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 often not even diagnosed due to the absence of symptoms and in many cases allows people to lead normal lives. Possible manifestations include arrhythmias (which can cause sudden death), symptoms from obstruction of blood outflow from the left ventricle (such as dizziness and fainting), heart failure, and myocardial ischemia.

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.

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.

Aortic valve replacement

When the condition of the aortic valve is severe and the insufficiency is exposing the patient to heart failure, as well as the possibility of developing other, serious, life-threatening conditions, aortic valve replacement is the way to go.

Risk factors, complications, and prevention in mitral valve disease

A problem with the heart valves may occur because of a congenital defect, or because of a special health condition, or because of the effects of aging.

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.

Working professions in mitral valve disease
