Do atrial escape rhythms need treatment?

When sinus impulse conduction is inhibited (e.g., when sinus bradycardia, sinus block, sinus arrest), the atrial potential pacing point can control the atria and produce atrial escape beats, and three or more consecutive atrial escape beats constitute an atrial escape rhythm. It is a physiologic protective mechanism and most often requires treatment for the primary cause. The cause may be acute myocardial infarction, acute rheumatic fever, severe respiratory failure, etc., chest tightness, panic, dyspnea, precordial pain and other symptoms, need to be directed to the different causes of the disease, and comply with the doctor’s instructions to actively treat the primary cause, with the improvement of the primary cause of the disease, the arrhythmia can be relieved, and in some patients the arrhythmia can not be relieved, and need to be installed with a pacemaker treatment. Sinus bradycardia or sinus arrest in some patients may be related to the degeneration of the sinus node function. Atrial escape beats are characterized by unstable rhythms, slow heart rates, or dizziness, blackness, blurred vision, or even fainting, which require the installation of a pacemaker. If atrial escape rhythm occurs, please consult the hospital in time, actively search for the primary disease causing atrial escape rhythm and atrial escape rhythm, actively treat the primary cause of the disease, and install a pacemaker if necessary, in order to avoid the adverse consequences.
