 Do You Have A Heart Condition?
Heart diseases have been a major health problem in the United States for years and are the leading cause of death.
Acquired disorders of the heart are due to hereditary, environmental, and infectious processes that damage the heart muscle, the coronary arteries, the heart valves, or the conduction tissue.
This heart condition is not new, and in fact the Bible mentions it on several occasions.

 Heart Block
Heart Block is a type of bradycardia (too-slow heartbeat) that also is called atrioventricular, or AV block.
In this condition, the electrical signals that stimulate heart muscle contractions are partially or totally blocked between the upper chambers (atria) and the lower chambers (ventricles).
Treatment may also be necessary if bundle branch block is caused by an underlying heart condition, such as damage to the heart muscle from a heart attack (myocardial infarction).

 Please Pray for the Nilsen Family
They could take him home from the hospital and wait for him to die, they could wait for a heart transplant which would be unlikely to happen in time, or they could begin a series of reconstructive surgeries that could possibly save his life.

I have two heart conditions, the first is Mitral Valve Prolapse and the second is Atrial Fibrillation.
Mitral valve is one of the valves of the heart, whose function is to keep the blood flowing in one direction through the left side of the heart, and to prevent backflow of blood when the heart contracts.
During a normal heart beat, an electrical impulse originates in the right atrium in the sinoatrial node (SA node) and travels simultaneously to the left atrium and down the interatrial septum to the atrioventricular node (AV node).
