The technical capabilities and invaluable experience of the cardiologists at Ichilov Clinic place Israeli medicine a level, and sometimes several levels, above domestic medicine. In cases where our doctors are powerless due to inadequate funding from the state and the inability to apply the latest medical advancements, Israel provides assistance to patients even with advanced cases of cardiovascular diseases.
Reviews of extrasystole treatment in Israel confirm high effectiveness and are always filled with words of gratitude towards the medical staff of the clinic. Israeli specialists expertly eliminate any pathologies of the heart muscle and restore to patients the ability to lead a full life without constant shortness of breath, swelling, and other painful symptoms. Before prescribing any method of therapy, doctors conduct a thorough cardiological examination using state-of-the-art medical equipment. The diagnostic results at Ichilov Clinic are accurate to 100%, which becomes a determining factor in choosing effective methods of therapy for the disease, taking into account all identified features of its course.
Treatment Methods for Extrasystole
For most people with extrasystole, complex treatment is not required. However, if a patient experiences frequent rhythm disturbances, the doctor may recommend treatment to prevent the development of more severe and dangerous conditions.
Conservative Treatment
- Lifestyle changes. Eliminating common PVC triggers, such as caffeine or tobacco, can reduce the frequency and severity of symptoms.
- Medications. Beta-blockers, which are often used to treat high blood pressure and heart diseases, can suppress episodes.
- Other medications, such as calcium channel blockers or antiarrhythmic drugs like amiodarone (Pacerone) or flecainide (Tambocor), may also be used if ventricular tachycardia interferes with heart function.
Surgical Treatment
- Radiofrequency catheter ablation. For patients whose condition does not improve after lifestyle changes or medications, ablation therapy may be recommended. This procedure uses radiofrequency energy to destroy the area of heart tissue that causes irregular contractions.
- Other surgeries (valve replacement, bypass surgery, stenting). When irregular heart rhythm is due to valve defects, their replacement or repair is indicated. Depending on the individual causes of extrasystole, the doctor may recommend aortic coronary bypass surgery, stenting, and other surgical procedures. Cardiothoracic surgeons at Ichilov Clinic always prefer the safest minimally invasive methods that do not require large incisions and, consequently, are characterized by a faster recovery and rehabilitation period for patients.
Diagnostic Methods: Accuracy and Timeliness
The diagnostic process is planned in advance and scheduled by days. Even before arriving at the clinic, a medical representative coordinates all dates, so the patient does not spend a single day in vain.
Consultation
Immediately upon arrival at the clinic, the patient meets with the attending cardiologist. The doctor conducts an examination, clarifies symptoms and complaints, collects medical history, and reviews the results of previous studies. After drawing conclusions, the doctor determines which diagnostic procedures the patient will need to undergo directly at the clinic.
Diagnostic Procedures
To verify the diagnosis, the following types of procedures may be prescribed:
- An electrocardiogram (ECG) can detect extra beats and determine their nature and source. Depending on the frequency and timing of heartbeats, different types of ECG tests are available.
- Standard ECG. Sensors (electrodes) are attached to the patient's chest and limbs to create a graphical record of the electrical signals passing through the heart.
- Holter monitoring. A device that records necessary indicators is worn by the patient in a pocket or bag on a belt or shoulder strap. Heart activity is recorded for 24 or 48 hours, allowing the doctor to study the heart rhythm in detail.
- Stress test.
- Laboratory blood tests.
At the final stage of the examination, a council will convene where doctors from related specialties will determine the treatment plan and prognosis. The patient or their representative may attend this meeting and ask questions.
How Much Does Extrasystole Treatment Cost in Israel
The cost of treating the condition depends on the methods chosen and the medications required for treatment, as well as how long the patient will need to stay in the clinic. Our specialist can help calculate the approximate cost of treatment. If desired, you can obtain a comparative overview of the price lists of several Israeli medical centers and choose the most acceptable conditions.
It is worth noting that prices for treatment in Israel are always lower than in Western Europe or America, while the quality meets the highest medical standards. This is why Israel, as a medical destination, is the most popular among foreigners who prefer to seek treatment abroad.
