Connection With Heart Disease And Cd?

[VydorScope]

I am to young for this, not even hit middle age yet, but couple years ago I was diagnosed with heart condition. Its likly it been there most of my life, but unknown till a radom EKG was run on me with realtion to a differnet matter. I have what is known as a Left Bundle Branch Block. This means the nerve on the left side of my heart, the one responisble for beating the heart, is completely dead. The design of the heart has a way to compenstate for this by sending the beat signel down the right side nerve and having it jump to the left side via the muscles. If not for this design I would be dead. How ever, this "backup" method is not as effecitent as the normal way, so my heart pumps slightly out of beat, and somewhat signifigantly less blood then it should. My Cardio-doc says I may need a pacemaker down the road a bit. There is no known cuase for it in me that they could find at the time.

So I was wondering, is there a known celiac disease connection?

It's not an inherited condition? Were you born with it or did it develop later in life?

No one else in my family has it. And as far as we know I was born with a healthy heart. BUT heres the thing it only shows up in a EKG, or other heart scan (MUGA, Echocardiogram, etc). My first EKG at a docs offics was when it was discovered, so no way to know when it set in. I was 27 or 28 at the time.

All of my reading re: celiac disease links celiac disease with other digestive issues and hormonal (like thyroid and now pcos). I kinda doubt that there's a link, but then again, the more research done with regards to celiac disease and its effects the more pervasive it seems. But I'm leaning more towards another abnormality causing it. My mother has mytral valve prolapse, no one else in her generation or preceding generations have heart problems, but now it was discovered recently in my brother at age 44. And it's known that this kind of heart problem is inherited.

I also have mitral valve prolapse. This was not discovered until three years after the Celiac symptons started. I don't know of anyone in my family having this heart condition. I wonder if Celiac can affect the heart?

Well, there isn't a lot of research on celiac disease and heart disease, but there is some, and most of it seems to show higher rates of heart disease among celiac disease patients.

My husband had a five way bypass at 34 so I am so glad he decided to go gluten-free with me. I dont know if celiac caused this as he doesnt want to get tested he says its a waste of money.. but he is going gluten-free.

Interesting topic?
