The study, published today in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, followed participants in a study of nurses established in 1989, which surveyed more than 116,000 participants about their diets and other health habits every two years. Researchers from Indiana University, the Harvard School of Public Health, and Brigham and Women's Hospital analyzed data on 69,247 of the participants who met the requirements for their study. "Although mortality rates from heart disease in the U.S. have been in steady decline for the last four decades, women aged 35-44 have not experienced the same reduction," said Andrea K. Chomistek, ScD, a researcher from the Indiana University School of Public Health-Bloomington and lead author of the paper. "This disparity may be explained by unhealthy lifestyle choices. We wanted to find out what proportion of heart disease cases could be attributed to unhealthy habits." Healthy habits were defined … Continue reading →

It is one of the greatest innovation in medicine . . . that is . . . electric current being used as a drug to treat disorders of heart . Of course , it is not a surprising finding when we know heart is an electro mechanical organ , and electricity can be used to treat various disorders of heart by delivering it in an optimal dosage and site. Devices that help administer electric current in cardiac disease. What is the difference between cardioversion and pacing ? Cardioversion is reverting a tachycardia with a electric shock that is delivered diffusely throughout the heart This electrical wavelets traverse the focus of tachycardia and the adjoining myocardium which is called critical electrical mass (Usually reentrant) .This depolarises the cells responsible for tachycardia and extinguishes the abnormal electrical activity. Defibrillation is same as cardiversion except that it is a high energy shock and delivered without synchrony with qrs complex . In VF, we defibrillate in all others we cardiovert . What are the disadvantages of cardioversion ? Eventhough it is a very successful modality for treating cardiac arrhythmias it also has some issues.
