Athletic heart syndrome (AHS) is a non-pathological condition commonly seen in sports medicine in which the human heart is enlarged, and the resting heart rate is lower than normal. The athlete's heart is associated with physiological cardiac remodeling as a consequence of repetitive cardiac loading. [ 3 ]
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy ( ACM) is an inherited heart disease. [ 1] ACM is caused by genetic defects of parts of the cardiac muscle known as desmosomes, areas on the surface of muscle cells which link them together. The desmosomes are composed of several proteins, and many of those proteins can have harmful mutations .
Palpitations. Palpitations are perceived abnormalities of the heartbeat characterized by awareness of cardiac muscle contractions in the chest, which is further characterized by the hard, fast and/or irregular beatings of the heart. [ 1] Symptoms include a rapid pulsation, an abnormally rapid or irregular beating of the heart. [ 1]
Exploding head syndrome ( EHS) is an abnormal sensory perception during sleep in which a person experiences auditory hallucinations that are loud and of short duration when falling asleep or waking up. [ 2][ 4] The noise may be frightening, typically occurs only occasionally, and is not a serious health concern. [ 2]
Don't panic, symptoms can be caused by stress, and most people who do have abnormal heart rhythms are able to live normal lives, but here's what to be aware of. Irregular heartbeat types, symptoms ...
Patulous Eustachian tube is the name of a physical disorder where the Eustachian tube, which is normally closed, instead stays intermittently open. When this occurs, the person experiences autophony, the hearing of self-generated sounds. [ 1] These sounds, such as one's own breathing, voice, and heartbeat, vibrate directly onto the ear drum and ...
An auditory hallucination, or paracusia, [ 1] is a form of hallucination that involves perceiving sounds without auditory stimulus. While experiencing an auditory hallucination, the affected person hears a sound or sounds that did not come from the natural environment. A common form of auditory hallucination involves hearing one or more voices ...
The underlying mechanism involves the nervous system slowing the heart rate and dilating blood vessels, resulting in low blood pressure and thus not enough blood flow to the brain. [2] Diagnosis is based on the symptoms after ruling out other possible causes. [3] Recovery from a reflex syncope episode happens without specific treatment. [2]
