"Moise's team uncovered some interesting heart behaviors when afflicted with AF. When a person has a rapid heartbeat, the heart cells adapt to keep calcium levels balanced. This incredible feature of heart cells comes with a significant drawback. "
"The very same adaptations make the heart susceptible to continued arrhythmias or abnormal heartbeats. This creates a vicious cycle where more heart cells adapt to keep calcium levels balanced as the condition continues, which in turn makes the heart more susceptible to arrhythmias, eventually leading to a permanent irregular heartbeat."
"Moise's work shows exactly why catching AF early and treating it is crucial for heart health."
Ooops!!!
