Heart Disease

A heart attack is when an artery gets clogged and stops the blood.

This clog is normally like a bathroom sink that takes awhile before it gets completely clogged. Many many different things can cause the clog and/or help it get clogged quicker.

If an artery is almost clogged, a simple thing like an anxiety attack could rise the blood pressure just enough to complete the clog. So, YES it can, but it's NOT the main cause of the heart attack.

In March of 2007 I had a massive heart attack, I woke with a balloon pumping my heat for two days. As a result of the severe damage to my heart my ejection fraction was 15%. A follow up visit to my Dr I was given a second stint and after my consultation with my Dr I asked squarely how long did I have to live. He said if every thing was equal I could expect to live perhaps 4 more years. However within 6 months I could barely walk and my EF was about 12%. Fortunately I received a transplant and now my EF is around 60%. Please understand the biggest risk for such low EF is the shutting down of other organs especially the kidneys. Please get with your Dr and discuss your options. Low ejection fraction is nothing to ignore.

Atherosclerosis occurs when LDL (Low Density Lipoproteins) get oxidized. Since the plasma in the arteries contains plenty of oxygen to oxidize the LDL's it occurs mostly in arteries. In the veins, there is little oxygen to be found, so it is much more likely to happen in the arteries for that reason.

* Eat Fish-Salmon, herring and sardines are all great sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids may help to reduce inflammation and will help you get your cholesterol down to a healthy level. * Get plenty of Fibre-Soluble fiber, like the fiber found in oats and oatmeal, will help to control your cholesterol. * Add soy- Soy is a great addition to a heart healthy diet. You can add soy milk, tofu, soy-beans, or use soy flour in recipes.

I am a TOTAL layman, but after having done extensive research here on line to answer this question about my 77 year old dad, what I've been able to discover is that there IS NO ANSWER... that the life expectancy for a patient with end stage congestive heart failure is completely unique to that particular individual. Their age, level of strength, degree of heart damage and a mulititude of other factors all play a part in the eventuality. The closest that I could find to narrowing this down is that on the high side of the factors, a person might expect as much as five years. On the lowest possible scale of factors, several weeks to months.

Atherosclerosis can cause hypertension because it narrows the blood vessels (similar to vasoconstriction). Vasoconstriction can cause hypertension because it increases pressure and force in the vessels.

Congestive cardiomyopathy

Haha, are you doing that crossword too? Sorry, I really don't know. The only reason I found this question is because I'm trying to find the same answer.

it will completely depend upon your health. how much can your body recover depends on it.

The age of onset of all clinical manifestations tends to occur during childhood and usually develop before 50 years of age. It is a progressive disorder characterized by periods of subtle worsening and often appears to be in remission.

The life expectancy for anyone with CHF varies. It depends on which stage of the disease a person is in. Many people live 10 years or longer with CHF, if it is treated properly. Of course, a person's general health and age are also factors.

A chronic bacterial infection of the valves of the heart. Characterized by a slow, quiet onset with fever, heart murmur, splenomegaly, and development of clumps of abnormal tissue, called vegetations, around an intracardiac prosthesis or on the cusps of a valve in the heart. The infected vegetations may separate from the valve or prosthesis and form emboli. Roth's spots, Osler's nodes, petechiae, and splinter hemorrhages under the fingerneails are common manifestations of blood-borne metastases of these emboli. The common causes of SBE are the various species of Streptococcus or Staphylococcus. Dental procedures are associated with infection by Streptococcus faecalis, and self-infection ( especially by drug users) with Staphylococcus aureus. Before surgery or a dental procedure prophylactic antibiotics are given. Bacteriologic examination of cultures of the blood may allow specific diagnosis and treatment. Bed rest and hospitalization may be necessary for several weeks. If a prosthesis has become infected , it is usually removed. Administration of an antibiotic that is known to be the causitive organism is often the treatment. The fever is treated with antipyretic medication and bed rest during the acute phase of illness.

Heat is pumping insufficient blood

yes
