Heart Disease

angina pectoris

The prescribing of prophylactic antibiotics to SPECIFIC HEART PATIENTS prior to medical treatments with teeth cleaning is something that was routinely done up until a few years ago. It was mainly done for people who had to have their teeth cleaned or restorative invasive procedures done. I am not familiar with the prescribing of it for any other medical procedures. I am dental hygienist. It was done for people who had heart murmurs primarily, but was also prescribed for people who had heart surgery as well. The very specific prophylactic antibiotic guidelines for people to receive the prophylactic antibiotic prior to dental procedures can be found at the American Dental Association's website if you are interested. They were changed a few years ago because of concern that people would become resistant to antibiotics. I hope this helps you. I will say, however, and this is important, that ultimately the M.D.'s of our patients has the final word. If a physician feels that the patient should be on the antibiotic despite the ADA's guidelines that is what we abide by. We don't know the patients history as specifically and in depth as their physician. There may be extenuating circumstances and reasons the physician wishes the patient to be on the antibiotic. This is usually not the case though. Their physicians usually fall in line with what the ADA guidelines are.

There is disagreement among researchers on whether atherosclerosis can be reversed. Some say no. Others say with major lifestyle changes you can achieve some reversal. This means things like an exercise regimen and becoming a vegetarian.

• If you truly love this man then heart disease should not be a problem. If you want a successful marriage then communication is the key. Talk to this man and ask how bad his heart condition is and don't be afraid to ask if sex would be a problem for him. Many people have different types of heart disease and are on medications and lead a normal life.
  

Apparently some of the white matter cells around the ventricles have died due to small blood vessel inability to supply them with enough oxygen.

Basically the brain's gray matter are our pools of information. The brain's white matter relays signals. These signals access and connect gray matter information to help us carry out physical and mental acts, from walking etc., to remembering stuff.

blood pressure should be below 120 systolic and 80 diastolic..thats the safe level..

but since ur pulse is high it changes the reading..it depends on what youre doing..

normal adult pulse is 60 to 100...

Usually it means you are having a mi-grain in that certain eye. To get rid of it, try drinking a lot of water, or if at home possibly take a nap.

Thickening and hardening of the artery walls.

The seriousness of cardiomegaly depends on what caused it in the first place. It can be a temporary problem due to stress (pregnancy). Once the problem is resolved, the heart will return to normal. It can be a reflection of some serious heart problem (coronary artery disease). In this case an enlarged heart may hinder the proper pumping of blood and may contribute to the death of the individual. If you are ever diagnosed by a reputable physician with cardiomegaly, please take his treatment regime seriously.

ACE inhibitors block angiotensin, a natural vasoconstrictor, this in turn allows blood vessels to relax and thereby reduce the blood pressure. When blood pressure is reduced in heart failure this helps to lower the workload of the failing heart. In other words, the failing heart does not have to pump against a high pressure (imagine taking a water hose and clamping it, very little water comes through the end and you can feel the pressure building up- this is what happens when blood pressure is high and a failing heart's left ventricle has to pump the blood out to the body).

This is how I explain it to my students. Hope this helps

Type your answer here... rheumatic heart disease is cause by a rheumatic fever that inflamed the heart and scarring it.

A pulmonary embolism is a tissue fragment (part of a blood clot, fat, amniotic fluid, part of a tumour or bullet fragment) that became loose in the blood stream and was carried by the blood stream to a different location. A pulmonary embolism is, in most cases, a thromboembolism (part of a blood clot), which is carried from the deep veins of the legs or the pevis. It travels up the blood stream, through the inferior vena cava, into the heart, and subsequently into the pulmonary artery. In the pulmonary artery, it arrests, forming a potentially life threating occlusion.

Cor pulmonale is hypertrophy of the right ventricle due to chronic pulmonary hypertension. The pulmonay hypertension means that the right ventricle has to pump blood with greater force, causing its muscle to hypertrophy (enlarge in size).

Therefore, to summarize, a pulmonary embolism is an obstruction of pulmonary blood flow while cor pulmonale is the morphological change of the right ventricle due to pulmonary hypertension.

off cause u bloody bashty are u mad u

Ahhh No. Look if you have heart issues these are things you should maybe not consider having done, but will they cause heart failure? No. I have never in the last 16 years heard of anyone keeling over due to a tattoo or a body piercing. I have heard of people dying from stupidity because they got secondary infections due to there negligence and failure to care for there piercings or tattoos and this hasaggravated an underlying medical condition. But straight up dying from one or the other directly causing heart failure, no never happens.

Briefly describe why cardiac tissue cannot repair itself after damage? Cardiac muscle lacks stem cells and mature cardiac muscle fibers cannot go through mitosis. This is a network of specialized cardiac muscle fibers that provide a path for each cycle of cardiac excitation to progress through the heart.

Yes, the buildup of plaque in the blood vessels is called atherosclerosis.

Yes if the patient can has enough functional capacity. In fact, not everone with low ejection fraction has heart failure. There are patients who have low EF, who are still active, even in terms of physical acitivity. However, there are some criteria, with which someone with cardiomyopathy can get disability.
