Arrhythmias

The abnormal rhythmic contractions in the heart are called arrhythmias. Arrhythmias can be of several kinds but are generally mild or severe. The mild form can be as fleeting as a single missed beat during a contraction cycle in the heart; the more severe forms of the arrhythmias may cause the heart to beat irregularly or unusually fast or even very slowly for extended periods of time.

The underlying reasons for the development of arrhythmias in some people continue to remain a mystery. There are certain factors for the cause of some types of arrhythmias, for example the presence of a heart condition, including diseases of the coronary artery disease, the presence of defect in the valves of the heart - and an infection of the heart can also give rise to arrhythmias in very rare cases.

Other possible factors that can contribute to arrhythmias include problems associated with the thyroid glands or even the presence of kidney disease in the individual; the use of certain drugs and over the counter medications can also trigger arrhythmias.

An imbalance of the minerals such as magnesium and others like potassium in the body can also be partly responsible for arrhythmias in many individuals. The excessive use of substances such as caffeine and intoxicants like alcohol, excessive smoking, and physical or emotional stress are all triggers for abnormal rhythms in the heart.

Supplements and herbs

The severe impact of arrhythmias must be remembered, as they can cause serious problems and affect health in a very serious manner. The recommended supplements are not meant to replace the standard medical treatments for arrhythmias and must be used as complements to the allopathic treatment methodologies.

The advice of a doctor must be taken first before any heart medication is discontinued. The order of supplementation and the supplements that must be taken will be determined by your doctor-self medication and supplementation must not be undertaken in any event. The use of these supplements often produces affects only in the long term even though some of them may begin to have some perceptible effects within a week.

People with arrhythmias often suffer from deficiencies of the essential mineral magnesium, and as such supplements of this mineral can often bring great benefit to patients with heart-rhythm disorders, and arrhythmias in general. The mineral magnesium within the body provides vital functions in coordinating the activity of nerves, with particular importance to those nerves that initiate heartbeats and many important muscles such as those found in the heart.
