Alternation of the Heart

Alternation of the heart.

Heart alternation is a term used in medicine to describe a condition where the heart rate changes from a normal rate to a higher or lower rate. This can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as stress, exercise, alcohol or drug use, and certain heart conditions.

Symptoms of cardiac alternans may include rapid heartbeat, dizziness, weakness, shortness of breath, and chest pain. If these symptoms do not go away within a few minutes, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Treatment of cardiac alternans depends on the cause of its occurrence. In some cases, it is enough to make lifestyle changes, such as reducing stress and exercise, eating right and sleeping. In other cases, medication or surgery may be required.

However, it is important to remember that cardiac alternans can be a sign of more serious heart disease, such as arrhythmia or myocardial infarction. Therefore, if you experience symptoms of cardiac alternans, you should see a doctor for evaluation and treatment.

Cardiac alternation is the ability of some people to change their heart rate from slow and fast to fast and slow, or vice versa. This happens smoothly, without noticeable pain or other signs of coronary heart disease. This transformation can be noticed by tracking 3-4 or more heartbeats, the total duration of which is about 4 minutes. Alternation occurs when, against the background of a normal heart rhythm, one or more QRS waves appear or disappear. In healthy people, in the presence of pulse alternans, cardiac output is lower than in sinus rhythm. Among people with pulse alternans, there are fewer heart patients compared to those whose heart rate is always constant. The presence of alternation also negatively affects patients’ adherence to treatment, the correctness of their diet, as well as the psychophysiological status of a person. If there is a periodic change in rhythm, the patient is recommended to reduce physical activity and perform an ECG in two leads or daily ECG monitoring, in addition,
