Cardiac arrhythmia in children
In principle, all types of cardiac dysrhythmia that occur in adults can also be present in children. In most cases, however, these are not acquired, as in adults, but are congenital cardiac dysrhythmias from the beginning (e.g. due to congenital heart defects, heart valve defects, heart muscle diseases, etc.). In some cases, cardiac dysrhythmia in adolescents can also occur sporadically and “grow together” again in the course of development. It should also be noted that it is completely normal for children to have a faster heartbeat than adults and that a rapid cardiac dysrhythmia is therefore not always immediately present. The symptoms in children and adolescents are similar to those of adults, but the signs in infants and toddlers differ due to their limited or insufficient ability to communicate: here, behavioral changes, tiredness or restlessness, tearfulness, drinking/eating lust, paleness, blue discoloration and weakness can indicate cardiac arrhythmia that leads to physical impairment.
Cardiac arrhythmia in the menopause
The female menopause – also known as the climacteric – means a significant hormonal change for the female body: due to the decrease in the production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone in the female ovaries. The typical symptoms of the menopause are caused in particular by a lack of estrogen, so that it can lead to: for example However, the hormone deficiency also affects the heart, so that many women in the menopause complain of palpitations and palpitations or stumbling of the heart. The reason for this is the lack of effect of the female hormones: In the area of the cardiovascular system, estrogen is primarily responsible for the dilation of the blood vessels, so that on the one hand blood pressure is lowered, the heart has to pump less strongly and the blood supply is improved.
A lack of estrogen therefore causes a narrowing of the blood vessels and thus an increase in blood pressure and more work for the heart. In addition, an estrogen deficiency has a positive effect on the autonomic nervous system, making it more easily excitable. Since the autonomic nervous system is also involved in the control of the heart, the increased sensitivity can also be excitable here, so that an increase in the beat frequency and rhythm disturbances can occur.
