Tablets and drugs for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmia. Potassium channel blockers

Arrhythmia refers to large group coronary diseases, which are characterized by coronary rhythm disturbances. In most cases, arrhythmia accompanies other diseases, such as myocardial infarction, tachycardia, etc. Before prescribing antiarrhythmic drugs, the doctor conducts comprehensive examination to find out if there is anything else behind the arrhythmia.

Pathogenesis and symptoms

Most often, arrhythmia occurs due to metabolic disorders in the heart cells or in the extracellular environment. These may be disturbances in the ratio of potassium, sodium and magnesium ions. For example, an excess of potassium ions leads to bracardia, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation; deficiency - to extrasystoles and tachycardias.

All this impairs the conductivity of myocardial tissue, which causes painful sensations V chest and areas of the heart, and high potassium concentrations are fatal.

Arrhythmias may be accompanied by the following coronary diseases:

sinus and paroxysmal tachycardia: felt as an increase in rhythm, accompanied by weakness, a feeling of lack of air and pain in the sternum, fainting states, sweating, dizziness;
extrasystole: there is a feeling of interruptions in the work of the heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, pain.

In addition, arrhythmia can be caused by psychotic diseases autonomic system, occur as a result of severe nervous shock, due to lack of sleep or physical fatigue.

Medications

Before prescribing a course of treatment, the doctor must identify the causes of arrhythmia. If coronary rhythm disturbances are caused by psycho-emotional shocks or failures of the autonomic system, sedatives are prescribed. If the problem lies in organic damage to the heart and the patient urgently requires hospitalization, use tranquilizers. To treat arrhythmia, antiarrhythmic drugs should be taken.

Sedatives can be taken without a prescription to prevent arrhythmic attacks. However, we should not forget about dosages.

Sedative (calming) medications can be taken either as prescribed by a doctor or to prevent heart disease, improve sleep, and relieve nervous tension. They have been used for a long time and do not cause drowsiness, ataxia or addiction. Their moderate calming effect enhances the process of inhibition of the nervous system, reducing general excitability and nervousness.

These include combined tinctures or tablets based on medicinal fees, barbiturates and bromides.

Preparations containing valerian and motherwort should be taken in the form of a tincture of 20-30 drops per dose. They are often prescribed to service workers, students and schoolchildren during exam periods. However, attention should be paid to individual reactions. If taking sedative herbal medications causes your health to deteriorate, they should be discontinued.

Consider the composition of sedatives medicines on herbs in more detail.

Antares 120 is available in tablet form and contains intoxicating pepper rhizome extract (or kava kava). Take 1-2 tablets.

Altalex is a mixture peppermint, eucalyptus, lavender, fennel, thyme, cinnamon, sage, essential oils lemon balm. Available in the form of a concentrated essence, which must be added to hot tea 10-20 drops.

Corvalol - traditional depressant our mothers and grandmothers. Contains phenobarbital and peppermint oil. Drink no more than 30 drops, no more than 3 times a day.

Tranquilizers

In cases where patients have individual intolerance antiarrhythmic drugs, tranquilizers are prescribed. They are used for atrial fibrillation, to restore heart rhythm and in situations where the patient needs to quickly equalize heartbeat. In addition to sedation, tranquilizers have a hypotensive effect, reduce the heart rate if the patient has a tendency to tachycardia, and have a vasodilator effect.

Daily doses of tranquilizers are prescribed individually and only after a thorough examination by a doctor. Do not take these medications without a prescription!

Tranquilizers include the following drugs:

diazepam;
Xanax;
seduxen;
medazepam;
grandaxin;
phenazepam;
Elenium.

In cases where arrhythmias are accompanied by organic heart damage, treatment of the underlying coronary disease is prescribed. Often such treatment reduces the manifestation of the disease even without the use of tranquilizers.

For example, if arrhythmias are caused by coronary heart disease, antianginal medications are included in the course of treatment. In addition, the doctor must take into account the results of the patient’s lipid metabolism and, if necessary, adjust this indicator with medication.

Antiarrhythmic drugs

This group is prescribed to treat arrhythmia, and not to reduce the frequency of attacks or relieve pain. They have a beneficial effect on the properties of myocardial muscle cells, improving their conductivity and having a beneficial effect on metabolic processes.

These include:

ajmaline (reduces myocardial excitability, prescribed for the prevention of arrhythmia, tachycardia and extrasystole);
rhythmylene (it also includes rhythmodan and corapace);
procainamide;
quinidine;
pulse norm;
lidocaine (in addition to the anesthetic has antiarrhythmic effect, used as local anesthesia);
allapinin (used when arrhythmia is caused by excess sodium ions);
etacizin;
etmozin;
rhythmnorm.

This article does not provide dosages of tranquilizer and antiarrhythmic drugs, since they should be taken only after prescription by the attending physician and under his strict supervision.

In cases where acceptance antiarrhythmic drugs causes pain or discomfort in the chest in patients, the problem should be immediately discussed with the doctor, but in no case should you stop the course of treatment without permission.

Homeopathic remedies

Arrhythmia, like other heart diseases, is often associated with disruption of metabolic processes in tissues or the deposition of cholesterol on the walls of blood vessels. To treat and prevent this group of diseases, you can take the following medications:

tincture of valerian - to relieve heart neurosis and nervous excitement. Take 15 drops per dose 3 times a day (in the evening you can increase the dosage to 25 drops);
Nervohel - for the treatment of increased excitability, climacteric neuroses, depression, cardioneurosis. Dissolve 1 tablet 3 times a day;
kralonin - prescribed for cardioneurosis, after myocardial infarction and for “senile” heart. Take 15 drops 3 times a day.

In addition to these drugs, patients with various diseases hearts are advised to consume 1 teaspoon of honey per day, to include apricots (fresh and dried), grapes, raspberries and all varieties of currants in the diet. These products not only saturate tissues with active ions, but also reduce the formation of cholesterol on the walls of blood vessels.

Arrhythmia is a process of disruption normal operation rhythmicity (frequency) of heart contraction, slowing down of beats or, on the contrary, increasing the frequency of beats.

We will explain to you in detail how to competently use healing, which will involve folk remedies for cardiac arrhythmia.
When your body is in a state of stability and complete rest, the reduction in the heart rate of your heart should be maintained within the norm of 60-80 rhythmic beats per 60 seconds of time. In people oldest age, the norm is usually quoted within 80 strokes, and for athletes it is closer to the lower figure. If suddenly your pulse becomes less than 50 beats, or more than 110 beats, then you need to dial an ambulance in your hometown.

Heart disease ranks first and affects people's lives more than any other disease. It has long been proven that, especially in our time, usually every fifth person is affected by arrhythmia, seemingly quite healthy man on our planet. Due to the dismal prognosis, you must learn how to treat arrhythmia folk remedies.

First, let's look at the types of arrhythmia.

Bradycardia - this is when the heart beats 60 times in a stable, calm state and even fewer beats after 60 seconds. When physical or even emotional stress is placed on your body, your pulse during bradycardia can be 45 times for a full 60 seconds. ()
IMPORTANT! Symptoms include weakness, fainting, cold sweat, and pain in the area of your heart.

Tachycardia- this is when the heart beats 90 and even more beats in a stable, calm state in 60 seconds.
IMPORTANT! Symptoms include heaviness in the area of your heart, persistent palpitations, a feeling as if you are a little short of air, weakness sets in, a drop in appetite and even mood, shortness of breath.

Extrasystole - this is a disturbance in the heart rhythm, which is characterized by contraction in the heart, and at other times it can occur in its individual parts.
IMPORTANT! Symptoms include a strong shock (or shocks) in the heart, or, conversely, a feeling of cardiac arrest, a feeling of lack of inhalation of air.

Atrial fibrillation – a more common arrhythmia, in which there is a disruption in the rhythm of the heart, accompanied by various (chaotic) excitations, and contractions of the atria also occur.
IMPORTANT! The symptoms that occur are completely individual for everyone. Some people experience a more rapid heartbeat, which increases significantly when the body is tense. Also accompanied by pain in the heart with various interruptions.

Before the beginning home treatment Consultation with the treating cardiologist is recommended.

Arrhythmia is one of the most common heart diseases. Everyone who has encountered it is concerned about the question of what to take for arrhythmia, how to help the heart and improve the quality of life. Arrhythmia is a disturbance in the frequency and rhythm of organ contractions.

The main goal of treatment is a set of measures related to strengthening the heart muscle, dilating blood vessels and limiting the influence of negative factors.

After diagnosis

If you are concerned about irregular heart rhythm, you need to undergo medical examinations: ECG, echocardiography and Holter ECG. Only based on an examination of the patient and diagnostic results, a cardiologist will be able to prescribe a course of treatment for a disease such as arrhythmia. There are many causes and types of rhythm disturbances.

Arrhythmia can be congenital or acquired, arising as a result of various unfavorable factors. Its types: bradycardia, tachycardia, extrasystole and atrial fibrillation. Therefore, they take pills for this pathology only as prescribed by a doctor.

Treatment of cardiac arrhythmia is based on reducing the signs of the disorder, eliminating its consequences or complications, as well as improving the quality of life. It is necessary to consider how to treat cardiac arrhythmia: with medications, diet or alternative methods.

H Most often, doctors prescribe medications to treat arrhythmia. The cause of the condition may be:

hypertension;
congenital and acquired heart defects;
diabetes;
brain injuries;
thyroid diseases;
frequent stress;
alcohol abuse.

Therefore, there is no treatment for this disease that is the same for everyone.

Only a doctor can determine which better remedy prescribe and what to drink for a patient with arrhythmia.

Pledge successful treatment pathology is in effective and long-term therapy, eliminating the cause that caused it.

Tachycardia, extrasystole and bradycardia

T achycardia usually causes the following symptoms: feeling of interruptions, shortness of breath, “failures” in the work of the heart, dizziness. The best pills- these are those that cause few side effects and help well. The most popular: Atenolol, Verapamil, Concor, Propranolol, Cordarone, Amlodipine.

Signs of illness with frequent or group extrasystoles: increased heartbeat, fatigue, shortness of breath and muscle weakness. Usually prescribed are Cordarone, Verapomil, Metoprolol, Atenalol, etc.

Long-term use of antiarrhythmic therapy in patients with ventricular extrasystole effectively influences the mechanisms of arrhythmia and improves the quality of life of patients.

If the patient's heart rate is below 40 beats/min, then an attack of bradycardia is accompanied by instability of blood pressure, weakness, sticky cold sweat, pain in the heart area, dizziness, and possible confusion.

At feeling unwell and low pulse use belladonna preparations, extracts of Eleutherococcus or ginseng root, caffeine, Zelenin drops. In case of bradycardia, you can increase your pulse and speed up your heart function with the help of Euphylline, Ephedrine, and Atropine.

Atrial fibrillation

ABOUT One of the most severe types of heart rhythm disturbances is atrial fibrillation. It is accompanied by:

rapid heartbeat, manifested in the form of attacks of pain;
shortness of breath;
muscle weakness;
trembling;
increased sweating;
dizziness.

For atrial fibrillation, the following medications help normalize heart function:

Concor;
Egilok;
Digoxin;
Metoprolol, etc.

The doctor prescribes the right remedy from arrhythmia only after determining the causes of the disease.

The effectiveness of treatment for atrial fibrillation pathology largely depends on the duration of its course. It's important to know that positive influence The above medications prescribed by a cardiologist for cardiac arrhythmias can only manifest themselves with long-term use.

Sedative assistants

To prevent heart disease, improve sleep, and relieve nervous tension, you can take the following sedative medications: Persen, Novo-Passit, Sanosan, Valoserdin. These drugs contain components from herbal remedies. With an acceptable dosage, sedative medications for cardiac arrhythmia cannot harm the human body.

D To normalize the heartbeat, patients who have arrhythmia must have at least Corvalol, Valerian infusion, Valocardin with them. Preferably in home medicine cabinet keep pills for heart arrhythmia based on hawthorn - these are Kordevit, Kratal or Cardiofit.

These drugs quite successfully relieve pain, but it is worth noting that they do not treat heart pathology. These sedatives are prescribed together with other medications in a comprehensive manner.

Treatment with folk remedies

On native remedies for cardiac arrhythmia are used in the form of tinctures and decoctions that have a calming effect. What are the most famous natural antiarrhythmics? Of course, this is an infusion of hawthorn, valerian and motherwort.

Also, in the treatment of atrial fibrillation, extrasystole and tachycardia, mixtures of valerian rhizomes and trifoliate, infusion of calendula flowers, peppermint collection, tea with lemon balm have proven themselves well.

They help strengthen the heart, improve its rhythm and general condition.

Hawthorn gives excellent results in the prevention and treatment of arrhythmia. More often it is used in the form of pharmaceutical alcohol tincture, although it acts more slowly than other heart drugs, it normalizes the activity of the organ.

The following are most effective in influencing arrhythmia: healing herbs: valerian, cornflower, calendula, lumbago, horsetail, hawthorn. Good action provide tinctures based on the herb Adonis and wild strawberries (30 g of fresh or dry berries per 1 cup of boiling water).

To increase the heart rate in the treatment of bradycardia, use eleutherococcus extract, yarrow tincture, nuts, a mixture of lemon with garlic and honey.

It is worth noting that the most popular is ginseng extract, taken in a timely manner. Those people who suffer from bradycardia should add it to tea or coffee, 15 drops per glass.

Is it possible to get healing effect from the use of dioscorea for bradycardia? No, despite the great medicinal value of this plant. Although Dioscorea improves heart function, it reduces blood pressure. Therefore, there are contraindications to its use in case of low pulse, although in other cases it is the best medicine.

Bradycardia can be treated with folk remedies when the disease is at an early stage of development and does not require the use of medications. You cannot engage in self-therapy, as this can lead to negative consequences.

How to live with arrhythmia?

No one, not even specialists, can answer the question of how long a person with arrhythmia, especially atrial fibrillation, can live. A lot depends on the patient himself:

It is necessary to change the diet and daily routine, give up bad habits, try not to be exposed negative influence stress.
You can’t not take medications, smoke a lot, or drink alcohol.
You need to protect your own life from all kinds of exacerbations and complications by adjusting your lifestyle.

The likelihood of a positive prognosis increases only under these conditions. Mandatory use of medications in the background the right image life is the only chance for recovery and long existence.

Controlling cholesterol and blood pressure levels, combating extra pounds increase the effectiveness of drug therapy. In nutrition, preference should be given to products that contain potassium.

For example, you need to include currants, bananas, dried apricots, potatoes, cabbage or greens in your daily diet. And they provoke cardiac arrhythmia: strong tea, alcohol, coffee, sugar, fatty meat, lard, sour cream.

Many people believe that it is harmful to constantly take pills that make the heart rate slower. It’s a pity that even in our age they prefer to get sick so as not to “contaminate the body with chemicals.” But refusing treatment will cause much more harm to the body.

Efficient drug therapy prescribed by a doctor, in combination with a healthy lifestyle, special nutrition, folk ways treatment allows a sick person to improve their quality of life.

The heart is rightfully considered one of the main human organs. Month after month, year after year, it pumps blood throughout the body, working without stopping or resting. Often the heart has to work especially hard harsh conditions- during physical activity, stress or pregnancy.

His work is also complicated by concomitant human diseases. But the heart endures and continues to pump blood. They don’t think about him, they don’t notice his work. But as soon as the heart behaves atypically, it immediately becomes the object of close attention.

If you suspect heart problems, you need to see a cardiologist. A specialist will be able to determine the presence of heart diseases, of which there are a great many. Approximately 15–20% of all diagnosed pathologies are. The reasons for its occurrence can be very different.

Accordingly, treatment too, from prescribing vitamins to surgical intervention. But if you are going to treat heart arrhythmia with pills, the list of medications will come in handy. As well as tips for their use.

Arrhythmia: causes and manifestations

The fact that arrhythmia is associated with a disturbance in heart rhythm is clearly indicated by its name. To be precise, arrhythmia is a violation of the rhythm and frequency of heart contractions.

Arrhythmia can be caused for various reasons, from minor to very serious, including:

diseases of the cardiovascular system;
diseases of the endocrine system;
traumatic brain injuries;
side effects from medications;
premenstrual syndrome or menopause;
nervous disorders, stress;
strong physical activity;
bad habits;
pregnancy.

The main (and often the only) symptom of arrhythmia is irregular heartbeat. The heart either speeds up for no apparent reason, or slows down, or makes sudden pauses, which, as a rule, cause a person to fear for his life. Other symptoms may include:

dizziness;
dyspnea;
weakness;
chest pain.

It should be remembered that the severity of arrhythmia is not at all an indicator of the severity of the disease. An unnoticeable and non-troubling arrhythmia may be a symptom dangerous disease, and pronounced – a manifestation of a healthy organism that does not require treatment.

Types of arrhythmias

Arrhythmias are usually divided into 3 groups, depending on the place of their occurrence: sinus (sinus), ventricular ( lower sections heart) and atrial ( upper sections hearts).

If you focus on the frequency and strength of the heartbeat, then arrhythmias can be divided into the following types:

– rapid heartbeat (over 90 beats per minute);
– slow heartbeat (below 55 beats per minute);
– uneven heartbeat, with pauses and additional heartbeats;
, which is caused by a weak twitching of the atria instead of their normal contraction. It is considered the most dangerous arrhythmia, as it poses a threat of ischemic stroke.

Medicines for arrhythmia

If we talk about medications for heart arrhythmia, the list will be impressive. Basically, cardiac arrhythmia is treated with tablets, and it is almost impossible to determine for yourself correctly which tablets to choose from all those presented in the pharmacy. A consultation with a cardiologist is necessary, who will prescribe the appropriate group of drugs for arrhythmia.

Sodium channel blockers, which increase cell resistance to external influences and stimulation. Cells become less excitable, the period of their contraction decreases. Sodium channel blockers are the largest group of drugs. It is divided into 3 subgroups:

drugs for arrhythmia that do not affect the impulse speed (Lidocaine, Tocainide, Phenytoin, Xylocaine, Meksitil, Caten);
medications that somewhat slow down the impulse (Novocainamide, Aymalin, Quinidine, Ritmilen, Procainamide);
drugs that greatly slow down the impulse and therefore require monitoring of use (Flecainide, Ritmonorm, Bonnecor, Allapinin, Ethmozin, Etatsizin, Propanorm).

Calcium channel blockers - slow down the transport of ions that the actively contracting myocardium needs. This group includes drugs:

Verapamil;
Diltiazem;
Isoptin;
Cardil;
Finoptin;
Gallopamil.

Beta blockers, which slow the heart rate and reduce arterial pressure. Beta blockers include:

Acebutolol;
Nadolol;
Propranolol;
Atenolol;
Metoprolol;
Betalok;
Vasocardin;
Anaprilin;
Pindolol.

Potassium channel blockers, which provide cells with rest and recovery during arrhythmia:

Sotalol;
Ibutilide;
Bretyllium tosylate.

Contraindications and side effects of drugs

Before prescribing a course of treatment for arrhythmia, the doctor will definitely ask about the presence concomitant diseases and intolerance to any substances.

Because medications for arrhythmia, like all medications, have their contraindications and can cause side effects. Here are just some of the diseases for which medication for cardiac arrhythmia should be selected especially carefully and carefully:

bronchial asthma;
cardiosclerosis;
liver diseases.

But pregnancy is also a contraindication for most antiarrhythmic drugs. There are situations when prescribing a drug for arrhythmia to a pregnant woman is really necessary.

In this case, treatment should be carried out very carefully, listening to the body and informing the doctor about any side effects. It will be especially difficult to choose a dosage.

Many processes occur in the body of a pregnant woman that make it impossible to prescribe the drug according to standard scheme. Only a professional will be able to correctly calculate the required doses.

At breastfeeding Treating arrhythmia is also not very easy; the question of stopping lactation may even arise. However, if the case is not too serious, then a herbal preparation that will not harm the child (for example, valerian extract) may be prescribed.

Because the we're talking about about the heart, you need to study the instructions especially carefully. Drugs for the treatment of arrhythmia cannot be harmless. Possible side effects include:

epigastric pain;
nausea;
weakness;
dizziness;
insomnia;
depression;
allergic reactions.

Herbs for arrhythmia

In some cases, herbs can perform no worse than medical supplies. Herbal treatment for arrhythmia can give good results, if the herb is selected correctly and the instructions for its use are followed. Herbs can be used both in collections and individually.

One of the most popular herbs for arrhythmia (and indeed for many heart diseases) is hawthorn.

It promotes blood circulation and normalizes heart rate. In addition, it calms nervous system, which contributes good health And sleep soundly for arrhythmia. For hypertensive patients, lowering blood pressure will be a pleasant bonus.

Another plant that can be extremely beneficial for heart disease is ginkgo biloba. It dilates blood vessels and increases their elasticity. This plant has the power to dissolve blood clots and prevent their formation.

Astragalus has proven itself well, suitable not only for arrhythmia, but also for, as well as. It improves heart function and expands coronary vessels, thanks to which it is removed nervous tension and lowers blood pressure.

They also drink to restore heart rate soothing herbs, such as valerian, motherwort and lemon balm.

Vitamins and minerals that help eliminate arrhythmia

Some vitamins will also help cope with arrhythmia. Again, a cardiologist should indicate what to drink during cardiac arrhythmia in order to avoid any negative manifestations. There is a good chance that your doctor will prescribe one or more vitamins from this list:

vitamin A – improves metabolic processes in the tissues of the heart;
vitamin B1 – helps increase the elasticity of the heart muscles and, accordingly, improve their functioning;
vitamin B8 – thins the blood, normalizes lipid metabolism and prevents the deposition of cholesterol in blood vessels;
vitamin C – strengthens blood vessels, normalizes the body’s metabolism and prevents the development of excess cholesterol;
vitamin E – strengthens the heart muscle, improves blood circulation, prevents the formation of blood clots;
vitamin F – prevents the development of atherosclerotic plaques on the walls of blood vessels;
vitamin N – normalizes carbohydrate and lipid metabolism;
Vitamin P – reduces the fragility of blood vessels, thereby normalizing blood supply and nutrition to the myocardium.

The following minerals will be useful for arrhythmia:

potassium – protector against high blood pressure;
magnesium – dilates blood vessels, normalizes heart rate and improves blood circulation;
selenium - a lack of this mineral leads to heart disease;
chromium – cleanses blood vessels.

First aid

If the arrhythmia began suddenly and severely, and the cardiologist does not live in the next apartment, then you need to call ambulance, open the window and lie down. Or sit down - for some people it’s easier to sit. If relief comes, then you just need to wait for the ambulance.

If it doesn’t get better, then you need to take any cordial tincture you can find in the house. Drugs such as Valocordin, Motherwort, Valerian, Corvalol for cardiac arrhythmia show high efficiency, positively affecting the regulation of heart rhythm and contraction frequency.

If there is no medicine at hand, you should try to induce vomiting, no matter how strange it may sound. In most cases, this simple technique helps to correct the heart rhythm.

In any case, arrhythmia - bad reason for panic. Fear and anxiety can only make the situation worse. You should calm down, breathe deeply and evenly, think that everything possible actions have already been undertaken, and it will become easier any minute.

Principles of treatment

Firstly, you cannot simply treat arrhythmia as such. First you need to be examined and make sure that it is not caused by serious reasons. Because if so, then the causes must also be treated.

Secondly, strict adherence to the treatment regimen prescribed by the doctor. Treatment with medications requires a responsible approach. You cannot change the time of administration, conditions (before/after meals, etc.), and, especially, the dose of the medicine.

Thirdly, an individual approach when prescribing medications. Presence of concomitant diseases, pregnancy or elderly age– all this requires careful selection of drugs.

The task is not only to cope with arrhythmia, but also to not harm the body in the process. That is why only a doctor should decide what to take for cardiac arrhythmia.

Fourthly, you should try to keep healthy image life so that the treatment works faster and is more effective. Walking on fresh air, balanced diet, emotional calm and giving up bad habits.

Fifthly, in winter, if you have arrhythmia, you should think about getting vaccinated against influenza. Flu has a strong toxic effect, the whole body suffers from it, and the cardiovascular system including. Getting a flu shot can reduce your risk of negative consequences diseases. For example, such as heart rhythm disturbances.

Arrhythmia is not a death sentence. It happens that they actually call her serious reasons, but even then you should not give up. Modern medicine offers all kinds of treatments for various diseases.

Where pills for heart arrhythmia do not help, cardiac surgeons will help. You should avoid grief and worry, and not create additional stress on your heart. An optimistic view of the situation does not cost a single ruble, but it can be decisive in the fight against the disease.
