Behandling av hjertearytmi

Hvis du har fått diagnostisert arytmi (hjerterytmeforstyrrelse), kan behandling noen ganger være nødvendig. Vanligvis er behandling bare nødvendig hvis arytmien gir klare plager, eller hvis den medfører risiko for at du skal få en alvorligere arytmi eller en komplikasjon til arytmi.
