Arrhythmia

Arrhythmia – Irregular Heartbeat Diagnosis & Care in Bangalore

Arrhythmia is a condition where the heart beats too fast, too slow, or irregularly due to disruptions in the heart's electrical signaling system. While some arrhythmias may be harmless, others can lead to serious complications like stroke, heart failure, or sudden cardiac arrest. At our advanced cardiology center in Bangalore, we provide accurate diagnosis and personalized care for all types of heart rhythm disorders.

"Listening to your heart means more than just paying attention to symptoms — early diagnosis of arrhythmia can save your life."

Dr. Basavaraj Utagi, an experienced cardiologist in Bangalore, specializes in the evaluation and management of arrhythmias using advanced cardiac diagnostics like ECG, Holter monitoring, event recorders, and electrophysiology studies. Whether you're experiencing palpitations, dizziness, or fatigue, timely evaluation is key to preventing complications.

Common Types of Arrhythmia

  • Atrial Fibrillation (AFib): Irregular and often rapid heartbeat that increases the risk of stroke.
  • Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT): Episodes of rapid heart rate starting above the ventricles.
  • Bradycardia: Abnormally slow heart rate, often requiring a pacemaker.
  • Ventricular Tachycardia/Fibrillation: Life-threatening arrhythmias originating in the heart’s lower chambers.
  • Premature Beats: Extra or skipped heartbeats that can be benign or indicate underlying rhythm disorders.

Symptoms of Arrhythmia

Common Warning Signs

- Palpitations (racing or fluttering sensation in the chest)
- Dizziness or light-headedness
- Shortness of breath or chest discomfort
- Fainting (syncope) or near-fainting episodes
- Fatigue or poor exercise tolerance

When to Seek Medical Attention

If symptoms occur suddenly, worsen over time, or interfere with daily activities, it's essential to consult a cardiologist or arrhythmia specialist for prompt evaluation and treatment.

Arrhythmia Diagnosis

  • ECG (Electrocardiogram): Captures the heart’s electrical activity and detects abnormal rhythms.
  • Holter Monitor: 24- to 48-hour continuous ECG recording for intermittent arrhythmias.
  • Event Recorders: Used for long-term monitoring in patients with infrequent symptoms.
  • Electrophysiology Study (EPS): A minimally invasive test to map the electrical pathways inside the heart.
