The Heartae

  If you — or someone you know — regularly feel palpitations, skipped beats or inexplicable “fluttering” in the chest, you might be suffering from Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs). Those extra heartbeats are common and often harmless. But for many people, especially when frequent, they can become disruptive or even harmful. That’s where PVC ablation comes in — a cutting-edge treatment gaining popularity worldwide, and offered by trusted providers such as TheHeart.ae . In this blog, we dive into what PVC ablation is, how it works, why it's trending now, and what you should know before considering it.   What Are PVCs — and When Do They Become a Problem? The human heart normally beats rhythmically, coordinating signals from the upper chambers (atria) to the lower chambers (ventricles). PVCs occur when extra, premature beats emerge from the ventricles — a momentary “misfire.” Often, PVCs are benign and don’t require medical treatment. But if they happen frequ...

  When heart rhythms go awry, the risk of a life-threatening event increases dramatically. For many patients, undergoing ICD implant surgery can be the difference between life and death. In this article, we will explore what an Implantable Cardioverter‑Defibrillator (ICD) is, how the surgery is performed, who may need it, the benefits and risks, and important aftercare — including how TheHeart.ae supports patients undergoing this procedure.   What is an ICD? An ICD is a small, battery-powered electronic device implanted under the skin of the chest to monitor and regulate the heart’s rhythm. It constantly watches the heart’s electrical activity, detects dangerous arrhythmias — such as Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) or Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) — and, when necessary, delivers an electric shock (or pacing pulses) to restore a normal heartbeat. Depending on the patient’s condition, the ICD may be a: Single-chamber ICD (one lead, typically to the right ventr...
