In its normal condition, the human heart is like a strong bunch of muscles, pumping and maintaining the constant flow of blood throughout the circulatory system. It pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood through the body every day and beats about 2.5 billion times in an average 70-year lifespan. The structure of the human heart is highly complex. It has 4 chambers, 2 upper called Atria and two lower called ventricles. The flow of the blood is controlled and backflow prevented by flaps called valves. For blood to reach all tissues in all parts of the body, the blood needs to flow properly and the rhythm of the 4 heart chambers has to be maintained.
A term we’ve often heard is the ‘Pacemaker’. Every heartbeat starts with an electrical impulse and the pacemaker is the origin of these impulses, a node called SAN or the Sinu-Atrial Node. Due to a coordinated process, the heart beats blood, starting in the Right atrium, following a fixed path to the ventricles and them to the whole body from both the Vena Cava. Any issue with these impulses alters the whole process, causing abnormal rhythm of the heart. This is called Arrhythmia.
Arrhythmia is may see the electrical impulses being too fast, too slow or erratic, leading to the heart to beat too fast, too slow or erratically. When it beats too slowly, with about 60 beats per minute, it is known as Bradycardia. The condition with an abnormally fast heart rate, with up to 100 beats per minute, is called Tachycardia. Simple, painless tests like the Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) are used for diagnosis by monitoring the electrical activity of the Heart.
Symptoms of Arrhythmia include:
Health problems, especially of the heart, are scary. While surgery is one treatment, it is often taken as the last resort. Medicinal treatments are used to treat arrhythmias by facilitating the slowing down of the heart or thinning of blood to prevent clot formation. In some cases, an artificial pacemaker may be placed surgically to control the electrical impulses.
Arrhythmias are serious complications that are known to cause serious damage to the heart and consecutively to one or more organs. For this, it is important that the proper care and treatment is undertaken as soon as possible. Such care is provided at Narayana Health, also known as Narayana Hrudayalaya; heart care is one of their fortes, making them the heart care centre of choice in Bangalore, Mumbai, Kolkata and Ahmedabad with patients coming for Arrhythmia treatment from all across India and even abroad. The care provided by the hospital is such that many of its former patients swear by the work of not just its doctors and nurses but also the support/helper staff and their front desk for this services and etiquette. We feel that to them, nothing matters more than the care and medical tact needed to restore a patient’s good health.
Things to consider before buying a property
The real estate industry has highly developed all over the country. As a result a large number of new high-end residential projects are also coming up everywhere. People also prefer to live in huge spacious luxurious homes. Luxury has become a way of life and status symbol for many. High- end residential projects are not only coming up in metro cities but also in most of the other cities in the country. You should consider a few factors before buying a property.
All you need to know about Cardiac Electrophysiology
Cardiac Electrophysiology (EP) is a test that studies the electrical system of the heart. It is used to understand the cause of heart rhythm disorders and to narrow down on the best treatment for the problem. Our heart pumps about 4,300 gallons of blood every day, through the intricate vascular network of the body, although pumping blood is the main function of the heart, each and every one of the 100,000 beats generated daily is initiated and finely regulated by the electrical impulses that originate in the heart itself.
What you should know about Ultra Extravagant homes
The demand for high end luxury projects is increasing today in the city. Owning a luxury home is not merely a status symbol but is a dream come true for many.
