedure. 我们的专长是:
- Cardiac 消融 – Uses heat to safely destroy the cells causing the arrhythmia
- Cardioversion – Sends electrical signals to the heart through electrodes placed on the chest to restore a normal heart rate
- Implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) placement – Puts a small, battery-powered device in the chest to track and, 在需要的时候, correct your heart rhythm with an electrical pulse
- Maze procedure for atrial fibrillation – Treats the part of the heart causing AFib by creating a new pattern (maze) of pathways for the heart’s electrical activity
- Pacemaker placement – Puts a small device in the body and attaches it to the heart with wires that send electrical signals to control and regulate the heartbeat. 只要有可能, we’ll use the Micra™ leadless pacemaker, which is a smaller piece of technology than other types and can be implanted using less invasive techniques. The device sends data electronically to your care team
- Pacemaker extraction – Removal of a pacemaker
电生理(EP)程序
如果你的心脏病专家建议 电生理(EP)程序 to diagnose or treat your condition, it will take place in our 心导管实验室. The lab is a specialized setting with the technology to perform minimally invasive EP procedures, 包括3D心脏制图, 消融, 复律法, 或放置心脏起搏器或ICD.
