cardiac rhythm management

Cardiac rhythm management involves monitoring and regulating the heart’s electrical signals to ensure it beats regularly and effectively. Devices like pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are used to detect irregular heartbeats and deliver electrical impulses or shocks to restore normal rhythm. These interventions help maintain proper blood flow, reduce symptoms like dizziness or fainting, and decrease the risk of serious complications like stroke. By ensuring the heart maintains a steady, efficient pace, rhythm management improves overall cardiovascular health and quality of life for individuals with arrhythmias or other heart rhythm disorders.
