The episode will be broadcast on EBS1 at 9:55 pm on Friday, September 27th.
Cerebral infarction, in which a cerebral blood vessel is blocked, occurs suddenly one day without warning. When cerebral blood vessels are blocked, the number of brain cells destroyed per minute is approximately 1.9 million. It can threaten life and leave aftereffects that threaten daily life.
However, it should be noted that in about 20% of cerebral infarction patients, the cause of cerebral infarction is the heart, not the brain. Atrial fibrillation, a type of arrhythmia, produces blood clots, and the blood clots formed in the heart block blood vessels in the brain.
What kind of disease is ‘atrial fibrillation’, which attacks cerebral blood vessels, and how can it be treated and prevented? Let’s find a solution to prevent and treat the dreaded atrial fibrillation and avoid the risk of cerebral infarction.
In EBS’s ‘The Fear of Atrial Fibrillation, Threatening the Cerebrovascular System’, we learn about atrial fibrillation, which causes cerebral infarction, with Professor Lim Hong-eui of the Department of Cardiology.
The cause of cerebral infarction lies in the heart?
A 60-year-old man collapsed unconscious and was taken to the emergency room. The name of the disease was cerebral infarction, a blockage of cerebral blood vessels. Fortunately, he was able to recover his health after receiving emergency treatment. The cause of the cerebral infarction discovered during treatment was atrial fibrillation, a type of arrhythmia. The cause of the cerebral blood vessel blockage was the heart, not the brain. If atrial fibrillation had been recognized and treated early, wouldn’t the risk of cerebral infarction have been avoided?
Let’s learn more about atrial fibrillation, what kind of disease it is, and why it attacks cerebral blood vessels.
Cooled balloon catheter ablation and radiofrequency electrode catheter ablation
A male patient in his 50s called 119 and went to the emergency room after collapsing while walking and feeling like he was going to die. After that incident, I developed the habit of checking my pulse rate with the smart watch on my wrist. The diseases this patient suffers from are atrial fibrillation, which causes the heart to beat irregularly, and atrial flutter, which causes the heart to beat rapidly. These two diseases are caused by problems with the heart’s electrical signal generation and transmission system, and require cardiac surgery for fundamental treatment. A patient who underwent cold balloon catheter ablation to treat atrial fibrillation and radiofrequency catheter ablation to treat atrial flutter. Did the misaligned heart beat return to its proper place after the procedure?
Arrhythmia radiation-free treatment that saved two people’s lives!
Three years ago, a woman who was 7 months pregnant suddenly felt fear of death when her heart began to beat violently. She rushed to the hospital, but was told that the baby’s life could not be saved because the mother’s life was in danger. The couple, who were looking for a treatment that would not harm the baby in order to save the life of their unborn baby, met Professor Hong-Eui Lim, who performs zero-radiation procedures. A patient who underwent the procedure while pregnant without anesthesia was able to give birth to a healthy baby after the procedure. Professor Hong-Eui Lim is the highest authority on ‘zero radiation arrhythmia procedures’, and many medical staff from home and abroad are looking for him to learn zero radiation procedures. Let’s learn about zero-radiation procedures that can reduce the risk of radiation exposure, which cannot be avoided in arrhythmia treatment, and allow for healthy treatment.
At EBS, let’s learn about the diagnosis and treatment of atrial fibrillation with Professor Lim Hong-eui, a cardiologist who monitors patients 24 hours a day and is the highest authority on ‘zero-radiation arrhythmia treatment’ in Korea. The episode ‘The Fear of Atrial Fibrillation, Threatening the Cerebrovascular System’ will be broadcast on EBS 1TV at 9:55 pm on Friday, September 27th, and can be viewed again on the EBS website.
