Those who have already experienced an onset of symptoms can still take several steps to live healthy lives. Reperfusion therapy is recommended in managing the symptoms. According to Kim, Nam Ho, and Jum Suk Ko, Reperfusion therapy has reduced the mortality rate of patients living with arrhythmias (1). The therapy restores blood flow through or around the arteries. A healthy diet that avoids risky foods like caffeine, processed and salty foods, gluten, among others, can help maintain normal heart rates. Mild exercise like walking or stitching is recommended, while high-intensity workouts are discouraged. Physicians often prescribe medication to normalize heart rate and can couple these with therapies such as ablation. Impaired devices like pacemakers can wirelessly transmit information on heart rhythm to help patients monitor their heart rates.
