Sinoauricular block

Sinoauricular block is a violation of the conduction of impulses from the sinoatrial node to the atria. At the same time, normally the pacemaker of the heart - the sinoatrial node - generates electrical impulses that must spread through the atria, causing them to contract. However, with sinoauricular block, these impulses are not properly conducted from the sinoatrial node to the atrial myocardium.

The result is an irregular heart rhythm due to the fact that the atria contract late or asynchronously. Clinically, this is manifested by episodes of arrhythmia, weakness, dizziness, and shortness of breath. The diagnosis is made based on ECG data. Treatment depends on the degree of rhythm disturbance and includes drug therapy or implantation of a pacemaker. The prognosis can be serious with severe forms of blockade due to the risk of cardiac arrest.

The procedure is painless and is most often used to combat palpitations. As a result of sinoauricular blockade, the heart rate slows down at rest or during physical activity.

Indications for the procedure may be: * bradycardia. This condition is not normal when, as the medical encyclopedia says, the heart rate is less than 60 beats per minute; * hypertension. Excessive pressure leads to changes in the cardiovascular system, which may be evidenced by bradycardia; * migraine-like headache. A problem that patients cannot cope with without the use of medications. The essential type of migraine is also an indication for the manipulation in question; * panic attacks.
