Heart block or as it is commonly known is a condition where a person's heart cannot receive sufficient blood flow to it due to some sort of obstruction
There are a variety of causes of blockage in the human heart. Some of them are congenital heart disease, hyperthyroidism and endocarditis. Heart block usually causes a feeling of discomfort, a pounding sensation or discomfort when one's heart is pumping and also pain on the chest area and sometimes even numbness in the limbs.
Heart block can also be referred to as atrioventricular block (AV block), ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia, and cardiac arrhythmia. People very often experience this condition at any time, but more often during times of illness and stress.
There are a number of symptoms of this condition, the most common of which are increased heart rate, difficulty breathing, irregular heartbeat, and increased heart rate. People with this condition may also experience a tight chest sensation that spreads to the neck and shoulders. Some people may also experience feelings of nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath, and tingling. If left untreated, it can become life-threatening.
The first thing doctors usually do to treat this condition is medical procedures to reduce the amount of oxygen in your body. This should improve your chances of surviving a heart attack or stroke. Some of the medical procedures:
A surgical procedure is done to open the clogged arteries. Artery spasm occurs and the affected area is opened to remove the blockage. Another method involves using a balloon pump to open the clogged arteries using a small vacuum. There are two types of surgery; open heart surgery and open heart surgery.
Patients with this condition may also experience rapid heartbeat. This is when their heart rate increases and sometimes they can feel a throbbing around their chest or even in their fingers. This condition is also known as palpitations.
Patients experience this pain as a result of this blockage, and it usually does not last for a long period of time. However, the pain can be very severe. Sometimes doctors use medications to relieve pain, such as ibuprofen or aspirin.
Heart block can be treated with medication, surgery, diet changes and physical therapy. If left untreated, it may lead to complications like damage to the internal organs and even death.
Medication used for treating this condition can reduce blood flow to the affected area. It is also used to slow down the heart beat. This medication is usually taken on a daily basis. Some doctors will prescribe an anti-arrhythmic drug, to reduce the heart rate and heart palpitations.
This type of medication is used to control the pain associated with heart palpitations. It is usually taken orally in the form of pills or as a suppository. The pill form is usually taken as an infusion under the tongue.
Another surgical procedure is used to open up the blocked artery. This procedure is called open-heart surgery and involves a small balloon pump to open up the blocked arteries by using a small vacuum.
Physical therapy is also used to help people who have heart block. This type of therapy helps to strengthen the muscles and help the heart muscle contractions so that they can work more effectively. They also teach people how to relax and get back to normal life.
There are many people who are aware of the benefits of this type of treatment and that is why there is such a high demand for the treatment for heart attacks. Most doctors agree that if you get help quickly, you can prevent more heart attacks from happening to you.
