Disease description:
What should I do if my heart is beating too slowly?
It is recommended that the patient first undergo a comprehensive cardiovascular evaluation, including electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiography, to establish an accurate diagnosis. Based on the patient's specific condition, the following treatment options may be considered:
1. Medication: Under medical supervision, drug therapy can effectively enhance cardiac contractility and heart rate, thereby improving heart function.
2. Pacemaker implantation: For patients with severe bradycardia, implantation of a cardiac pacemaker can help regulate heart rate and ensure normal cardiac rhythm.
3. Radiofrequency catheter ablation: This procedure can interrupt the sinoatrial node nerves via radiofrequency ablation to restore normal heart rate.
