Features: With one registered letter fee, invite authoritative experts; Comprehensively understand the condition and provide multi-faceted care for health! This book provides an in-depth yet accessible explanation of the causes, classification, clinical manifestations, new diagnostic techniques, treatment (including drug therapy and the application of new therapies such as radiofrequency ablation and implantation of pacemakers), and prevention (self-care) of arrhythmias. The book specifically highlights which arrhythmias do not require treatment and which must be treated, as otherwise they can affect cardiac hemodynamics and blood supply to vital organs, with severe cases posing a life-threatening risk. Among rapid arrhythmias, frequent atrial premature beats in bigeminy or polymorphism, paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia, frequent ventricular premature beats in bigeminy or polymorphism, especially when R waves overlap on the T wave of the preceding cardiac cycle, can trigger ventricular tachycardia, even ventricular fibrillation, and occasionally sudden cardiac arrest. In slow arrhythmias, such as sick sinus syndrome and complete atrioventricular block, can lead to syncope or even sudden cardiac arrest, requiring timely medical attention. This book adopts a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, including a chapter on "Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnosis and Treatment of Arrhythmias," providing a comprehensive and systematic treatment approach for arrhythmia patients. In addition to being suitable for general medical professionals, this book is also convenient for patients and their families to carry and refer to, serving as an excellent teaching material for readers to correctly understand arrhythmias.
