An unstable heart beat should be improved with an ECG test that can clarify the type of arrhythmia, and treatment with anti-arrhythmic medication, radiofrequency ablation, or a pacemaker should be given.
An erratic heartbeat is medically called an arrhythmia, and an electrocardiogram should be performed to clarify the type of arrhythmia. A 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) will be performed to understand the rhythm and beating of the heart, to determine whether the arrhythmia is bradyarrhythmia or tachyarrhythmia, and to give the relevant treatment plan.
Tachyarrhythmias, atrial premature beats, ventricular premature beats, and atrial fibrillation are treated with antiarrhythmic medications, such as metoprolol succinate and amiodarone, and radiofrequency ablation is indicated for 24-hour premature beats greater than 10,000 beats. Radiofrequency ablation is an option for patients with atrial fibrillation who do not wish to receive medication.
Slow-type arrhythmias, severe sinus bradycardia with a heart rate of less than 40 beats per minute, sinus arrest greater than three seconds or more, second-degree type II atrioventricular block, and third-degree atrioventricular block may be given pacemaker therapy.
Unstable heart beat, need to go to the hospital to improve the electrocardiogram and dynamic electrocardiogram examination, under the guidance of the doctor to receive treatment.
