What is Cardiac Ablation? ❤️

Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias). Certain abnormal heart cells can send faulty electrical signals, causing the heart to beat irregularly. Ablation works by destroying the abnormal cells, helping restore normal heart rhythm.

How the procedure works:
1️⃣ Thin, flexible catheters are inserted into a blood vessel and carefully guided to the heart.
2️⃣ Electrodes on the catheter map the heart’s electrical signals to identify the source of abnormal activity.
3️⃣ Targeted energy is delivered to create scar tissue, stopping the abnormal signals.

This procedure can help improve heart rhythm and reduce symptoms associated with arrhythmias.

Trans fats, commonly found in processed and fried foods, are a particularly harmful component of an unhealthy diet and a major threat to heart health. They function as a metabolic toxin by uniquely and simultaneously damaging the body's cholesterol balance.

Their danger lies in a dual attack: they raise levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol, which contributes to the buildup of artery-clogging plaques. At the same time, they actively lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL), the "good" cholesterol responsible for removing excess cholesterol from the bloodstream. This one-two punch—increasing the harmful substance while crippling the body's natural cleaning system—severely accelerates atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). This significantly elevates the risk of coronary artery disease, heart attacks, and strokes. Due to their well-established toxicity, the removal of artificial trans fats from the food supply has become a critical global public health priority.

Did you know some people are born with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) - a heart valve with two leaflets instead of three?
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) affects more people than you might think. Awareness saves lives. Heart checkups matter.

This festive season, let's celebrate with our hearts in mind. While enjoying delicious gatherings, it's crucial to understand that overeating—especially large and heavy meals—poses an immediate and serious risk. Consuming an excessive amount of food in one sitting causes a sudden demand for increased blood flow to aid digestion, placing immense strain on the cardiovascular system. This can lead to a dangerous spike in blood pressure and heart rate. For individuals with existing, even unknown, heart conditions, this acute stress can trigger a heart attack. The risk is real and significant during times of indulgent feasting.

So, savor the flavors joyfully but wisely. Staying mindful allows you to fully enjoy the celebrations without overwhelming your heart.

As we gather to celebrate this festive season, let us embrace a spirit of mindful enjoyment. While festive toasts are a cherished tradition, we encourage a conscious approach to consumption. Moderation allows us to fully engage with the warmth of good company while making a proactive choice for our long-term well-being.

Significant cardiovascular research indicates that the pattern of episodic heavy drinking—commonly known as binging—poses acute and cumulative risks to heart health, including elevated blood pressure, arrhythmias, and increased strain on the cardiovascular system.

We extend our very best wishes to you and yours for a peaceful, joyful, and safe holiday season. May your Christmas be merry and your New Year be filled with health and happiness.

Red yeast rice is a traditional fermented food supplement primarily used for its ability to lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol, as it naturally produces a compound identical to the prescription drug lovastatin.

However, it carries significant risks, including potential side effects like muscle pain and liver issues, similar to statin medications. Furthermore, quality control is a major concern, as some supplements may be contaminated with citrinin, a kidney toxin, and their potency can vary widely between products.

Therefore, it is essential to use red yeast rice with appropriate medical supervision.

"Why is my blood pressure always high during doctor consultations?

This common occurrence, known as 'white coat hypertension,' involves a temporary spike in your readings triggered by the anxiety or stress of being in a clinical environment. It's a physiological reaction that can cause your heart to beat faster and your arteries to constrict. However, it should be carefully evaluated, as some studies suggest it may indicate an increased risk for developing true, sustained hypertension in the future. The gold standard for diagnosis is 24-hour ambulatory monitoring, which tracks your pressure throughout your normal day.

Discussing this pattern with your doctor is essential. It allows them to distinguish this temporary response from chronic hypertension, preventing unnecessary medication and ensuring an accurate, personalized plan for monitoring and maintaining your long-term cardiovascular health."

😴 Ever Wonder What Really Happens While You Sleep?

Here’s what we can learn from a sleep study:
📍 1. Actigraphy (Movement Tracking)
📍 2. Vital Signs Monitoring
• Blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂)
• Pulse rate
📍 3. Sleep Quality Assessment
📍 4. Autonomic Nervous System Response

✨ A sleep study can reveal what your body has been trying to tell you.
If you’re struggling with tiredness, snoring, or poor sleep, this may be the key to understanding why.

Have you observed soft, yellow plaques located around someone's eyelids?

These lesions, known as xanthelasma palpebrarum, are the most common form of xanthoma. Clinically, they present as benign, cholesterol-rich deposits within the skin. However, their presence carries significant diagnostic importance as a frequent cutaneous marker of underlying dyslipidemia—particularly elevated LDL cholesterol and/or low HDL cholesterol. Epidemiological studies indicate that approximately 50% of individuals with xanthelasma exhibit abnormal lipid profiles.

Consequently, the identification of xanthelasma should raise clinical suspicion for an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. It is imperative to regard these lesions as an indication for further cardiovascular risk stratification. The recommended course of action is a comprehensive clinical evaluation, including a fasting lipid panel, to guide appropriate management and mitigate long-term cardiovascular risk.
