The heart is the organ that pumps blood throughout the body. When the heart has to exert more force to pump the standard amount of blood that our body needs every day, it is called weakening of the heart. Dr. Daniela Projevska, cardiologist, explains that there is a condition called weakening of the left side of the heart, which is more common and is characterized by a reduction in the strength of the left ventricle. There is also a rare but present isolated condition of right sided heart failure. Weakening of the heart can be of a mild, moderate and severe degree. Conditions that cause heart failure The most common cause is high blood pressure, which is not treated properly or is stabilized irregularly. Disease of the blood vessels of the heart or coronary artery can also cause heart failure.
Other conditions are: Diseases of the heart valves, treated inadequately or their treatment was not done in time. Inflammatory heart diseases, which usually St. Pierre and Miquelon Email List involve unknown and poorly treated viral infections, rarely bacterial diseases that attack the heart muscle. Chemotherapy or drug therapy that can be cardiotoxic. Untreated comorbidities, such as long-term treatment of thyroid disease, incorrect treatment of diabetes, as well as other diseases that over time can cause heart failure. Excessive use of alcohol or narcotics sometimes cause heart failure. Untimely treatment of thromboses or pulmonary embolisms, as a common cause of weakening of the right side of the heart. Congenital defects which are unknown in the part of the heart, which in adult patients can cause weakening of the right side of the heart.
How is heart failure distinguished? The first symptoms felt by patients with heart failure are fatigue and a feeling of weakness during normal daily activities. Also, in these patients, the lack of air and the feeling of suffocation appear during the first hours of the night when they lie on their side, and then during greater physical efforts or during light activities. They experience rapid heartbeat, blurred vision and dizziness, loss of appetite, pain under the right rib and swelling in the leg below the knee. The ultimate sign of heart failure is kidney and liver dysfunction. How is heart failure diagnosed? Listening to the heart ( auscultatio ) where the rhythm and speed of the heartbeat is heard, and the presence of irregular heartbeats.
