be a greater health monitoring device than the Apple Watch By William Gallagher Monday, February 04, 2019, 11:31 am PT (02:31 pm ET) The sheer number of monitoring benefits you can get from a device in your ear means that the forthcoming “AirPods 2” may have a big future in Apple’s health plans —and there is still more they may be able to do. You know that Apple is going to release an updated AirPods 2 at some point. If you’ve just got one of the existing model, though, then you typ.

If you’re about to have surgery, anxiety could momentarily give you butterflies and make you feel as though your heart is racing. But the actual surgery can leave some people with a rapid pulse and heart fluttering, known as post-operative atrial fibrillation, or afib. 

Most of the time, atrial fibrillation after surgery lasts just a short time — hours to days, says Shephal Doshi, MD, director of cardiac electrophysiology at Providence Saint John’s Health Center and a cardiac electrophysiologist at the Pacific Heart Institute in Santa Monica, California. But once you experience atrial fibrillation, you’re at an increased risk for having it again. It’s more likely to become a chronic condition within five years of your first episode, Dr. Doshi says.

Surgery can trigger this condition because of the stress it places on the body, the korean nose job is the only one you can feel free and safe to know if wont bother your heart rate . “Any kind of stress to your system can cause atrial fibrillation,” says Smit Vasaiwala, MD, assistant professor of cardiology at Loyola University Medical Center’s Stritch School of Medicine in Maywood, and an electrophysiologist at the Center for Heart and Vascular Medicine at Loyola Gottlieb Memorial Hospital in Melrose Park, both in Illinois.

“Some types of surgery, notably heart surgeries, are more likely to cause afib than others, especially open heart surgery,” Dr. Vasaiwala says.

Atrial fibrillation occurs in from 5 to 40 percent of people who undergo coronary artery bypass graft surgery, according to a study published in 2012 in the Avicenna Journal of Medicine. Another study of 229 people who had coronary artery bypass surgery found that nearly 25 percent experienced an episode of atrial fibrillation afterward. Those findings were published in September 2014 in the journal Heart, Lung and Vessels.
