Atrioventricular block is a type of arrhythmia in which electrical signals from the central atrium are not transmitted to the ventricles properly, causing the heart's pumping function to be affected. Understanding the symptoms, causes, and methods of atrioventricular block is essential to maintaining heart health.
1. Symptoms of atrioventricular block.
Symptoms of AV block vary from individual to individual, but common symptoms include:
1. Palpitations: Patients will feel that the heart beats faster or irregularly, and sometimes the heart suddenly stops beating.
2. Fatigue: Because the heart cannot pump blood effectively, other parts of the body do not get enough oxygen and nutrients, resulting in fatigue.
3. Dizziness: Due to insufficient pumping of the heart, the brain does not get enough blood**, resulting in dizziness.
4. Chest pain: Chest pain may be caused by myocardial ischemia.
5. Syncope: In severe cases, atrioventricular block may lead to syncope.
2. Causes of atrioventricular block.
There are many causes of atrioventricular block, including:
1. Myocarditis: Myocarditis is a common myocardial disease that may lead to atrioventricular block.
2. Coronary heart disease: Coronary heart disease is caused by narrowing or blocking of coronary arteries, which may lead to myocardial ischemia and atrioventricular block.
3. Myocardial hypertrophy: Myocardial hypertrophy is a common myocardial disease, which may lead to impaired cardiac electrical signal transmission and atrioventricular block.
4. Other heart diseases: Other heart diseases such as hypertension and pericarditis may also lead to atrioventricular block.
5. Drugs*** Some drugs may cause abnormal cardiac electrical signals, which can cause atrioventricular block.
6. Cardiac surgery: Cardiac surgery may cause damage to the heart's electrical signaling system, resulting in atrioventricular block.
7. Congenital heart disease: Congenital heart disease may lead to abnormalities in the heart's electrical signaling system, causing atrioventricular block.
3. The best method of atrioventricular block.
*Methods of atrioventricular block vary from individual to individual, but common methods include:
1. Drug**: Drug** is one of the common methods of atrioventricular block. Medications can improve heart muscle function and relieve symptoms. Common medications include anti-arrhythmic drugs and inotropes.
2. Lifestyle changes: Patients should maintain good lifestyle habits, including quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, maintaining an appropriate weight, and regular work and rest. At the same time, the influence of negative emotions such as overwork and mental stress should be avoided.
