A-fib or atrial fibrillation is a type of heart arrhythmia that causes irregular heartbeat and interrupts the normal flow of blood.

A-Fib is a fatal heart disease which must be diagnosed and treated on time

A-fib or atrial fibrillation is a type of&nbsp;heart arrhythmia that causes irregular heartbeat and interrupts the normal flow of blood. Let us help you recognise the symptoms of&nbsp;this deadly condition.

A-Fib: All you need to know about this fatal heart disorder

A-fib or atrial fibrillation is a type of&nbsp;heart arrhythmia that causes irregular heartbeat and interrupts the normal flow of blood.&nbsp;

A-fib or atrial fibrillation is a type of&nbsp;heart arrhythmia that causes irregular heartbeat and interrupts the normal flow of blood. This interruption increases the risk of blood clots and stroke, leading to death in the worst case scenario.&nbsp;
The two upper chambers of the heart are affected in this disorder and it disrupts blood flow to the ventricles or the lower chambers, and then to the rest of the body.
This is a very common disorder, and if left untreated, it can prove to be fatal. A-fib affects somewhere around 3 million adults in the United States. New York&nbsp;Times reports that this number is expected to quadruple in the coming decade as the population ages and risk factors like obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure become even more common.
In a report published in The New England Journal of Medicine, cardiologists at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in the United States indicated that untreated A-fib can raise the risk of stroke by fourfold in men and about sixfold in women.
However, proper diagnosis and treatment can turn out to be lifesaving.
How to detect A-fib?
Those affected with this disorder may feel their heart race, pound or flutter periodically for minutes at a time. They may also notice occasional episodes of shortness of breath, dizziness or undue fatigue upon exertion. Excessive consumption of alcohol and caffeine may worsen the condition.
Is there any new treatment?
New York Times reported about a new procedure called pulsed field ablation which is still in the clinical trial.&nbsp;In this method, the errant cells around the atria&nbsp;are destroyed by making holes in them with electrical shocks. It is being tested in a controlled clinical trial involving at least 350 patients at more than 30 American medical centres.

Contrary to what&nbsp;many might&nbsp;think, drinking milk on a regular basis&nbsp;may&nbsp;not&nbsp;be the&nbsp;cause&nbsp;behind&nbsp;increased&nbsp;cholesterol&nbsp;levels,&nbsp;finds new research published in the&nbsp;International Journal of Obesity.&nbsp;
Data from three large population studies were&nbsp;assessed&nbsp;to reveal that&nbsp;people who regularly drank high amounts of milk had lower levels of both good and bad cholesterol. Their&nbsp;BMI levels were, however,&nbsp;higher than non-milk drinkers.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Among participants with a genetic variation that the team associated with higher milk intake, there was a significantly lower risk of coronary heart disease.&nbsp;According to the lead researcher,&nbsp;the findings suggest that reducing the intake of milk might not be necessary for preventing cardiovascular disease.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The new research appears at a time when several contradicting studies investigated the causal link between higher dairy intake and cardiometabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. The authors&nbsp;clarify&nbsp;that it remains unclear&nbsp;whether it is the fat content in dairy products that is contributing to the lower cholesterol levels or it is due to some unknown 'milk factor.'&nbsp;

Debunked: drinking milk daily does not increase cholesterol, says study

Regular milk consumption not linked to rise in cholesterol
Data assessed from 3 big population studies of up to 1.9mn
Regular milk drinkers have lower levels of good &amp; bad cholesterol
BMI&nbsp;levels of milk lovers higher than non-milk drinkers&nbsp;
Lower risk of coronary heart disease observed in milk-drinkers
Remains unclear what in milk is contributing to low cholesterol

Maintaining&nbsp;a&nbsp;healthy weight, blood pressure and cholesterol&nbsp;level&nbsp;in childhood&nbsp;may help protect brain function later in life, suggest the findings of a new study published in the&nbsp;American Heart Association&rsquo;s flagship journal&nbsp;Circulation.&nbsp;
The research claims to be the first to shine a light on cardiovascular risk factors in childhood as a&nbsp;possible&nbsp;cause&nbsp;for&nbsp;poor&nbsp;cognitive performance&nbsp;during midlife.&nbsp;&nbsp;
For the study, researchers followed the participants' cardiovascular risk factor profiles for 31 years from&nbsp;their&nbsp;childhood in 1980 to adulthood in 2011.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The researchers observed that&nbsp;childhood obesity was&nbsp;found to be linked with lower visual information processing speed and attention&nbsp;span.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Participants with all three risk factors&nbsp;(high weight, blood pressure and cholesterol)&nbsp;had poorer memory and associative learning, worse visual processing, decreased attention span, and slower reaction and movement time.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The researchers noted that there are currently no cures for major causes of neurodegenerative diseases like dementia, so it is important to learn how early life risk factors may affect the brain.&nbsp;These results&nbsp;can be used&nbsp;to turn the focus of brain health from old age and midlife to people in younger age groups, explained the team.

Air pollution exposure linked with 15% of global Covid deaths: study 

A new study has found a link between long-term air pollution exposure and Covid-19 mortality.&nbsp;The study, published in the journal Cardiovascular Research found that&nbsp;about 15 per cent of deaths worldwide from novel coronavirus may be linked to long-term exposure to air pollution.&nbsp;
Researchers, including those from Max Planck Institute in Germany, found that in Europe the proportion of Covid-19 deaths linked to air pollution was about 19 per cent, in North America, it was 17 per cent, and in East Asia about 27 per cent.&nbsp;
The results are based on epidemiological data collected up to the third week in June 2020 and the researchers say a comprehensive evaluation will need to follow after the pandemic has subsided.
