Correct heart work implies regular ventricular contractions with a frequency of no more than 350 times per minute. Violation of this mechanism in the direction of increasing strokes is called ciliary arrhythmia, the most common type of which is a temporary or paroxysmal form of atrial fibrillation. This disease is not associated with the risk of sudden death syndrome, so it is not considered a dangerous pathology.
Types of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and its symptoms
The characteristic features of the described disease correspond to the reasons for its occurrence. As a rule, temporary fibrillation develops against the background of:
- ischemic syndrome;
- hypertension ;
- tumors and inflammation of the heart;
- vices;
- heart failure.
Often this kind of arrhythmia is asymptomatic, sometimes a person experiences heart palpitations, pain or discomfort behind the sternum, weakness.
The most common diagnosis is the tahisystolic variant of the paroxysmal form of atrial fibrillation, when the frequency of ventricular contractions exceeds 100 strokes in 60 seconds. There are also 2 types of atrial fibrillation:
- Bradisystolic (up to 60 beats per minute);
- normosystolic (from 60 to 100 strokes in 60 seconds).
Treatment with paroxysmal forms of atrial fibrillation
The considered type of disturbance of the heart rhythm is characterized by short attacks, therefore the therapy is carried out not consistently, but symptomatically.
Treatment includes the use of the following drugs:
- Propanorm;
- Quinidine;
- Cordarone;
- Novokainamid.
The last two medicines are also available in the form of solutions for intravenous administration.
With prolonged seizure (more than 48 hours), it is necessary to reduce blood clotting by taking Warfarin .
After arresting an exacerbation and restoring a normal rhythm, antiarrhythmic drugs are prescribed:
- Sotaleks;
- Allapinin;
- Cordarone;
- Propanorm.
In severe cases and inefficiencies of conservative therapy, electrical cardioversion with general anesthesia is used.
Treatment of atrial fibrillation paroxysmal form folk remedies
Atrial fibrillation is undesirable to heal on its own. All drugs,
To prevent attacks of fibrillation, you can drink infusion of calendula.
