This damage accelerates the formation of plaques, leading to atherosclerosisa condition where arteries narrow and harden, restricting blood flow. Increased Blood Clot Risk: Smoking enhances the bloods clotting tendency, raising the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

AFib occurs when the electrical signals in the upper chambers of your heart (the atria) become chaotic, causing the chambers to quiver instead of beating effectively. In some cases, AFib can also increase the risk of stroke, blood clots and heart failure. How Do You Know If You Have AFib?

If untreated, AFib can lead to or exacerbate heart failure, and it significantly increases a person’s risk of stroke. Catheter ablation was given the highest Class 1 treatment recommendation for appropriately selected patients, including those with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

Dilation: The chambers of the heart expand, making the walls thinner. Both forms of enlargement may compromise the heart’s ability to pump blood efficiently, leading to further complications like heart failure. What Causes an Enlarged Heart? Anticoagulants to prevent blood clots.

What is a Heart Attack? A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, happens when an artery becomes blocked, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle. This blockage is often caused by a blood clot or the buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries, which supply the heart with oxygen-rich blood.

On Monday, I posted a video summary of the recently released Scientific Statement by the American Heart Association (AHA) on resistance exercise training for cardiovascular health. Everyone knows that resistance exercise is important for building and maintaining muscle mass. We lift weights to build and maintain muscle.
