What is the cause of arrhythmia in the baby?

Infant arrhythmias are divided into physiological and pathological. Physiological arrhythmias are mainly seen in various infectious diseases of infants, such as pneumonia, sepsis, upper respiratory tract infection, intestinal infection, etc. Pathological arrhythmias are mainly recommended for various organic heart diseases, such as congenital heart disease, viral myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, etc.

Causes include: symptoms caused by heart disease; It is necessary to consider whether it is due to congenital heart disease; It may be an intrinsic or external factor, arrhythmias are a common symptom of heart disease; It can also be caused by some extracardiac factors, such as infection, drug poisoning such as digitalis, excessive use of catecholamine drugs, hypokalemia, metabolic acidosis, hypoxemia, and cardiac catheterization.

Baby arrhythmias can be some congenital heart conditions. A thorough examination is required to rule out**. It may also be related to the baby's diet. Elephant in the room.

It may be because the baby's heart itself has problems, or because the baby has cardiomyopathy, or because the baby has taken some expired drugs, or the function of the nerves is unstable, which will cause the baby's arrhythmia.

It is usually caused by fatigue, nervousness, and autonomic instability. However, pathological diseases, such as myocarditis, congenital heart disease or rheumatic heart disease, are also common causes of arrhythmia in babies.

The normal heartbeat of children is higher than that of adults, and humans have the fastest heartbeat during the neonatal period, and then the heart rate gradually slows down as they get older. Also, when a person is in different activity states like irritability, excitement, quietness, falling asleep, etc., they have different heart rates.

If the heart rate is increased due to physiological factors, it will not have serious consequences, but in children with myocarditis or arrhythmias, the increased heart rate caused by it needs to be treated promptly.

Clinically, according to the heart rate of the 24-hour Holter ECG and the performance of the ECG, it is seen whether it originates from the normal sinus node, and then the comprehensive evaluation is normal.

The main cause of arrhythmia in babies may be congenital heart disease. It may also be due to genetics, or insufficient nutrient intake during pregnancy. If the arrhythmia is more severe, surgical intervention is required, and the diagnosis of the thoracic surgeon can only be confirmed.

Arrhythmias are likely to be related to your child's heart development. After the disease is detected, parents should actively give their children a follow-up**. Avoid more serious complications.

This is related to genetic reasons, related to the development of the child, may be due to symptoms problems, related to growth, and related to pregnant women.

It may be related to the child's emotional and physical health, or it should go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.

It is likely to be due to genetic factors, or because of the factors of the living environment, or because of special competition, or because of the usual irregular diet, and the emotional ups and downs are relatively large. If you are in a situation, you should go to the hospital for medical attention in time.

Clinically significant, most of them do not have structural heart disease. Healthy children with an atrioventricular bypass (normal surface ECG or preexcitation syndrome) or a dual path of the atrioventricular node may induce supraventricular tachycardia due to premature beating. Fetuses, neonates, and young infants may also have immature cardiac conduction systems.

Rarely, it is seen in infection, structural heart disease, asphyxia, hypoxia, acidosis, electrolyte disturbances, drug effects (eg, digitalis, sympathetic stimulants, anesthetics, etc.), hyperthyroidism. The younger you are, the faster your heart rate and the longer your attacks, the more likely you are to develop heart failure.

Bradyheart rate without tachyarrhythmia can be used to increase the heart rate with atropine, isoproterenol, etc. (see AV block for usage). Brady-fast syndrome should be used with caution to avoid inducing tachyarrhythmias. If severe bradycardia is accompanied by recurrent episodes of A-S syndrome, uncontrolled heart failure, or brady-brachytherapy syndrome, an artificial pacemaker should be installed if the drug is ineffective.

Pediatric arrhythmia refers to tachycardia or bradycardia caused by a variety of reasons, which is usually divided into sinus arrhythmia, migratory arrhythmia, sinus atrial block, sinus quiescence, etc. It may be caused by fatigue, nervousness, instability of autonomic nervous function, or due to pathological factors such as myocarditis, congenital heart disease, etc. It can be used by non-pharmacological **, such as shock cardioversion, electrical room, etc.

Emotional reasons

There are many causes of arrhythmias, but one of the most common is oneBad mood caused by arrhythmiasIf a person is often angry or angry, then this kind of person will often have arrhythmia when doing an electrocardiogram. However, if the mood is stabilized, the arrhythmia will gradually be relieved, or even disappear completely.

Therefore, for people who usually have a bad heart, they must pay attention to alleviating their bad emotions and never get angry, otherwise there is a fatal risk.

Causes of structural heart disease

From a medical point of view, basically all the clinical onesStructural heart disease is accompanied by varying degrees of arrhythmiasFor example, the most common coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, pericarditis, congenital heart disease, etc., are all caused by arrhythmias. If the heart is not healthy, then the sinus atrial and conduction system of the heart will be violated, which will directly affect the heart rate problem.

Causes of acid-base imbalance

If a person is in the bodyElectrolytes decrease or acid-base balance is gradually out of balance, which can also cause arrhythmias.

In addition, if the blood pressure is relatively low, it will directly lead to ventricular arrhythmia, or ventricular fibrillation. For people with acidosis, harmful substances will have a certain impact on the heart muscle, and finally cause the heart muscle to contract normally, and in mild cases, arrhythmia, severe cases will lead to cardiac arrest.

For people with high blood pressure or low blood calcium, the myocardial contractility of the heart will gradually weaken, and if the contractility of the myocardium is weakened, it will affect the beating of the heart, and arrhythmia has become a relatively common phenomenon.

Causes of the drug's action

If the heart is usually very healthy and there is no abnormality, then you should also consider whether it is because other drugs you take in your daily life contain some adverse reactions, for example, sleeping pills also have ingredients that affect heart contraction, once you eat too many sleeping pills, it will cause very serious arrhythmia.

For the most partFor patients with arrhythmias, they are completely unperceptibleMany people are found to have arrhythmias because of other heart discomforts, and after 24 hours of electrocardiogram monitoring at the hospital.

But early arrhythmias are usually presentPremature beats, tachycardia, bradycardia or ventricular fibrillationIf this happens, you should go to the hospital in time to do a 24-hour ECG monitoring, so as to further judge whether you really suffer from arrhythmia, and do not blindly judge yourself at home, otherwise it will cause very serious consequences.

Irregular diet, often eating food with heavy oil and salt, not exercising in time, often sedentary, irregular work and rest; I think the situation can be judged for yourself.

What is a fetal arrhythmia? Does fetal arrhythmia matter? What to do about the baby's heart pounding? Let's take a look at fetal arrhythmias.

Pregnant mother Xiaomei has dates and a little panic, just now, she was told when she listened to the fetal heart rate during the outpatient obstetric examination that the baby's heartbeat rhythm and frequency were a little chaotic, which may be fetal arrhythmia.

After waiting for a round of examinations, Xiaomei couldn't wait to return to the obstetric clinic, she had a series of questions to ask the doctor:

What does fetal arrhythmia mean?

Is this serious?

What are the effects on the baby?

Can it be cured?

What is a fetal arrhythmia.

In general, the fetal heart conduction system is basically mature by 16 weeks of gestation, that is, after 16 weeks, a regular heart rhythm and heart rate are produced.

The normal fetal heart rate range is 110-160 beats.

Fetal arrhythmia refers to the irregular rhythm of the fetal heart or the fetal heart rate outside the normal range when there are no contractions, such as fetal tachycardia, bradycardia, atrial premature contractions, ventricular premature contractions and arrhythmias.

Fetal arrhythmias may exist alone or in combination with structural abnormalities of the heart, such as cardiomegaly, hydrops fetalis, and heart failure.

According to statistics, fetal arrhythmias are present in 1%-2% of pregnancies.

How to detect it in time?

Do you have any symptoms?

Fetal arrhythmias generally do not have special manifestations, and many pregnant women do not feel anything on their own.

A small number of pregnant women who are found to have fetal arrhythmias are found to be found because they feel that the fetal movement is abnormal.

Most pregnant women find fetal arrhythmias during routine prenatal check-ups, fetal heart rate monitoring, or ultrasonography.

Therefore, it is very important to have a regular obstetric examination during pregnancy, and for the health and safety of you and your baby, pregnant mothers must have a regular obstetric examination.

What should I do if I find a fetal arrhythmia?

Once the fetus is found to have arrhythmia, the pregnant mother should not panic.

Most fetal arrhythmias are transient and do not need to be treated as long as they are followed up regularly and closely in the outpatient clinic under the guidance of a doctor.

However, about 10% of severe fetal brachyor or bradycardiac arrhythmias occur.

If the condition persists or progresses, fetal heart failure, edema, and even premature birth and death can occur.

This requires aggressive interventions such as medications**, intrautero** and the right timing of delivery.

Currently, ultrasonography is the best way to evaluate fetal arrhythmias.

Fetal ultrasound can examine the structure and function of the fetal heart and help determine the nature of the fetal arrhythmia.

Used to diagnose specific arrhythmias, assess cardiac anatomy and function, and look for signs of hydrops fetalis.

Because arrhythmias may be associated with congenital heart disease, fetal cardiac anatomy should be carefully evaluated.
