Inherited Cardiac Conditions ICC

Condition:

Definition:

Inherited cardiac conditions (ICC) is an umbrella term covering a wide variety of relatively rare diseases of the heart. They are also referred to as genetic cardiac conditions.

ICCs are caused by a fault – also known as a mutation – in one or more of our genes. If someone has a faulty gene, there’s a 50/50 chance it can be passed on to your children.

The effects of these conditions on you and your family can be enormous. These conditions can – in some cases – become life-threatening. These conditions do not always have symptoms, so you can be unaware you have the conditions. Sadly, this can sometimes mean that the first time a family is aware of being affected is after a sudden cardiac death (SCD).

However, great improvements are being made in the detection of ICCs and also how you can live with your condition. There are effective treatments which allow you to lead a normal life.

Symptom:

Sometimes people don’t experience many signs and symptoms, but the main symptoms of familial arrhythmia are:

palpitations
fainting or blackouts (also known as syncope or “near” faint)

The majority of children and young adults with syncope have a normal heart disease and no major heart rhythm problem.

However, it’s really important to speak to your GP or health professional if you – or a member of your family – have suffered unexplained fainting, especially if it’s happened more than once.

Description:

Different inherited heart conditions

Familial cardiomyopathies
These include:

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)

idiopathic or familial Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM)

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC)

restrictive cardiomyopathy

Familial arrhythmias

These include:

Long QT syndrome (LQTS)
Brugada syndrome
Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT)
Short QT Syndrome (SQTS)
Marfan syndrome

Marfan syndrome is an inherited – or genetic – condition that affects the body’s connective tissues. Connective tissues provide support and structure to other tissues and organs.

There is a 50/50 chance that someone with Marfan syndrome will have a child with the condition, but Marfan syndrome is relatively rare – around 1 in 5,000 people have the syndrome.

Protocol:

Topically apply the following :

Heart Restore Blend, 5 drops, over the heart, twice a day

Chest Blend 50ml 100ml, up to 30 drops, over the chest, twice a day, to assist with tightness in the chest

Essential oils to diffuse (see below) are :

Basil 5ml 10ml

Clary Sage 5ml 10ml

Eucalyptus 5ml 10ml

Frankincense 5ml 10ml

Lavender 5ml 10ml

Ylang-Ylang 5ml 10ml

Support the heart by drinking 1 capsule, High Blood Pressure Support Blend, once a day.

1 – 2 teaspoons, MZN 150g 450g, once a day; swallow the MZN, as you would swallow yogurt.

Diffuse 2-3 drops (unless otherwise stated) of each oil; maximum 10-12 drops in total, at a time.

NOTE: Always use an ultrasonic diffuser (with a diffusing duration of at least 8 hours), to diffuse pure essential oils. Do not use a humidifier, air purifier, or a candle, as they only smell good and have no further effect. An electric, ultrasonic, diffuser dispenses essential oils into the air through vibrations of a plate which causes ultrasonic waves, creating microscopic particles of oils that disperse into the air. It, therefore, breaks open the essential oil volatile molecules, to have a medicinal effect in that it can penetrate through the blood-brain barrier. It is always good to use a diffuser at night while you are sleeping.
