Heart Disease

There are many, depending on the stage of the patient's related conditions. Some are:

Provide positioning with the head of bed the elevated (Fowler's position).

Give adequate oxygen supply.

Monitor vital signs regularly and before medications if indicated.

Identify early signs or worsening signs of CHF, such as reduced oxygen saturations, pedal edema, heart irregularities, heart rate, increased work of breathing, rapid weight changes, etc. and notify the physician if changed from baseline.

Monitor intake and output.

Report changes in lab results.

You would not know if a persons Coronary Artery has burst in the field. That is something that would require a surgeon (or more likely autopsy) to discover. Coronary Arteries very rarely burst, though they do become blocked. The most common place for vessels to burst is in the brain.

If a person suffers a heart attack, perform CPR. Don't worry about the cause, nor should you worry about leaking blood from internal injuries.

Due tohypertension pressure in the blood vessels has increased. And as such it may rupture and lead to cerebral hemorrhage. Which leads to stroke.

The heart does not stop working.

When this happens the blood just doesn't move efficiently through the body.

Without any further information about the nature of the mass, the ICD 9 code to use for a cardiac mass would be 429.89.

No. A death or injury due to recreational drug use is specifically excluded from an accident policy, as such a claim is not a true 'accident.'

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is the most common acquired heart disease in children in many countries of the world, especially in developing countries. The global burden of disease caused by rheumatic fever currently falls disproportionately on children living in the developing world, especially where poverty is widespread.

RHD is a chronic heart condition caused by rheumatic fever that can be prevented and controlled. Rheumatic fever is caused by a preceding group A streptococcal (strep) infection. Treating strep throat with antibiotics can prevent rheumatic fever. Moreover, regular antibiotics (usually monthly injections) can prevent patients with rheumatic fever from contracting further strep infections and causing progression of valve damage.

Emphysema, damages alveoli and air sacs in lungs, making it hard to breathe and deadly. Asthma, cancer, and other diseases from smoking.

Among medications that can cause tinnitus, the most common would be aspirin.

Defibrillation depolarizes all of the heart tissue at once. This usually will terminate abnormal heart rhythms with the hope that a normal one will take over.

Ventricular hypertrophy means a thickening of the ventricle walls. This can then be described as eccentric or concentric.

Eccentric hypertrophy is where the wall thickens but the ventricle itself dilates therefore the wall is thickened but the ventricular chamber remains the same size.

Concentric hypertrophy is where the wall thickens which then makes the internal ventricular chamber smaller.

The muscle mass of the left ventricle enlarges, or hypertrophies

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle in which it becomes inflamed and works poorly. If this is caused by a virus it is called viral cardiomyopathy. There are three major forms of the disease: dilated, hypertrophic and restrictive.

Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most common form. The heart cavity becomes enlarged and stretched, which is known as cardiac dilation. The heart is weak and doesn't pump normally, and most patients will develop congestive heart failure. Abnormal heart rhythms, which are known as arrhythmias, and disturbances in the heart's electrical conduction are also possible. Blood clots form easily in this situation, since blood flows more slowly through an enlarged (dilated) heart. A blood clot that forms in an artery or the heart is called a thrombus. A clot that breaks free, circulates in the bloodstream and blocks a small blood vessel is called an embolus. This can be a cause of stroke and/or cut off blood to organs or the legs and arms.

In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the muscle mass of the left ventricle enlarges, which can alo be called hypertrophy. The symptoms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy may include dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath with exertion, and angina pectoris. Angina is a form of chest pain/discomfort which results from a low supply of blood to the heart muscle. Some people may experience cardiac arrhythmias. These are abnormal heart rhythms that in some cases lead to sudden death. The obstruction to blood flow from the left ventricle increases the ventricle's work, and a heart murmur may be heard.

Restrictive cardiomyopathy is the least common form of the disease in the United States. The heart muscle of the ventricles, known as myocardium, becomes so rigid that it is more difficult for the ventricles to fill with blood in between heartbeats. A person experiencing restrictive cardiomyopathy will often complain about being tired, may have swollen hands and feet, and may find it difficult to breathe when exerting energy. This type of cardiomyopathy is usually due to another disease process.

No matter what form this disease can be very dangerous and it is important to be seeing a cardiologist and following his advice exactly as well as keeping track of how you feel each day and noting anything unusual (jot down symptom, time and what you were doing). This helps you give your doctor a clearer picture of how this disease is affecting you. There are different treatments available and how you are treated depends on the type and cause of the cardiomyopathy as well as your health and lifestyle.

My husband was diagnosed is 1999. He was given a two to five year life expectancy, and is doing as well today, 2012, as he was then!

Chest pain, sudden numbness, and shortness of breath are some of the signs and symptoms of someone with atherosclerosis. You can check out more information about it at your local doctor.

A sore throat has no connection to heart disease.
