The lightning bolts that are associated with this storm are tiny little clots that can cause a stroke. This irregular heart beat is the most common form among the US- atrial fibrillation. In fact, as many as one in every five strokes in America are related to atrial fibrillation, which is also called AF. That’s more than 150,000 strokes a year. People with AF have a stroke risk that’s up to six times higher than the risk for other people their age — and if they have other health conditions such as diabetes or heart disease, their stroke risk is even higher. Medications and treatments such as ablation are key in treating and controlling a-fib. There is many meds out there and blood thinners to chose from. There are new up and ...

Eating broiled or baked fish (as opposed to fried) at least a few times a week is the key to seeing this benefit, and experts credit Omega-3 fatty acids for the heart-healthy effects. If fish isn't your thing you may get similar benefits from eating other foods that are high in Omega-3's such as walnuts, flaxseed, and many green leafy veggies.Read | Permalink | Email this |...

But research is confirming previous fears that drinking is not only bad for your heart, but it's damaging in more ways than even previously thought. A recent study showed that people who drink heavily are at a much greater risk of developing atrial fibrillation, or abnormal heart rhythm. Previous studies have linked high alcohol consumption with increased risk of stroke, heart failure, and death, so this is just one more reason in a list of many not to over-indulge.
