The fact that very athletic people suddenly end up in the hospital with heart problems probably shocks people more than anything in the health world. Normally, people are taught that exercise, eating a fat-free and non-processed diet, and good nutrition produce good heart health. So, when people who clearly follow all of these rules still end up in the emergency room with an irregular heartbeat or heart pattern, it doesn’t make sense. That then becomes the job of a heart doctor specialist to figure out before the problem gets worse.
Why Do Athletic People Have Heart Problems? The fact that very athletic people suddenly end up in the hospital with heart problems probably shocks people more than anything in the health world. Normally, people are taught that exercise, eating a fat-free and non-processed diet, and good nutrition produce good heart health. So, when people who clearly follow all of these rules still end up in the emergency room with an irregular heartbeat or heart pattern, it doesn’t make sense. That then becomes the job of a heart doctor specialist to figure out before the problem gets worse. Trained Doctors Continue to See Athletic Patients Coming In As a heart doctor himself, Ian Weisberg has seen case after case with an otherwise very fit, athletic patient being taken down by some kind of heart fluttering. It triggers dizziness, loss of balance, a sense of the heart struggling to work, and the patient suddenly needs help. It’s a serious condition; the irregular beat can end up leading to other problems, such a stroke or heart failure and, in the long term, dementia. A New Approach to Solving Heart Arrhythmia New treatments are now being applied for these scenarios in the form of pulsed field ablation. This treatment approach essentially gives the patient minute, tiny pulses that send electrical charges into the heart. Doing so helps apply a surgical destruction of the heart tissue that has become the culprit of the patient’s heart arrhythmia. It’s not very invasive at all, and the entire treatment process is completed in about an hour or sometimes less. The results of pulsed field ablation have been seen as very positive. Cases are showing recovery, the procedure only takes a few seconds’ time, and the recovery window is very short. It has been a game-changer in the treatment of heart fluttering conditions caused by arrhythmia. A Viable Answer for Confused Athletes The new approach helps calm down a growing fear among athletes, particularly runners and bikers with extended cardiac stress being normal in their sport's performance needs. Many patients have been very pleased with the results of the new electrical charge treatment, getting back on their feet quickly and definitely feeling healthy again. Given the alternative of pacemakers, defibrillators and drugs, patients are definitely receptive to a short, quick-results treatment that works without any further conditions, pharmaceuticals or implants being required. However, because this approach is still new, many in the medical field are watching it long-term to see how things play out.
