The severity of arrhythmia generally needs to be judged according to the symptoms, heart rate, type of arrhythmia, comorbid diseases, etc. If the patient’s heart rate is >100 beats/min or <50 beats/min, ECG suggests atrial fibrillation, high degree of atrioventricular block, etc., accompanied by hemodynamic disorders or comorbid cardiac diseases, it is serious; if the heart rate is normal, it is premature beats, etc., and the hemodynamics is stable, it is generally not serious.
1. More serious: If the patient’s heart rate is persistently over 100 beats/min or less than 50 beats/min, and the ECG suggests atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, high degree of atrioventricular block, etc., accompanied by obvious hemodynamic disorders such as syncope, hypotension, heart failure, etc., or the combination of coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, and other heart diseases, it is more serious and requires emergency treatment, which attracts high attention.
2. Not serious: If the patient’s heart rate is within the normal range, 60~100 beats/min, ECG suggests atrial premature beats, ventricular premature beats, bundle branch block, etc., the patient’s hemodynamics is stable, there is no low blood pressure, syncope and other symptoms, there is no combination of acute myocardial infarction, heart failure and other serious cardiovascular diseases, etc., it is not generally a critical condition, and can be postponed for treatment.
If the patient develops arrhythmia, it is recommended to go to the hospital as early as possible, and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment under the doctor’s evaluation.
