What Causes Irregular Heartbeat?
Irregular heartbeat or arrhythmias can be experienced by people of all ages. Common triggers can be but not limited to cardiovascular disease, thyroid disease, lifestyle, environmental, and genetic factors. Certain types of arrhythmia occur in people with severe heart conditions, and can cause sudden cardiac death. Some of these deaths could be avoided if the arrhythmias were diagnosed earlier.

Examining heart tissue with 3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Detection of heart tissue abnormalities with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology using a magnetic field strength of 3 Tesla (3.0 Tesla), combined with modern software, results in high-resolution MRI images. This enables quality diagnosis of tissue abnormalities, heart muscle, and blood vessels.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) 3.0 Tesla
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form detailed pictures of the inside of your body. It is a non-invasive tool that uses strong magnetic fields, electric field gradients, and radio waves to generate images of the organs in the body. MRI does not involve X-rays and the use of ionizing radiation. The strength of the magnet of the system determines the quality of the imaging possible with the MRI system.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) Replacing An Aortic Valve Without Open Heart Surgery
Age related, or degenerative valvular heart disease, represents the most common etiology of aortic stenosis in the elderly population. It occurs when the heart's aortic valve narrows. This narrowing prevents the valve from opening fully, which reduces or blocks blood flow from your heart into the main artery to your body and onward to the rest of your body. When the blood flow through the aortic valve is reduced or blocked, your heart needs to work harder to pump blood to your body. Once severe obstruction has developed, death occurs within 3 years unless the aortic valve is replaced.

Rheumatic Heart Disease and Pregnancy
Rheumatic heart disease is a complication of rheumatic fever in which the heart valves have been permanently damaged. Recent clinical researches indicate that the mortality rate from this disease remains up to 1.5 % of all causes of death among Thai population. Typically, rheumatic heart disease does not produce any noticeable signs and symptoms in its early stage.
