it means the left side of your heart not working properly. the valves are bad or the muscle is weak.
heart FAILure
left heart failure
Congestive heart failure - right-sided occurs in 1 in 20 people. It is a condition in which the right side of the heart loses its ability to pump blood efficiently.
Yes, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) can lead to heart failure. LVH occurs when the heart's left ventricle thickens in response to increased workload, often due to high blood pressure or other heart conditions. Over time, the thickened muscle may become stiff, impairing the heart's ability to pump effectively and leading to heart failure. Additionally, LVH can disrupt the heart's electrical system, increasing the risk of arrhythmias and further contributing to heart failure.
Could be one of few: Temponade, Heart failure, Congestive Heart Failure, Left Heart Failure.
Pulmonary congestion
Heart failure is when the heart cannot pump the blood out as fast as it is comming back in. As a result pressure builds in the veins and fluid leaks into the surrounding tissues. If the left heart fails the fluid goes into the lungs and causes shortness of breath and eventually right heart failure. If the right heart is failing, either due to left heart failure or on its own, you get swelling in the legs and abdomen.
A heart attack itself will not directly damage your liver unless it's related to long term heart failure. If you have right-side heart failure, your liver will not be affected. If you have left-side heart failure your liver may become enlarged.
An excessive overload of the left atrium in the human heart is referred to as Left Atrial Enlargement. It can be caused by hypertension, obesity or congestive heart failure.
Left Atrial Abnormality is a finding on electrocardiograms (EKG). It is suggestive but not diagnostic of an enlarged left atrium, the chamber receiving blood from the lungs. The most common cause of a big left atrium is high blood pressure but it is by far not the only cause. Other causes include mitral valve disease (valve separating left atrium and left ventricle) and left heart failure (cardiomyopathies).
What is tachycaria? And what is protien in the urine
Pulmonary hypertension can lead to right ventricular failure, a condition known as cor pulmonale. This can eventually cause strain on the left side of the heart, potentially leading to left ventricular failure. Regular monitoring and treatment of both pulmonary hypertension and potential resulting heart failure are important in managing this condition.
