Видео: кардиолог рассказал, с каким вопросом к нему обращаются чаще всего (и это не инфаркты)

On the eve of World Heart Day, celebrated worldwide every September 29, Dr. Jorge Tartaglione visited the LN+ studios to clear up any doubts about palpitations. “It's one of the most frequent questions we cardiologists get,” he explained. “It's very common for a patient to come to my office and say, ‘My heart is in my throat: I feel like I'm going to die,’” said Tartaglione. “But in most cases, that feeling has a cause, which may be related to a panic attack or anxiety,” added the cardiologist. The specialist also emphasized that excessive consumption of mate, coffee, and tea, as well as anemia and hyperthyroidism, can also cause palpitations. When asked what palpitations are, Tartaglione replied, “They are perceptions. That is, it is when we feel our heart beating.” He elaborated: “What our brain feels impacts our heart: they are connected.” In Tartaglione's words, "if palpitations are accompanied by chest pain, pay attention. You should seek medical attention immediately.“ Another instance that requires medical attention ”is when you feel palpitations and lose consciousness or faint." At the time of the consultation, Tartaglione suggested making a series of specific comments to the doctor. When asked about the reasons that can influence the onset of palpitations, Tartaglione mentioned anxiety. В качестве обоснования он привел случай тройного убийства во Флоренсио Варела. «Такие новости вызывают сильную боль и страдания, что может привести к учащенному сердцебиению». «Несмотря на то, что подобные ситуации могут повлиять на наш пульс, специалист сделал важное уточнение. «Даже если мы переживаем тяжелый период или узнаем что-то, что заставляет нас чувствовать себя плохо, если у нас здоровое сердце, результаты любого кардиологического обследования будут хорошими», — заключил Тартальоне.
