  • Using ultrasound and a prototype waterproof monitor, medics and researchers are watching Ben Lecomte's heart closely. Can the way we examine his EKG waves in ocean waves help us prevent fatal heart disease?
    *Note: at 3:30 when the video depicts the ECG signal, the intervals would not be measured diagonally as depicted conceptually, but with straight lines. Learn more at www.medicine.mcgill.ca/physio...

    How Advances in Wearable Cardiac Monitors Improve the Patient and Clinician Experience
    www.dicardiology.com/article/...
    "The newest devices are small, lightweight, water-resistant, disposable, and can be worn for up to seven days. This extended time period allows for efficient diagnosis of a variety of irregular heart rhythms, including the most common form - atrial fibrillation (AF)."
    Artificial intelligence could help diagnose a deadly heart condition
    www.cnbc.com/2018/05/10/alive...
    "AliveCor built a deep neural network using EKG results from more than 1,000 patients with congenital LQTS and more than 1,000 patients without it. The system identified relevant features and continued to learn from the data. It detected the condition in people where the length of electrical waves measured in an EKG were indistinguishable from normal ones - picking up on signals doctors hadn't seen. This could help diagnose people earlier and prevent sudden deaths, Ackerman said."
    Can cold water swimming treat depression?
    www.bbc.com/news/health-45487187
    "This is called "cross-adaptation", where one form of stress adapts the body for another. There is increasing evidence linking depression and anxiety with the inflammation that accompanies a chronic stress response to the physical and psychological problems of modern life. Through cross-adaptation, cold water swimming may be able to reduce this chronic stress response together with the inflammation and mental health problems that affect so many of us."

    Ben Lecomte's historic swim across the Pacific Ocean is a feat that can’t be missed. Join us as we dive into the most extensive data set of the Pacific Ocean ever collected. Learn about the technology the Seeker crew is using to deter sharks away from Ben and measure the impact of the long-distance swim on his mind and body. Ben's core mission is to raise awareness for ocean health issues, so we’ll investigate key topics such as pollution and plastics as he swims closer to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, discover potential consequences from climate change, and examine how factors like ocean currents can impact his progress along the way.
    Seeker explains every aspect of our world through a lens of science, inspiring a new generation of curious minds who want to know how today’s discoveries in science, math, engineering and technology are impacting our lives, and shaping our future.

    "You didn't answer the question" - Gummi
    Hey Seekers,
    We hear you! We hear you! We changed the title of the video to more accurately reflect its content. Just a note about the old title: “What Happens to the Human Heart After Months of Swimming?” The answer is: it thickens, blood flow improves, it may harden which could be a problem, but overall Ben is healthy and doing great. Problem is…. we just don’t know everything yet 😉Turns out, science moves a lot slower than production, and if it didn't...we'd be in trouble! But stay tuned to The Swim here and at Seeker.com for updates on all the research projects onboard as more data pours in. Thanks for keepin’ us clickbait-free!
    Love,
    Seeker

      I’m a RN and I can conclude that this video did not go over the pathology of what happens to the heart after a month of extreme exercise. What was his heart function and activity level before, during, and after the study?!? This was just 5 minute advertisement for the heart monitor if you ask me! 🤷🏽‍♀️

    • @Yoarashi

      Of course they haven't answered the question, the study isn't finished yet because they're not done gathering data - and won't be until the swim is over. This is an intro to the study that covers the questions of what, how, and why. Final answers will come later.

    We got it, your expedition helps research and technology...
    I am not interested in your devices, I was interested in the collected data and what correlations you found regarding to the question in the title. You have not answered the question, therefore it was clickbait. Disappointed, it was not the first time you have done so as well... Unsubscribed.
    EDIT:
    They said that they changed the title and (almost) promised to never try click-baiting us again.
    EDIT2: In my opinion the title is still misleading, as it makes it seem that you will provide answer. Or maybe you did not change the title yet?
    To Seeker: I do not say that you should post inconclusive data or research. All I am saying is, that you would stand by your title. Depending on how you form the title, my expectations for the content change, which is only natural, isn’t it?

    Run, Swim, or exercise too vigorously and you can quite literally scar your heart.

  • @satatik21
    @satatik21 5 лет назад +10

    I'm guessing the same thing as marathon runners. The heart hardens and develops scar tissue. After decades of extreme training sudden death can occur during even routine runs. Long term extreme endurance training is very lethal.

    His heart was already beating at 94 beats per minute and he wasn't even swimming yet? He needs to see a doctor. If he is in great shape his heart rate should be a little bradycardic. More like 50-60 bpm.
