![]() ![]() Fatigue, weakness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath and chest pain are common arrhythmia symptoms. The large study included 190,115 patients with acute onset of symptomatic heart arrhythmias. The current study looked at the prevalence of four common arrhythmias: atrial fibrillation (AF), where the upper chambers of the heart (atria) beat quickly and irregularly atrial flutter, where the atria pump too quickly premature beats arising in the atria and the ventricles (bottom chambers) and, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), a faster-than-normal heart rate originating above the ventricles. Chinese researchers used data from 2,025 hospitals in 322 cities nationwide to evaluate hourly exposure to air pollution and examined its effects on heart rhythm.Īrrhythmia is caused by faulty electrical conduction, so the heart’s beats are not coordinated, and the heart can’t pump blood effectively. However, new research has shown that air pollution also affects the heart and can lead to rhythm disturbances called arrhythmias. We expect air pollution to negatively affect the lungs, and studies have proven that to be the case. ![]()
