Cardiomyopathies: These diseases affect the heart muscle, impairing its ability to pump blood effectively. Mutations in specific genes often cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy. How Do Genetic Factors Work?

Because it’s the month that houses Valentine’s Day, it is obviously the most appropriate month to share information about takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is commonly known by a few other names as well – stress cardiomyopathy, apical ballooning syndrome, broken heart syndrome, and stress-induced cardiomyopathy.

An Overnight Sensation (a century in the making) Efforts to measure the electrical activity of the heart had been well underway since the late 19th Century, though it was the Dutch physiologist Willem Einthoven, improving on these prior developments, who created what we recognize as the ECG.

But What About Stress & Heart Disease? When stress is included in the risk factor profile for a future heart attack, it comes in third on the list after abnormal cholesterol and smoking 1. That event might have been a heart rhythm issue or even a cardiac arrest. Bring back the real emergencies, I say!

Impella Left Sided Blood Pumps also are used when there is ongoing cardiogenic shock that occurs less than 48 hours after a severe heart attack (acute myocardial infarction), open-heart surgery, or when the heart is not functioning well due to a condition called cardiomyopathy.

Poor blood supply Ischemia, or inadequate blood supply to the heart, is an abnormality that can be detected in an ECG test. ECG tests can also show previous heart attacks. An ECG machine is able to detect other abnormalities of the heart as well, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or overly thick heart muscles.

This includes conditions like familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, familial dilated cardiomyopathy etc.

On average, females present with heart attacks later in life. 30% of all heart attacks in females happen at less than 65 years of age 3. Because of these facts, females are considered to be ‘ lower risk ’ when it comes to cardiovascular disease. Which is true for many females. Earlier in life.

Late-breaking results from the VANISH2 trial presented at AHA 2024 showed that catheter ablation might be a better first-line treatment than antiarrhythmic drugs for ventricular tachycardia patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. However, it’s unproven whether catheter ablation is more effective than antiarrhythmics as a first-line treatment.
