Does Keto Cause Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июн 2024
- Ketogenic therapy is an effective treatment for many health conditions from metabolic dysfunction to type 2 diabetes to neurological and psychiatric conditions like bipolar disorder, major depression, and schizophrenia. It is important that individuals get accurate information about how a medical keto diet might influence their long-term health outcomes. Unfortunately, sometimes poorly designed studies are a source of misinformation that can cause people to fear medical keto unnecessarily.
In this video, Dr. Bret Scher shares an example of a misleading article from 2019 published by the American Heart Association that suggests a correlation between low-carb diets and Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), a heart condition that causes palpitations and can even lead to heart attack or stroke. For anyone interested in a keto diet, it is critical to note that there is a difference between a low-carb diet and a ketogenic diet. The therapeutic properties of a medical keto diet are due to the physiologic state of ketosis, not simply from eating a diet that is relatively lower-carb when compared to the Standard American Diet (SAD). Participants in the study ate far too many grams of carbs to be consistently in a state of ketosis, and the study had confounding factors that could easily skew results.

As a Cardiologist, Cardiac Electrophysiologist and Metabolic Health Practitioner. You are correct. I have found a fib is suppressed by ketosis
I've got to add to this,I've had afib since aug 2019 and had two cardoiversions and now 2nd ablation has stopped afib,I've found being in ketosis reduces my afib dramatically,I've also lost nearly 10stone in those years,I'm now not addicted to the hyperprossed foods and find my energy levels increased,our doctors don't lie there just not educated in nutrition,it's time to educate not medicate ,thankyou Bret and the team
I guess it is me against the American College of Cardiology .
I had five cardioversions (electric shock paddles) from 1998 ro 2009. In 2009 I started a keto diet for other reasons, bit with the hope that reduced inflammation would help my A Fib.
Fast forward 15 years of true low carb and I have had ZERO A FIB the entire time. Of course my doctor had no reason to believe that my diet had any effect (I was eating a high carb Mediterranean style when I had AFib)
The lasr six years have been carnivore and i train strenuous running and lifting with no ill effects in my late 60s.
But medicine has no use for my N=1.
Red meat, eggs and dairy fat saved my life, as it has for tens of thousands.
Medicine seems to oftentimes misunderstand the keto diet .Congradulations on recognising this .
This is so true,I hope I'm in that space in 10 years 👍😁
I was diagnosed with AFib about 10 years ago and surgery to stabilise along with beta blocker and blood thinners. My surgeon advised high carb diet / alcohol was main cause. Since going carnivore about 6 months ago. I have not had one episode of AFib. 🙏
I imagine people who don't get electrolytes on keto may have issues with heart rhythm issues. Make sure to get electrolytes drops in your water and heart patients usually need low sodium electrolyte drops. As keto takes water off you.
They are absolutely wrong. Keto and carnivore keeps my rhythm stable.
Why are so many ''reputable'' organizations publishing or endorsing studies without someone having a close look at the study design and interpretation? Who actually signs off on that? It is so frustrating.
For them, it's a feature, not a bug.
I love your videos.
I believe in what you folks speak about. I am on keto and haven't had any afib problems for a few years.
I developed paroxysmal Afib long ago when I was eating an almost obsessively "healthy" vegetarian + pescatarian Mediterranean-style low fat high carb diet. I have no idea if that diet caused my Afib. For years I have been on long term meds. and have had no Afib events. More recently, I have been eating very low carb / keto since late 2017 but continue to have no Afib events and continue to take the meds. Maybe I don't need them, but I have been warned I risk going in to permanent Afib if I stop. I wish we had known in the past what we are learning now.
Had Afib when i was not tracking my salt intake while on Keto
More convincing study is the research on mice! I suggest to do one video.
I did feel like crap on it. I really hoped it would help so I do feel quite bad to provide that info.
Ah No!
2:49 , 2:55 are they saying "Carbage" lol thats a new one I'll have to use :D
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just avoid ever being 'Cabbaged', Coronary Artery Bypass Graft 😳
@@sylvestervoigt9836 "carbagged"
From my understanding the easiest way to stay under 20g carbs daily is mostly carnivore with low carb cruciferous vegetables ? I’ve been eating 3-4 avocados and lots of nuts daily
Above-ground veggies are very low in net carbs, so they make an excellent carb source for ketogenic diets. Here's a guide with more detailed information www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto/foods
But can a ketotic diet help reverse Afib?
Ketogenic therapy can help or even resolve hypertension, diabetes, and sleep apnea - all of which are contributing factors for atrial fibrillation.
😃
1 1/2 months into keto and anxiety symptoms seemed to have returned :/
