uh a4m a few weeks ago about the role of oxidative stress in a variety of cardiovascular conditions but atrial fibrillation and arrhythmia in particular is when you're really inflamed when you have a lot of oxidative stress when you have a lot of peroxynitrate and superoxide and all these things going on that directly affects
our cellular function and that can precipitate arrhythmias.
So oftentimes you're living libido, low inflammation, right?
You're low inflammatory and getting your fish oils and all those things that can actually make it less likely if it's going to happen, it can actually make it less likely for it to go down.
So that speaks to the importance of not just
dealing with these arrhythmias and lifestyle issues when it's already happened but living the right life eating the right foods having the right behaviors all of these things can protect you from having to develop into these arrhythmias over time
the plan of care for a patient yeah i mean so in general arrhythmias we don't see a huge signal that they are hereditary but there are some hereditary conditions that can cause arrhythmias right so it's like not all things orange oranges but not oranges or whatever you know i'm trying to say
So there are some.
So you can have what are called channelopathies.
So ion channel abnormalities.
We've mentioned these several times, but genetic ones that can predispose you.
There's things like what's called long QT syndrome or short QT syndrome that are at play.
There are certain bypass conditions that can be handed down, meaning a short circuit.
conditions like there can be some wolf parkinson white and lgl which is another bypass track that can happen so you know if you have a family history of people passing out or suddenly passing out i'll always ask them you know do you have a family history about who died suddenly yep
you know, unexplained.
Like they're just like, you hear these stories of the kids that at, you know, sports practice and all of a sudden someone goes down and they, you know, CPR.
So do you have a family history of that at all?
Or, you know, have your parents ever had passing out spells before the age of like 60, 65 or so that can lead to thinking about these sorts of things, any inherited or any abnormalities on their EKG?
Like when I get an EKG, first question is, do your parents ever say they have funny looking EKGs?
Probably not politically correct now that you can't say it or you can say it now, but like in the 90s when I went to med school, I was on a pediatric rotation with a geneticist and he said, you know, when you have someone that looks syndromic, that's what we would say, you always have to look at their parents first and see if they just look like their parents because they could just look like their parents, right?
