Heart Disease

First, regular checks with your doctor,

and second but not least important: living healthy life and eating healthy food

The risk factors are smoking and obesity, high blood pressure & diabetes also lack of physical health are all risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Exercise is important to reduce blood cholesterol levels. High cholesterol can increase plaque and increase the risk of heart attack and stroke and high blood pressure.

Exercise can help reduce weight. Obesity destroys arteries, causes strokes and heart attacks, and destroys the kidneys.

Exercise keeps the heart and lungs in good condition.

Exercise reduces the resting blood pressure and resting heart rate, both important in reducing overall stress on the circulatory system.

So why am I sitting here answering these questions when I should be active right now?

Risk factors for Valvular Heart Disease include: 1. Aging 2. Hypertension 3. High cholesterol levels 4. Smoking 5. Insulin resistance and diabetes 6. Overweight/obesity 7. Lack of physical activity 8. Family history of valve disease

The best way to keep your heart healthy is to stop eating meat. All animal products contain cholestoral and that is what is destroying your heart. Even white meat, such as turkey and chicken, contains cholesterol. A plant-based diet, rich in vegetables, fruits and grains, is the best way to help your heart.

Ischemia almost always is caused by blockage of an artery, usually due to atherosclerotic plaque.

Ventricular Fibrillation

Men who are 45 years of age and older and women who are 55 years of age and older are considered to be at risk. Risk also increases with age.

Arteriosclerosis is plaque or cholesterol, platelets, fibrin and other substances on the arterial walls (artery walls) that can lead to blockage of circulation. KNOWN CAUSES: Smoking, high cholesterol levels (diet), high blood pressure as well as hereditary factors (if other members of your family has suffered from this.) Diabetes can also create this disease. It may cause Angina (pain in the chest) and even a heart attack. SYMPTOMS: Blockage of arteries can occur anywhere in the body although the most common is the legs, either high up to the pelvis, or further down in the calf. If not looked after it can cause pain in these areas because it is not receiving enough blood supply and will cause aching pain in the muscle which is relieved by rest and worsened by activity. If the disease is at it's worst even resting one can still have pain. DIAGNOSIS: There are other signs to this disease including absent pulses and poor skin filling from capillaries which are compressed. An Ultrasound test may further confirm the diagnosis in which a dye is injected into the larger arteries and traced with x-rays is the most reliable test. CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT: Ranges from light exercise (if no major symptoms are evident) and drug therapy to surgery. Bypass grafts made of synthetic material is inserted in place of the blocked segments. If the blockage is in many smaller vessels surgery is considered inappropriate but a single severe blockage is present, a procedure called "balloon Dilation" is sometimes advised. A tube is inserted into the artery under x-ray guidance, and at the area of obstruction a tiny balloon ins inflated to relieve the obstruction. DRUGS: There are many drugs to help the patient and should be discussed with the specialist. BYPASS SURGERY: Experts reviewed this surgery over a 15 year period concluded that in most cases the operation has not been shown to save lives. It turned out to be 15% or greater with a risk of brain damage following coronary bypass surgery. PROGNOSIS: If this disease is left untreated it can be fatal by leading to a stroke or heart attack. Caution is needed if a patient is also diabetic because the disease can progress very rapidly. A good diet, quitting smoking, no alcohol, exercise (according to the instructions from your specialist) looking after your Diabetes "to the letter with no complaints" and working close with your family doctor can certainly lengthen your life. Also, many of the suggested surgeries are highly successful with the exception of Bypass Surgery.

implanted beneath the skin of the chest in the pectoral region, without major surgery. A lead from the device is then inserted into the heart through a vein

2.7 million currently are affected.

a term cardiologists use to indicate that a persons heart can be saved with an intervention before an event like a heart attack. the intervention is usually a stent or bypass, depending on the severity and vessels invloved.

Having family members that have suffered from coronary heart disease will usually lead one to believe that other younger members will develop disease. One can live a healthier life and eat healthy.

The study of the heart in a medical field is called cardiology. Those who study the heart are called cardiologists and should not be confused with cardiac surgeons who performs cardiac surgeries on the heart.

Focal cerebral ischemia (FCI) is often results from a blood clot in the brain. The blood flow in the affected area is reduced. The reduction could be severe or mild but usually FCI causes irreversible injury to sensitive neurons.

Right sided heart failure is also known as congestive heart failure. The right side loses it's pumping function and the blood backs up in other areas causing congestion. Congestion affects the liver, the GI tract and the limbs.

It can be acquired condition or congenital (since birth).

It can be carditis which are inflammation. Could cause Valvular conditions.

It could be myopathies which are muscular changes to the heart.

It can progress to Congestive heart failure.

Septal defects, tetralogy of fallot, transposition of great arteries, patent ductus arteriosus.

Atheroschlerosis leading to emboli and infarction.

Rarely tumors.

Most of the diseases are inter related.

The AED output is in joules (J); an energy output. Energy is an Amp Ohm divided by time. Although AED's may vary on their output, depending on numerous criteria, some AED's will shock at 200J, then 300J, then 360J.

If you mean can other people catch it from you, the answer is no. However, the offspring of someone with heart disease are more likely to get it than someone who has no history of heart disease in their family.
