4:32 am
venture go transports blood to the lungs for oxygen uptake. the oxygen rich blood enters the larger left ventricle and is pumped from there to the entire body. the atria ensure a constant in flow and stabilize the pressure in the heart as but fits of super organ, the heart is very muscular. the structure of its high endurance muscle tissue is unique in the body. and like other muscles, the heart muscle stimulates itself and the speeds on its own. but other organs tried to get in on the act and speed up or slow down. it's, we're them by way of nerve impulses or hormones being on duty. 247 puts the heart under pressure literally. and the higher the blood pressure, the heart of the heart has to pump. our lifestyle is a major influence on blood pressure and to heart health. lack of exercise, alcohol,
4:33 am
nicotine and stress can all take care told. in the long run that can play strain on the heart muscle and blood vessels, which can lead to a wide range of problems including a stroke or heart attack. but our heart doesn't give up that easily. perhaps it's most important, superpower, is it stem? and if we take good care of our heart, it can beat over 3000000000 times in a lifetime, a record number compared to other metals. and so even after putting it's unusual night shift, it always starts the day full of energy, our heart, a super oregon. we can be proud for simple rules can help you keep your heart healthy for the long haul. avoid stress, it raises your blood pressure and pulse and triggers inflammatory processes that damage your heart. i don't smoke or stop if you already do smokers have

4:35 am
says the sino atrial node. it releases electrical impulses. they spread via the atrial ventricular or a v note. ringback this causes the heart to beat and a regular made them. but, and you'll 100 several months case. this conduction did not work properly. the condition is called an a v block. heartbeat's. your regularly kind could stop at any time. when this happens, only a pace maker can restore normal rhythm. the doctor examined her heart and found the 1st clue as to the origin of the unusual symptoms. the subject via the initial observation revealed that there had been a slight diffusion, which was just minimal fun, but which could have possibly indicated an inflammation of the power, cardia. and the heart muscle most gets notice on the size of for like a few weeks earlier, your honda, some of mine had suddenly felt weaker than she used to. she was barely able to work, but it still didn't worry her the she hoped that her
4:36 am
energy levels would bounce back. but soon afterwards, another symptom appears. smack to look for several weeks. i noticed that my heart was fluttering, and i always felt my chest here and thought, oh somehow it was really fluttering and fluttering a lot. worried she went to her family doctor, who performed an e. c. g and told her that her heart was completely out of sync, a life threatening emergency. johan at simon was sent straight to the hospital because of her ruth, me up remained a mystery even for her doctor is danielle hahn at some. i'm on provided the vital clue is, can i know someone who had a pace maker and years later, he found out that he'd have line to see this and that it had effected? it's hard and that's why he was given the peacemaker. the sizes. and i had that in my head and thought i should mention it to him. i had to tell them that i'd had
4:37 am
a tick bite a few months earlier and had also had symptoms for which i haven't been treated. and who knows, maybe that had something to do with it. like it's only of us some it's $22.00 days after walking in the woods, you on it. so my mom found a tech on her back 500 feet or 2 weeks later, i noticed that the spot hurt and have that. i took a look at it estimates we didn't really see much at 1st, but the next day it was red and i felt sick. i had a fever, a headache and nausea home cups. now it's kind of the 34 year old went to her family doctor, but she didn't identified the red spot as a kind of expanding rash, also known as a risk of a migrants. it was an unfortunate oversight because the ticket might have transmitted the more really bacteria overtime, those bacteria spread through the entire body, often affecting the joints or nerves.
4:38 am
in rare cases, the pathogens reach the heart and effect the heart muscle. that in turn causes an ex saturated inflammatory reaction. the result, the signal transmission is disrupted, and the heart rhythm is affected when it's called line corditis and kind of car died us or information of the heart is extremely rare. i've only seen it rarely in my career. no busy rheumatologist scan, cal 1st often sees patients who are suffering from the consequences of lyme disease, discovered to late after a tooth bite, he advises removing the tech as quickly as possible and observing the area closely . embrace them, colleen, it's best to marketing your calendar. check it every now and then even after 2 or 3 weeks. and i always recommend checking in daylight because rash has caused like chicks can be so settled that you sometimes can see it in artificial light. so
4:39 am
we're symptoms caused by mind, disease, constantine chaplain, ordered an antibody test, but it takes weeks to get the results. that's why he prescribes antibiotics immediately. it's the only way to stop the infection from getting worse. after 7 days and e c. g showed that her heart was beating in a steady prism again. she didn't need a pace maker after all been fit. i'm healthy. i have energy. i can really do anything i want to. again, i still walk in the woods. i won't give that up, but i think i'm going to put a lot more emphasis on checking my entire body afterwards to make sure there are no text anywhere. design is kind of take a voice. 3 weeks later, the lab confirm the diagnosis line disease you 100 some i'm on was home from the hospital by then. and fortunately, her heart did not suffer any permanent damage. the.

the most dangerous kind of cardiac complication is a heart attack. it occurs when blood vessels are constricted or blocked completely . if it isn't treated quickly, part tissue dies due to a lack of oxygen. men have more a heart attacks, but women die from them more often. the reason when having one women often feel abdominal or back pain, short of breath or nausea is symptoms. doctors don't always recognize as heart related. this is because during their studies, physicians often only learned vents sometimes like severe chest or arm pain, overwhelming fear and fainting. these signs are considered typical, but they don't always signal heart attack on to and boats. it is a soccer striker. the fact that he can watch a soccer game today is not a given. in august 2023, you suddenly collapsed during training of some kind of i didn't notice anything. i didn't feel anything as incomplete was
4:41 am
a normal jane. i went through training and it just happened. i know, and so i should be all mites in directive. we put him straight into the recovery position on her mind, but then we saw that he was getting paler and started panting on us and then most of the doctor to help. when the emergency doctor said chest compressions. as the entered the cloud, i realized that it wasn't a dizzy spell, but that it was something really, really serious because of the costs. at the hospital, the 28 year old was taken straight to the card, yet cancel out. the doctors wants to figure out as quickly as possible why he was in cardiac arrest. they suspected a heart attack and carried out imaging of his coronary arteries. as guns, all of his car in every arteries looked good, no constriction, no blockage. we wondered, why does he have his science of a heart attack, but no correspondent, changes in his current every vessels in the us. now and the next thing we thought
4:42 am
of was broken heart syndrome. we carried out imaging on his left ventricle and confirmed sec. diagnosis will just ignore sophisticated different in broken heart syndrome or stress cardiomyopathy. the left ventricle is pumping function, is usually impaired. the apex is usually dilated, like a balloon. a healthy left ventricle looks different. it's v shaped and pumps blood through the order to the rest of the body. in a broken heart syndrome, the left ventricle looks like a japanese octopus trapped called a taco tubal. the disease was 1st described in japan in the 19 ninety's. this is why doctors also refer to a broken heart syndrome as taco to po syndrome. this pole, the broken heart syndrome presents like a quote unquote normal heart attacks of patients of sudden severe chest pain, sudden shortness of grad school. we're older people in particular,
4:43 am
keel over and faint, and at 1st we can't tell the difference between a normal heart attack and broken heart syndrome you patients, we make this distinction during a cardiac catheterization, comes with a diesel and decide impress. during use categorized hard exam, doctor's diagnosed or i'm both sick with broken heart syndrome to him must not. and his team also found that he had a congenital disease of the heart muscle, which he wasn't aware of. when he arrived here at the hospital, of course, we wondered how we could have gone into ventricular fibrillation. we found to causes congenital heart muscle disease but also physical stress that led to broken heart syndrome will fuel tank. broken heart syndrome often doesn't have any identifiable trigger, as was the case with auto and bowed sick. but emotional stress often plays a role. the need looks like from physical stress, as we found in the case of mr. i'm voting emotional stress can also trigger broken
4:44 am
heart syndrome dots that could be things like the unexpected death of a partner or a beloved cat being run over in front of the house. or with the single volcanic eruption, even if only on television. so along side physical stress, emotional stress can also lead to broken hearts in drugs and whole field. broken heart syndrome is treated in the same way as heart failure. beta blockers inhibits the effective stress hormones. inhibitors are used to relieve strain on the heart. if the patient is suffering from fluid overload, there prescribed dire red x. the entre employed sick responded well to treatment. but he'll have to wait a bit before he can go back to soccer training. he's in good spirits, so because it looks like he's on the road to a full recovery. the most heart disease strikes people in middle age or later. but every year, almost one and
4:45 am
a half 1000000 babies worldwide are born with congenital heart, defense, 90 percent of them in low income countries. many of these children eventually die from their conditions, either as babies or later due to the consequences they have in industrialized countries. nearly all such children reach adulthood because modern surgical techniques can repair. what's wrong. monique is 2 years old and had heart surgery 2 months ago. dr hall's of constantine is 13 and also has regular medical checkouts. they all have a congenital heart defect like melts index, and now he got and constantine around one point. $5000000.00 babies worldwide are born with a heart defect every year. many of them have heart surgery, s babies a busy time of the day before. so we often see the patient several times and when
4:46 am
they're 20 and tell us about their lives. and he thinks they're just like any young person, we're really happy about that. and then we know what we're doing here is important to, especially on the highest and modern interventions can save the lives of most young hard patients nowadays around 95 percent reach adulthood and have a good quality of life. it's a huge step forward. there are different kinds of hard defects, or heart has to atria and to ventricles. sometimes the main blood vessels are reversed or have blockages. author heart defects, effect the bones or involve holes between the ventricles or the atria is venus and arterial blood mix isn't the chambers that creates problems with the oxygen supply . today, many congenital heart defects are diagnosed early in life. a diagnosis can be made very early in the case of complex heart defects early means in the wound, although it has to be said that some heart effects only develop during pregnancy
4:47 am
because heart defect was also diagnose before birth. it's one of the most complex of all type of plastic, right? hurt syndrome, or h r h s. you know, we were shocked the shocks, not cheapest. i'm attempting. we'd never heard about it before. so we researched. people tried to figure out what it meant and what the problem known as was possible to speak to my mom. in this congenital heart defect, only one venture goal is fully developed, venus and arterial blood mixed, and the patient can't survive without surgery. and hypo plastic left heart syndrome or h l h s. the left ventricle is under developed in h r h as the right ventricle under development. because 1st surgery took place when she was just 9 days old. her heart was reconstructed in 3 major surgeries before her 2nd birth thing. in the end, the functional side of the part took over the supplying of the circulatory system.
4:48 am
veins and arterial blood were separated and her blood oxygen levels ordinarily normal. now it's alexson is one of the 1st patients who receive this form of heart surgery. a still have to get regular checkups because there can be later complications. these are these patients all risk developing problems in the long term. and this applies not only to the left heart syndrome, but also to all other complex heart defect into relatively simple congenital heart defects have see that these is those complications can develop over time without the patients noticing it. that's why it's important that they receive long term follow up care, which should be carried out at a cardiac clinic for by a specialist who is an expert on these issues. you might expensive. constantine has hypo plastic left hardy syndrome, but he doesn't let that stump him and even takes part in sports classes. he knows
4:49 am
how to stay within his limits. it's matt, i know that i can run as long as some other people. while i have a friend you've seen him to, he's not as fast as me either. so sometimes i'm glad when i'm a bit faster and not the slowest in the class. and i'm not the 1st to have to quit and there's not much as part of a clinical study. constantine will have an m r on it, and a stress test to find out how his heart is fearing. the researches want to know more about how complex heart defects affect everyday life, and whether additional therapies might be needed. konstantin wants to go scuba diving with his father, who is an active, unhappy, toddler, and motivates ethics and has become a doctor himself in part because of his own experiences. but they told him a lot, and of course you always think about the future and hope you'll stay stable and you make sure that you have the means to take care of yourself. but it's not like it's
4:50 am
a worry at the top of your mind or anything with this or most with studies show that most people born with congenital heart defense need full happy lives. thanks in part, to modern medicine. feeling satisfied is good for your heart, joy, happiness and love have positive effects on cardiac health as do good relationships with partners, family and friends. but the key to heart health is physical activity. a british study recently found that by symmetric exercises are especially good for your heart . these involve flexing certain muscles and they're not moving them or your joints for longer periods, like the core exercise called planking. those who find that to bore and can pursue the classics and stuff like jogging or playing soccer,
4:51 am
playing soccer for health, g read versus team yellow, but this is no ordinary game. andrea of all of us is one of the players. she's an intensive care nurse who looks after people who are seriously ill her biggest worry ending up in the emergency room, her self at some point for hard trouble. and it's not unlikely. the risk runs in her family. my name, which is my mother developed a heart condition 20 years ago and had to get a new, a arctic valve. she's also had to have bypasses and has spent a lot of time in the hospital. and then it became clear that my father also has some similar problems, including high blood pressure and try to as of the some extent and impulse. so when you consider yourself and your family physicians, and if i'm you, i you wonder, wow, we little affect me to test. she wants to avoid heart disease at all cost. and
4:52 am
that's why she made a decision a month ago, and they are now play soccer. you know the of her own, she trains every week. teo card has been playing for a long time. he played soccer in his youth. then he had a heart attack 3 years ago and has had a stem to ever since that change. do you think about it a lot and you always listen to your body. if there's a little something strange you wonder, is there something wrong again and so on. now he's stepping on the gas with fit kick soccer for the hard. here he's learned to let go of his worries. the training is also tailored to people with preexisting heart conditions. the trainer takes care to meet their needs. then you can make the tasks more varied, but feasible, like playing with lighter balls, running shorter distance is not playing high balls. adding more balls from time to time. it's all things that make the game more feasible for the players. that way
4:53 am
everyone feels more comfortable and secure, right? there's not just one ball, but several. one area of focus is coordination. that prevents frustration later in the game, especially for new players like under a 100 even the rules are a bit different. even the warm up, the goal soccer without injuries, busty and trotter help develop this type of game. he is a trainee cardiologist. this is a soccer variant, far removed from competitive soccer to motivate people that as many women with and without previous soccer experience to play sports again. and we have introduced special rules for this. so no tools, no headers, no high kicks so that everyone, regardless of ability, has the same amount of time and fund that's what's unique the project started
4:54 am
a few years ago with just 2 teams. that right now, so many teams that they have to set up their own lead to fit kick league and very important, so wristwatch tape measure, suppose some other time. and if it, before they start playing with the fit kick league, every player gets a health jag. and that's why they have the hard great monitors, so that they could look at their heart rate monitors during training and check for themselves whether they're training in the optimum range of the mind by 20. if you keep your heart in the right range, you collect a little heart, the key to winning and if you improve your running performance compared to the previous month, you win points. of course, we also want to encourage the teams that may not have run as much in the 1st month, but then more and more, and then next month, so that a positive spirit is created on today. of course that would also be hearts for goals, but it's the exercise that counts burning more calories than usual. also even quitting
4:55 am
smoking winds hot of the machine. so certainly bashed. i was surprised by how clear the effects were for one thing and how quickly we were able to achieve them. that seemed those were the 2 points that impressed me. i just decided by sealants i'll try and that's simply because they also showed us that the importance of extra size and training should be even more highly emphasized in our therapy. these can be true of understanding the top. so this works here during training. the teams have the rules down at 5 to with what you can see is that the teams definitely play close to the ground. move around about that. everyone gets the ball and that's a very positive concept. of course, the yellow team is doing very well now. and there's almost scored a goal. and so overall, the yellow team is probably a head. it doesn't really matter if it's the yellow, gray, or red,
