Fluttering of your heart is not always a sign of
love, nor is skipping of a beat. The fluttering could be a sign that you need
to pay attention to your heart. So what if your health parameters are
more or less fine, but if your heart is not beating right, it is reason enough
to see a doctor. Dr. Vanita Arora, the best cardiologist in India
suggests that Arrhythmias, also called irregular heartbeats, fluttering,
palpitations, and so on, can put you in grave danger, even causing a
sudden cardiac arrest. Unfortunately, in India, we do not have a
national registry for cardiac deaths, so it is difficult to predict the number
of people dying due to SCDs. But a look at the macro factors removes any doubt
whether Indians are at the brink of cardiac emergency. An Indian study of cardiacelectrophysiologists research in the year 2016 showed cardiovascular
diseases (CVD) kill 1.7 million Indians every year.
What is abnormal beating of
the heart?
Our heart beats regularly and non-stop while we are
alive. It keeps on pumping blood — even when we suffer a heart attack, the
pumping of blood does not stop. Our normal heart-beating rhythm is around 60 to
100 beats per minute when the body is at rest. The rhythm can vary if a person
does some extra physical work or is under the effect of some emotional or
psychological stimulus. But arrhythmia, a speciality of cardiacelectrophysiologists in India, is much different — it is the change in our
normal heartbeat that is triggered by an alteration in the sequence of the
electric impulses our heart receives. If a person is suffering from this
condition, it is best advised to seek the help of the best cardiologist inIndia for medical treatment.
Palpitations triggering cardiac arrest
When the heart is not
functioning properly for a prolonged period, it gives rise to a situation that
may lead to sudden cardiac arrest, which is different from a heart attack. A
sudden cardiac arrest means that the heart has suddenly stopped
functioning due to irregularity of electric impulses. A sudden cardiac
arrest leads to almost instantaneous death. A person who is suffering from
cardiac arrhythmia for a long time is at a high risk of cardiac arrest
as the electric system of the person is not functioning properly. Some of the
common symptoms of various forms of irregular heart beat include
breathlessness, dizziness, fluttering in the chest or irregular heartbeats even
in normal circumstances. Other symptoms include chest pain, palpitations,
sweating, and confusion. In case the symptoms are detected, the patient should
be taken to a cardiologist or a cardiac electrophysiologist doctor.
A proper check-up from a cardiacelectrophysiologist will help determine whether arrhythmia is dangerous or
not. With due medications, increased physical activity, certain dietary
changes, periodic monitoring of pulse, and managing risk factors can ensure a
person continues to live with a healthy heart.
