Botox injections can apparently control the heartbeat

Botox injections can apparently control the heartbeat - Hear the word Botox, which is on your mind must be beauty treatments and injections to make skin wrinkle free and youthful. However, recently researchers discovered other benefits of botox injections, which control the erratic heartbeat.

If Botox is injected in the fat around the heart, he will stop the nerve causes the heart rate abysmally. With this injection, the heart rate will return to normal and calm. This treatment is performed on patients who have atrial fibrillation, the heart rate abnormalities.

Atrial fibrillation occurs when the heart chambers to contract is not in harmony. Usually this is caused by an error on the part of the body triggers the heartbeat. This error signal is then sent to the heart tissue and causes it to contract at the wrong time. Such abnormalities increases as a person gets older.

In some cases patients with atrial fibrillation will experience fatigue, weakness, dizziness, and reduced ability to exercise. Other symptoms are loss of blood being pumped around the body. This can be caused by smoking or drinking alcohol.

Botox works by stopping the signals sent between nerve and muscle, as reported by the Daily Mail. When used for beauty treatments, Botox can freeze the muscles around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, thus making wrinkles more subtle and invisible.

This method has been tested on 60 patients who have heart surgery. Atrial fibrillation is one of the side effects of heart surgery, and the condition is likely to get even worse up to 50 percent.
