The most urgent goal in the treatment of rhythm disorders should be to ensure a coordinated contraction of the heart, corresponding to the physiological sequence of events during the heartbeat. In many cases, this goal is unattainable so that one must strive for at least partial success by achieving the following smaller goals: 1)to ensure that the heart pumps effectively enough to keep the organism alive;2)to alleviate the symptoms that result from the disturbed rhythm;3)to protect the patient from complications that could develop from the existing disorder; and4)to provide a satisfactory quality of life (e.g., capacity for physical exertion).
