Heart Failure To Heart Attacks: Different Causes of Rapid Heart Beating And Its Risks
What are the different causes of rapid heart beating? Dr. Bhupendra Singh, Consultant Cardiology, Manipal Hospitals, Ghaziabad explains it all.
The heart is a muscular organ located behind the breastbone, slightly to the left. It is about the size of a fist. It is divided into four chambers:
upper two blood receiving chambers are called left and right atria
lower two blood discharging chambers are called left and right ventricles
Function
The heart receives blood from various parts of the body through veins and pumps blood to the whole body through arteries. Blood flow through the heart is unidirectional: atria à ventricles à pulmonary artery and aorta. Two valves (AV valves) connect the atria to the ventricles. They prevent backflow of blood from ventricles to the atria. Oxygen-deficient blood enters the right atrium and passes to the right ventricle. The heart then pumps it into the lungs where it receives oxygen. Oxygenated-rich blood then returns to the left atrium and passes to the left ventricle. The heart pumps out this oxygen-rich blood to the whole body. Blood to the heart is supplied by coronary arteries.
Contraction and relaxation of heart muscles is initiated and coordinated by the electrical conduction system of the heart.At rest, the heart contracts in the ranges from 60-100 beats per minute.
There are more than 60 different forms of heart disease. The most common ones are:
• Coronary artery disease - affects or damages arteries that supply blood to the heart
• Angina pectoris - pain, tightness and discomfort in the chest region when the heart does not receive enough blood due to narrowed coronary arteries
• Cardiomyopathy - weakened heart muscle due to thickening and/or stiffening
• Congenital heart disease - defect present in the heart at the time of birth
• Congestive heart failure - heart is unable to pump blood throughout the body effectively
• Arrhythmia - irregular heartbeat due to improper conduction of electric impulses in the heart
• Myocardial infarction (heart attack): death of part of the heart muscle due to blocked blood supply
• Myocarditis and pericarditis: inflammation of heart tissue due to infection
• Heart valve disease - narrowing of heart valve or prevention of full closure of valve
Tests
Diseases of the heart are diagnosed with listening to the heart-sounds with a stethoscope, blood tests, X-ray, ECG, echocardiogram, stress test, catheterization, ultrasound, etc.
Treatments
Lifestyle changes, diet and medication form a major part of treatment of heart disease. Other options are angioplasty, stenting, ablation, percutaneous coronary intervention, defibrillation, pacemaker and surgical interventions like bypass surgery, open heart surgery, heart transplant, etc.

udden cardiac arrest is a life-threatening condition in which your heart comes to a standstill. Your heart isn't pumping blood anymore. Within minutes, this puts your organs and whole body at risk of death. When you have a sudden cardiac arrest, your body's organs can't receive any oxygen. Without immediate help to get oxygen to your brain and other vital organs, this is fatal. Sudden cardiac arrest has many risk factors, especially coronary heart disease.

For a heart attack, chest pain or discomfort is the most common symptom for everyone.
The most common neurological consequence of cardiac arrest is known as hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. This type of injury, which is a leading cause of significant disability or death following resuscitation, is named for the factor that triggers it (lack of oxygen or hypoxia) and its impact on the cells, known as ischemia. In some cases, these challenges are related to brain injury sustained during the post-cardiac arrest period, where others stem from the initial cause of the cardiac arrest itself, such as a traumatic accident.
