Dangerous ventricular ekstrasistolia?

Ventricular extrasystole is a premature heart excitement that occurs under the influence of pulses from different parts of the ventricular system. Ventricular extrasystole is considered the most common disease with heart rhythm disturbances. Its frequency depends on the method of diagnosis, as well as the contingent of the subjects. Many are concerned about the dangers of this heart disease for life. To answer the question "Is the ventricular extravasystia dangerous for a person?" It is necessary to conduct an electrocardiogram of the heart and daily monitoring.

Whether the ventricular extrasystole

is dangerous After the necessary studies( analyzes, ECG, daily movement), the following data will be obtained. What kinds of rhythm disturbances have been registered for the day;How many episodes of different types of violations were revealed.

But in the absence of this method of diagnosis, only a short record of ECG studies can sometimes make some conclusions.

To date, there are several classifications of arrhythmias precisely because of the danger to life. There are five classes of ventricular extrasystoles according to the classification of Lown and Wolf.

Class 1 is a ventricular single extrasystole that has a frequency of less than 30 per hour. As a rule, this arrhythmia is not dangerous for the life of the patient and is considered the norm for a healthy person.

Class 2 is a single ventricular extrasystole whose frequency is more than 30 per hour. This arrhythmia is more important for health, but despite this, it does not lead to any serious negative consequences.

Class 3 is polymorphic extrasystoles, in other words, those that have a different shape in one ECG lead. In the presence of multiple episodes of arrhythmia of this type, a specific treatment is required.

Class 4a includes paired ventricular extrasystoles, which successively follow one after another.

Class 4c includes volley ventricular extrasystoles - this is from 3 to 5 ventricular extrasystoles in a row.

Class 5 is the early ventricular extrasystoles or "R to T".

Classes 4a, 4c, 5 are high severity extrasystoles, in other words, those that trigger ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, and this is very dangerous for the patient's life, will lead to cardiac arrest, usually with all of the ensuing consequences.

In addition, the importance of arrhythmias in lower class medicine is revealed by the presence of symptoms that have arisen against such extrasystoles. It also happens that the patient every second stroke is an extrasystole, and he does not even feel it, it also happens that the extrasystole appears up to 3 times an hour, and the patient almost never loses consciousness. It can be concluded that in each individual case, the risk of ventricular extrasystole for the life of the patient is individually identified.
