Heart Disease

my plays in a band and is a lead guitar player, my concern is can he continue with this and do amps create any problems

non-communicable diseases

Mild cardiomegaly means that the heart is slightly enlarged. This can be because of a number of reasons including an infection, congestive heart failure, or a recent heart attack.

because when a baby's or babies' mother drinks alcohol and/or takes drugs it has some kind of damage to the baby's/babies'heart. unless a mother knows that she's pregnant and starts to worrie about her baby's/babies' health she should contact a doctor at once.

salam.................An estimated 17 million people die of CVDs, particularly heart attacks and strokes, every year. A substantial number of these deaths can be attributed to tobacco smoking, which increases the risk of dying from coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease 2-3 fold. Physical inactivity and unhealthy diet are other main risk factors which increase individual risks to cardiovascular diseases

Cor Pulmonale is increased strain on the right side of the heart due to lung diseases that increase the pressure of the blood flowing through the lungs. The right ventricle tries to push blood through the diseased and usually scarred lung via vessels called pulmonary arteries, but has trouble doing this because of the scarring, resulting in increased pressure in the artery and therefore the right ventricle. The right ventricle compensates by getting bigger, and ultimately stops working so well.

A fast heart-rate is actually one of the known symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.

The chemistry of the blood allows the release of chemicals signalling the heart to pump faster when the concentration of oxygen in the blood drops. Carbon monoxide ties up hemoglobin - which causes the oxygen concentration in the blood to drop - and thus the blood chemistry signals the heart to beat faster to compensate. If the air the person is breathing is loaded with carbon monoxide, this only makes matters worse since it speeds up the saturation of the hemoglobin with carbon monoxide instead of oxygen.

Stress does not always cause a heart problem. If a person already suffers from high blood pressure, and the stress causes an adrenaline reaction that increases heart rate and blood pressure even further, that could cause a problem.

In many cases, ischemia can be successfully treated, but the underlying disease process of atherosclerosis is usually not "cured." The outcome for silent ischemia has not been well established.

Atherosclerosis predisposes a person to many different types of disease such as coronary artery disease, peripeheral arterial disease, mesenteric ischemia, and ischemic stroke to name some of the heavy hitters. These are all dangerous diseases that can be lethal.

Cardiac Biomarker

Smoking contributes to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, which harm the intima and the media layers of arteries and predisposing to thrombi, aneurism formation and sclerosis (hardening of the vessel wall).

To answer your question, these plaques do regress with time, but diet and quitting smoking are necessary.

usuallly, if it is heart disease, the heart is affected, which can cause upsets with the blood flow. not having a sufficient blood flow can cause multiple affects of the body. because the blood flow moves all around the body, it carries nutrients and oxygen which is a main one. If the oxygen cant get to the cells of your body. you can die.

Nausea and/or abdominal swelling in CHF may be the result from the buildup of fluid in the body and the backup of blood in the liver. There is a strong connection to nausea and the liver, even in healthy individuals.

There is known digestive dysfunction with CHF. The pancreas is part of the digestive system. The pancreas is responsible for the amount of insulin secretion.

It is also known and common for heart failure to cause hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia occurs when the pancreas secretes too much insulin and too much glucose is taken out of the bloodstream resulting in what is known as a "blood sugar drop". This drop can cause nausea. If the blood sugar is the issue in an individual with CHF, they can try eating some fruit or drinking some orange juice to reduce the nausea feeling.

There are many risk factors for heart disease. A family history of the disease should mean that the offspring be a bit more careful with their own cardiac health. Chances will increase with unhealthy living.

MI - Myocardial Infraction

CHF - Cardiac heart failure

ASD - Atrial septal Defect

VSD - Ventral septal defect

Contagious diseases are caused by Viruses, Bacteria and Germs. Heart disease is caused by a degenerative condition caused by age or environmental conditions in the body.

high blood preasure can cause atheromas and thrombosis, an athroma is like a baloon pushing out of the artery wall wich can pop and kill you, a thrombosis is a clot that forms on the artery wall that can loosen and flow into the heart or the conary artery leading to a heart attack

Normally parts which are bruised turn black. You probably jammed your thumb somewhere. It is the blood inthe bruised tissue that makes it look black.

In addition to the above answer, it also increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. It can also have a detrimental effect on the joints.

No. The medical term for heart attack is myocardial infarction, or the death of heart myocardium (basically the heart muscle). Coronary Heart Disease (CAD) is a disease where plaques of cholesterol are deposited in the heart's coronary arteries (which feed the heart blood during diastole). Ruptures of these plaques can cause clots in may however result or cause myocardial infarctions, due to a sudden yet complete blockage of a coronary artery.

A defibrillator brings the cells of the heart back into a unified and timed contraction by introducing a electrical charge ( measured in joules which are equivalent to a one-amp-second of amplitude).

I don't know but brain damage occurs after 3 minutes.

Heart failure means that your heart can no longer pump blood adequately through the heart and out to the rest of the body. The blood literally "backs up" into the pulmonary system (lungs) and your lungs become too fluid filled to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. This process deprives your body's tissues/organs from the oxygen it needs and they begin to fail. This can be a very slow process if it is a chronic condition, or it can occur very quickly depending on how quickly the heart function is failing, and why (example: heart failure due to chronic high blood pressure or heart attack which results in heart tissue death)

That's not something you can directly calculate - otherwise people would never have heart attacks at all because we could predict who would be having one and when. The more "bad" cholesterol you have floating around, the greater chance you'll have a heart attack or stroke, but there is no direct formula for this.
