Heart disease

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a defect related to the cardiovascular system. CHD alters the way blood flows into the heart. The irregularity of the heart in people with CHD is developed from birth though symptoms of the condition may not be present until adulthood. During the time of birth the closure of the ductus arteriosus (DA) should occur about 15 hours after birth though functional closure may be delayed for up to 3 months of life. Thus, an open DA is the functional indicator of…

The heart is an essential part of a human’s body. It is a muscular organ located at the center of the circulatory system that pumps blood throughout the body. The system comprises of veins, arteries, and capillaries, and these blood vessels carry blood to and from all areas of one’s body to sustain life. It beats around 100,000 times and pumps around 2,000 gallons per day. The heart is vital to one’s health and everything that goes on in his or her body. The heart is also prone to many different…

the cardiovascular Disease is and how many types of it? Cardiovascular disease or Heart Disease is a condition that includes blocked or narrowed in blood vessels. As a result, many cases like this lead to stroke, chest pain, or heart attack. Second, there are many types of cardiovascular disease that have different Widespread and characteristics. For example, Ischemic Heart Disease is the most widespread type in Canada, and it affects the circulation of blood to the heart, or Heart Failure…

What is congenital heart defect? There are so many types of heart defect that generally exists and are noticed. Some of them either obstruct blood flow in heart oil vessels or some of them results in the slow blood to flow through the heart in abnormal way. There are other defects that you may notice such as long QT syndrome due to which the heart rhythm or heart beats gets uneven. If any of the effects are related to common birth defects, then chances are high that it causes to death only. All…

Since heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S, every possible treatment should be done to prevent or to treat the problem. However, preventing heart disease should be prioritize rather than waiting until the last minute. I believe we can prevent most cardiovascular diseases by avoiding the risk factors that we can change in our life. I am going to develop a lifestyle intervention for an individual who has a hypertension and high cholesterol level. Lifestyle change from the…

INTRODUCTION Ischaemic heart disease is the most cause of death in all over the world. When Andreas Gruentzig performed PTCA in human, we have also opened the interventional era which significantly decrease the death cause by Cardial Vascular Disease, especially in Acute Myocardial Infartion. Over 30 years, the ratio of patient admitted to the hospital for myocardial Infarction dramatically decrease from 46,086 to 18,691 per year in 2008 . With the same trend, the proportion ST – segment…

Introduction. Ischemic heart disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide 1. Intermediate coronary artery lesions are responsible for about 80% of acute coronary syndromes2. Accurate assessment of the severity of intermediate coronary stenosis represents an everyday challenge for interventional cardiologists. Fractional flow reserve (FFR), which is simply derived by the ratio between distal (Pd) and proximal (Pa) pressures under conditions of maximal hyperemia, represents…

In today’s world, one of the leading causes of death in most of the developed countries is heart disease. Unfortunately, the number of cases is rising steadily because of both present- day lifestyles and increased overall longevity. While it’s developing, it can have a disastrous impact on the life of the inflicted. Modern medicine, though, has established many effective treatments for heart disease. They range from drugs and lifestyle changes to surgery. Of course, overall prevention is better…

Coronary heart disease and angina • Angina is pain or discomfort that comes when your heart does not get enough oxygen. Angina is usually a symptom of a heart problem known as coronary heart disease (CHD), also called coronary artery disease (CAD)1 • • Your heart is a muscle. It pumps oxygen-rich blood to your whole body. Your heart also needs oxygen to work. Blood vessels called coronary arteries carry blood with oxygen to your heart. • • In healthy coronary arteries, blood flows freely to…

Introduction Congenital heart disease, also known as Congenital heart defects (CHD), incorporates an assortment of abnormalities of the structure and function of the heart and/or the heart's major blood vessels, which transpire before birth and are existent at birth. CHD occurs when the heart or blood vessels do not develop normally before birth. In some serious cases, CHD can cause a child to need immediate surgery in order to survive, but in other mild cases, CHD will not be apparent until…
