FAINTING: IS IT YOUR HEART?
When does fainting Means heart disease?

Although less common, certain serious heart problems can cause fainting. The most common heart-related causes for fainting are problems with the heart’s electrical system, which can result in a too-slow heartbeat, known as bradycardia, or a too-fast heartbeat, known as tachycardia, according to Harvey Kramer, MD, a cardiologist at Danbury Hospital in Connecticut and an Assistant Professor of medicine at Yale University School of Medicine.
 
 Other less common heart-related causes of fainting include an enlarged, weakened heart, a tear in the aorta, or damage to the heart muscle from a heart attack.

Fainting may also be a sign of a valve disorder. Your heart has four valves, all of which must open and shut properly to keep blood flowing smoothly going through your heart. If there is a valve problem, your body including your brain, may not receive enough oxygenated blood, and fainting can occur, Dr. Kramer says. The valve problem most commonly responsible for fainting is aortic steno sis, which is the stiffening of the aortic valve, your heart’s main vessel. The condition usually occurs with age.


WHAT SHOULD YOU DO WHEN YOU FAINT?
“The bottom line is that, if your doctor cannot come up with a reason you fainted, or if it is not a benign reason, for example you were overdoing it in the heat or you got queasy because you were having blood drawn, then you need to see a cardiologist so cardiac causes can be ruled out”. Kramer says.
