Final answer:
Patients with MVP and arrhythmia symptoms may need beta blockers, antiarrhythmic agents, or possibly a pacemaker or defibrillator implantation under the care of a cardiologist for more severe or chronic conditions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Patients with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) who experience symptoms of arrhythmia require careful evaluation and management. Depending on the severity of the arrhythmias, treatment options can vary from medications to more invasive procedures. Medications such as beta blockers or antiarrhythmic agents may be used to control heart rhythm. In more severe cases, medical procedures such as cardioversion or defibrillation may be necessary to provide a controlled electric shock to restore normal heart rhythm. For those with chronic problems leading to a junctional rhythm, a cardiologist may implant an artificial pacemaker to deliver electrical impulses to the heart muscle, ensuring effective blood pumping. These pacemakers can be temporary or continuous and may also include a defibrillator.
