Ritmusvizsgálat

Ritmusvizsgálat is a medical examination focused on detecting irregular heartbeats, also known as arrhythmias. The term "ritmusvizsgálat" is derived from Hungarian, with "ritmus" meaning rhythm and "vizsgálat" meaning examination or investigation.

During a ritmusvizsgálat, a healthcare professional will typically listen to the patient's heartbeat using a stethoscope to check for any abnormalities in rhythm, rate, or intensity. The examination may be performed in a hospital setting, doctor's office, or during an emergency.

Ritmusvizsgálat can be used to diagnose a variety of heart-related conditions, including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and ventricular tachycardia. Irregular heartbeats can sometimes be asymptomatic, but in some cases, they can cause symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness.

The examination is usually conducted by a cardiologist, a doctor specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of heart conditions. To perform the examination, the patient will typically lie on an examination table or sit in a comfortable position, and the healthcare professional will listen to the patient's heartbeat for a few minutes.

A normal heartbeat is characterized by a regular rhythm, with a rate of between 60 and 100 beats per minute. The ritmusvizsgálat is often performed in conjunction with electrocardiography (ECG) or Holter monitoring to further evaluate the patient's heart rhythm. The results of the examination will help the healthcare professional to determine if the patient needs further testing or treatment to manage their heart condition.
