The determination of arrhythmia in children, pregnant women and adults requires timely and effective therapy. For each patient, an individually-selected treatment for sinus tachycardia is prescribed, helping to cope with attacks and lead an active lifestyle.

Arrhythmia is a violation of the heart's rhythm, in which there is an increase or decrease in pulse, a change in sinus rhythm. The causes of the disorder can be external (extracardial) and internal (cardiac) factors. The sinus tachycardia is most often the reaction of the body to extracardiac stimuli, which can be infectious diseases, feverish states, increased tone of the sympathetic nervous system, ischemia and heart disease.

In sinus tachycardia, sinus rhythm does not change, so the normal melody of the heart is maintained.

The main symptom of sinus tachycardia is a smooth increase in the heartbeat and the same gradual calming of the heart. In some cases, the diagnosis of sinus tachycardia is put at the doctor's appointment, but often prescribes an electrocardiogram with which to establish the exact form of rhythm disturbance. Clinical prognosis for this disease is favorable, so it is worth considering in more detail the treatment of sinus tachycardia of heart in various modern ways.

General recommendations

For the purpose of effective treatment, the doctor first of all is informed about those diseases already existing in the patient. It can be thyrotoxicosis, hypertonic disease, infectious disease. Also, the presence of coronary heart disease, transmitted myocardial infarction, may indicate a possible cause of tachycardia. Treatment of the underlying disease will help to get rid of arrhythmias as soon as possible.

Benign tachycardia, which is not accompanied by a hemodynamic disorder, does not require specific treatment. When combining organic heart disease with sinus tachycardia, treatment is carried out by a cardiologist, and, if necessary, a doctor of another profile is connected.

There is a list of general guidelines that should be used by each patient undergoing treatment at a cardiologist or observing heart problems. The most important thing is to change the way of life. Start eating right, with the inclusion of useful products for the heart: apples, cabbage, watermelon, carrots, low-fat varieties of fish and meat, flax oil pr.

  • Sinus tachycardia with thyrotoxicosis is treated with the help of the basic preparations in the form of thyreostatics (Mercazolil) and beta-blockers (bisoprolol), which help to normalize the cardiac rhythm. In the presence of contraindications to beta-blockers, calcium antagonists (verapamil) are prescribed.
  • Sinus tachycardia with reduced hemoglobin (anemia) is treated mainly by iron containing preparations (ferrum-lek).Additionally, complex medications from vitamins and trace elements may be prescribed. Patients in this category rarely prescribe antiarrhythmic drugs.
  • Tachycardia is treated with a bleeding stroke and a further appointment of medicines to fill the blood volume in the body with blood loss. It may be a freshly frozen plasma, saline, erythrocyte mass.
  • Sinus tachycardia in combination with organic heart defects requires the use of various cardiac drugs: glycosides, diuretics, antiarrhythmic drugs.
  • If arrhythmia occurs in the context of neurogenic disorders or frequent emotional excitement, then consultation with a psychotherapist, who may, if necessary, use hypnosis treatment or teach the practice of autotraining. It is possible to use sedative means in the form of luminale, relanium.

Surgical treatment of sinus tachycardia

The disease may acquire a malignant course that can not be corrected by medical treatment. To prevent heart failure due to coronary insufficiency, which occurs during prolonged sinus tachycardia, cardiologists are recommended for surgical treatment of arrhythmia.

The main types of surgical therapy for sinus tachycardia:

  • A complete intervention on the heart, expressed in stenting, bypassing, angioplasty of the narrow arteries, as a result of which normal blood flow through the vessels of the heart is restored.
  • Radiofrequency ablation is a modern method of minimally invasive surgical intervention, which consists in burning pathological focuses in the heart.
  • Implantation of a pacemaker is a short-term operation that helps to avoid life-threatening complications associated with the progression of sinus tachycardia.
