Arrhythmologist in Kyiv: Diagnosis and Treatment of Heart Rhythm Disorders at CSM Clinic

An arrhythmologist is a cardiologist with a narrow specialization who diagnoses and treats heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias). If a general cardiologist is the "plumber" of the heart (blood vessels, pumping function), the arrhythmologist is the "electrician" responsible for the conduction system and electrical impulses. At CSM Clinic in Kyiv, we provide specialist care to patients with an irregular heartbeat, helping to reduce the risk of serious complications such as stroke or heart failure.

When Should You See an Arrhythmologist?

Arrhythmia often masquerades as fatigue or anxiety. It is worth booking a consultation if you notice:

a sensation of "skipped beats" in the heart (fluttering, tumbling, sudden jolts);

a sudden rapid pulse at rest (above 90-100 bpm);

a pulse that is too slow (below 55-60 bpm) accompanied by weakness;

episodes of dizziness, darkening of vision, or loss of consciousness;

shortness of breath with minor physical exertion;

a feeling of panic accompanied by a chaotic heartbeat.

Which Conditions Do We Treat?

The specialists of CSM Clinic manage patients with the following diagnoses:

Tachycardia: a pathologically accelerated rhythm.

Bradycardia: a pathologically slowed rhythm.

Extrasystole: premature heart contractions (the most common type of arrhythmia).

Atrial fibrillation: chaotic contraction of the atria, which is one of the main causes of ischemic stroke.

Paroxysmal conditions: sudden attacks of palpitations that begin and end abruptly.

Modern Arrhythmia Diagnostics in Kyiv

The difficulty with arrhythmia is that during an ordinary doctor's visit the heart may work perfectly. That is why at CSM Clinic we use long-term monitoring methods:

Electrocardiogram (ECG): the basic method for assessing the rhythm "here and now".

Holter monitoring (Holter ECG): a key method in arrhythmology. The patient wears a compact device for a day or more, which makes it possible to "catch" hidden rhythm disturbances during sleep, exertion, or stress.

Echocardiography (heart ultrasound): to rule out structural pathologies of the myocardium and valves.

Laboratory diagnostics: tests for electrolytes (potassium, magnesium), thyroid hormones, and markers of inflammation.

Treatment Methods at CSM Clinic

Our goal is not only to restore a normal (sinus) rhythm but also to help maintain it.

Drug therapy: selection of modern antiarrhythmic drugs and anticoagulants (to prevent blood clots).

Lifestyle correction: weight control, treatment of sleep apnea, correction of deficiencies.

Selection for surgical treatment: when a pacemaker implantation or ablation is needed, we refer the patient to specialized cardiac surgery centers and provide support before and after the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should you avoid with arrhythmia?

You should avoid stress, excessive use of stimulants (caffeine, energy drinks, alcohol), and smoking. Intense strength training without a doctor's approval can also be dangerous.

How can you quickly relieve a heart palpitation attack at home?

Sit or lie down and make sure there is fresh air. Try to take a deep breath, hold it, and bear down (vagal maneuvers). If the pulse does not normalize within 15-20 minutes or there is chest pain, call an ambulance.

Can arrhythmia be cured permanently?

Some types (for example, situational tachycardia) go away after the cause is removed (stress, coffee, thyroid problems). Chronic conditions such as atrial fibrillation require lifelong monitoring, but many patients can still lead a full life.

Can you drink coffee with arrhythmia?

A strict ban is not necessary for everyone. In many patients, 1 cup of natural coffee does not cause worsening. However, energy drinks and strong alcohol should be strictly avoided.

Which arrhythmia is not dangerous?

Respiratory (sinus) arrhythmia, in which the pulse speeds up on inhalation and slows down on exhalation, is normal, especially in children and young people. Occasional extrasystoles can also be a variant of the norm.
