Heart arrhythmia

Imagine your heart as a drummer keeping a steady beat for the band – that's your body. Now, sometimes the drummer gets a bit off track, playing too fast, too slow, or just in a jumbled-up way. That's what happens in heart arrhythmia.

 


Types of Offbeat Heart Rhythms

  1. Atrial Fibrillation (AFib): The upper chambers of the heart go a bit haywire, causing an irregular heartbeat.

  2. Bradycardia: The drummer slows down, and the heart beats too slowly, affecting the rhythm.

  3. Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT): Imagine a drummer going on a speedy solo above the regular beat – that's SVT.

What Makes the Heart Lose the Beat?

Several things can throw off your heart's drummer:

  • Age: As we grow older, the risk of the drummer going offbeat increases.

  • Heart Disease: If the heart has issues, like clogged pipes, it might struggle to keep the rhythm.

  • High Blood Pressure: Too much pressure can stress out the drummer, causing irregular beats.

  • Partying Too Hard: Just like a tired drummer, excessive alcohol or caffeine can mess with your heart's rhythm.

Getting Back in Tune

1. Medications: Think of them as a coach guiding the drummer to stick to the right beat.

2. Cardioversion: It's like giving the drummer a gentle nudge or a tap on the shoulder to get back on track.

3. Catheter Ablation: Imagine fixing the drum kit – this procedure targets the issue and gets rid of it.

Heart Attack - Overview, symptoms and Causes

Image
Overview A heart attack occurs when there is a significant reduction or blockage in the blood flow to the heart. This blockage typically results from the accumulation of fat, cholesterol, and other substances in the coronary arteries, known as plaques. The formation of these fatty, cholesterol-containing deposits is referred to as atherosclerosis. In certain instances, a plaque may rupture, leading to the formation of a clot that obstructs the normal blood flow. Insufficient blood supply can cause damage or complete destruction of a portion of the heart muscle. A heart attack occurs when there is a blockage in an artery responsible for supplying blood and oxygen to the heart. Over time, the accumulation of fatty, cholesterol-containing deposits forms plaques in the heart's arteries. If one of these plaques ruptures, it can lead to the formation of a blood clot, which in turn can obstruct arteries and trigger a heart attack. During a heart attack, inadequate blood flow results in th...
