Designed as one of the most advanced facilities of its kind in the region, the Aster Heart Rhythm Centre will ensure timely diagnosis and precise treatment for various disorders related to heart rhythms. Heart arrhythmia treatment includes medications, catheter procedures, implanted devices or surgery to control or eliminate fast, slow or irregular heartbeats. Heart arrhythmias may feel like a fluttering or racing heart and may be harmless. However, some heart arrhythmias may cause bothersome - sometimes even life-threatening - signs and symptoms.
"Heart rhythm abnormalities are increasing in society, especially with increasing longevity. An expert doctor can find out a heart rhythm disorder on examination. Signs and symptoms of arrhythmias includes fluttering in the chest, racing heartbeat (tachycardia), slow heartbeat (bradycardia), chest pain and shortness of breath. General symptoms for heart rhythm disorders are anxiety, fatigue, lightheadedness, or dizziness, sweating, fainting (syncope) or near fainting etc. A type of arrhythmia called Ventricular Fibrillation can even cause sudden death. A person may collapse within seconds and soon the person's breathing and pulse will stop. More common is a rhythm called Atrial Fibrillation which can cause strokes. The Aster Heart Rhythm Centre is fully equipped to treat and even provide a permanent cure for such conditions," said Dr Anil Kumar R, Lead Senior Consultant, Cardiac Sciences, Aster Medcity.
