Before starting a therapeutic course, it is necessary to find out the factors that provoked a violation of heart contractions. For example, the causes of arrhythmia in a child may lie in a psycho-emotional state – there was a strong fright, the patient is under constant stress, etc. In adults, the cause of arrhythmia can be any internal diseases, but most often this condition – a consequence of the pathology of the cardiovascular system.

Means for the treatment of arrhythmia are selected by the doctor after receiving the results of the patient's examination. First of all, it is necessary to carry out therapy against the disease, which caused a violation of heart contractions. As a rule, with competent treatment, the arrhythmia gradually disappears and the function of the heart muscle is restored.

Treatment of atrial fibrillation requires emergency medical care. This type of heart rhythm disturbances is considered the most dangerous, often leading to sudden cardiac arrest and death of the patient. If the feeling of sudden fluttering of the heart alternates with fainting – this is a reason to immediately call the ""Ambulance"" brigade. The patient should be provided with rest and access to fresh air.

Any medication for ventricular arrhythmia should be prescribed by a doctor on an individual basis. Most often, Verapamil, Bisoprolol, Sotohexal are used. These medications are taken in courses, the duration and frequency of which should be determined by a specialist.

Such actions are called reflex actions. They cannot be used by people over 60 years old, with a history of myocardial infarction and atherosclerosis.

If the patient's condition is severe and the doctors determine a pronounced arrhythmia on the ECG, emergency medical assistance is required. For ventricular tachycardia, Cordaron is administered. Loss of consciousness against the background of bradycardia requires administration of Atropine or Adrenaline.

Even after confirming the diagnosis, the doctor may not prescribe drug therapy, because teenage arrhythmia often disappears without any external efforts.
