We support research to better understand how our genes may affect the heart s electrical activity and lead to arrhythmias.
Heart electrical problems genetic.
Being born with a heart abnormality may affect your heart s rhythm.
A disorder of the calcium channels in the heart muscle resulting in problems with electrical signalling and irregular heartbeats especially during exercise.
A genetic disorder of the heart rhythm that can cause ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac arrest.
Like a backup electrical system it reminds the heart to beat at a normal rate if it slows or stops.
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.
Heart disease can lead to abnormalities in your heart s electrical system much as a house damaged in a tornado or flood might have problems with the electrical system.
It may also cause the walls of your left ventricle to become stiff and thick which can change how electrical impulses travel through your heart.
Life after heart block just like your heart your pacemaker needs to be treated right to work well.
Problems with conduction in the heart can lead to arrhythmias that may be life threatening.
In fact damage to the electrical system of the heart is often the cause of sudden death with a heart attack even if the damage to the heart caused by the heart attack is only.
