Additional treatment options

Cardiac Monitoring and Screening

Regular ECG monitoring, Holter studies, and echocardiography to assess cardiac function and arrhythmia burden. Frequency based on symptom severity and genetic findings.

monitoring

Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator

ICD placement for high-risk patients with history of syncope, ventricular arrhythmias, or very prolonged QT interval. Provides automatic defibrillation for life-threatening arrhythmias.

surgical

Stress Reduction Techniques

Mind-body approaches including relaxation training, meditation, and breathing exercises to reduce sympathetic activation that may trigger arrhythmias.
