What TO DO AND WHAT not to do

Look up Congestive Heart Failure or Heart Failure. Left sided heart failure is the most common. It will usually result in shortness of breath. Right sided heart failure usually causes swelling primarily in the legs. There is no cure. But it can be managed with medication.

Rhabdomyolosis- This happened to my husband. He was in the ICU for 7 days and had to be off of work for a long time. It scared me to death. He would drink sodas instead of water. If you are in pain and take ibuprofen or any other pain killer it will build up in your blood causing all kinds of problems.. especially since you are already dehydrated. He is fine now, but it's taken awhile.

It is to "restart" the heart's electrical conductivity and electrical rhythym. It, in general, sends out an electrical impulse to the heart to kickstart it.

Cholesterol- an organic chemical substance classified as a waxy steroid of fat. It is an essential structural component of mammalian cell membranes and is required to establish proper membrane permeability and fluidity. In addition to its importance within cells, cholesterol is an important component in the hormonal systems of the body for the manufacture of bile acids, steroid hormones, and vitamin D. Cholesterol is the principal sterol synthesized by animals; in vertebrates it is formed predominantly in the liver. Small quantities are synthesized in other cellular organisms (eukaryotes) such as plants and fungi. It is almost completely absent among prokaryotes, i.e. bacteria.

Although cholesterol is important and necessary for human health, high levels of cholesterol in the blood have been linked to damage to arteries and cardiovascular disease.[2]

Heart Disease-

Heart disease is a broad term used to describe a range of diseases that affect your heart. The various diseases that fall under the umbrella of heart disease include diseases of your blood vessels, such as coronary artery disease; heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias); heart infections; and heart defects you're born with (congenital heart defects).

The term "heart disease" is often used interchangeably with "cardiovascular disease." Cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke. Other heart conditions, such as infections and conditions that affect your heart's muscle, valves or beating rhythm, also are considered forms of heart disease.

Many forms of heart disease can be prevented or treated with healthy lifestyle choices.

The normal range is 0.0 - 1.0 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).

There are no cures for atherosclerosis. There are only treatments for it currently and preventative measures you can take to help minimize your risk from the complications that come from atherosclerosis (i.e heart attack and stroke to name a few). Treatments include expensive medicines, or surgery like an angioplasty which may require the need for stents to physically open the artery wider, or even bipass operations.

It can be. The heart is a pump. If the heart attack is severe enough to affect the pumping cabability of the heart then your blood pressure would drop. This is not a good sign to see in someone with a heart attack.

Enough to help pay for the cost to better the education on health literacy for kids, so they can avoid obesity which leads to the number one killer, heart disease.

Yes, vomiting, is related to a heart attack. It is a common symptom of a heart attack.

It is partly genetically determined but lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, weight, and smoking play a role as well.

The lifestyle component is your diet. Atherosclerosis progresses faster in those people who eat diets rich in animal fats, fried foods and simple carbohydrates (e.g. sweets). Also, smoking, obesity and a sedentary lifestyle contribute, as well. Atherosclerosis is sometimes called a "lifestyle disease" because some of the risk factors are within the patient's control.

Well in 2007 there was 616,067 deaths from heart disease

I got cardiomyopathy at the age of 35... I was a drug addict and drank since the age of 14. I have kept my weight down and tried to be real careful about my salt intake..I also walk alot...when I was first diagnosed I had 10% use of my heart and was in congestive heart failure.I am two weeks shy of my 45th birthday and I am currently waiting for results of my last echocardiogram. My doctor said that I might be able to stop taking my medicine if all is well. He also asked me if I knew how lucky I was..I said I did. There is hope....

Treatment will possibly prevent the heart from further deterioration but is unlikely to reverse the reduced function that has already occurred.

Treatment for alcoholic cardiomyopathy involves lifestyle changes, including complete abstinence from alcohol use, a low sodium diet, and fluid restriction, as well as medications. Medications may include ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, and diuretics which are commonly used with other forms of cardiomyopathy to reduce the strain on the heart. Persons with congestive heart failure may be considered for surgical insertion of an ICD or a pacemaker which can improve heart function. In cases where the heart failure is irreversible and worsening, heart transplant may be considered.

Carotid endarterectomy surgery involves removing arterial plaque from inside blood vessels.

Congenital heart disease

Hypertention creates a tough environment that may cause a mechanical trauma to the intima layer of the blood vessel wall; upon such effect may leave a tear of intima and therefore predispose to atheroma.

14-month old boy was diagnosed with four congenital heart defects. He was admitted into the children's hospital where doctors knew immediately that the boy would need surgery. Surgeons realized that creating a 3D model of the boy's heart would help study the defects and save the boy's life. Doctor called an engineering department which created a 3D model made from a polymer. The model helped doctors study the defects and come up with solutions before the critical surgery and boy's heart was repaired by the surery in what is the first use of 3-D printing for treating a pediatric heart patient.

Congestive heart failure - right-sided occurs in 1 in 20 people. It is a condition in which the right side of the heart loses its ability to pump blood efficiently.

Bacterial endocarditis is infection of the inner lining of the heart caused by bacteria. People with serious valve disease are at greater risk for bacterial endocarditis.
