Cardiac Arrhythmia (Cardiac Arrhythmia)
is an emergency situation in which the heart beats irregularly. of which the upper two chambers are called the Atria) whichCalled Supraventricular Fibrillation, or in the heart's ventricles (the lower two chambers of the heart are called Ventricles) called Ventricular Fibrillation.
During this time, something happens that the heart does not pump blood in the body, during this time, if the patient is not treated, then reversible brain damage starts after three minutes due to lack of blood supply to the brain, if this period is more than five minutes. If it goes, irreversible brain damage starts, meaning brain cells permanentlydie, this period is much shorter for children.
Meanwhile, CPR is done to recover the patient (You must learn its videos on YouTube) or AED is a machine through which shock is given to the patient, which is the SA node and AV node of the heart (natural heart rhythm). Irregular impulses released from batteries) are restored to normal condition by restarting. During this time, the time is very short, if timely measures are not taken, the patient will expire.
Another way to avoid all this is to implant the patient with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator, which restores the heartbeat of the patient.
Let's know what it is.
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator is a special type of smart device, when it detects a life-threatening arrhythmia, it gives an electric shock to the heart to restore the normal rhythm of the heart, but in the meantime, the patient is not in any kind of shock. He does not feel painImagine it as your heart's own security guard that is there to do its job when the heart needs it.
Who needs an ICD now?
The decision to implant an ICD is made by specialist doctors and is recommended for people who are at high risk of cardiac arrest due to the following conditions
* Have a genetic heart disorder
* Have previously suffered from life-threatening heart arrhythmias
* Have had a heart attack before
* The ability to beat the heart has become too weak
How long an ICD will continue to work depends on the type of battery it is fitted with.Its working life is usually five to seven years. Reduces
