Electrocardiogram

An ECG is a non-invasive test that records the electrical signals produced by the heart as it beats. The heart generates electrical impulses that cause the heart muscle to contract and pump blood. These impulses can be detected by electrodes placed on the skin, typically on the chest, arms, and legs. The result is a graphical representation of the heart’s electrical activity.

Treatments for Heart Conditions Detected in ECG

Treatments for heart conditions identified on an ECG are tailored to the specific issue, aiming to restore normal heart function and improve quality of life. For arrhythmias, medications like beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and amiodarone regulate rhythm, while procedures like electrical cardioversion, catheter ablation, and pacemaker implantation may be used to restore or maintain proper heart rate. In cases of heart attacks, treatments include antiplatelet drugs, thrombolytics, angioplasty, and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to restore blood flow. Heart failure is managed with ACE inhibitors, diuretics, and devices like biventricular pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD). Electrolyte imbalances are corrected with supplements and dietary changes. Heart block often requires pacemaker implantation, while pre-surgery and post-surgery monitoring with ECG help detect arrhythmias. Lifestyle modifications like a healthy diet, exercise, and stress management are essential for long-term heart health, ensuring effective treatment and prevention of complications.

Surgery for Heart Conditions Detected by ECG

Surgical interventions for heart conditions detected by an ECG are essential when other treatments, like medications or lifestyle changes, are insufficient. Common surgeries include Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) for blocked arteries, coronary angioplasty with stent placement to restore blood flow, and valve surgery for damaged heart valves. For septal defects (ASD/VSD), surgery can close the holes in the heart, restoring normal blood flow. Pacemaker or ICD implantation may be necessary for abnormal heart rhythms.

Additionally, aortic aneurysm surgery and the Maze procedure for atrial fibrillation may be performed based on the ECG findings.Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly used for certain heart surgeries, offering quicker recovery and less pain. These procedures, including robotic-assisted or endoscopic methods, have lower infection risks and are less disruptive to the body. The appropriate surgery depends on the ECG results, patient health, and the severity of the condition.
