What is the treatment for heart rhythm disorders?
Treatment is individualized and based upon the diagnosis. Can heart rhythms be prevented? Minimizing risk factors for heart disease will be helpful, including controlling blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, keeping diabetes under control, and not smoking. For those with rapid palpitations that are intermittent, avoiding stimulants like alcohol, caffeine, over-the-counter cold medications, and illicit drugs are important preventive measures.
