Shot of alcohol can help an irregular heartbeat

For decades, doctors and researchers have puzzled over a fundamental heart rhythm mystery: why do women have faster heartbeats while men are more susceptible to developing irregular rhythms like atrial fibrillation (AFib).

A tiny pacemaker is paired with a small, soft, flexible wearable patch that sits on the patient's chest. The wearable patch detects irregular heartbeats and automatically emits pulses of light.

Researchers have found that low to moderate alcohol use by pregnant patients may contribute to subtle changes in their babies' prenatal development.

Panic attacks, which are frequent and unexpected symptoms experienced by patients with panic disorder, include overwhelming fear, sweaty palms, shortness of breath, and a rapid heartbeat. It may be possible to develop more potent treatments for panic disorder by mapping out the brain's areas, neurons, and connections that mediate these panic episodes.

Cardiologists and radiation oncologists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis pioneered the use of radiation therapy, a cancer-fighting technique, to treat patients with ventricular tachycardia, a potentially fatal abnormal heartbeat.

A new signalling mechanism associated with the development of ventricular fibrillation, a kind of arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat, has been uncovered in a study headed by Guadalupe Sabio and Jose Jalife at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) in Madrid.

A new study described the understanding of atrial fibrillation seen in stroke patients. According to the study, atrial fibrillation discovered after a stroke is not the same as irregular heartbeats known prior to the stroke.

Inconsistent sleep habits, according to recent research, are connected to dangerous microbes in your gut.

According to new research, inconsistent sleep habits are linked to hazardous microorganisms in your gut. The study, published today in The European Journal of Nutrition.

This study examined the relationship between individual and combination healthy lifestyle characteristics and the risk of all-cause and cause-specific death among 104,142 osteoarthritis patients using data from the UK Biobank.
