palpitations: quand le cœur disjoncte. Signes, causes et traitements

Palpitations are caused by abnormal heart rhythms. These abnormalities stem from disturbances in the heart's electrical activity. After explaining these cardiac electrical phenomena, the various disorders, such as extrasystoles and tachycardia, are analyzed. The causes of palpitations and heart rhythm disturbances can be cardiac or non-cardiac in origin. For example, strong emotions can be responsible. Diagnosis relies primarily on an electrocardiogram (ECG), but smartwatches can be helpful. Prevention involves avoiding stimulants such as tobacco and alcohol. Treatment may benefit from certain herbs or antiarrhythmic medications. #medicine #healthandlifestyle #palpitations 00:00 Introduction 01:32 The heart and its electrical activity 03:12 Causes of palpitations 05:10 When to consult a doctor? 06:56 Prevention and treatments
