Ectopic Heart Beats Explained | A Common Cause of Palpitations
This Heart Matters video delves into ectopic heartbeats, a common cause of palpitations. Ectopic beats are extra heartbeats originating from the heart's top chambers (atria) or bottom chambers (ventricles). These irregular beats can disrupt the heart's normal rhythm. We explore why these extra beats occur, discussing common reasons such as stress, caffeine, and underlying heart conditions. Join us to understand how ectopic heartbeats arise and their impact on heart health.

    This happened to me immediately after stents (2) placement in the LAD due to blockage heart attack. The left main blocked 100% after the first procedure, my cardiologist said that I had a tremendous ability to clot. Whatever. I’m grateful he saved my life, take aspiring and clopidrogel meds since March 2017.

    32 to 35 bpm on average for my resting heart rate. Seen it go to 28 before. I'm 32 years old, been doing physical jobs my whole life and now work for myself doing renovations. I enjoy running 2-3 times a week, weight lifting since high school, naturally muscular, low body fat year round without trying. My father was the same with low reting heart rate. He's now 78 and still has a low resting below 40bpm although he did have a couple stints put in his arteries due to high blockage about 15 years ago now. I recently did a sleep study and found out I have sleep apnea of 36 AHI which is considered severe. Definitely worth looking into it for anyone with low resting heart rate as there seems to be some correlations.

    I was diagnosed with heart failure in November 2023. I had a triple heart bypass in 2013 and it is thought that damage to the heart back then has increased over the last 11 years. After my CABG in follow-up, my ejection fraction was 60%. In November 2023, when I was experiencing breathlessness on only slight exertion, the EF was measured at 25 - 35%. The hospital cardiologist put me on a daily regimen of medications, which have improved my condition considerably. These are: Dapagliflozin, Entresto, Furosemide, Eplerenone, and Bisoprolol. However, I had been taking Bisoprolol and before that Atenolol for many years. In addition to the meds listed, I also take Apixaban and Rosuvastatin. I'm 78, male, living in England, and I'm just about to mow the back lawn.

    So Professor, no truth to the old tale that my Granny told me when I was a kid. She said that every person's heart is only allocated a certain number of heartbeats for a lifetime, once those beats are expended then that life ends. Every extra "ectopic" beat would use up a finite resource. But of course it was just a tale, maybe just her way of explaining people's passing on.

    My blood test results were excellent. At 66, I've followed a Mediterranean diet for the past 26 years. My cardiologist assures me I'm in good health. I dedicate 10 hours a week to cycling and rowing. I often joke with my wife that if I were to die of a heart attack while cycling or rowing, she should throw the party of her life. And when my friends ask about my doctor, I say it's in the garage and runs on two pedals.

    Thank you, thank you!! I got a CAC and it came back just over 2000. I had been on statins for 3 years and had recently discontinued them due to side effects and drilling down about the absolute effectiveness of statins. I made a personal choice not to take statin any longer. My cardiologist about went ballistic. So, he said I want you to do a nuclear stress test and a carotid US. I did and passed both tests. No restrictions in the carotids. By the way I am 72, asymptomatic. I paid out of pocket for the advanced lipoprotein panel. Triglycerides: 46, Apo(a): <10, ApoB: 98, LDL pattern: A, LDL size: 225, CHOL/HDLC RATIO: 3.3. Those results don't seem to alarm me and I wanted to share them with my cardiologist. He would not even look at them stating: "your LDL is 130 that's all I need to know----you need a statin." I disagreed and we parted ways.

    Great video Dr. I’m on Beta Blockers at 48y after discovery of a larger Myocardial Bridge causing significant Angina. Wondering if you could do a video about Myocardial Bridges but specifically those that and why they cause issues. Some great research papers coming from Stanford and Cleveland regarding testing and the success of unroofing surgery. Seems that some Cardiologists believe these are rather benign and dismiss a bridge causing issues, whilst others acknowledge in some patients they do cause issues which need to be addressed. What are your thoughts? Have you seen many issues from bridges yourself? Are there any specialists/experts regarding bridges and unroofing in Sydney I should be talking to that perform the right tests and procedures? The last few months have been pretty debilitating, hoping the Beta Blockers reverse my rapid decline.

    You say that statins are essential in both primary and secondary prevention. Can you cite published studies with absolute risk numbers? I haven’t seen benefits greater than a few percentage points when you look at absolute numbers. The NNT of statin for secondary prevention is 39.
