hemoglobin

[sic em cats]

I have a question...I am doing a research paper and I was curious if hemoglobin is the key to a healthy heart beat?

[insane_alien]

well yeah blood always helps a heart to beat. haemoglobin are bloodcells.

[Bluenoise]

Yeah I'd say without heamoglobin you'd have a hard time having a heart beat.

I don't know what you mean by a "healthy heartbeat"? The way that your heat beats doesn't have much to do with haemoglobin (I can spell, I'm just British...). Haemoglobin is the red stuff in red blood cells and carries oxygen.

[Kermit]

And at times when you have conditions like sickle cell anemia, your blood cells don't have as much hemoglobin and so you feel more and more tired due to less oxygen circulating.

Haemoglobin is the measure of iron in your blood, if i am not mistaken, and it is important for enough oxygen to get around your whole body. People with low Haemoglobin (Anemic) can show symptoms like, getting a headache when they do various activities, fatigue etc. although there there are cases when people actually feel normal with a dangerously low level of Haemogoblin as their bodies are able to adapt.

well, hemoglobin is the oxygen-binding protein of the red-blood cell, but close enough.

Hemoglobin does have an iron group.

It's not that it has less haemoglobin, it's that the red blood cells change shape because of deoxygenation due to abnormal haemoglobin

I don't think that's the only important thing... obese people for example tend to not have a healthy heart beat, as in it is significantly higher than that of average people
