Kelsey Grammer back in the hospital with irregular heartbeat

]]> Remember when beloved Cheers and Frasier star Kelsey Grammer had a ’small’ heart attack last month. Well, he is back in the hospital. It is so scary. Even for celebrities- remember they are real people as well.  He had just come out last week and stated how scary his heart attack was. Mr. Grammer said that he almost died and that his heart actually stopped and needed to be hit twice to revive him.

Television star Kelsey Grammer is back in hospital with an irregular heartbeat, two months after suffering a heart attack the actor has said nearly killed him.

Kelsey presented to the hospital feeling faint and tired. Most likely his irregular heart beat is caused by his medication he is taking to help with his heart muscle and post MI effects. Good luck to him- hope he is back on his feet soon!

Heart Condition Saturday: Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome

]]> Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a rare heart condition that affects between 0.1 and 3% of the general population with many of these people never experiencing a symptom in their lives. For some, however, an attack can be very severe.

WPW is a condition in which the electrical signals of the heart is abnormal leading to pre-excitation syndromes. Symptoms include:

  • Extremely rapid heart beat that jumps up very quickly
  • Dizziness
  • Chest palpitations
  • Fainting during physical exertion
  • Cardiac arrest in extreme cases

Jeff Carter was one such person with WPW. In June 2005, his mother found him after he had already collapsed and suffered severe brain damage. She is now trying to raise the money to bring him home and keeps a log of his progress at Just4Jeff.info.
