Treatment depends on the type and severity of the dysrhythmia and may include:
Medications: Antiarrhythmic drugs to control heart rate and rhythm. Ablation therapy: A procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to destroy the abnormal electrical pathways causing the dysrhythmia. Pacemakers: Devices implanted to regulate heart rhythm in cases of significant bradycardia or heart block. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs): Devices that monitor and correct life-threatening arrhythmias. Surgery: In cases where a structural heart defect is the underlying cause, corrective surgery may be necessary.
