Expert Arrhythmia Treatment

by Dr. Bhavesh Roy

What is an Arrhythmia? > If you are experiencing a heart rhythm disorder, Ahmedabad-based senior cardiologist Dr. Bhavesh Roy (MD, DM) specializes in diagnosing and treating these conditions. An arrhythmia is an abnormal heartbeat caused by a malfunction in the heart’s electrical system, causing the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly.

An irregular heartbeat—whether it feels like a sudden flutter, a racing pulse, or a skipped beat—requires precise clinical diagnosis. While some rhythm disorders are harmless, an untreated severe heart rhythm disorder in Ahmedabad’s fast-paced environment can impede blood flow to vital organs and significantly increase the risk of stroke, syncope, or heart failure.

Recognizing the Symptoms of a Heart Rhythm Disorder: Ahmedabad Clinic Guidelines

Do not ignore what your heart is telling you. You should seek immediate cardiological evaluation if you experience any of the following warning signs:

  • Palpitations: An uncomfortable “fluttering” or pounding sensation in the chest.
  • Tachycardia & Bradycardia: A consistently racing heartbeat, or an unusually slow heartbeat that causes fatigue.
  • Syncope: Sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, or unexplained fainting spells.
  • Shortness of breath: Difficulty breathing during routine daily activities.

Comprehensive Diagnostics at Zydus Hospital

Accurate treatment begins with an exact diagnosis of your heart’s electrical pathways. Dr. Bhavesh Roy utilizes state-of-the-art diagnostic methodologies to monitor and evaluate your heart rhythm:

  • Electrocardiogram (ECG): The frontline, non-invasive test for capturing electrical activity in real-time.
  • Holter Monitoring: A 24-to-48-hour portable ECG device worn to catch irregular rhythms that occur intermittently outside the clinic.
  • Head-Up Tilt Test (HUTT): A specialized test to evaluate the causes of unexplained fainting (syncope) and dizziness.

Advanced Treatment Solutions

Depending on the specific type and severity of your condition, Dr. Bhavesh Roy provides personalized, evidence-based treatment plans aimed at restoring a normal heart rate.

Medical Management

Many rhythm disorders, such as Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), can be effectively controlled using the latest anti-arrhythmic medications and blood thinners to stabilize the heartbeat and prevent blood clots.

Device Implantation Therapy

For structural electrical failures, Dr. Roy is highly experienced in surgical device interventions, including Permanent Pacemakers for slow heart rates and Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators (ICDs) to prevent sudden cardiac arrest.

“Ignoring a skipped beat or sudden racing heart can lead to severe complications. Early diagnosis through a simple ECG or Holter monitor is the best way to protect your heart’s electrical system.” — Dr. Bhavesh Roy

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

When should I see a cardiologist for palpitations? You should seek an immediate cardiological evaluation if your palpitations are frequent or accompanied by dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath, or chest pain, as these symptoms may indicate a severe underlying rhythm disorder.

What tests are used to diagnose irregular heartbeats? Dr. Bhavesh Roy diagnoses rhythm abnormalities using resting Electrocardiograms (ECG), 24-to-48-hour continuous Holter monitoring, Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM), and Head-Up Tilt Tests (HUTT).

How long does pacemaker implantation surgery take? Permanent pacemaker implantation is typically a minimally invasive procedure that takes between 1 to 2 hours. Most patients recover quickly and can return home within 24 to 48 hours following the procedure at Zydus Hospital.

Does Dr. Bhavesh Roy treat Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)? Yes, Dr. Roy provides comprehensive management for Atrial Fibrillation. Treatment focuses on stabilizing the heart rate, restoring normal rhythm, and utilizing targeted medical therapies to significantly reduce the risk of stroke.
