Patients living with one of the UK's most common heart rhythm conditions are 50% less likely to die from a heart attack or stroke than they were at the start of the millennium, analysis of 70,000 newly diagnosed AF patients' health records has shown.

Reducing Hospitalizations by Detecting Early Warning Signs One of the biggest cost drivers in cardiovascular care is unplanned hospitalizations due to acute cardiac events like heart attacks and strokes.

Arrhythmias: Genetic mutations can also predispose individuals to irregular heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation or long QT syndrome, which may increase the risk of stroke or sudden cardiac arrest. How Do Genetic Factors Work?

Hence blockage of LAD can cause a major heart attack, which can sometimes be fatal. Ventricles are the lower muscular pumping chambers of the heart. When the LAD is blocked at its origin, the resulting damage to the heart muscle is large so that the pumping function may fail.

While this response is adaptive in the short term, chronic stress keeps your blood pressure elevated for extended periods, increasing your risk of hypertension (high blood pressure) and its associated complications, such as heart disease and stroke.

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!

Sometimes beta blockers are used in a purely symptom control role such as for controlling anxiety or benign ectopics in people with normal hearts So if you are taking beta blockers it is always worth asking why you take them.

Common conditions that can cause our pump to become defective are: A previous heart attack – a heart attack means that a part of the heart has died and therefore, the pump has in some way become weaker Heart valve disease – if our heart valves are abnormally narrowed then they make it a lot more difficult for the heart to pump blood out.

First degree heart block can also occur in a heart attack involving the lower part of the heart known as inferior wall myocardial infarction. Complete heart block needs a temporary or permanent pacemaker depending on whether disease causing it is reversible or not.

This can include our hearts, which may develop conditions like bradycardia or a slow heart rate. While a slow heart rhythm might not sound concerning, it can sometimes lead to alarming symptoms and even pose severe health risks. Bradycardia is a condition in which the heart’s rhythm is too slow.

CT coronary angiography, in addition to a CT CAC, is arguably the best test for estimating whether someone has evidence of coronary artery disease and what that means for their near-term risk of a heart attack. Having no evidence of plaque on both of these tests reflects a very low risk of a heart attack in the next five to ten years.

So cardiomyopathies, valve problems, myocarditis and previous heart attacks all cause a problem with the pumping function of the heart. Patients with a completely normal CT scan are very unlikely to have a heart attack within the next 3-5 years. The problem with CT scanning is if you see something.

“Doctor, I forgot to tell, my father died suddenly at the age of 48 apparently by a heart attack” I must admit, I was taken aback the moment he told this. Every thing was hunky-dory , then , this thing happened. When he was above to leave the office, he came back. What an important past history, I failed to elicit earlier.

Cardiovascular diseases are a group of diseases of the heart and blood vessels. They include coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and rheumatic heart disease. More than four in five cardiovascular deaths are caused by heart attacks and strokes, and a third of these deaths occur in people under the age of 70.

Have you wondered what causes a heart attack? Three coronary arteries supply blood to the heart. When one of these arteries becomes completely blocked by a blood clot, it results in a heart attack, also known as MI (Myocardial infarction). So, how do you recognize a heart attack?
