Myth: You’ll always feel symptoms if your heart is at risk.
Fact: Many conditions, like high blood pressure or arrhythmias, can be silent.
Early check-ups save lives!
#HeartHealthMyths#CASSA#ArrhythmiaAwareness
Ventricular #Arrhythmias: abnormal rhythms from the heart’s lower chambers. 💙
VF: ventricles quiver → blood stops (life-threatening)
VT: fast, regular beats → can lead to VF
PVCs: extra beats → usually harmless
Seek medical advice if symptoms appear.
#CASSA#HeartHealth
Supraventricular Arrhythmias: fast rhythms starting in the atria or AV node. 💙
Common types: AF (irregular & risky), Atrial Flutter (regular but fast), PSVT (sudden bursts, usually safe), PACs (extra beats, usually harmless).

The whistle blows. ⚽
The crowd roars.
Your heart races.
That’s normal during the World Cup. But if your heart races, skips, or flutters at rest, don’t ignore it.
Check your pulse. A steady rhythm matters. ❤️

Myth: Only older people get arrhythmias.
Fact: Arrhythmias can affect people of any age.
Knowing the signs matters, no matter how old you are.

It’s #ArrhythmiaMonday ❤️
Arrhythmias can be fast (tachycardia), slow (bradycardia), or irregular - and may start in different parts of the heart, including the upper or lower chambers.
#ArrhythmiaAwareness#HeartHealth#CASSA
Managing arrhythmias often means making lifestyle changes.
Quit smoking, limit alcohol and caffeine, avoid triggers, check medication labels, and reduce stress, always with guidance from your doctor.

What is an arrhythmia? ❤️
It’s an abnormal heartbeat caused by disrupted electrical signals in the heart. This can make the heart beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly.
