Heart rhythm disorders: causes, symptoms and treatment
Your cardiovascular health experts at German Clinic Marbella
Heart rhythm disorders are a common condition that can affect the normal rhythm of the heart. Some of these disorders are harmless, while others can cause serious health problems. At our clinic, we offer accurate diagnosis and personalized therapies to protect your heart health.
Symptoms of heart rhythm disorders
Heart rhythm disorders can manifest themselves in different ways. The most common symptoms include:
- Palpitations or irregular heartbeat
- Slow pulse or irregular heartbeat
- Dizziness, fainting or shortness of breath
- Chest pain and fatigue
If you notice any of these symptoms, you should consider a cardiology consultation.
Diagnostic procedures
To obtain an accurate diagnosis, we use the most advanced examination methods:
- ECG and Holter ECG for cardiac rhythm analysis
- Stress test (ergometry) for evaluation under physical strain
- Echocardiography to assess the structure of the heart
- Electrophysiological studies (EEF) for detailed analysis
These methods help us to identify the cause of the rhythm disorder early and treat it specifically.
Treatment options
Treatment depends on the type of heart rhythm disorder and its cause:
- Medications such as beta-blockers or antiarrhythmic drugs
- Catheter ablation for targeted removal of the focus of the disorder
- Pacemaker or defibrillator (ICD) to regulate heart rhythm
- Electrical cardioversion to restore normal heart rhythm
Our experienced medical team will develop an individualized treatment plan for you.
Prevention and risk factors
Healthy living can prevent many heart rhythm disorders. Recommendations for prevention:
- Regular exercise and a heart-healthy diet
- Avoid excessive consumption of alcohol, nicotine and caffeine.
- Stress management and getting enough sleep
People with hypertension, diabetes, overweight or genetic predisposition are at higher risk.
