Many people with heart failure are also affected by arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a disorder of the electrical signals to your heart, and affects its regular beat. This causes the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly, all of which can affect the flow of blood. It can be challenging to live with both heart failure and arrhythmia, and one can exacerbate the other. Therefore, the treatment of heart failure must factor in the treatment of arrhythmia. This World Heart Rhythm Week, we are happy to support the Arrhythmia Alliance in raising awareness of arrhythmia and promoting the importance of understanding your cardiovascular health.  #WHRW2024 

Approximately 1/3 of the world's population may develop a serious arrhythmia or heart rhythm disturbance. Hence Heart Rhythm Societies around the world have designated 1st March as Pulse Day - a global initiative to raise awareness and educate the public about cardiac arrhythmias. A really useful life skill is to learn how to feel your pulse, as taught by Dr Julian Chun. https://lnkd.in/g-YXjD9m #Pulseday #ahvc

🌟 #5 Fascinating Heart Mechanics 🌟 Cardiac stiffness can impact heart function in ways. In case of increased stiffness, the heart often compensates with enhanced contractility (more force), higher heart rate, and/or cardiac-dilation (increased end diastolic Volume) , maintaining relatively normal performance and EF values for most of the time. However, sometimes EF alone may not tell the full story of underlying cardiac dysfunction. The subtle changes in heart mechanics are more accurately captured by strain measurements, being more sensitive to myocardial deformation. This is where Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS) proves its clinical value. It is less dependent on preload conditions, offering early insights into heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), where EF remains unchanged despite compromised function. #Echocardiography #MedicalInnovation #StrainAnalysis #Healthcare Image credit - https://lnkd.in/efzeFYJs

The Impact of Electric Shock on the Heart can be significant. Understanding the effects is crucial. This video sheds light on key points, including: - Cardiac Arrest: Strong shocks can stop the heart resulting even in death. - Arrhythmias: Lower currents can cause irregular rhythms. - Heart Fibrillation: Serious cases involve ventricular fibrillation, disrupting blood flow. In cases of Heart Fibrillation from Electric Shock, Ventricular Fibrillation causes the heart's ventricles to quiver instead of contracting, requiring immediate intervention. Watch to learn more.

Be Natural..Go Natural.......@kk Natural herbal beverages that provide energy can be a great alternative to traditional caffeinated drinks. Here are some popular options: ### 1. Yerba Mate Yerba mate is a traditional South American drink made from the leaves of the Ilex paraguariensis plant. It contains caffeine, theobromine, and other stimulants, providing a smooth and sustained energy boost. **Benefits:** - Rich in antioxidants and nutrients. - Improves mental focus and clarity. - Enhances physical performance. ### 2. Matcha Green Tea Matcha is a type of powdered green tea that offers a calm and sustained energy boost thanks to its unique combination of caffeine and L-theanine. **Benefits:** - High in antioxidants, particularly catechins. - Promotes relaxation and reduces stress. - Boosts metabolism and burns calories. ### 3. Guayusa Guayusa is an Amazonian leaf brewed like tea, offering a gentle and steady energy lift. It contains caffeine and antioxidants, similar to yerba mate. **Benefits:** - Improves mental alertness and focus. - Contains amino acids that promote calmness. - Supports digestion and detoxification. ### 4. Ginseng Tea Ginseng tea, made from the root of the ginseng plant, is known for its adaptogenic properties, helping the body adapt to stress and enhancing overall energy levels. **Benefits:** - Boosts physical and mental energy. - Enhances immune function. - Reduces stress and promotes well-being. ### 5. Rhodiola Rosea Tea Rhodiola is an adaptogen that helps improve energy, reduce fatigue, and enhance physical and mental performance. **Benefits:** - Improves endurance and reduces fatigue. - Enhances mood and cognitive function. - Supports adrenal function and reduces stress. ### 6. Ginger Tea Ginger tea provides a natural energy boost by improving circulation and digestion. It's also an excellent remedy for nausea and inflammation. **Benefits:** - Boosts energy and circulation. - Aids digestion and reduces nausea. - Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. ### 7. Ashwagandha Tea Ashwagandha is another adaptogen known for its ability to boost energy levels, reduce stress, and improve overall vitality. **Benefits:** - Reduces stress and anxiety. - Enhances physical performance and endurance. - Supports immune function and overall health. ### 8. Lemon Balm Tea Lemon balm, a member of the mint family, is known for its calming effects but can also help improve mood and cognitive function, contributing to a feeling of enhanced energy. **Benefits:** - Reduces anxiety and stress. - Improves mood and cognitive function. - Supports digestive health. These herbal beverages can be enjoyed hot or cold, depending on your preference. They provide a natural and sustained energy boost without the jitters or crashes often associated with high-caffeine drinks.

Do you know the difference between a cardiac arrest and a heart attack? ⚡️ Cardiac arrest is an "electrical" problem: the heart goes into an erratic rhythm, cannot pump blood and stops beating entirely. 💧 A heart attack is a "plumbing" problem: the heart’s blood flow is slowed/ blocked, but the heart keeps beating.
