When the heart beats irregularly, it is called an arrhythmia. Although arrhythmia may be concerning, it can be minor and cause symptoms like a fluttering or pounding sensation. On the other hand, it ...

The recognition of the genetic substrate underlying the inherited arrhythmia syndromes has provided remarkable insight into the molecular basis of cardiac electrophysiology, including the role of the ...

There is a sound theoretical basis for the occurrence of reflex cardiac arrhythmias in chronic cor pulmonale. Stimuli for cardiac arrhythmias may arise from pressure receptors in the right cardiac ...

Defibrillation devices, which can help save heart attack victims or those suffering from arrhythmia, can get the job done ...

Having CAD, scarring of your heart muscle, certain medications, or genetic problems can cause an arrhythmia (an irregular heartbeat). Rheumatic disease, certain infections, and aging can cause ...

My head started to spin. I pulled over, checked my watch, and discovered that I was experiencing atrial fibrillation—a fancy name for a type of arrhythmia. The heart beats, but not in the proper ...

A scientific statement has been published by the AHA regarding COVID-19-associated cardiac arrhythmias and autonomic dysfunction ... Please see the original reference for a full list of authors’ ...

a heart attack, or an infection. Other types are inherited, including the following: An arrhythmia is a heartbeat that differs from the typical lub-dub pattern. This is a result of a problem with ...

Ambulatory electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring is used to help medical professionals diagnose intermittent cardiac arrhythmias that occur only infrequently and unpredictably. Such arrhythmias often ...

In recent years, we have more and more evidence of how air pollution is impacting our heart health. In our own study, we ...

Calcium, often associated with vitamin D, is crucial for bone health. A deficiency can cause bone pain, fractures, or ...

Background: Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) carries an elevated risk of developing ventricular arrhythmias (VA) but there remains limited evidence supporting the role of catheter ablation ...
