Arrhythmias – Irregular Heartbeat Diagnosis & Treatment at Cosmic Heart Institute

Arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms that occur when the heart beats too fast, too slow, or irregularly. Normally, the heart beats in a consistent rhythm to ensure proper blood circulation. However, when the electrical signals controlling the heartbeat do not function correctly, it can lead to various types of arrhythmias. Some arrhythmias are harmless, while others can be life-threatening and may require immediate medical attention.

With modern technology, a highly experienced cardiology team, and round-the-clock emergency support, the hospital provides world-class arrhythmia management and heart care services.

What Are Arrhythmias?

Arrhythmias are problems related to the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat. The heart may beat:

  • Too fast (Tachycardia)
  • Too slow (Bradycardia)
  • Irregularly or with skipped beats

Major types of arrhythmias include:

  • Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)
  • Ventricular Tachycardia (VT)
  • Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
  • Ventricular Fibrillation (VF)
  • Premature Atrial or Ventricular Contractions (PAC/PVC)
  • Heart Block (Electrical signal delay)

FAQs

What is angioplasty?

Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that opens blocked heart arteries using a balloon and often a stent, restoring normal blood flow to the heart.

How long does angioplasty take?

Typically, angioplasty takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the number of blockages and the patient's condition.

Is angioplasty painful?

Patients usually feel minimal discomfort because the procedure is done under local anesthesia. Most people experience only slight pressure during balloon inflation.

How long is the recovery after angioplasty?

Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days. Complete recovery may take one week, depending on overall health.

Is angioplasty safe?

Yes, angioplasty is considered very safe, especially when performed by experienced cardiologists. Complications are rare and usually manageable.
