Q

What is the sudden "thump" of the heart?


The normal heartbeat is regular, and the intervals between each heartbeat are basically equal. If the heart suddenly "thumps", it may be because the heart has not yet reached the interval, but has contracted a little early, making the heart beat prematurely.


Premature beats are a common clinical condition with a wide range of onset. They can occur in both normal and cardiac patients, and their incidence increases with age.


Ask

Can drinking coffee or strong tea cause arrhythmia?


Premature heartbeats are quite common. Busy work, drinking coffee, strong tea and staying up late may cause physiological premature heartbeats, which usually do not require intervention, but if the number of premature heartbeats accounts for more than 20% of the heartbeats throughout the day, it is necessary to pay attention to them and get treatment as soon as possible. However, if the frequency of premature heartbeats is less than 20%, but the patient has obvious symptoms or a small number of pro-continuous or malignant arrhythmias, timely treatment is also needed.


Q

Are premature beats life-threatening?


Premature beats are heart beats caused by premature impulses from ectopic pacing points and are the most common cardiac arrhythmia.

A sudden & quot;thump


The vast majority of premature beats are benign and can be distracting, but not fatal. The chances of malignant premature beats occurring are very low. Therefore, there is no need to be overly alarmed by the occurrence of premature beats.


It is recommended that the patient go for an electrocardiogram so that the doctor can determine the nature of the premature beats. Currently, it cannot be cured with drugs, but it can be controlled. In severe cases, catheter ablation surgery can be used to cure the problem. In fact, more than 90% of premature beats can be cured by catheter ablation, and most of the procedures are not very difficult. It is important to note that the older you are, the more likely you are to experience premature contractions.
