⚖️ Voluntary Fasting vs. Conventional Therapies in Cardiac Arrhythmias











Discover how voluntary fasting may impact cardiac arrhythmias ❤️. This expert analysis explains therapeutic equivalence, potential benefits, risks, and safe fasting practices for heart rhythm health.



The question of whether voluntary fasting can serve as a replacement for medical treatment for cardiac arrhythmias is a complex one, demanding a considered and evidence-based response.


After careful analysis, this report reaches a firm conclusion: voluntary fasting should not be considered a substitute for medical interventions in the management of cardiac arrhythmias.


While adopting a fasting lifestyle might provide some cardiometabolic benefits, potentially reducing arrhythmia risk factors in generally healthy people, it lacks the precision, proven effectiveness, and immediate life-saving capabilities that standard medical treatments offer.


The main difference lies in how each approach works. Voluntary fasting is a systemic intervention that causes notable changes in metabolism, such as switching from using glucose to ketone bodies for energy.


This can lead to general health improvements, like better blood pressure and insulin sensitivity.


However, these positive changes are indirect. On the other hand, antiarrhythmic medicines and medical procedures are specifically designed and clinically proven to directly influence the heart's electrical system.


In individuals with pre-existing heart issues, fasting's systemic nature can present considerable, even life-threatening, risks.


These include potentially dangerous electrolyte imbalances and hypoglycemia, both of which can trigger serious arrhythmias.


This report combines existing scientific agreement which includes early-stage studies and cautionary findings from extensive observational data.

It also brings attention to a key, unresolved debate within the cardiology community.


Ultimately, for patients with existing heart conditions, and particularly those with specific genetic syndromes, fasting is not only less helpful but is also contraindicated and can be very dangerous.


The consensus among medical organizations is clear: individuals with known arrhythmias should never replace their prescribed medical treatment with voluntary fasting.


1. The Complexities of Cardiac Arrhythmias

What is a Cardiac Arrhythmia?


A cardiac arrhythmia is a condition marked by irregularities in the heart's rate or rhythm.


The heart's consistent and coordinated contractions depend on a precise electrical system.

This system starts at the sinoatrial (SA) node, which is the heart's natural pacemaker that emits electrical impulses.


These signals then move through the atria to the atrioventricular (AV) node and down to the ventricles.


This process prompts a coordinated muscular contraction, which pumps blood throughout the body.

An arrhythmia happens when something disrupts this carefully organized electrical pathway, causing the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or erratically.


1.2 Types of Arrhythmias


Arrhythmias can be grouped based on the heart rate they cause:


Tachycardia: An unusually rapid heart rate, generally above 100 beats per minute. Tachycardias can start in the upper or lower heart chambers and vary in significance.


Atrial Fibrillation (AFib): The most common type of arrhythmia, AFib involves disorganized electrical signals in the upper chambers (atria), which cause a rapid and uncoordinated heartbeat.


AFib can be temporary, or it might need medical treatment to stop.

It greatly increases the risk of stroke because blood clots can develop in the uncoordinated atria.


Atrial Flutter: Similar to AFib, but the heartbeats are more structured and regular, even though they are still fast.

Atrial flutter also presents a stroke risk.



Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT): This is a broad term for irregular heartbeats that originate above the lower chambers (ventricles).


SVT can cause episodes of a racing heartbeat that starts and ceases suddenly.

Ventricular Tachycardia: A rapid, irregular heart rate originating from the lower chambers (ventricles) due to faulty electrical signals.


The fast rate can stop the ventricles from properly filling with blood, potentially making it hard for the heart to pump enough blood to the body.

This condition can be a medical emergency for people with existing heart disease.



Ventricular Fibrillation: The most dangerous type of arrhythmia.

It involves rapid, chaotic electrical signals that make the ventricles quiver instead of pumping in a coordinated way.

If a normal rhythm is not restored within minutes, this condition is fatal and is a frequent cause of sudden cardiac arrest.


Bradycardia: An unusually slow heart rate, typically below 60 beats per minute.


Sick Sinus Syndrome: A condition where the SA node, the heart's natural pacemaker, is not working correctly, causing the heart rate to alternate between being too slow and too fast.


It is most common among older adults and can result from scarring near the sinus node.


Conduction Block: A disruption in the heart's electrical pathways that slows down or stops signals.

It results in skipped or slow heartbeats.


Premature Heartbeats: Additional heartbeats that occur individually, often feeling like a skipped or fluttering beat.


Also known as premature atrial contractions (PACs) or premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), they are often harmless.


However, they can sometimes signal an underlying heart problem.


1.3 Underlying Causes and Risk Factors


Arrhythmias can stem from various factors, including existing heart conditions and general health problems.

Common causes and risk factors include:


* Coronary artery disease

* High blood pressure

* Diabetes

* Congenital heart defects

* Structural heart changes, such as those from cardiomyopathy


Other potential factors are smoking, sleep apnea, certain medicines, and significant emotional stress.


The presence of these general risk factors, like obesity, high blood pressure, and insulin resistance, could appear to support the idea that fasting might help.

One might notice that health enhancements from fasting often target these very same risk factors.

It seems reasonable to think that if fasting can improve high blood pressure, and high blood pressure contributes to arrhythmias, then fasting ought to treat arrhythmias.


This thought progression naturally follows from understanding how interconnected the body's systems are.


But, a detailed investigation reveals that this conclusion is not complete and could be dangerous.


Further in this writing, we will consider how, even though fasting might offer some overall benefits, it also introduces new, direct risks to the heart's electrical stability that must be recognized and understood.


2. How Voluntary Fasting Affects the Body


2.1 The Metabolic Shift: From Glycogen to Ketone Bodies


Voluntary fasting causes a significant metabolic adaptation as the body changes from using glucose to using stored fat as its primary energy source.

The process unfolds in a specific order.


Initial Glycogen Depletion: During the first 24 hours of fasting, the body mainly uses the glucose in the bloodstream.


As blood glucose levels drop, the pancreas reduces insulin secretion and increases glucagon release.


Glucagon acts on the liver, starting the breakdown of stored glycogen into glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), which is then converted to free glucose to keep blood sugar levels steady for the brain and other organs.



Transition to Fat Metabolism: After liver glycogen stores are used up, usually after about 24 hours, the body enters metabolic ketosis.

The main energy source switches to the metabolism of triglyceride stores in adipose tissue.


Fatty acids are released and converted into ketone bodies, like β-hydroxybutyrate (β−HB), in the liver.


The brain and other tissues can use these ketone bodies as an alternative energy source.


This is quite efficient and is a key factor in many of fasting's supposed health benefits.


2.2 Hormonal and Cellular Responses


This metabolic shift is regulated by significant hormonal and cellular changes.


The decrease in insulin and the increase in glucagon are crucial.


Additionally, fasting encourages autophagy, a cellular process where the body cleans out and recycles damaged or unneeded components, such as proteins, lipids, and even whole organelles.


This process is thought to improve energy metabolism and strengthen cellular protection.


It is also a significant research topic for its potential role in the development of cardiovascular diseases.


2.3 The Critical Role of Electrolyte Balance


Although metabolic shifts and cellular responses might be good for overall health, they can create a direct and crucial risk to the heart's electrical system if they disrupt electrolyte balance.


Electrolytes, like sodium, potassium, and magnesium, are inorganic minerals that carry an electrical charge.


They serve many bodily functions, including fluid balance, nerve signaling, and muscle function. Most importantly for this discussion, they primarily maintain the electrical signals that drive the heartbeat.


During a fast, especially a long one, the body loses water rapidly, which is usually part of initial weight loss.


This accelerates how quickly essential electrolytes are excreted through the kidneys. Lower insulin levels during fasting worsen this issue, as low insulin prompts kidney cells to excrete sodium and water.


This reaction can lead to deficiencies in critical electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium, often causing keto flu symptoms.


This creates a critical and conflicting situation. While fasting can be helpful by improving cardiometabolic factors, it also directly risks the heart's electrical stability.


The body's adjustment to a low-insulin state, which helps reduce insulin resistance, directly contributes to the excretion of electrolytes that are essential for keeping a stable heart rhythm. This imbalance can trigger heart palpitations, or, in severe cases, a full-blown arrhythmia.


Therefore, a process intended for metabolic health can sometimes directly cause an electrical problem in the heart.


Because of this, people engaged in extended fasting are often advised to supplement with electrolyte-infused water to reduce this risk.


3. How Fasting Affects Heart Rhythm: A Critical Review


3.1 Indirect Benefits and Areas for Investigation


The positive effects of fasting on heart health are mainly indirect, resulting from its capacity to improve cardiometabolic risk factors.


Studies have shown that various types of fasting can lead to weight loss, which in turn improves blood pressure, cholesterol levels, glucose tolerance, and general vascular health.


Also the ability to improve how sensitive your body is to insulin comes up many times.


These are known benefits that help lower the risk factors for arrhythmias, such as high blood pressure and diabetes.


Although the majority of research on how fasting impacts your heart mainly talks about these indirect benefits, some early research has found there is a direct link.


A research project done on mice that were obese found that if they occasionally fasted, the obesity-related atrial fibrillation was less of a problem.


The authors of the research project found that this was done using a special biological way that involved SIRT3-mediated insulin resistance mitigation, and it happened even if they didn't lose weight during the research project.


While what the research project found is a huge part of the research, because it may say if there can be a direct, treatment that includes more than just weight loss, it's very important to know that the research was done on mice.


There still needs to be human trials to prove the research is safe for people.


3.2 Risks and Potential Negative Results that Have Been Documented


Even though there may be some beneficial non-direct effects and some primary research that has been well-documented so far, there have been a number of notable risks that have come with fasting, mainly for the heart.


The Risks of Electrolyte Imbalance and Hypoglycemia


As discussed in earlier paragraphs, the changes in the body while fasting can be the reason for bad losses of electrolytes, which mostly include sodium, potassium, and magnesium.


Due to the fact that these are important for how the heart works electrically, when the body is lacking them you can start to have very bad symptoms that include heart palpitations.


If the deficiency then becomes something big, the arrhythmias can be even more of an issue.


The chance of hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, can definitely be a worry, mainly for those who have diabetes, and it can then increase the heart rate and even cause some to encounter a heart attack.


A USC-based cardiologist, Keck Medicine, very strongly advises that those who have diabetes patients, who are hypotension patients, and who are those on diuretics stay away from fasting for these specific reasons.



Controversial Observational Studies Analyzed

There was a retrospective study that was broadly shared on social media that was given to an American Heart Association (AHA) meeting in March of 2024 that started a great deal of discussion.


The findings of the analysis from 20,000 adults, the research study found that those who didn't eat for more than eight hours per day were seen to have a 91% higher chance of dying from heart disease.


The dangers of heart disease were found to be much more notable in human beings who before had already had the disease.


Even though the research study was thought-provoking it has been met with a bit of suspicion from certain experts for the following reasons.


What the study demonstrated was more of a correlation and not a cause-and-effect connection.


Simply because individuals spent eight-hour eating periods that doesn't prove that consuming anything within the window of time can create death from heart disease.


There are some confounding variables that can tell us the reason for the observation.


For example, what demographic profile showed from the time-restricted eating group showed there was a much higher percentage of men,


African Americans, smokers, and those individuals also had a much higher BMI (body mass index).


In all of those variables, there was a chance that it increased chances of these groups getting heart disease, whether or not it was due to fasting itself.


The research information can only be as good as the source where the research was taken, and in this case the research relied on what the individuals told the researchers in addition of what the researchers gathered from their food logs, and as such may not be a very accurate representation of what the individuals eat during their day.


Not only were the methods in gathering all the information limited, but on top of that is the research project to dive into the behavioral and biological methods than can connect fasting with heart-related issues.


This can include a higher chance of losing lean muscle, which has been linked to a higher chance of losing life, or compromising food quality that is paired with reward-based eating.


According to the research study that was written up, those individual's who follow these eating guides could eat less nutritious and eat more sugar and meat during that little eating window of time, potentially raising the chances of heart disease and that includes building the cholesterol levels up and TMAO levels.


This observation emphasizes that what kind of food is eaten and the timing of consuming the food is very critical at the same time for good heart health.


Risks That Can Occur From From Pre-Existing Conditions

For specific human beings that have pre-existing condition, fasting can be seriously dangerous and is very much not advised to do from professionals in health.


Brugada Syndrome: Patients that have this type of genetic syndrome are not advised to go fasting.


After a long and dragged out fasting time, the meal that they are eating may have a large release amount of insulin that will make the ECG results to show what is called ST segment elevation, and it can also start dangerous arrhythmias.



Long-QT Syndrome Type 2: Those who have Long-QT Syndrome II, and have issues with pancreatic function are in danger of hyperglycemia while fasting.


The reasons as to why these are dangerous symptoms includes that it can easily cause QT prolongation, which can then lead to malignant and very dangerous arrhythmias.



Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM): Patients with HOCM should not undergo fasting because that will lead to the risk of dehydration.



Uncontrolled Ventricular Arrhythmias: Patients with uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias shouldn't be going fasting whatsoever, and the main reason being there is no supporting clinical data that supports the thought that fasting is safe for this population.


4. Medical Therapies That are Common For Arrhythmias


The most established treatment type for cardiac arrhythmias needs to be a multidisciplinary method that includes the management of pharmacology, what kind of interventions have been made, and if there are any particular ways devices can be implemented/used.


The primary differences between the most common treatments and fasting, includes that standard medical therapies are targeted and have shown that they are beneficial/safe using clinical tests with tests.


4.1 Pharmacological Management


Antiarrhythmic medicines and drugs will be used to treat and also try to hold off cardiac arrhythmias by trying to affect the electrical ability within the heart muscle cells.


There are four different classes to pick form whenever trying to decide if you need an antiarrhythmic medicine/drug.


The classes can be picked based on what ability you want the drug to do.


Class I (Sodium-channel blockers): These types of drugs and medicines are primarily used to block the fast sodium channels inside cardiac cells, which help slow down the rate of depolarization during what they are calling the action potential.


Because Class I's do this is it slows conduction velocity, which can help the individual to get rid of tachyarrhythmias that can be caused by re-entry circuits.


The different medicines in this category can include disopyramide.



Class II (Beta-blockers): Beta-blockers are most commonly going to indirectly affect how the membrane ion conductance affect the adrenaline and/or epinephrine that is within the heart.


If there is a large affect to the adrenalines, it can slow down the heart rate and reduce contractility, making the heart rate to be controlled when it comes to different tachycardias and to assist to keep myocardial infarction from happening.


Some examples would be acebutolol and bisoprolol.



Class III (Potassium-channel blockers): The medicines of Class III normally prolong the action potential and the effective refractory period by blocking the potassium channels.


The point of doing this is to also hold off repolarization to hopefully fully get rid of re-entry tachycardias.


For example, there is amiodarone. It is used for the recurring treatment of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.



Class IV (Calcium-channel blockers): These Class IV drugs are primarily used to block slow-moving, inward calcium channels that will then reduce the pacemaker and slow conduction velocity at the AV node.


These drugs are also used to address hypertension and to keep angina from becoming too bad in patient's.


The different types of drugs are amlodipine and diltiazem.


In addition to the different types of classes, this would then show how digoxin (a Class V cardiac glycoside used for atrial fibrillation) and adenosine (used for some others forms of certain tachycardias) would now be included as a part of the physician's arsenal.


4.2. Medical Procedures and Possible Interventions


If antiarrhythmic medications can't be implemented, for a number of reasons, then other methods can be taken to correct the arrhythmias rather than the medicine.


Catheter Ablation: This is a minimally invasive procedure and helps to be a curative for certain arrhythmias.


During the procedure, a electrophysiologist normally inserts what is called a catheter (which is a small, flexible tube) into a blood vessel. Normally they would try to guide to the chamber within the upper chambers of of the heart.


Whenever that action takes place they would then either create heat that is more accurately know as radiofrequency energy or if the option is to create extreme cold temperatures that is called cryoablation.

What these two temperature extremes do is they create tiny scars on the tissue on your heart.


What those small scars on your heart that the electrophysiologist assist to put on the organ is that it assist to block any possible problem that it encounters that may the the driving force as to why the individuals heart may beat irregularly.



Carioversion: This specific procedure used what you would consider a controlled electric shock to try and put everything back in order for the individual's heart to beat in a regular rhythm .


It can be performed in different cases weather it be during an emergency (what's known as defibrillation) to make sure to keep possible dangerous arrhythmias like ventricular fibrillation or as a scheduled procedure to help fight against atrial fibrillation.


Normally the procedure will be very quick and can be done while the individual's under sedation of some kind.


4.3 Possible Options/Devices That Can Have Implemented Inside a Person


For these patients that are experiencing either dangerous or or chronic arrhythmias, implantable electronic devices are there to assist and provide continuous monitoring and in the case that there is an issue assist the heart to correct itself..


Pacemakers: A small device, usually inside the individuals skin, and is known to send electrical impluses for the heart to assist in helping the organ beat at a typical heart rate.


This can generally be a solution for those whom suffer and deal with bradycardia and/or other conduction disorders.



Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators (ICDs): A Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators primary focus is that it is primarily looking and reporting on what is the current and most recent status of how the heart is doing by keeping up and reporting on where the individual is encountering a dangerous level of arrhythmia's(such as ventricular fibrillation).


If the individual experiences such an event and is facing a life or death situation with those arrhythmia's the electronic device may send out a shock to the heart to hopefully put everything back in order.


A good point about these devices is that it also performs as if the patient has a pacemaker, which would assist those who may suffer from bradycardia.


5. Fasting compared to Medicine What are the differences


To touch quickly on a prior area of the conversation, there was some point as to wether fasting is that of the same as medicine.


That conversation can be quick addressed if we look at the differences between the two types of treatments and why the differences that they contain, either good or bad are important.


5.1 Simple, but Important Difference in Approach


Going back a little bit, the primary point we must highlight is the lifestyle changes between each other, or a targeted professional intervention.


Having antiarrhythmic medicine shows one thing in particular, that everything that is done with this is for treatment and not an experiment,.


For example, a beta-blocker is prescribed to assist in slowing down the heart rate and also keeping track of the beta-adrenergic receptors.


Having a catheter ablation physically gets rid of the tiny but bad tissues that create the issue, whether that being dangerous electrical signal malfunctions.


Overall, the the primary focus is to fix the heart directly whether that be electronically or structurally.


With fasting, on the other hand what this does is make you feel and do a systemic, and non-specific lifestyle change.


Taking a further look, the benefits that come from fasting includes weight loss and assistance in those whom are dealing with insulin sensitivity, and they are normally good on the surface, but cannot be looked at as the main focus of what everyone should be doing.


Meaning that you or doctor should not use something that seems right overall and tell them to go on the diet for long increments of time to have that one sole and only benefit.


The main take away here is to not focus on what seems to be right physically.


As for those with a dangerous arrhythmia, like with the dangerous ventricular fibrillation the individual needs help from a doctor with tools and medicine that are the only things can possibly fix the person rather than time.


5.2 The Level that Everyone Should be Confident in, Possible issues, Risk That May Be Found in Both Options*


Having medication that is meant to assist individuals who deal with arrhythmias has a standard in the cardiology community with the medical treatments being precise with tools and medicine that are always under the supervision of the doctor or electrologist overseeing their patient,


With this it shows and bring great confidence that they are receiving some sort of guarantee. If medication is not needed and the doctors have the option of being either with medicine or physically touching the heart,

then with those comes possible complications, but either with the chance of having a heart medication and having an procedure what is know is that cardiologist that have trained for so long will assist so that way what seems to be the best possible scenario if taken and considered,


it may be great for those to consider that route seeing as its their body.


If we flip everything that we mention there for both medication as well as doctor supervised procedures and we compare with the likes of that of the process of fasting,


what we find is that fasting has no guarantee.


To touch on this more in depth, if we touch on the indirect benefit this then bring a huge issue.


As previously mentioned, there is no guarantee that the problem that someone might face can easily be fixed by changing their dietary habits .With what it comes to losing weight, having blood/sugar/diabetes under control and many more does not mean that all the sudden someone will have a electrical fix.


The potential fix is something someone is considering they should not, since we need to also look as to how electrolytes also affects the body.


With the wrong amounts of electrolytes this can also be the reason as to how and why some might experiences problems.


With medicine and health procedures they are something very serious that are performed under the supervision of trained electrologist and doctors,


While fasting may be seen as a simple way, you are practically diving without any sense of direction.


Please call a cardiologist if you are dealing with or have heard that you may be diagnosed with some sort of arrhythmais


5.3 What Does The Medical Community Consider The Most Regarding Fact and Information Pertaining To Fact


For both cardiologists, electrologist, and a number top tier medical facilities the simple answer has been and will continue to be is that fast is not there to substitute medication.


They all have a primary focus that is to assist their patients with some of the best options that they can come up with for treatment.


You can see this with how certain cardiological facilities such as Turkish Society of Cardiology and many more point out and show their opinions that they recommend those with arrhythmais, in order to possibly not encounter life or death situations.


For those with different conditions should not being partaking in fasting due to a number of reason why.


If we have a quick recap we can organize both methods of care with this

Conclusion and Recommendation Given With Years in Practice in Mind


There is a lot to consider, some of with can make a difference when it comes to the patients well being, while fasting can have some benifits, that does not mean it is a means for everything,


It is an okay method that anyone should take and say its better rather than taking medication that may actually help treat what they consider problem.


Before taking and starting a diet, it would be in the individual better interest to contact a doctor, especially a cardiologist.


These would be our recommendation for those that have a heat related issue and want to go doing a diet


In order to have a overall well being, please make an informative consultation with a cardiologist.

⚖️ Voluntary Fasting vs. Conventional Therapies in Cardiac Arrhythmias – Dr. Hassan Alwarraqi’s Opinion


Conventional therapies for cardiac arrhythmias remain the cornerstone of modern cardiology.

Medications, procedures, and monitoring should never be abandoned without medical supervision.


However, voluntary fasting — especially patterned approaches such as alternate-day fasting (similar to the practice attributed to Prophet David, peace be upon him, fasting every other day) — offers a promising complementary mode of therapy.


When practiced safely under medical guidance, voluntary fasting may help regulate metabolic processes, reduce oxidative stress, improve autonomic balance, and support overall cardiovascular health.


💡 Dr. Hassan Al Warraqi’s recommendation:


“Keep your medicine as it is, but give your fasting a chance.

Try alternate-day fasting for three months alongside your prescribed treatment. This integrative approach may provide additional benefits for heart rhythm stability while respecting both medical science and traditional wisdom.”












Frequently Asked Questions About Fasting and Arrhythmias


Based on current research, here are some common questions about fasting in relation to heart arrhythmias:


Q: Can fasting be used to treat or control heart arrhythmia?


A: No, fasting is not a recognized or recommended treatment for heart arrhythmia.

In fact, it can be potentially dangerous for individuals with this condition.

While fasting might lead to indirect improvements, such as weight reduction, medical treatments like medication or ablation are designed to directly address the problem and have demonstrated success.

It is vital to seek advice from a healthcare professional for suitable care.


Q: What are the primary risks of fasting for someone who has an existing heart condition?


A: Fasting can lead to several issues that increase the risk of arrhythmia.

These include electrolyte imbalances, dehydration, and drops in blood sugar.

These disturbances can induce palpitations or cause severe arrhythmias.

Those who have conditions like Brugada syndrome or Long-QT syndrome face an especially increased risk.


Q: Does the 2024 AHA study prove that intermittent fasting results in sudden cardiac death?


A: The 2024 AHA study suggests a connection between intermittent fasting and cardiovascular death, but it does not definitively prove that fasting is the direct cause.


The study's conclusions are constrained by aspects such as reliance on self-reported data and the existence of other variables that could have influenced the results.


More research is required to establish a causal relationship.


Q: Who should refrain from fasting?


A: Certain individuals should avoid fasting due to the risks involved. This includes people diagnosed with arrhythmias, diabetes, or hypotension, and those who take particular drugs like diuretics.


People who have genetic disorders like Brugada syndrome or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HOCM) should also avoid fasting, as they are at greater risk of severe consequences.


Q: Is it safe to fast if I am generally healthy?


A: Brief periods of fasting might be acceptable for otherwise healthy individuals and potentially provide some benefits.

If you have any cardiovascular risk factors, it is important to seek medical guidance before attempting it.
