Stark reminder not to take #HeartHealth for granted. After a couple of nights on the tiles last weekend, my body went into #AFib / #AtrialFibrillation. Something it's not done in ages. So I've not been able to #run and have been back on the #BetaBlockers. Stupid ageing body. It's so finely calibrated and turns out I can't party like I used to without consequences. So have had the whole week off and am going to very gently attempt #ParkRun this morning. The #running is the only thing that gets it under control, but my body won't allow me to run until I get my heart rate down! Normally takes a minute. Fellas.... Look after yourselves and don't take your #health for granted. Because it's a pain in the ass when you're in a constant battle for it.

Supermarket trolley sensors could help to identify risk of stroke, say scientists

'Study with 2,155 participants at Sainsbury’s stores leads to atrial fibrillation diagnosis for 39 people unaware they had condition'

An Apple Watch can tell you quicker, but the more people reached the better.

Thanks #apple I’m getting this early warning of #atrialfibrillation checked out.

That is one TINY 6-axis EKG monitor.

Well, not ever going to be away from a heart trace anymore if I feel something weird going on, heh.

#AtrialFibrillation #afib #arrhythmia

Ordered a pocket EKG monitor (KardiaMobile 6L). Time to start watching sinus rhythm regularly after three #AFib incidents this year.

Yay, long COVID. At least it's well-regulated by medication right now.

Adenosine has a wide range of clinical applications & it is used to treat a variety of conditions such as supraventricular #tachycardia and #AtrialFibrillation, chronic ischemic heart disease, #sleep disorders, and #stroke. Adenosine is also being studied in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and #age-related diseases, and is being used as a #neuroprotectant agent. Adenosine is a promising agent in the development of #therapeutic strategies for a wide range range of conditions.

I was surprised to learn this week that, based on recent research, fish oil is no longer recommended across the board for heart health. This is because in some percentage of people it significantly raises the risk of atrial fibrillation.

So, check with your doctor if you're already taking or considering taking fish oil.
