AFib symptoms like heart racing, fluttering, and irregular heart beat may be caused by heart disease, obesity, alcohol use, thyroid disease, and other conditions. AFib medications may include blood thinners, drugs to control heart rate or convert the heart to a normal rhythm. AFib surgery is ...
Case one: Tower CEO and founder William Decker, while in his 70s, had a history of cardiovascular disease (high blood pressure). Mr. Decker invented his Heart Technology drink after learning about Lp(a) first-hand from Linus Pauling. A friend had developed a new fast CT scanning device and...
Bypass surgery can be performed on any artery in the body. However, the coronary arteries are the most involved (the arteries that supply blood to the heart). A graft vein or artery is extracted from a healthy blood vessel in the body during bypass surgery. After that, the graft is surgi...
This minimally invasive procedure delivers energy through a catheter to correct an irregular heartbeat in patients with heart conditions like atrial fibrillation (AFib). During cardiac ablation, a small flexible tube (a.k.a. catheter) is inserted into a vein in the groin and guided through the ...
Atrial fibrillation (Afib) and ventricular fibrillation (Vfib) are both a type of abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia). Atrial fibrillation is caused by irregular electrical impulses in the atria and ventricular fibrillation is caused by irregular electric
In a healthy beating heart, your blood pumps in a steady, coordinated fashion in the chambers of your heart to and from other parts of your body. Atrial fibrillation (AFib) happens when the top two chambers of the heart, the atria, beat too fast and with an irregular rhythm (fibrillation...
Risk of atrial fibrillation (AFib), a common heart arrhythmia that raises the risk of stroke, is beneficially reduced with moderate exercise volumes but is highest in people who are sedentary and almost as high in people who are engaged in very high volumes of exercise training, that is, high...
