State-of-the-art arrhythmia treatment
Depending on the type and severity of the arrhythmia, there are a range of treatment options. Lehigh Regional Medical Center provides comprehensive arrhythmia treatment, from lifestyle-modification assistance to highly complex surgical treatment:
- Lifestyle modification and medical management – Stress, caffeine, alcohol or other substances can contribute to arrhythmias. Lehigh Regional Medical Center provides education and resources to help you adopt healthier lifestyle habits to eliminate arrhythmias. When lifestyle changes are insufficient, arrhythmia specialists can develop a treatment plan using medications.
- Cardioversion – Fast arrhythmias are treated by delivering an electrical shock to the heart, utilizing an ECG monitor and a defibrillator.
- Implantable devices – Placed just under the skin, small devices are used to send electrical signals to the heart to regulate heartbeat. A pacemaker is used to regulate a slow heartbeat, and a cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is used to regulate a fast heartbeat (defibrillation).
