Personalized Medicine for the Common Cardiac Arrhythmia

Atrial fibrillation patients are closer to accessing personalized medicine, according to new study led by Dr David Filgueiras, of the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC), the Hospital Clínico San Carlos de Madrid, and the ...

Link Between Prenatal Air Pollution and Infants’ Reduced Heart Rate Response to Stress Identified

Prenatal air pollution is linked to decreased cardiac response to stress in six-month-old infants, stated Mount Sinai research published in Environmental Health Perspectives in October. This study is the first to find that particulate air pollution ...

Gene Therapy for Heart Arrhythmia

The first human tissue model of an inherited heart arrhythmia has been created by researchers at Boston Children's Hospital. The model replicates two patients' abnormal heart rhythms in a dish, and then suppressing the arrhythmia with gene therapy ...

Stress-induced Changes in Heart Rate may Impair Auditory Perception

Brain activity linked to auditory attention keeps pace with heart rate. Hence sudden hearing loss is experienced in highly stressful situations as stress-induced changes in heart rate may impair auditory perception. This finding may offer new ...

Lower Heart Rate Variability Linked to Stressed Newborns

Lower heart rate variability was found to correlate with autonomic manifestations of stress shortly after birth in newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), according to Children's research presented during the Pediatric Academic ...

Heart Attack Triggers Arrhythmia in Some, Explores Potential Treatment

The genetic pathway that causes some people to develop an abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia, after experiencing a heart attack has been identified by a team of researchers led by the University of California San Diego. They have also identified a ...

Fast Heart Rate in Cancer Patients May Up Death Risk

Fast heart rate (Tachycardia) may increase the risk of death in cancer patients, reports a new study. Cancer patients who experienced tachycardia within one year of cancer diagnosis had higher mortality rates up to 10 years after diagnosis of ...

Link between Secondhand Smoke and Cardiac Arrhythmia Identified

New study finds that continuous indoor exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke triggers changes in the heart's electrical activity that can predict cardiac arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. The findings of the study are published in the journal ...

Potential Marker May Help Identify People with Abnormal Heart Rate

Potential marker has been discovered to identify which people with abnormally fast heartbeats are at high risk of developing heart failure, reports a new study. The findings of the study are published in the journal Circulation: Genomic and ...

Too Much Stress at Work can Lead to Irregular Heart Rate

Work pressure can increase the risk of developing a rapid and irregular heart rate, known as atrial fibrillation (AF), which can lead to various other complications such as stroke, dementia, and heart failure. The study found that being ...

Smoking, Alcohol Consumption Increase Lifetime Risk Of Irregular Heart Rate

Smoking and alcohol consumption increases lifetime risk of a rapid and irregular heart rate, called atrial fibrillation, which can lead to a stroke, dementia, heart failure and other complications, a new study says. The study was published in The ...

Heart Rate Increase, Fall In Blood Pressure Combo Test Can Help Diagnose Brain Diseases

Highlights: A change in heart rate matched with a drop in blood pressure after a patient stands, may predict serious neurological disease This simple bedside test could help doctors diagnose certain degenerative brain diseases called ...

Excess Alcohol Consumption can Increase Your Heart Rate

Consuming more alcohol can increase your heart rate, says a team of researchers. The research was presented on 18th of March, 2018 at EHRA 2018 Congress, organized by the European Society of Cardiology. Binge drinking has been linked with atrial ...

Researchers Develop Drones Capable of Reading Human Heart Rate

Drones capable of measuring a person's breathing and heart rate from 60 metres away have been developed by Australian researchers. The researchers led by Javaan Chahl from the University of South Australia (UniSA), showed that the drone ...

Novel Smartwatch Technology to Help Track Heart Rate

Highlights: A wearable wristwatch technology tracks the heart’s electrical activity and notifies patients with atrial fibrillation of their heart rate status. Placing a finger on the wristwatch tells the user if the heart rate ...

Normal heart rate and rhythm can be measured by checking pulse on the wrist and evaluated with an electrocardiogram. Myths about heart rate can lead to anxiety.

What is Wolf-Parkinson-White Syndrome

Holter Monitoring - Tests, Procedures and Results

Holter monitoring gives doctors a constant reading of the heart rate and rhythm over a 24-hour period (or longer). It is a non-invasive procedure that can be used at home.

Cardiac Ablation

Cardiac Ablation is a minimally invasive heart procedure, which involves identifying and scarring the arrhythmia-causing heart tissue.

Palpitations And Arrhythmias

Palpitations are unpleasant sensation of one's own heartbeat.
