It often happens that in conditions of heightened stressful situations or increased exposure to stress, hormones are secreted that additionally stimulate our heart, and if someone is prone to overstimulation, it very often happens that his complaints appear in those situations, said Dr. Nikola in Colors of the Morning Pavlović, head of the Center for Cardiology of the Clinic for Heart Diseases in KCCG.
Pavlović states that it is normal for the heart to work faster and harder under conditions of stress.
"Some abnormal jumps can also appear, they are often complaints that patients present with, they are mostly not really dangerous things, something that is worrying, but very often patients complain about it. Many heart diseases can manifest themselves with some arrhythmic phenomena, fortunately serious arrhythmias are not the most common group. What we are most afraid of are arrhythmias that occur in patients who have certain structural heart diseases, who have some forms of cardiomyopathies or who have coronary disease, if they have had heart attacks and so on "Heart skipping gives a much more serious note compared to a patient who is generally healthy and has a healthy heart and has these skips. These skips are usually harmless and they do not have any malignant potential, that is, to threaten the patient's life," explained Pavlović.
He adds that it can occur in patients of pediatric age, and they can also occur in the seventh decade.
"Structural diseases can already appear there, and then these skips most often occur in the field of some heart diseases, and people who are younger can have these extrasystolic skips as an isolated disease, that is, the only problem".
He points out that covid affects the cardiovascular system in a large network, be it serious cardiac events, heart attacks, thrombosis and thromboembolism.
"Fortunately, such patients usually calm down as time goes by, that aspect of covid is not as alarming as some others where, for example, we get a patient who has a heart attack due to covid and then it completely changes the life of such people".
