When the heart stops beating due to the electrical impulse issue in the body, it ultimately results in cardiac arrest. In this case, the person loses consciousness as the blood flow to stops going to the heart. Within a few minutes itself, the cardiac arrest could be fatal in nature. For this very reason, the nearby individuals should dial for immediate assistance and also begin with CPR right away.
As we all know that TV star Rituraj Singh, who was aged 59, died of a sudden cardiac arrest following the treatment for pancreatitis, raises concerns about any the connection between the two and incase any type of the pancreatitis could put your heart at risk.
The impeding symptoms before getting a cardiac arrest are as follows:
B. During a Cardiac Arrest
Due to the passing of Rituraj Singh, further research papers are taken out and numerous previous research have also demonstrated a connection between the two but not as a clear causal relationship.
Even though the precise mechanism of myocardial injury in acute pancreatitis remains unknown. However, it could be seen that the severe pancreatitis can result in significant hypotension, which could lower the coronary perfusion and then cause myocardial ischemia. Furthermore, there is also a possibility that the pancreatic exocrine insufficiency worsens heart failure and the existing cardiovascular disease, establishing a vicious circle.
To diagnose cardiac arrests and for keeping your heart health, monitoring any heart disorders, you can get the following tests (both imaging and blood tests) done:
For Pancreatitis:
It has been seen that individuals that suffer from pancreatitis and Cardiopulmonary arrest lead to the coronary artery with contraction spasm, with the difference in sinus node excitability and its sudden decrease, with slowing down of the specific system and the conduction velocities leading to the decreased cardiac output, with decreased blood pressure, ultimately cardiac arrest .
One of the major causes is also that the increased pressure within the bile duct along with surrounding tissues that eventually leads to pressure on heart. Thus, it is very important to identify the symptoms early on and get your tested at the Diagnostic center for both imaging scans and blood tests for heart and pancreas and maintain a healthy lifestyle for better longevity.
