Arrhythmia can be asymptomatic or with various clinical manifestations such as: • palpitations with an accelerated or slowed rhythm, regular or irregular, accompanied by unpleasant sensations or even a feeling of imminent death • dizziness or short-term loss of consciousness (syncope) due to low cardiac output • chest pain, angina especially in the case of fast-paced arrhythmias that increase oxygen demand over intake (often associated with coronary artery disease) • signs of decompensated heart failure or even sudden death in the event of an acute myocardial infarction or life-threatening arrhythmias Arrhythmogenic factors - very important to identify, so that you can treat them D. drugs la ischemia S. sympathotonus H. hypoxia E. electrolitic disturbances S. stretch Investigation of arrhythmias • ECG- the best investigation for the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias; • rhythm strips- longer routes on one or more derivations (choose the most eloquent derivation); • Holter ECG over 24-48 hours or up to 2 weeks and recording symptoms in a diary to correlate with the ECG recording; • ambulatory monitor which registers a derivation, usually precordial; • event monitor which records about 5 minutes at the request of the patient when he has symptoms; can be implanted subcutaneously for a longer period (one year).
