Heart rhythm monitoring - How are abnormal rhythms detected?

An abnormal heart rhythm, known medically as an arrhythmia, is a condition where the heart beats too fast, too slowly, or in an irregular pattern. Our heart rhythm is usually controlled by electrical signals that coordinate the pumping action of the heart, ensuring blood is distributed efficiently around the body. However, when these signals are disrupted, arrhythmias can occur, potentially leading to symptoms and complications. This article will help you understand more about abnormal heart rhythms, the different types, causes, and when to seek medical attention.

Microvascular angina: what you didn't know

Microvascular angina is intense chest pain, caused by reduced oxygen-rich blood flow. However, it differs from standard anginas in that the blood flow is obstructed within the small blood vessels in the heart’s muscles, rather than the major arteries. In standard angina, chest pain will occur as the heart is under stress when engaging in strenuous activities like running or climbing, but with microvascular angina, the pain is unpredictable and can be triggered even whilst resting or relaxing. If the root of the issue isn’t discovered and the heart continues to not receive sufficient oxygen, it can eventually trigger a heart attack.
