examination
7-day event recorder
A 7-day event recorder is a small portable device that records your heart rhythm for a week. It is used to detect heart rhytm disorders that occur less frequently (not every day).
condition
High blood pressure
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a common condition in which the pressure in the blood vessels is persistently elevated. This increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack, stroke and heart failure.
condition
Coronary artery narrowing
Coronary artery narrowing, also known as coronary artery disease, occurs when the blood vessels that supply the heart with oxygen (the coronary arteries) gradually become narrower. This usually happens due to a build-up of fatty deposits, cholesterol and other substances in the artery wall.
treatment
Pacemaker
A pacemaker is a small device with an internal battery that is implanted to keep your heart rhythm stable. It sends electrical impulses when the heart beats too slowly or irregularly. The device helps your heart to keep beating fast enough, reducing the risk of fainting.
treatment
Cardioversion
Cardioversion is a medical treatment used to restore an abnormal heart rhythm to a normal, regular rhythm. An external electrical shock is delivered to 'reset' the heart rhythm, allowing the heart to contract in a coordinated and regular way again.
