Anti-smoking Drug Linked To Heart Risks For People In Tampa

There has been a rise in the number of cardiac arrest death cases worldwide which has also given rise to the popularity of the CPR classes which can mainly be attributed to the effectiveness of the CPR procedures in reviving the lives of cardiac arrest victims. Healthcare providers can enroll for a Basic Life Support or a BLS class Tampa, Advanced Cardiac Life Support classes or the Pediatric Advanced Life Support class. There are courses for the general public as well. While enrolling for a program, an individual should go through the course curriculum for choosing the most appropriate course. Always select an accredited training center for attaining quality training such as the AHA accredited CPR Tampa in Florida.


CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation which is a combination of chest compressions and rescue breaths which can restore the life of a cardiac arrest struck victim through proper application. A cardiac arrest sees no age or sex before striking and such a victim would require immediate treatment for survival and the only form of treatment in this regards is the proper application of the resuscitation techniques.

Anti-smoking Drug Linked To Heart Risk- As per a study it was found that Pfizer’s anti-smoking drug Chantix poses significant cardiovascular risks, it is a claim that the pharmaceutical company immediately denied and spoke highly of the drug’s benefits. Chantix is linked to a 72 percent greater risk of hospitalization due to a serious adverse cardiovascular event like a heart attack or an arrhythmia which is as per the study which was published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. As per the study investigator, Chantix is one of the most harmful prescription drugs on the US market which causes loss of consciousness, visual disturbances, violence, suicides, depression and worsening of diabetes and now adds cardiovascular risks. It means that a smoker should be careful prior to taking this anti-smoking drug which can prove to be detrimental for the health.

People with heart diseases are more prone to getting struck with a cardiac arrest or heart attack than others but that does not mean that healthy people are safe- even they can get struck with it. It is important to go for regular health check-ups and take proper medication as prescribed by a doctor if an individual has a heart disease. Children and infants can also get struck with a cardiac arrest which highlights the importance of a CPR class for parents and teachers.

So enroll for a BLS class Tampa or any other CPR program for that matter and reap the benefits. At CPR Tampa, to register for a program either enroll online or call on 727-240-9404 for registration. If you are hard of time then you can go for online classes as well, see to it that there is availability of a skills test at the end of a program because no CPR course is complete without the conduction of a skills test.

Risks, Types and Causes of Atrial Flutter and CPR Classes in Palm Harbor

Atrial flutter is a problem when the atria of the ticker beats rapidly and regularly due to an anomaly of the ticker’s electrical system that usually results in a tachycardia (an abnormally fast heart rate). An individual with the condition may get feelings like near-fainting, rapid heartbeats (palpitations), mild shortness of breath and fatigue. During atrial flutter, the ticker beats extra fast about 250-400 beats per minute. This type of arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm) can be dangerous because complications can easily develop, and a normal heartbeat is 60-100 beats per minute. Atrial fibrillation is another arrhythmia that atrial flutter is closely related to. Atrial Flutter Types : 1.       Persistent atrial flutter which is more or less permanent. 2.       Paroxysmal atrial flutter which can come and go. An atrial flutter episode usually lasts hours or days. Risks: The main danger is that your ticker doesn’t p...

Facts About Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease

The aortic valve is a one-way valve between the heart and the aorta, regulating blood flow from the heart into the aorta. It is the main artery from the ticker/the major blood vessel that distributes oxygen-rich blood to the body, and also prevents the blood from flowing back from the aorta into the ticker when the pumping chamber relaxes. Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease (BAVD) is one of the most common congenital heart conditions that can go unrecognized for years without incident. Surgery is the only fix once it starts to cause problems. Normally, the aortic valve has three small flaps or leaflets that open widely and close securely to send oxygenated blood on a one-way route from the heart to the aorta. But in bicuspid aortic valve disease (BAVD), the valve has only two leaflets, which can cause life-threatening problems. This congenital heart condition affects about 1-2 percent of the population, and it is twice as likely to develop in men, might go unrecognized for years i...
