All About Heart Blockage

Image
DEFINITION Blockage of the heart is a delay in the conduction of electrical current through the rod when atrioventicular, the files on His, or both branches of the files, all located between the atria and ventricles.     Some types of heart congestion caused no symptoms, but others cause fatigue, dizziness and fainting.     Elektrodiografi used to detect clogged heart. Some people need an artificial pacemaker. Clogged heart-classified as first degree when electrical conduction to the ventricles is slightly delayed, level-two when conduction is blocked temporarily, or level-three (full) when conduction is blocked completely. Most types of heart blockage is more common in older people. In the first-degree heart blockage, each electrical impulse from the atria reach the ventricles, but each one slows down for the second fragment as it moves through atrioventricular trunk. First-degree heart blockage is common in well-trained athletes, teenagers, young adults...

All About Heart Attack Part 2

Image
Diagnosis If a man over 35 or a woman over 50 complaining of chest pain, usually considered the possibility of a heart attack. Diagnosis of heart attacks could be strengthened by performing the following checks:     ECG     When a suspected heart attack, the ECG is the initial diagnostic examination of the most important. Some abnormalities can be seen on the EKG, depending on the size and location of heart damage.     Blood tests     Blood tests done to determine the levels of certain enzymes. CK-MB enzyme normally found in heart muscle and released into the blood when heart damage occurs. Elevated levels of this enzyme would appear within 6 hours after a heart attack and persist for 36-48 hours. Enzyme levels are usually checked at the time of patient admission and every 6-8 hours during the next 24 hours.     Echocardiogram     Echocardiogram will describe the reduced movement of a portion of...

All About Heart Attack Part 1

Image
DEFINITION Heart attack (myocardial infarction), (myocardial infarct), (myocardial infarction), is a situation where all of a sudden happen restriction or termination of blood flow to the heart, which causes the heart muscle (myocardium) to die from lack of oxygen. CAUSE A heart attack usually occurs when a blockage in a coronary artery results in limited or cut off blood flow to a part of the heart. If you cut off or reduced blood flow lasts more than a few minutes, the heart tissue will die. Pumping ability of the heart after a heart attack is directly related to the extent and location of tissue damage (infarct). If more than half of the damaged heart tissue, the heart can not function normally and the possibility of death. Even though the damage was not extensive, the heart can not pump properly, resulting in heart failure or shock. Damaged heart can be enlarged, and partly an attempt to compensate for the ability of the heart that pumps it down (because of the larger heart will ...

All About Wolf Parkinson White Syndrome

DEFINITION Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome is an abnormal heart rhythm in which the electrical impulses that dikonduksi along the path from the atria to the ventricles causing the incidence of heart the average speed is high. Wolf-Parkinson-White Syndrome is excessive involvement of the extra pathway (accessory). These extra lines present at birth but appear to regulate impulses to the heart only occasionally. This can occur in infants aged one year or no later than 60 years. SYMPTOMS Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome can cause sudden occurrence of a high heart rate with palpitations. In the first year of life, a baby may have heart failure if time extended. They sometimes seem like a difficult breathing or lethargic, stop eating or chest pulse rapid and visible. The first attack can occur in teens or early twenties. Typical attack begins abruptly often during exercise. It happened just a few seconds or last up to several hours to 12 hours are rare. In patients with a physically fit young or...

This is the line of arterial lipid, and if excessive blood flow resulting pile then becomes narrower. Narrow slowing blood flow and blood circulation to impose additional work for the heart. This condition will eventually lead to heart disease. Pounds of excess distort the natural shape and beauty of the body.

Staying fit is easy. It is only necessary focus and determination to achieve goals. Also, there are various ways on how to control cholesterol n...

Method of Blood Circulation Streamlining Work For Optimal Heart

Image
All you need to know that the heart be optimal it is necessary to smooth blood circulation. Blood circulation is very important for the continuity of the existing processes in the body. About 90 liters of oxygen-rich blood pumped by the heart each day and applied to the entire body through the blood vessels. The task of the heart is pumping blood throughout the body. Oxygen carried by blood flow to supply fuel to members of the body to function optimally. Please note that the job is very important, so keeping the smooth circulation of blood is an obligation. Cardiac work can be optimal in the presence of blood circulating smoothly. By the time you do not indulge or relax and rest, it does not mean the heart stops or take leisure activities. The heart will continue to work, to beat about 70 times per minute and about 5 liters of blood pumped around the body. For this process to be maintained, then the stability of oxygen is needed by the heart. The heart will beat twice as fast when y...

Supplements and Diet to Lower Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a type of fat that is engaged in the bloodstream in particles called lipoproteins. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), low density lipoprotein (LDL) can cause a buildup of fatty plaque in arteries, causing blockages slowly causes the blood flow resistance and the heart has to work extra to pump blood throughout the body. High cholesterol can cause strain on the heart, greatly increases your chances of developing life-threatening conditions such as heart disease and stroke. Fortunately, the knowledge about cholesterol has been growing rapidly so there are various medications and lifestyle adjustments to help reduce the risk of heart disease by managing cholesterol levels. In particular, the doctor can help design an effective strategy for lowering cholesterol levels sesua with your condition, but here are five methods that have proven to be considered as an effective method of lowering cholesterol. jahatSelalu cholesterol monitor cholesterol levels Monit...
