Washington University School of Medicine scientists have found that cardiac death can be predict by the method in which the heart respond to an early on beat in the left ventricle. Lead author Phyllis K. Stein and her colleagues found that an irregular response to an early beat from the heart's major pumping chamber can identify high-risk patients, even those who have no other signs of suffer from cardiovascular disease. The paper, which was published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, full the researchers' efforts to study patient response to ventricular premature beats (VPB).
These beats occur when the ventricle get an inappropriate signal that tells it to beat when it should not. This domino effect in the heart pump less blood to the body than it should. While a fit organ compensates by slowing down the heart rate, an abnormal response may point out cardiovascular disease. "It's a clear test of whether the autonomic nervous system, which control your heart rate, can adapt to a challenge," Stein explained. The Centers for Disease Control and avoidance report that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S.
