Treatment of tachycardia in Israel at Ichilov Clinic has become the only effective solution for many patients. It is also important to note that in addition to modern treatment methods, Ichilov Clinic uses the most advanced diagnostic techniques that help doctors thoroughly investigate the patient's condition and, based on the obtained data, select the most effective treatment.
Cardiovascular diseases are currently the most common in the world and occur in patients of all age groups. In Israel, for over ten years, any heart diseases have been successfully treated while actively using innovative surgical and minimally invasive medical methods.
Tachycardia in Israel: Treatment
Tachycardia in Israel is treated according to a personalized scheme. When choosing a treatment method, the cause that triggered this condition is primarily considered, and all attention is focused on its elimination.
Conservative therapy. If the patient's tachycardia has no symptomatic manifestations and does not bother the patient, it is sufficient to simply monitor the heart's condition and regularly perform an ECG. If minor symptomatic manifestations such as shortness of breath, rapid fatigue, or increased heart palpitations occur, antiarrhythmic medications from various groups are prescribed depending on the cause of the tachycardia. Treatment of paroxysmal tachycardia in Israel shows positive results.
Psychotherapy. Another important condition that is periodically observed in patients with tachycardia is depression and increased anxiety. Often, when the slightest symptoms such as shortness of breath or increased heart rate occur, patients begin to draw analogies with cardiac arrest or other similar conditions, which ultimately has a very negative impact on their health. Thus, this category of patients is prescribed cognitive psychotherapy aimed at correcting erroneous judgments.
Electroimpulse therapy. In severe cases, when tachycardia is caused by shock states, acute heart failure, acute cerebrovascular disorders, myocardial infarction, etc., and the intake of antiarrhythmic medications does not have the desired therapeutic effect, radical measures to restore heart rhythm are necessary. Electroimpulse therapy involves the application of high-voltage current through the sternum, which can restore heart rhythm.
Surgical treatment. Surgery for tachycardia is performed only in cases where the disease is caused by pathology of target organs and there is an opportunity to eliminate the root cause surgically. Operations for tachycardia in Israel at Ichilov Clinic are performed exclusively using minimally invasive techniques, and there is no need for complex open surgeries.

Diagnosis of Tachycardia in Israel
Diagnostic studies for tachycardia typically take about 2-3 days, focusing on a thorough examination of the cardiovascular system.
Day 1 - Consultation with a Cardiologist
On the first day upon arrival in Israel, the patient is consulted by a cardiologist. He carefully studies the medical history, previous diagnostic results, and collects the anamnesis. Auscultation of the heart and lungs, as well as percussion, is mandatory. The initial examination also includes an assessment of the patient's psychological state.
Day 2 – Detailed Investigations
The second day is dedicated to conducting necessary laboratory and instrumental diagnostics. The main stages include:
- Resting ECG;
- Holter monitoring – helps determine the presence of symptoms that appear periodically in the patient and cannot be displayed on a standard ECG. The microdevice can be installed for a period of 1 to 7 days;
- Electrophysiological study – conducted to accurately determine the location of the rhythm disturbance in the heart.
If the patient, along with tachycardia, has severe dysfunction of any organs (lungs, kidneys, liver, brain), all possible methods of investigating the function of these target organs are necessarily performed.
Day 3 - Choosing a Treatment Plan
On the third day, the cardiologist receives all the completed diagnostic results and discusses possible treatment methods with specialists from other fields. The patient is informed of all therapy methods and given the right to choose any of the proposed options.
