Heart failure: disorders of the heart

Heart failure refers to a dysfunction as a result of which the heart can no longer meet the needs of the body, causing reduced blood flow and accumulation (congestion) of blood in the veins and lungs and/or other changes that can further weaken or stiffen the heart.

Heart failure can occur in individuals of any age, even in young children (especially those with congenital heart disease). However, it is much more common among the elderly, as this population is more prone to diseases that predispose to heart failure (such as coronary artery disease, which damages the heart muscle) or heart valve disease. Age-related cardiac changes can also make the heart less efficient.

Bad habits that make the Thyroid sick

This gland, when threatened by disturbing factors, reacts with dysfunctions that then spread throughout the body.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a condition in which the heart muscle thickens, becoming hypertrophic, in the absence of dilation of the ventricles. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy affects men and women equally. It is

Fat accumulation in the abdomen: the risks and solutions

A waistline invaded by fat accumulation poses a serious health hazard by exposing people to many ailments and different types of diseases. Abdominal fat gradually may increase giving rise to Central Obesity.

Mitral valve regurgitation

It is a condition in which the mitral valve leaflets do not close tightly, causing blood to leak backward into the left atrium of the heart.

Prevention and risk factors of aortic valvulopathy

Aortic insufficiency is a direct result of improper closure of the valve, which causes blood pumped from the left ventricle to be redirected.

Diving, the basic rules

The human body, while moving through water, swimming or diving, knows that it poses a constant danger since it cannot survive under this element except with reserves of air. Never dive alone.

The traumatic shock syndrome

Traumatic shock can be secondary to trauma of any nature.

The emotional crisis resulting from cardiovascular disease

When the physician or cardiology specialist approaches the person who is having acute myocardial ischemia there is frenzied behavior aimed at the prompt resolution of the ischemia.

Application of Pace-Maker

Each pace-maker consists of two basic parts: a pulse generator and one or two electrodes that are run from the generator to the heart muscle.

Working professions in mitral valve disease

It is well known that risk factors for heart disease include habits such as excessive alcohol use, such as smoking, a high-protein and high-fat diet, and also genetic factors, while less consideration is often given to factors of occupational origin.

Blow to the heart

A “heart murmur” is not in itself a pathology , but merely a signal that the blood inside the heart is flowing too fast or in a “disordered” manner, producing

Diseases of the heart valves
