What is Congestive Heart Failure?

Heart failure is the most common disease of the day and spreading day by day in our new generation. What is Congestive Heart Failure? What is a Left Ventricular Failure? What Causes Heart Failure?
We need to know about this to control this disease. Otherwise it is said that in the next few years there will be at least one member of everything the families will suffer from this disease.So We will tell you about the symptoms / causes and effects and Medication / treatment of this disease Heart failure, sometimes known as congestive heart failure, occurs when your heart muscle does not have blood as well as it should not pump. Certain conditions, such as constricted veins in your heart (coronary heart disease) or high blood pressure, gradually leave your heart too weak or filling tightly and pumping efficiently.
What are Heart Failure Causes? Heart failure is caused by many conditions that affect the heart muscle, including damage: Coronary heart disease. Coronary artery disease (CAD), a disease of the arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the heart, causes decreased blood flow to the heart muscle. If the veins become blocked or severely constricted, the heart becomes hungry for oxygen and nutrients. Heart attack.
A heart attack occurs when a coronary is suddenly blocked, stops the flow of blood to the heart muscle. A heart attack damages the heart muscle, leading to a fresh area that does not function properly. Cardiomyopathy. Damage to the heart muscle Problems arise from sources other than artery or blood, such as from infections or alcohol or drug abuse causes. Conditions that overwork the heart.
Conditions including high blood pressure, valve disease, thyroid disease, kidney disease, diabetes, or Heart defects present at birth can already cause heart failure. In addition, heart failure can occur when a few illnesses or conditions are present stop. What is the treatment / medication of heart failure Eat a healthy diet.
Limit your intake of sodium (salt) to less than 2000 mg (2 grams) each day. Eat foods high in fiber. limit foods high in trans fat, cholesterol, and sugar. Reduce total daily calorie intake to lose weight if needed. Exercise regularly. A regular cardiovascular exercise program, prescribed by your doctor, will help improve your strength and make you feel better. It can also reduce heart failure progress.
Don’t overdo it. Plan your activities and close rest periods during the day. Some activities, such as pushing or pulling heavy objects and shoveling can cause heart failure and worsen symptoms. Prevent respiratory infections. Ask your doctor about flu and pneumonia vaccines. Take your medicine as prescribed. do not Stop taking them without first contacting your doctor. Get emotional or psychological support as needed.
Heart failure can be difficult for your entire family. If you have questions, ask your cardiologist or nurse. If you need emotional support, social workers, psychologists, ministers, and Congestive heart failure support groups are a phone call away.

A-FIB VERSUS JUNCTIONAL RHYTHMS

. ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: On your rhythm strip, the two most important characteristics are: . 1) A rhythm that’s IRREGULARLY irregular (meaning there’s no way to predict the next beat) 2) No discernible P waves . In fact, if you notice an irregularly irregular rhythm and you’re having to convince yourself that you see P waves... it’s probably A-fib (multifocal atrial arrhythmias like WAP/MAT could fit the differential) . *In my opinion: Don’t get caught up in using fibrillation waves as an absolute criteria. Very fine A-fib can sometimes produce a near isoelectric line between beats. . JUNCTIONAL RHYTHMS: The pacemaker cells surrounding the AV junction are capable of initiating regular impulses but at a slightly slower natural rate than their sinus and atrial superiors. The heart is built this way so that when the pacemaker cells with the fastest intrinsic rates are in action, those below are suppressed and function primarily to pass along the impulse from above. . For these reasons, we s...

The Pathway of Blood

Here’s a great illustration on the pathway of blood flow through the heart. It may seem easy...but you should know this cold as well as the cardiac anatomy, both of which will make procedures and understanding hemodynamics easier. . . . đŸ’™VENOUS BLOOD- Blood flows into the heart (into the right atrium) through two major veins (the superior and inferior vena cava) as well as from the coronary sinus (cardiac venous blood from the coronaries) and then out through the first AV valve (tricuspid valve) into the right ventricle. From there blood flows into the right ventricular outflow tract, across the first semilunar valve (pulmonic valve) and into the main and then left and right pulmonary arteries. Blood then enters the lungs to become oxygenated. . . . ❤️ARTERIAL BLOOD- now that blood is oxygenated flow goes from the lungs into the left atrium through 4 veins (usually) called the pulmonary veins. From the left atrium blood flows across the other AV valve (mitral valve) and into the left ...

How to Stop Ectopic Beats

What is Ectopic Beats? According to Dr. Boon Lim - Ectopic beats are also known as Ectopic Heart Rhythm or cardiac ectopy. It is produced when the heart creates a premature beat, usually followed by a brief pause. Types of Ectopic Beats: 1. Premature Ventricular Contraction (PVC) 2. Premature Atrial Contraction (PAC) Causes Of Ectopic Beats There are different causes of Ectopic Beats. Some of these are  Excessive alcohol consumption Excessive caffine consumptionPrescription drugs Stress (which produces high adrenaline levels) Exercise Diarrhoea and vomitting, which may disturb electrolyte levels (typically low potassium levels) Heart muscle damage from a heart attack Heart enlargement (cardiomyopathy) Valvular heart disease, such as a floppy mitral valve (mitral valve prolapse) Symptoms of Ectopic Beats Following Can Be The Symptom of Ectopic Beats: your heart is fluttering you are hyper aware of your heartbeat you feel faint or ...
