Increased pulse rate01:17

Increased pulse rate

857
Tachycardia is a condition marked by an abnormally fast or irregular heart rate, surpassing the typical resting rate. In adults, tachycardia is characterized by a pulse rate ranging from 100 to 180 beats per minute. The increased heart rate can result in inadequate blood flow to various body parts, ultimately diminishing the oxygen supply to organs and tissues.
Many factors can elevate the risk of developing tachycardia. These include advanced age, a family history of arrhythmias, and an...

Factors Influencing Heart Rate01:30

Factors Influencing Heart Rate

5.6K
The heart rate, or pulse rate, is a vital indicator of cardiovascular health. It reflects the number of times the heart beats per minute. Various physiological and environmental factors influence heart rate, increasing or decreasing cardiac output. Understanding these factors is crucial for assessing heart function and identifying potential health issues.
Let us explore the significant factors affecting heart rate, including age, body temperature, posture, acute pain, chemical influences,...

Regulation of Pulse01:20

Regulation of Pulse

1.8K
Pulse regulation involves physiological mechanisms that ensure adequate blood flow throughout the body. The heartbeat, regulated by the autonomic nervous system, is influenced by hormonal balance, physical activity, and emotional state.

Regulation of Heart Rates01:31

Regulation of Heart Rates

3.1K
The regulation of heart rate is a complex process controlled by the autonomic nervous system (ANS), hormonal influences, and intrinsic cardiac mechanisms. The ANS has two main components: the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS).
The SNS increases heart rate through the release of norepinephrine and epinephrine, which act on beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the heart. This action increases the rate of depolarization in the sinoatrial (SA) node, the heart's...

Heart Sounds01:15

Heart Sounds

2.7K
Heart sounds are generated by the turbulence in blood flow due to the closing of heart valves. These sounds are best perceived slightly away from the valves, where the blood flow disseminates the sound.
Auscultation is the process of listening to these internal body sounds using a stethoscope. The heart produces four types of sounds, but only two—S1 and S2—can usually be heard with a stethoscope.
S1, also known as the "lub" sound, is caused by the closure of atrioventricular (A-V)...

Disturbances in Heart Rhythm01:29

Disturbances in Heart Rhythm

1.9K
Arrhythmia or dysrhythmia refers to an abnormal heart rhythm caused by a defect in the heart's conduction system. It can cause the heart to beat irregularly, too quickly, or too slowly, leading to symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and fainting. Factors such as stress, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, certain drugs, congenital defects, diseases, and electrolyte abnormalities can trigger arrhythmias.
Arrhythmias are categorized by their speed, rhythm, and origin. A slow heart...

Summary

Acoustic therapy using hearing aids significantly reduced tinnitus handicap and increased heart rate variability, indicating reduced stress. Heart rate variability may serve as a biomarker for tinnitus treatment efficacy.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Tinnitus is a common condition often associated with hearing impairment.
  • Autonomic nervous system dysfunction, reflected in heart rate variability (HRV), may play a role in tinnitus.
  • Acoustic therapy using tinnitus maskers is a potential treatment modality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of acoustic therapy via hearing aids on autonomic function in tinnitus patients.
  • To assess changes in heart rate variability (HRV) as a measure of autonomic function.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of acoustic therapy in reducing tinnitus handicap.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty-six individuals with tinnitus and hearing impairment participated in an 8-week trial.
  • Participants used hearing aids with tinnitus maskers set below the minimum masking level.
  • Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, resting heart rate, and HRV were measured pre- and post-therapy.

Main Results:

  • A significant reduction in tinnitus handicap was observed post-therapy.
  • No significant change in resting heart rate was found.
  • A significant increase in heart rate variability (HRV) was observed post-therapy.

Conclusions:

  • Acoustic therapy delivered via hearing aids effectively alleviates tinnitus and reduces handicap.
  • The observed increase in HRV suggests a decrease in physiological stress associated with tinnitus.
  • HRV shows potential as a biomarker for monitoring the effectiveness of tinnitus acoustic therapy.
