Atrial fibrillation, do I need to go to an emergency room?

Atrial Fibrillation Non-persistent or paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is the most frequent sustained cardiac arrhythmia. Its increase is associated with the aging of the population. It is an alteration of the normal conductivity of the heart (sinus rhythm), when the atria do not contract properly and the ventricles do so irregularly and excessively quickly, preventing the normal functioning of the heart. A healthy heart, under normal conditions, should have a regular heart rhythm, since it is natural for it to…

Diabetes and its effects on the heart

It is one of the main cardiovascular risk factors, since it is closely related to the development of atherosclerosis, the involvement of the inner wall of the arteries that will cause narrowing and a decrease in blood perfusion (or irrigation). This affectation is due to the large amount of glucose in the blood, which damages the endothelium (internal lining of the vessels). In diabetics, myocardium (heart muscle) is affected by decreasing its capacity for contraction, so it is not…

Ketogenic diet and effects on the heart.

How does the ketogenic diet work? When you eat less than 50 grams of carbohydrates a day, your body eventually runs out of fuel (blood sugar) that you can use quickly. This usually takes 3 to 4 days.…

Weight and its effect on the heart.

Gaining weight can change the structure of the heart and its ability to pump blood. But losing weight can reverse that process, which is potentially lethal. Overweight is defined as a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or more and obesity as a BMI of 30 or more. "People who gain weight, even just 5 percent, are more likely to have thickening on the left side of the heart, which is a well-established indicator of heart failure," said researcher…
