Rhythms of the Heart
March 11, 1999 - Boca Raton, FL - Did you know that there may be a cure for your racing heart, pounding chest and fainting spells? Recent clinical studies and advances in medical technology have led to new treatments that can control or eliminate many abnormal heart rhythms. New medical devices can significantly prolong the life of those at risk for fatal heart rhythm disorders.
The heart works as a pump to deliver about 1,800 gallons of blood throughout your body every single day. The pumping action or beating is coordinated by its own electrical system. If this electrical system causes the heart to beat too fast, too slow or irregularly, the heart develops an arrhythmia, or heart rhythm disorder.
Have you experienced dizziness, fainting, and a racing heart? Most arrhythmias are not life threatening, but unfortunately some can be serous enough to cause sudden death. Millions of people worldwide have a heart rhythm disorder, but many are not aware of these life-saving therapies.
The Cutting Edge Medical Report will feature advanced treatments that offer new hope to people with heart rhythm disorder in Rhythms of the Heart, an informative 30-minute TV documentary.
This program is produced by the award winning Information Television Network and is made possible by a grant from Medtronic, Inc.
This program is scheduled to air on Thursday, March 18, at 7:00 a.m. Eastern and Pacific times, 6:00 a.m. Central time, and 8:00 a.m. Mountain time. For additional information on air dates and times, please call 1-888-380-6500.
