Targeting Source of Arrhythmias
Arrhythmias, my particular issue, premature ventricular contractions. I understand this is an electrical issue in the heart. Is there some way to target the electrical issue, I am assuming the source of the problem?
Hi Uncertain,
I think one supplement worthy of consideration is berberine because it is protective of the heart, including arrythmias and multiple areas of the cardiovascular system as discussed here :
Here is a relevant quote from the link :
' Recent research has shown that berberine has an effect of protecting heart failure, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance, arrhythmias, and platelet aggregation. '
More specifically to your issue of premature ventricular contractions as discussed here :
Here are two relevant quotes from the meta analysis and systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) :
' Berberine is a potential drug that can effectively treat cardiovascular diseases, including premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). '
' Ten RCTs with 896 participants were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed that compared to antiarrhythmic drugs (AD), berberine (BE) combined with AD had a higher effective rate (RR = 1.26; 95% CI:1.12, 1.42; p = 0.0001) with no significant incidence of adverse reactions (RR = 0.93; 95% CI:0.33, 2.57; p = 0.88), and BE alone had no significant difference in effective rate (RR = 0.91; 95% CI:0.77, 1.07; p = 0.23), and a lower incidence of adverse reactions (RR = 0.38; 95% CI:0.15, 0.97; p = 0.04) and recurrence rate (RR = 0.40; 95% CI:0.18, 0.88; p = 0.02).
