have you ever felt your heart racing
0:02
unexpectedly or noticed it beating
0:05
slowly these experiences could be signs
0:08
of important heart rhythm conditions
0:09
that affect millions of people
0:12
worldwide your heart beats continuously
0:14
throughout your life but have you ever
0:16
wondered if it can beat too fast or too
0:19
slow today we're exploring two important
0:21
heart rhythm conditions tacocardia and
0:26
at its core your heart is a remarkable
0:29
pump designed to maintain a steady
0:31
rhythm for most adults a normal resting
0:34
heart rate ranges from 60 to 100 beats
0:36
per minute however when this rhythm
0:39
deviates significantly from the norm it
0:41
can lead to two distinct conditions
0:44
tacicardia occurs when your heart beats
0:46
faster than normal typically over 100
0:49
beats per minute when at rest this rapid
0:52
heartbeat can happen in the upper
0:53
chambers known as atrial tacocardia or
0:57
in the lower chambers called ventricular
1:00
tacocardia on the other hand bradic
1:02
cardia is characterized by an unusually
1:04
slow heart rate generally below 60 beats
1:07
per minute for adults while some
1:09
athletes and physically fit individuals
1:11
may have a naturally low heart rate
1:13
brady cardia can be a concern for
1:16
others what causes these conditions
1:19
tacocardia can result from various
1:21
factors including stress anxiety fever
1:25
certain medications thyroid problems or
1:28
underlying heart conditions in some
1:31
cases it may be a response to exercise
1:33
or excitement which is usually not a
1:36
concern bradic cardia might occur due to
1:39
problems with the heart's natural
1:40
pacemaker certain medications
1:44
hypothyroidism or as a side effect of
1:46
some heart conditions
1:48
it's worth noting that a lower heart
1:50
rate during sleep is normal and not
1:52
typically classified as brady
1:54
cardia recognizing the symptoms of these
1:57
conditions is crucial tacic cardia may
2:00
cause palpitations shortness of breath
2:03
lightadedness or chest pain brady cardia
2:06
symptoms can include fatigue weakness
2:09
dizziness and in severe cases fainting
2:14
diagnosis of these conditions often
2:16
involves electroc cardiograms halter
2:18
monitors or other heart rhythm tracking
2:21
devices treatment approaches vary
2:23
depending on the underlying cause and
2:25
severity they may range from lifestyle
2:28
changes and medication adjustments to
2:30
more advanced interventions like
2:32
cardioversion or pacemaker implantation
2:34
in some cases understanding the
2:37
difference between tacocardia and bradic
2:39
cardia highlights the importance of
2:41
maintaining a healthy heart rhythm while
2:44
occasional variations in heart rate are
2:46
normal persistent irregularities should
2:48
be evaluated by a health care
2:51
professional regular checkups and
2:53
awareness of your heart health can go a
2:55
long way in detecting and managing these
2:56
conditions early by staying informed and
2:59
attentive to your body's signals you can
3:01
take proactive steps towards maintaining
3:03
a healthy heart rhythm
3:05
tacocardia and bradic cardia
3:08
understanding heart rhythm disorders
3:10
let's recap the key points about
3:12
tacocardia and bradic cardia tacocardia
3:15
is when your heart beats too fast over
3:17
100 beats per minute at rest while
3:19
bradic cardia is when it beats too slow
3:22
under 60 beats per minute for adults
3:24
both conditions can be caused by various
3:27
factors including stress medications and
3:30
underlying heart conditions symptoms may
3:33
include palpitations shortness of breath
3:36
and dizziness for tacocardia and fatigue
3:39
weakness and fainting for brady
3:42
cardia remember while some variations in
3:45
heart rate are normal persistent
3:47
irregularities should be evaluated by a
3:49
professional regular checkups and
3:52
awareness of your heart health are
3:53
crucial for early detection and
3:55
management of these conditions
