The disease can occur due to a bacterial or viral infection. The manifestation of the disease is in the form of pericarditis, myocarditis or endocarditis.
If a disease is detected and the infection is not treated correctly, it can enter the heart through the circulatory system and cause inflammation. The heart, while experiencing increased stress, wears out faster.
The infection affects the heart valves and the aortic arch, causing a valve defect. The valve walls become weak and eventually collapse. Thus, blood flows freely into the left ventricle, overfilling it. Weighed down with excess volume, the ventricle cannot cope with its functions.
This disease causes narrowing of the arteries. This means that organs are less well supplied with blood, including the heart muscle. Arterial hypertension occurs, which additionally loads the heart. It simultaneously experiences increased stress and is weakened, which leads to irreversible changes.
• Ingestion of tobacco and toxins,
• Aging of the body with age,
• Long course of infectious diseases,
• Constant stress,
• Excess blood cholesterol.
They are difficult to diagnose as they often have no symptoms. However, there are several such diseases in which the symptoms, on the contrary, are expressed quite clearly:
Narrowing of the lumen in the aorta, which increases pressure in the upper half of the body and lowers it in the lower half. This leads to a stroke.
An open oval window is when there are gaps in the partitions between the heart. Blood is poorly supplied with oxygen and, spreading throughout the body, causes cyanosis of the limbs, shortness of breath and an increase in the level of red blood cells.
Pulmonary artery hypoplasia interferes with the supply of oxygen to the blood.
Their main causes are various toxins, poisons, as well as depressive conditions. Abuse of alcohol, tobacco, tea and coffee can also be affected. There are frequent cases of the influence of digestive disorders.
• Shortness of breath at rest and on low intensity exertion.
• Weakness, poor endurance.
• Heart palpitations.
• Persistent dry cough.
• Irregular and frequent inhalation and exhalation.
• Feeling of suffocation with chest pain.
• Unpleasant sensations in the area of the heart or liver.
• Evening edema of the lower extremities.
• Poor sleep.
• Back and chest pain with shortness of breath.
Any self-medication in this case can be dangerous. Therefore, for an accurate diagnosis of the disease and treatment, it is necessary to consult a doctor as soon as possible. Avoid overwork and stress throughout your treatment.
The cardiologist will check your breathing rate, temperature, heart rate, pulse, and blood pressure. If something is wrong, a cardiogram will be needed. A blood test will answer the question of whether the heart is damaged. Exercise testing is another way to check how your heart is working. For a more accurate diagnosis, angiography and x-rays of the vessels are also done. Only he can detect blood clots.
The therapy can last for many years or even a lifetime. In rare, difficult cases, cardiac pacing or surgery may be necessary.
Many people with heart disease become depressed, then a cardiologist can refer them to a psychologist.
Those who have experienced severe heart disease and treatment are offered rehabilitation.
• Compliance with diet and daily routine,
• Rejection of bad habits,
• Complete cure of infectious diseases, to prevent their development,
• If possible, prevent infection itself,
• Exercise regularly,
• Avoid stressful situations.
