Arrhythmia Symptoms Problems

• Symptoms that can be easily experienced in everyday life
• Most cases are not dangerous, such as anxiety symptoms due to stress and premature ventricular contraction.
• If symptoms are severe or you have underlying heart disease, treatment is required.
• If arrhythmia symptoms appear repeatedly, be sure to visit an arrhythmia specialist hospital for treatment.
• Risk of complications if arrhythmia that requires treatment is left untreated
• After blood stagnates inside the atrium and a thrombus occurs, the thrombus travels through the bloodstream and blocks blood vessels in the brain.
• It may stop for a few seconds and cause you to lose consciousness and fall over.

Arrhythmia Diagnosis

• Diagnosis through Electrocardiography
• Long-term observation because it mostly appears intermittently
• Utilize the electrocardiogram measurement function of the smartwatch (every time you feel heart palpitations or strange symptoms, record it with the smartwatch and deliver it to the medical staff)
