• As prophylaxis, to prevent the occurrence of new arrhythmias.

What is irregular heartbeats (Arrhythmias)

The heart is a wonderful organ that pumping blood to every part of your body. Some people have problems with their rhythm, and these can be treated if diagnosed early enough!

The main types of arrhythmia are:

  • atrial fibrillation (AF) – this is the most common type, where the heart beats irregularly and faster than normal
  • supraventricular tachycardia – episodes of abnormally fast heart rate at rest
  • bradycardia – the heart beats more slowly than normal
  • heart block – the heart beats more slowly than normal and can cause people to collapse
  • ventricular fibrillation – a rare, rapid and disorganised rhythm of heartbeats that rapidly leads to loss of consciousness and sudden death if not treated immediately

Arrhythmias can affect all age groups, but atrial fibrillation is more common in older people. Drinking alcohol in excess or being overweight increases your likelihood of developing atrial fibrillation.

Common triggers for an arrhythmia are viral illnesses, alcohol, tobacco, changes in posture, exercise, drinks containing caffeine, certain over-the-counter and prescribed medicines, and illegal recreational drugs.
