Abnormal heart rhythm increases your chance of a stroke Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common heart rhythm disorder, means you’re five times more likely to have a stroke.3. Take your pulse to check if it’s racing or irregular. AF can be treated with medicines to control heart rate...
Normal blood levels of potassium are critical for maintaining normal heart electrical rhythm. Both low blood potassium levels (hypokalemia) and high blood potassium levels (hyperkalemia) can lead to abnormal heart rhythms. The aim of the work presented is to study the effect of potassium ...
It has long been known that resveratrol has cardio-protective effects and seems to prevent some rhythm disorders of the heart, lowers blood pressure and reduces enlargement of the heart. "We have had a tremendous amount of success with resveratrol and have been at the leading edge of resveratrol...
Consequently, the direction of atrial activation may be altered, which can be seen as an abnormal P-wave axis on the electrocardiogram (ECG). The appearance of the P-wave depends on the site of origin of the ectopic rhythm. The P-wave can be decreased in amplitude, or it can be ...
Cardiac hypertrophy is the abnormal enlargement of the heart muscle, due to an inherited or acquired condition. It can also be acquired by a sudden increase in the workload of the heart muscle with pre-existing heart disease. Answer and Explanation:1 ...

the laboratory, the team showed that some of the changes identified caused abnormal function of the genes involved. The study showed that the DNA changes in these two genes are present in around 7 percent of ToF patients, making them the two most important genes that contribute to the ...
My condition is actually somewhat common, or more common than people think. I have an arrhythmia—an abnormal heart rhythm caused by electrical impulses that have gone haywire. There are many different kinds arrhythmia. Some cause the heart to beat too quickly; others, too slowly or too erratic...
An increasing number of people in the Asia-Pacific region are living with AF. In China alone, up to eight million people suffer from AF, an abnormal heart rhythm and a major risk factor for stroke. AF causes the heart to beat irregularly, allowing blood to pool and create clots, which ...
