in case of Cardiac Heart Failure patients, chances of pedal edema are very high,so already there is a higher water volume in the body as compared to normal people.

If large quantity of water is consumed,leads to higher blood volume and exertin pressure on the blood vessels increases Blood Pressure that results in increased functioning of cardiac muscles.(not to get confused as more water intake will lead to frequent and more urination,because its only 50%of water i.e. converted in urine,rest of the water is absorbed in blood)

Also in case of physically active people,water intake is not that problamatic,because there some amount of water gets excreted as sweat so the Water Input=Water Output

and there is no added cardiac load

Can you drown in salt water?

Yes, it is possible to drown in salt water. Inhaling large amounts of water into the lungs, whether it is salt water or fresh water, can lead to drowning due to the inability to get oxygen to the body's tissues. Salt water can also cause dehydration and other issues if ingested in large quantities.


What exercise will strengthen your heart and increase the ability of your muscles to use oxygen?

I'm not to sure about ure heart but if you do an exercise such as running long distance (that will help your lungs ) but if you stretch after an exercise it makes them stronger and keeps blood flowing this may make your heart more used to and better and mOre afficiant at pumpin blood Aerobic Aerobic :3 aerobic


Can salt water replace blood?

Nothing can replace blood. Saline (salt water) is used to thin blood in people who have lost large amounts or are dehydrated. It is necessary to thin blood sometimes to prevent one from going into hypovolemic shock (shock caused from the heart not having enough to pump). This, however, is only a temporary solution until more blood can be put back into the system.

Would death from a pulmonary embolism be painful?

It depends. My pulmonary embolism was extremely painful. Think about it like this: when you breathe you get a very sharp pain, so sharp it startles you, and when you get startled you automatically take another breath. A never ending cycle of pain. Mine was exactly like that. I survived three days with it. Pulmonary embolisms don't kill you when they are in your lungs, the clot would be thrown to either your brain or your heart, and that is where it would kill you. If you only had the clot in your lung for a few hours and then it went to your brain or heart then it wouldn't be too bad. It would hurt a lot in your brain and it could burst a vessel which would cause death, or it would cause a heart attack which would be much more survivable.I'm looking at this answer above me and I find it so misinformed and so wrong, that I need to post this. PEs hurt. Yes, they are painful. Small or massive, they hurt. Not all PEs completely occlude blood flow, some restrict it. Contrary to what the person above wrote, "Pulmonary embolisms don't kill you when they are in your lungs", a PULMONARY embolus IS in the lungs!! This is why it's termed "pulmonary". And make no mistake, yes it can kill. Emboli don't stay in the lungs for "a few hours." PEs originate as DVTs primarily in the upper leg. Cerebral emboli usually originate in the left atrium of the heart . An embolus in the brain doesn't necessarily kill and the vessel it's in doesn't burst either. This is an ischemic stroke and people can survive them. I have no idea where this person got the idea that a cerebral embolus wouldn't be too bad. There really are not emboli in the heart. This is where they sometimes originate, such as with atrial fibrillation and chronic heart failure. The mitral and aortic valves are large enough to accommodate a partial thrombus. Generally, it's a piece of a thrombus that breaks free and migrates, not the entire thing. If a small embolus were to be passed through the aortic valve and lodge in the coronary artery that branches immediately off this artery, this would occlude blood supply to a portion of the heart and result in an acute myocardial infarction. I'm afraid the person above me knows very little about human physiology, DVTs, PEs, and emboli in general.
