Premature heart beats can be asymptomatic (the patient does not complain about anything). The subject may experience palpitations, a feeling of cardiac "pause". Taking (prolonged) pulse may result in a rhythm that seems irregular. Electrocardiography and laser Doppler imaging [3] allow to visualize premature heart beats. From their appearance ...
shortness of breath, ankle swelling, fatigue, weight gain, palpitations, chest discomfort [1] [2] Duration: short or long term [1] Causes: fast or irregular heart rhythm [1] Risk factors: Prolonged tachycardia [3] [4] Treatment: antiarrythmic agents, diuretics, catheter ablation, pacemaker [1]
If your heart is racing at more than 130 beats per minute for more than 10 minutes, your heart rate is less than 50 beats per minute or if the heartbeat is fast and erratic, then seek immediate ...
The symptoms of SVT include palpitations, feeling of faintness, sweating, shortness of breath, and/or chest pain. [1] These abnormal rhythms start from either the atria or atrioventricular node. [2] They are generally due to one of two mechanisms: re-entry or increased automaticity. [3]
The rhythm of the palpitations may indicate the etiology of the palpitations (irregular palpitations indicate atrial fibrillation as a source of the palpitations).
