Tachycardia is a heart that beats too fast. Bradycardia is at the opposite end of the spectrum: a heart that beats too slowly. 🫀

When the heart is not maintaining an even pace, that’s where a pacemaker comes in. It’s a small device that’s placed under the skin, usually just below the collarbone, with thin leads that connect to the heart. It monitors your heartbeat and delivers gentle electrical signals only when needed, keeping your rhythm steady.

A tiny device with a big job. Keep a look out for part 2: leadless pacemakers.

🎄❤️ Holiday Heart Syndrome is REAL and your heart is not here for the chaos.

🍸Big meals, late nights, stressy family moments, and “just one more” drink can push even a healthy heart into an irregular rhythm. Yep… your heart feels the holidays, too.

A few heart-friendly holiday rules:
- Have fun but keep it in a healthy range.Switch out an extra cocktail for a refreshing juice or seltzer instead
- Stay hydrated and in the mix with low sugar drinks or club soda in between your party sips

And hey, if the rhythm feels “off,” or symptoms last more than a few minutes? Chest pain? Dizziness? Shortness of breath? 🚨
Get checked. No holiday tradition is worth ignoring your heart.

“Stress is just psychological.” ⚡ Think again.
Chronic oxidative stress speeds up heart aging, increases inflammation, and raises cardiovascular risk. Protecting your heart isn’t just about exercise or diet, it’s also about supporting your body’s antioxidant defenses.

Your heart works hard every day. Give it the backup it deserves!

Your hormones are more than chemical messengers - they’re also powerful influencers of your heart. 💓

Balanced hormones = steady rhythm, healthy contraction, optimal blood flow
Imbalanced hormones = faster heart rate, stiffened vessels, structural changes in the heart

This is why some people experience high blood pressure, arrhythmias, or other heart issues even when traditional risk factors aren’t present.

Swipe through to see all the ways hormones impact your heart, and check out our blog for a deep dive on keeping your rhythm healthy. Read it here: https://www.flheartbeat.com/the-beat-goes-on-hormones-and-your-heart/

“Coffee causes heart problems!”
☕ Not exactly… but a “safe” amount isn’t the same for everyone.

Moderate caffeine use is generally well-tolerated, even for some people with heart conditions. Sure, your heart rate might jump a little, and your blood pressure might spike temporarily, but in healthy individuals, it rarely causes dangerous arrhythmias. In fact, some studies suggest regular coffee may even lower the risk of certain heart issues.

Here’s the kicker: your heart is unique. If caffeine makes your heart flutter, skip, or pound unusually, take it seriously. Your rhythm powers your life, so pay attention and skip the cup of joe (or energy drinks) if it becomes bothersome..

We unpack it all in our recent blog. Read it here:

PVCs, Premature Ventricular Contractions, are a little beat that comes out of nowhere. They’re common, usually harmless, and many people don’t even notice them.

But sometimes PVCs aren’t so innocent. Frequent PVCs can impact heart function or signal underlying issues, depending on your overall health and symptoms.

The key? Pay attention, get checked, and know your heart. Our recent blog covers all you need to know. Check it out here: https://www.flheartbeat.com/premature-ventricular-contractions-or-pvc-what-are-they-and-what-to-do/
