Heart failure is a common life-threatening heart disease.
The earlier the disease is diagnosed, the more severe its consequences can be reduced.
The German Heart Foundation stated that heart failure is a disease that occurs as a result of any functional or organic defect that affects the function of the heart as a receptor for blood and a sufficient pump for blood to spread throughout the body to supply it with nutrients and oxygen.
The foundation added that the risk factors are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes and smoking.
For his part, Dr. David Niederser, a cardiologist at the University Hospital Zurich, explained that heart failure, also known as heart failure, has many causes, such as coronary artery disease.
If the heart attack is neglected or not noticed, it may eventually lead to heart failure.
Niederser added that heart failure is of two types:
Systolic heart failure
The heart may lack the strength needed to pump adequate blood into circulation.
Diastolic heart failure
The heart muscle may lack the flexibility to receive enough blood.
Symptoms of heart failure include:
- hard breathing.
Panting
Swollen legs and feet.
Fast or irregular heartbeat
Chest pain. If you experience chest pain that may be a sign of a heart attack, call 911 immediately
Cold extremities.
Paleness.
Ultrasound
An ultrasound scan is the most effective test for determining heart failure.
And if the blood supply is limited, there are a number of medicines that prevent further damage to the heart muscle.
In
the
case of
heart failure Diastolic there are
medications to relieve symptoms well, in
addition, you must treat the
main cause of heart failure ,
diastolic, which is
high blood pressure.
And coexistence
with heart failure and mitigation of trouble should follow a
healthy lifestyle based on:
Healthy nutrition means more fresh vegetables and fruits and less sugars and fats.
Persistent exercise.
Work to lose weight (if there is an increase in it).
Quit Smoking.
Away from psychological tension.
