Cardiac Arrhythmia : A warning sign that may lead to heart failure

The heart is an essential organ that works tirelessly all the time. On average, the heart beats around 100,000 times a day. Nowadays, heart disease is becoming increasingly common and close to us. We often hear news of people we know, or those close to us, passing away due to heart disease, or instances of athletes collapsing during competitions caused by irregular heartbeats. Cardiac arrhythmia is considered a type of heart disease that is frequently mentioned today. An irregular heartbeat causes abnormal heart contractions. If severe and left untreated, it can lead to heart failure. Therefore, taking care of heart health is extremely important and should not be neglected.

Understanding Heart Disease Knowing it First, Treating it Timely, and Preventing it

“Heart disease” is a comprehensive term encompassing various cardiac abnormalities, resulting in compromised cardiac function. This pathological condition leads to insufficient perfusion of organs, tissues, and cells, thereby impacting multiple physiological systems. While coronary artery disease is the quintessential association with heart disease, it stands as the foremost cause of mortality with continually escalating rates. However, beyond coronary heart disease, heart disease comprises diverse conditions, each characterized by unique symptoms and etiologies. These conditions include: Congenital heart disease, prevalent among pediatric populations. Coronary artery disease, commonly affecting the geriatric demographic. Heart valve disease. Arrhythmias, or cardiac arrhythmias, which may manifest at any age, including among athletes or individuals exhibiting physical fitness. The severity and potential complications of each heart disease entity vary contingent on the underlying causative factors. In Thailand, the mortality rate attributable to heart disease is on a persistent rise. Hence, if you possess risk factors or exhibit symptoms suggestive of heart disease, prompt consultation with a cardiologist is imperative.
