Factors associated with high-intensity physical activity and sudden cardiac death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Heart BMJ

However, current guidelines adopt a more liberal stance, and evidence on risk factors for exercise-related sudden cardiac death remains limited. Clinical and imaging characteristics, cardiopulmonary exercise test findings and genetic data were compared between the groups.

The Risks and Benefits of 'Too Much' Exercise

Physiologically Speaking

” While an awe-inspiring anecdote, our knowledge of human limits, physiology, and the sheer number of participants in endurance sports is enough evidence to conclude that running a marathon won’t kill you. Physiologically Speaking is a reader-supported publication. ” Isn’t exercise good for us?

Cardiomatics guide: Analyzing arrhythmias made easy

Cardiomatics

Then, the current flows to an area known as the bundle of His, which divides into two branches (LBB and RBB) and is the only physiological pathway connecting the atria with the ventricles. In healthy individuals occurs during exercising or strong emotions. 1] Arrhythmia Recognition: The Art of Interpretation, T.Garcia, D.Garcia.

How Wearable Tech Can Help Monitor Your Heart Health

MIBHS

The Role of Wearable Technology in Heart Health Wearable tech is designed to monitor physiological data and provide actionable insights to users. By identifying patterns, users can understand how their heart responds to exercise, stress, or relaxation. This reduces the likelihood of complications during and after the procedure.

Case Report: Multimodality evaluation and clinical management of a single coronary artery

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Electrocardiogram in clinic showed sinus arrhythmia with early repolarization and no ischemic changes. Treadmill exercise stress test showed excellent functional capacity without exercise-induced chest pain or ischemic ECG changes. Invasive coronary angiography ruled out luminal narrowing or dynamic compression.

“Diastolic blind spots” in VT

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

Any deviation or trespassing results in arrhythmia. Like hemodynamics of blood , an “electro-dynamic” flow cycle exists that is critically important both in physiology and pathology. The learning point is that, in VT ablation, looking for anatomical diastolic tracts and its electrical activity becomes a key exercise.

How Mental Health Can Affect Your Heart Health

MIBHS

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.
