Corticosteroids are linked to an increased risk of irregular heart beat

November 16, 2018 - atrial fibrillation, is characterized by a disorganized twitching in the atria or the upper chambers of the heart. Atrial fibrillation your heart cannot pump blood as efficiently as normal, preventing your body from receiving oxygen and nutrients normally supplied by your blood. This condition is accompanied by other symptoms, including palpitations, fatigue, and shortness of breath.

In very bad cases, atrial fibrillation causes blood to pool ...

Study provides evidence that dietary salt intake influences the health of your heart

March 18, 2019 -

For the study, a team of researchers from the University of Oulu in Finland looked at whether eating too many salty foods is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation. To do this, they followed a group of 716 middle-aged individuals for at least 19 years.

Throughout the follow-up period, 74 individuals were diagnosed with new-onset atrial fibrillation. The researchers then compared incidence rates based on estimates of people’s daily salt intake. Participants ...

Study reveals that pesticides are linked to an increased risk of heart disease

March 11, 2019 -

The study, which was published in the journal BMJ Heart, confirmed that there is a disturbing link between exposure to pesticides and metals, and the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death in the United States. A dramatic increase in risk of atrial fibrillation was also noted.Link between exposure to pesticides and heart problems

As reported by HealthLine, to establish what the effects of pesticide and metal exposure might be on ...

Anti-inflammatory drugs make your heart beat faster… and it’s not out of love

May 03, 2018 - atrial fibrillation.

Atrial fibrillation (also called AFib or AF) is a condition where a person experiences an irregular heartbeat, often described as "quivering" or "skipping beats." If the condition progress, it can result in blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications. In the U.S., nearly three million people have the condition.

In an AFib, the upper chambers of the heart (atria) beat irregularly, impeding the effective ...

“Mysterious” 50% spike in heart arrhythmia cases: 1 in 45 now at risk of stroke

May 22, 2023 - atrial fibrillation," said Prof. Sir Nilesh Samani, BHF's medical director, in comments recorded by Sky News.

(Related: Check out our earlier coverage about natural substances that can help neutralize the damage caused by covid injection spike proteins.)Corporate media says it's baffled over atrial fibrillation case increase: "likely due to better recognition and diagnosis of the condition"

Since 2013, cases of atrial fibrillation are up by ...

Daily aspirin found to increase risk of heart attack by 190%

March 26, 2017 -

Researchers examined 30,000 patients with atrial fibrillation - a condition characterized by rapid and often irregular heart beat - and found that patients who took aspirin on a daily basis were 1.9 times as likely to suffer an acute heart attack compared with those who took warfarin,  a vitamin K antagonist. "Oral anticoagulant treatment with vitamin K antagonists has been the cornerstone for the prevention of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation for ...

Predisposed to heart disease? Exercise is the best way to prevent cardiac problems

May 18, 2018 - atrial fibrillation, and heart failure.

Results revealed that the risk of heart attacks and stroke decreased with greater grip strength, more physical activity, and cardiorespiratory fitness, even in those who are predisposed to heart disease.

Participants with an intermediate genetic risk for heart disease, but had the strongest grips had a 36 percent lower risk of developing coronary heart disease, and a 46 percent lower risk for atrial fibrillation ...

Gum bacteria invade heart, trigger dangerous heart rhythm problems

May 16, 2025 - atrial fibrillation (AFib), irregular heartbeats linked to higher stroke and heart failure risks.

Researchers from Hiroshima University examined heart tissue from 68 patients with AFib who had undergone heart surgery. They discovered that patients with severe gum disease had significantly higher levels of P. gingivalis bacteria in their heart tissue, which corresponded with increased heart scarring.

"The causal relationship between periodontitis and atrial ...

Brain bleeding from use of anticoagulant increasing since the 1990s, researchers report

January 16, 2007 - atrial fibrillation," said lead author and neurologist Dr. Matthew L. Flaherty.Flaherty and colleagues from the University of Cincinnati collected information on all patients hospitalized with their first intracerebral hemorrhage during the years of 1988, 1993, 1994 and 1999 in the greater Cincinnati area. The researchers determined the annual rate of intracerebral hemorrhage associated with warfarin to be 0.8 cases per 100,000 people in 1988, but 4.4 cases per 100,000 ...
