Arrhythmia or heart rhythm disturbances are often experienced by patients with heart attacks. Condition that is triggered by damage to the cells making up the heart muscle can be treated with Chinese herbs, the taste is bitter because it contains bile bears. Traditional Chinese medicine has long been known as a heart medicine bear bile, especially to cope with arrhythmia or heart rhythm disturbances. In addition to proven hereditary, his usefulness has also been scientifically proven by scientists.
But because the bear population shrinking, the use of bear bile is always criticized by activist environmentalists. So that bears are not extinct, the scientists developed a new compound which has a similar structure of bear bile.
Artificial compounds developed by scientists at Imperial College London is called ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). Struktut and exact same activities with the content of bear bile, so equally efficacious to overcome cardiac rhythm disturbances.
Amazingly, these synthetic compounds are not only efficacious in adults but also in the fetus. Heart rhythm disturbances in the fetus in the womb occurs in 1 in 200 pregnancies in the UK and increase the risk of death to the fetus.
'These findings are very interesting because so far there is no therapy that is effective enough to overcome the arrhythmia after a heart attack,' said Dr Julia Gorelik, scientists from the National Heart and Lung Institute is involved in the study as quoted from Dailymail, Tuesday (2 / 8 / 2011).
Cardiac rhythm disturbance occurs because some of the cells making up the heart muscle is damaged after a heart attack. Damaged cells called myofibroblast cell can not be beat, causing the rhythm or irregular heart rhythms.
