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.
Arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms. Some arrhythmias are normal variants (such as the respiratory sinus arrhythmia in dogs). Dangerous arrhythmias are those that result in clinical signs and/or put the animal risk of sudden cardiac death. Sinus node disease results in too low of heart rate (bradycardia).
