Скачать или смотреть The "New Year" Heart Attack" (Holiday Heart Syndrome) 🫀🍷

Did you know ER visits for heart issues spike significantly between Christmas and New Year's? It is a real medical condition called "Holiday Heart Syndrome."

Here is what happens to your body during the New Year celebrations:

THE TRIGGERS:

Binge Drinking: Alcohol is toxic to heart muscle cells (myocardium).
High Salt Intake: Party foods cause fluid retention and high blood pressure.
Lack of Sleep: Increases adrenaline and stress hormones.
THE RESULT:
Your heart's electrical system misfires. You might feel "palpitations" (like a drum beating in your chest), shortness of breath, or dizziness. This is often Atrial Fibrillation (AFib).

FOR MBBS / MED STUDENTS:
• Definition: Acute cardiac rhythm disturbance (usually Supraventricular Tachyarrhythmia) after binge drinking in a person without known heart disease.
• Mechanism: Ethanol causes electrolyte disturbances (low magnesium/potassium), increases sympathetic output, and shortens the atrial refractory period.
• Most Common Rhythm: Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) which resolves spontaneously within 24 hours of abstinence.

ADVICE:
Hydrate aggressively. Replenish electrolytes. If your heart rate stays high or irregular, go to the ER to rule out a heart attack.
