Chugh’s leadership in arrhythmia research and care is extraordinary,” said Eduardo Marbán, MD, PhD , executive director of the Smidt Heart Institute. A heart attack is usually caused by a blood clot in an artery leading to the heart and is seldom fatal.

In some cases, AFib can also increase the risk of stroke, blood clots and heart failure. This increases the pressure inside your ear and chest, which reduces some heart arrhythmias. This irregular heartbeat can lead to a racing pulse, shortness of breath, dizziness and fatigue. How Do You Know If You Have AFib?

However, angiograms often reveal no major blockage in the heart’s blood vessels, indicating a different mechanism. Myocarditis symptoms can also mimic a heart attack, and small blood clots may cause pain. Improving Heart Health After COVID-19: After a COVID-19 infection, a follow-up exam is crucial.

The exact mechanisms behind this link are complex, but it’s believed that the combination of lifestyle factors associated with depression (such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and smoking) and the physiological effects of depression on the body (including inflammation and blood clotting) can contribute to heart problems.

It occurs when blood flow to the coronary arteries is restricted, frequently by a blood clot, which can harm the heart muscle and result in consequences like heart disease or sudden cardiac arrest. This can happen when the heart is unable to adequately pump blood, which results in an accumulation of fluid in the body.

POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS : It is important to note that there may be possible risks associated with using antiarrhythmics in children with CHD, ironically including an increased risk of arrhythmia. Anticoagulants WHAT THEY DO : Anticoagulant therapy is important for preventing blood clots in children with congenital heart disease.

Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is the most common type of heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia), affecting over 6 million Americans, and the number is expected to double by 2030. This device sits in the heart’s left atrial appendage, where blood clots often form, to prevent them from getting into the bloodstream.

The most frequent cardiac arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, is known to independently increase the risk of dementia, said Massimo Barbagallo, M.D., Participants had undergone at least eight years of monitoring for stroke, mini-stroke, inflammation blood markers and blood-clotting, brain imaging and repeated cognitive testing.
