Symptoms of arrhythmia, take it seriously

Arrhythmia is an important group of cardiovascular diseases. It may cause many other breast diseases. It can occur alone or in conjunction with other cardiovascular diseases. But its initial symptoms are not very obvious, and we must pay close attention to it in our daily lives, especially the middle-aged and elderly people. Otherwise it may lead to heart failure or even sudden death.

Clinical manifestations

The clinical manifestations of hemodynamic changes of arrhythmia mainly depend on the nature, type, cardiac function and degree of influence on hemodynamics of the arrhythmia. For example, mild sinus bradycardia, sinus arrhythmia, occasional premature atrial contraction, first-degree atrioventricular block, etc. have little effect on hemodynamics, so there is no obvious clinical manifestation. More serious arrhythmias, such as sick sinus syndrome, rapid atrial fibrillation, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, sustained ventricular tachycardia, etc., can cause palpitations, chest tightness, dizziness, hypotension, sweating, and in severe cases, syncope, Adams-Stokes syndrome, and even sudden death may occur. Due to the different types of arrhythmias, the clinical manifestations vary, mainly including the following manifestations:

1. Symptoms of coronary artery insufficiency

Various arrhythmias can cause a decrease in coronary blood flow. Although various arrhythmias can cause a decrease in coronary blood flow, they rarely cause myocardial ischemia. However, for patients with coronary heart disease, various arrhythmias can induce or aggravate myocardial ischemia, which is mainly manifested as angina pectoris, shortness of breath, peripheral vascular failure, acute heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, etc.

2. Symptoms of cerebral artery insufficiency

Different arrhythmias have different effects on cerebral blood flow. For those with normal cerebrovascular diseases, the above-mentioned hemodynamic disorders will not cause serious consequences. However, if cerebrovascular diseases occur, they will be enough to cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, which will manifest as dizziness, fatigue, blurred vision, temporary blindness, and even transient or permanent brain damage such as aphasia, paralysis, convulsions, and coma.

3. Symptoms of renal artery insufficiency

After arrhythmia occurs, renal blood flow also decreases to varying degrees, with clinical manifestations including oliguria, proteinuria, azotemia, etc.

4. Manifestations of mesenteric artery insufficiency

When rapid arrhythmia occurs, blood flow decreases and mesenteric artery spasms, which can produce clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal ischemia such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and even bleeding, ulcers, or paralysis.

5. Symptoms of heart failure

The main symptoms are cough, difficulty breathing, fatigue, weakness, etc.
