Abnormal Heart Rhythm & Heart Failure: Patient Guide

Описание: How do abnormal heart rhythms lead to heart failure? Dr. Tangiisuran, a clinical pharmacy lecturer and research fellow from Harvard, explains the connection in this video for patients, caregivers, and healthcare students. Learn how arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation disrupt the heart’s pumping, increasing the risk of heart failure. This video is part of our Heart Failure Education Series for Patients, Caregivers, & Healthcare Students, offering evidence-based insights to understand and manage HF risks.

Subtopic: What Causes Heart Failure: Abnormal Heart Rhythm
In this video, we’ll explore how abnormal heart rhythms cause heart failure. Abnormal heart rhythms, or arrhythmias, like atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia, disrupt the heart’s normal pumping cycle. When the heart beats too fast, too slow, or irregularly, it can’t pump blood efficiently, leading to strain on the heart muscle. Over time, this can weaken the heart, causing heart failure. Arrhythmias can be triggered by underlying conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, or electrolyte imbalances. For healthcare students, we’ll discuss how atrial fibrillation reduces cardiac output and increases heart failure risk. Managing arrhythmias with medications or procedures like ablation can help. Always consult your doctor for guidance.
