The heart rate is high as the body pumps more blood trying to cool itself down.
yes
Rheumatic heart disease only affects the left side of the heart because the valves that are damaged by Rheumatic fever are on the left side of the heart. A physician would be the best person to answer this question.
Rheumatic fever does not affect throat. It does affect heart and joint. This happens probably because the antibodies formed against the beta haemolytic streptococci also attack the heart valves and the joints. Probably they have similarity with the antigen of bacteria.
Having a fever can increase a person's metabolic rate, leading to an elevated heart rate and increased oxygen demand. This can cause the respiratory rate to rise as the body attempts to meet the heightened oxygen needs. Additionally, fever can be associated with underlying infections or illnesses that may cause inflammation in the respiratory system, potentially leading to difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. In some cases, fever can also result in dehydration, which may further impact respiratory function.
yes if you breathing is irregular you might have a heart problem
Probably you are just sick. But with the trouble breathing, you should definitely get into your doctor as soon as possible.
Fitness affects the pulse and breathing rate because the more your muscles are used the more they are used to the physical activity you are asking of them to do. Exercising puts a lot of pressure on your muscles and heart, if you are unfit it can make your heart work over time, increasing your heart and breathing rate.
It increases both. The rate of cell metabolism is accelerated during fever, which increases the demand for oxygen by tissue cells. This means the heart must contract more frequently to keep up with the demand, and breathing is accelerated to increase the rate of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange.
Rheumatic fever can affect the heart due to an autoimmune response triggered by a streptococcal throat infection. The body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, particularly the heart valves and muscle, leading to inflammation known as rheumatic heart disease. This damage can cause long-term complications, including valvular heart disease and heart failure, due to scarring and dysfunction of the heart structures. Early treatment of strep throat is crucial to prevent rheumatic fever and its cardiac complications.
Some drugs affect heart rate or breathing and this cause deaths.
Yes, dengue fever can affect the heart in some cases. While the primary symptoms are fever, pain, and rash, complications such as myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the lining around the heart) can occur, particularly in severe cases. These cardiac complications can lead to arrhythmias and other cardiovascular issues, highlighting the importance of monitoring heart health in dengue patients. Prompt medical attention is crucial if cardiac symptoms arise during or after a dengue infection.
The same as a person's. To protect the lungs and heart and to support breathing.
