Tachycardia is a pathological increase in heart rate, in which the source of excitation may be located in the sinus node, in the atrium, ventricle or interventricular septum. The causes of increased heart rate are often included in cardiac pathologies, hormonal disorders, autonomic nervous system failures, etc.
For the normalization of the heart rhythm, medicamental treatment is performed, with medications for heart tachycardia appointed depending on its type, severity, and associated pathologies. The patient's individual reaction to a given drug is also taken into account. What exactly to take with tachycardia of the heart, what list of medicines is needed to slow down the heartbeat and its control, can only be determined by the attending physician after the diagnosis.
Preparations for the treatment of tachycardia
Typically, a list of recommended medications for tachycardia at normal pressure includes sedative drugs, as well as anti-arrhythmic drugs. If tachycardia accompanies increased blood pressure, it also selects drugs for hypertension.
Assignable sedatives are divided into two groups:
- Vegetable origin (preparations based on valerian, motherwort, hawthorn , peony and other plants in the form of tinctures, tablets, dragees).
- On a synthetic basis (preparations Diazepam, Phenobarbital).
Of antiarrhythmic drugs with tachycardia are usually recommended:
- Cardioselective beta-blockers (Concor, Bisoprolol, Breviblok, Atenolol).
- Blockers of calcium channels (Amiodarone, Cordarone, Verapamil).
Diarrhea is often prescribed for hypertension, for example:
- Hydrochlorothiazide;
- Furosemide.
Also, a number of other drugs can be prescribed to treat diseases that cause heart palpitations, depending on the type and severity of the pathology.
