âPrimary care physicians fall into [one of two categories]: family medicine doctors and internal medicine doctors,â explains Saju Mathew, M.D., a primary care physician at Piedmont Physicians Group. âWeâre all primary care physicians, but the biggest difference is internal medicine doctors are like adult pediatricians.â.
Please describe what type of heart rhythm disorder you have. I am a 44 year old female with paroxysmal, atrial fibrillation and bradycardia. I also have high blood pressure, diabetes type 2, asthma, and ischemic stroke. I wonder if an inherited heart condition started at birth can cause some of these conditions that are life threatening.
In individuals with WPW syndrome, an abnormal alternate electrical pathway (accessory pathway), exists between the atrium and the ventricle, resulting in abnormal heartbeat rhythms (arrhythmias) and faster than normal heartbeats (tachycardia). The normal heart has four chambers.
