Cardiac arrhythmias are heart rhythm disturbances that occur when the heart’s electrical system does not function properly. This abnormality can cause the heart to beat either too fast, too slow, or at an irregular rate. Arrhythmias can be mild and not cause serious symptoms, but in some cases they can be dangerous and lead to cardiac arrest or other serious complications.
Arrhythmias can be caused by many different factors, including:
- Heart Disease
- Electrical Imbalance (Electrolyte Disorders)
- Drugs and Other Substances
- Hypertension or Hypotension
- Stress and Emotional Factors
- Age
- Hormonal Disorders
- Genetic Factors
Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications.
Cardiologist Mr. Hassios Michael, has state-of-the-art equipment in his clinic for the accurate diagnosis of the causes of arrhythmias, knowledge and experience in the management of each condition with specialized medication.
Because some arrhythmias are pharmacodynamic, that is, they are not treated with medication, they cause increasing damage to the heart and the risk of arrest may require the implantation of a pacemaker, defibrillator, biventricular system or even a minimally invasive technique to treat the problem causing the arrhythmia. In this case, the fact that Cardiologist Mr. M. Hassios holds a postgraduate diploma in Interventional Cardiology (with a grade of Excellent), allows him to examine with the patient all possible minimally invasive techniques for the restoration of the affected valve and then, after each invasive technique, to effectively monitor the course of his health.
