Heart Disease

Sudden, sharp chest pain is the main symptom of pneumothorax or a collapsed lung. This can happen on either the right or left side of your chest and is usually the result of injury. It may also result from lung disease, ruptured air blisters, or ventilator use.

A condition called cyanosis sets in when there is no oxygen in the blood, it is characterized by a blue tinge to the skin

A pacemaker is a device placed under your skin that helps correct the slow heart rate. People older than 65 are most likely to have a type of bradycardia that requires a pacemaker is one example

Very rapid contractions or twitching of small muscle fibers in the heart often need to be stopped. A mechanism that does this is called a defibrillator. The act itself is call a defibrillation. Many times the top chambers of the heart go into fibrillation and are not as severe as the ones that occur in the bottom chambers called the ventricles. These must be stopped as quickly as possible.

Yes, your heart can shut down or die due to a heart attack. In a heart attack, heart muscle dies as a result of lack of oxygen. This tissue death can lead to conduction abnormalities that make the heart work ineffectively or stop working altogether.

They are the devices which contain pads that are put onto domaines bare chest to deliver an electric current through the heart to restart it.

Commotio cordis is heart failure due to a sudden impact to the anterior chest wall

you may be predisoped to getting it because of your parents geneitcs, but you can get it when your a new born.

Ischaemic Heart Disease (coronary artery disease or CAD) is a condition in which atheroma (fatty deposits) builds up in the linings of the walls of the coronary arteries. This causes a narrow artery and reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. This process can occur in other arteries of the body. Important arteries which, if affected can have medical consequences, are the carotid arteries in the neck, (which supply blood to the brain), and the femoral /popliteal arteries in the legs. In these situations a bruit (noise) may be heard over the area affected (i.e. carotid or femoral arteries), through a stethoscope.

Atheroma at a certain point, results in obstruction to the blood flow of the coronary arteries, which leads to the inability to provide adequate oxygen to the cardiac muscle, therefore an inability to meet demand. Therefore when the heart has to work harder (i.e. in exercise, or in certain medical conditions, such as hyperthyroidism or anaemia insufficient blood reaches the heart muscle. The muscle is then said to be ischaemic. Ischaemia can also occur from coronary artery spasm, or when the heart is enlarged from increased strain, such as in high blood pressure (hypertension) or tightness at the root of the main blood vessel leading from the heart (aortic stenosis).

In practice, a reduction in coronary artery diameter by 50% or more, on coronary arteriogram is judged significant, and will most likely cause symptoms of angina.

Myocardial Ischaemia is manifested in central chest pain, causing stable angina, unstable angina and myocardial infarction (MI).

yes

Both terms have the same meaning. Communicable disease is the term used in the medical community and would read better if you are writing a paper.

Sadly, no. But I wouldn't recommend not eating it simply because of that. It's still tasty.

yes any age can have heart attacksnot just elderly people

It uses a direct electrical current.

Fat.

no smoking have no effect leading to hypertention.contributes to hardening of arteries and damage blood vessels,therefore increasing the risk of hypertension thus blood circulation could be efficient

The best way to cure Heart disease is to supplement the conventional treatment with yogic practices. The yogic practices which can supplement the conventional treatment are PM 1 series, Makarasana, Bandha Hasta Utthanasana, Ujjayi Pranayama, Nadi Shodhana Pranayama, Bhramari Pranayama and Yoga Nidra.

It can. Heart failure can result from a number of things. Some of those include low vitamin or mineral count in the blood, low blood pressure, hypothermia, dizziness / fainting, weakness / fatigue, and excessive exercise which places strain on an already-weak body.

yes, should provide fluid bolus

Prevention of atherosclerosis is primary. Therapies include nutritional therapy, herbal therapy, homeopathy, Ayruvedic medicine, exercises, mind/body medicine, chelation therapy, allopathic treatment.

Yes it is in some sense, the problem is generally related to the inefficient blood circulation to the heart. There is a treatment available nowadays which solely focuses on blood circulation known as EECP treatment or ECP treatment (External counter pulsation) which is as simple as a massage and would help you in creating multiple natural bypasses in your heart. This treatment involves no invasive surgery or medicine use. It is effective because it results in opening up of newer blood vessels in your heart ( a process known as angiogenesis) and thus creating multiple natural bypasses. It is also beneficial for patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease, high cholesterol, obesity, ischemic stroke and many more diseases.

arteriosclerosis is a general term describing any hardening of arteries. It occurs when calcium is deposited in the walls of arteries. It can happen when atherosclerosis is severe.
