TV recruits rogue to rival Greengrass". The Daily Telegraph. 19 June 2001 . Retrieved 26 March 2009. Some medicines and supplements. Some prescription medicines and certain cough and cold treatments can cause arrhythmias. Atrial flutter. Atrial flutter is similar to AFib, but the heartbeats are more organized. Atrial flutter also is linked to stroke. In patients with symptomatic Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, medications or ablation may be needed to control paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT).

But some things can change how electrical signals travel through the heart and cause arrhythmias. They include: How the heart works. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health-topics/how-heart-works. Accessed June 13, 2023.A heart rate below 60 beats a minute is considered bradycardia. But a low resting heart rate doesn't always mean there's a problem. If you're physically fit, your heart may be able to pump enough blood to the body with less than 60 beats a minute. Electrolyte imbalance. Substances in the blood called electrolytes help trigger and send electrical signals in the heart. Potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium are examples of electrolytes. If the body's electrolytes are too low or too high, it may interfere with heart signaling and lead to irregular heartbeats. Normally, your heart contracts and relaxes to a regular beat. In AFib, the upper chambers of the heart, or the atria, beat irregularly. Because not enough blood is being pumped out of the atria, blood pools in the area. The pooled blood can clot – which can be extremely dangerous.

The disruption results in a faster than normal heart rate. This rapid heartbeat keeps the heart’s chambers from filling completely between contractions, which may compromise blood flow to the rest of the body. Risk factors for Atrial or SVT Caffeine, nicotine or illegal drug use. Stimulants can cause the heart to beat faster and may lead to the development of more-serious arrhythmias. Illegal drugs, such as amphetamines and cocaine, may greatly affect the heart. Some may cause sudden death due to ventricular fibrillation. Excessive alcohol use. Drinking too much alcohol can affect electrical signaling in the heart. This can increase the chance of developing atrial fibrillation.Written by American Heart Association editorial staff and reviewed by science and medicine advisors.

Winchester is a resident of Berkshire County, Massachusetts. In a healthy heart, this heart signaling process usually goes smoothly, resulting in a resting heart rate of 60 to 100 beats a minute.

If you have atrial or SVT that occurs once in a while, you may not need treatment if you don’t have symptoms or other heart problems.Some people with atrial or supraventricular tachycardia may have no symptoms. Others may experience: While on field assignment, Winchester came across a copy of Coronation Everest by James Morris, a book that gave a detailed account of the 1953 expedition that resulted in the first ever successful ascent of Mount Everest. The book inspired Winchester to become a writer, and so he sought advice from the book author by mail. Morris convinced Winchester to give up geology and get a job as a newspaper writer. Lee R.

It was in 1831 that Smith, (now known as the father of the modern geology) was awarded the Geological Society of London’s best award and King William IV assured him of a lifetime pension.
