We often hear about heart disease in its various forms and to help us in being heart healthy we have a lot of information on cholesterol and high blood pressure. However, tachycardia, or a rapid heart beat, is a condition that effects hundreds of people and can range from mild to severe and dangerous. Here is a brief overview of what you need to know about tachycardia and how to treat it. Read More »
The nursing method of rheumatic heart disease:
1. Rest. It include both physical and energetic aspects. When the patient’s symptom is not obvious, he may do some properly light work but do not participate in the heavy physical labor to increase the burden of the heart. If the patient have insufficient hear function or occurr rheumatism, he need have bedrest absolutely. All the daily life should be assisted by his family member. The manner to the patient should be kindly and avoid the bad stimulation.
Because the embryo heart was disturbed during the growth process, it cause some parts to stop growth or have flaws, as well as parts that should degenerate are unable to degenerate completely. Read More »
Rheumatic heart, also known as rheumatic heart disease, heart disease causes mitral stenosis accounts for more than 90%. Valvular thickening swelling of the vegetation on the surface of small blood clots, in the thickening, deformation, rough valves, also can produce mural thrombus, the thrombus breaking off the tank with the blood flow into the brain of cerebral embolism occurs.

Myocardial infarction is the result of sustained and serious part of the myocardial ischemia caused by acute myocardial necrosis. Often because of coronary atherosclerotic plaque rupture and bleeding, thrombosis caused by acute coronary artery caused by complete occlusion. The main clinical manifestations of the sudden and sustained severe angina pectoris. Nitroglycerin treatment is to ease and can be associated with decreased blood pressure, sweating, and even a sense of dying.

Heart valve disease caused by the wind of the most common symptoms are breathlessness, chest tightness, chest pain, palpitations, hemoptysis, and fatigue and so on. However, these symptoms can also be caused by other factors, and disease, so detailed as to all the characteristics of symptoms to diagnosis to provide more precise information.
1, difficulty in breathing: breathing difficulty is that there is insufficient air for patients with subjective feelings or respiratory effort, objectively, manifested as respiratory rate, depth, and rhythm changes. According to pathogenesis, difficulty in breathing can be divided into cardiogenic dyspnea, pulmonary dyspnea, central respiratory problems, mental neurological diseases dyspnea, toxic dyspnea and blood immunogenicity of six basic types of breathing difficulty. Rheumatic heart disease of the breathing difficulty is due to valvular heart disease led to long-term or rapid pulmonary congestion, alveolar elasticity decreased, ventilation dysfunction, reduced cardiac output, blood flow slowed down, ventilation dysfunction, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide retention leading to pulmonary circulation the pressure increased, causing respiratory reflex excitability increased with the rules.
2, chest pain: Chest pain is a common symptom may be caused by a variety of reasons, sometimes originated in the local minor damage so irrelevant, and sometimes because of internal organs caused by disease, is often of great significance. According to the origin of chest pain can be divided into chest wall disease, chest disease, and other organs, causes chest pain, chest pain caused by heart disease, known as cardiogenic chest pain. Rheumatic heart valve disease caused by angina, chest or pericardial chest pain caused by damage to belong to this column.
Third, syncope is a sudden, brief loss of consciousness, due to insufficient blood supply to the brain caused by a time of widespread. The main reason: to reduce cardiac output (aortic valve disease) or cardiac arrest (conduction block), a sudden severe drop in blood pressure (a large number of aortic valve regurgitation), or the universality of temporary occlusion of cerebral blood vessels (thrombosis off) . Cardiogenic syncope in severe cases, known as acute cardiogenic cerebral ischemia syndrome. 4, palpitations (palpitation) is the conscious heart beat accompanied by precordial discomfort, a common cause of cardiac arrhythmia, increased heart beat and so on.

Miss Tang 37-year-old home in the rural areas of Guangdong. 25 years ago, when she was a 12-year-old girl had won a pharyngitis, and later often Jiao Zhong. As the age increases, we discovered that she was more “Jiao”: persons obviously ruddy, slightly dry a little farm work was too tired to direct breath. Marry and have children, her physical strength become increasingly poor, can not go to work, only to stay at home sweep of Health. Although many family criticism, but when she gave birth to a large Pan Xiaozi’s sake, nor care about how. Until one day, Miss Tang did not even get up strength, limp body lying in bed, family This realized the seriousness of the problem. To the hospital for examination, the doctor told them: Miss Tang was suffering from severe rheumatic heart disease, faces often have purple blush, the weak is precisely the typical symptoms of the disease. However, she not understand that the doctor said is the root cause of her 25 years ago that pharyngitis. Doctors said that the initial rheumatic heart disease showed pharyngitis, tonsillitis and other symptoms. If not treated properly or recurring inflammation, even if the subject condition under control, poor exercise tolerance will be left behind, running a few steps necessary to asthma side effects. Lethal disease of the female larger number of female patients with male patients is about 2 to 3 times. Easy to twelve or thirteen-year-old woman infected with the bacteria and the emergence of initial symptoms, to 18-year-old, due to heart attack bacteria have already been the patients lower limb swelling, numb hands and feet, convulsions and other symptoms, if the laissez-faire development of rheumatic heart disease continue, until 30 years of age, especially after giving birth, the condition will rapidly deteriorate, can only be resolved on the heart surgery. Why do many female patients over 10 years of illness, to the more than 30-year-old condition is very serious and we have to come for medical treatment? Rheumatic heart disease with a confusing point is that patients often “ruddy,” may seem pretty healthy. In fact, because the patient’s heart damaged, mitral stenosis, blood from the left atrium left ventricle have been hampered by back, in the lungs resulted in congestion, will lead to facial zygomatic area showed pairs of purple-red.
The Lipid Research Clinics Coronary Primary Prevention Trial (LRC-CPPT), a multicenter, randomized, double-blind study, tested the efficacy of cholesterol lowering in reducing risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in 3,806 asymptomatic middle-aged men with primary hypercholesterolemia (type II hyperlipoproteinemia). The treatment group received the bile acid sequestrant cholestyramine resin and the control group received a placebo for an average of 7.4 years. Both groups followed a moderate cholesterol-lowering diet. The cholestyramine group experienced average plasma total and low- density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reductions of 13.4% and 20.3%, respectively, which were 8.5% and 12.6% greater reductions than those obtained in the placebo group. The cholestyramine group experienced a 19% reduction in risk (p less than . 05) of the primary end point–definite CHD death and/or definite nonfatal myocardial infarction–reflecting a 24% reduction in definite CHD death and a 19% reduction in nonfatal myocardial infarction. The cumulative seven-year incidence of the primary end point was 7% in the cholestyramine group v 8.6% in the placebo group. In addition, the incidence rates for new positive exercise tests, angina, and coronary bypass surgery were reduced by 25%, 20%, and 21%, respectively, in the cholestyramine group. The risk of death from all causes was only slightly and not significantly reduced in the cholestyramine group. The magnitude of this decrease (7%) was less than for CHD end points because of a greater number of violent and accidental deaths in the cholestyramine group. The LRC-CPPT findings show that reducing total cholesterol by lowering LDL-C levels can diminish the incidence of CHD morbidity and mortality in men at high risk for CHD because of raised LDL-C levels. This clinical trial provides strong evidence for a causal role for these lipids in the pathogenesis of CHD.
If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, what would it take to avoid a heart surgeon? How about a multivitamin + mineral pill + some omega-3 oil (canola-rapeseed, flax, fish)? Add a diet low in processed food and a good ‘lifestyle’ (don’t smoke, control waist size, manage stress well, some exercise) and you will improve general health and help prevent heart disease. I know, it is normal to believe you’re eating a good diet but there is mathematical certainty even the best diet does not get you to most vitamins levels our bodies, and genome, developed on. Supplementation is safe, cheap, easy, essential and fixes those problems. This site looks at the food, supplement and prevention side of disease. I study nutrition in medicine as an independent researcher but it is not my job. This site doesn’t generate money or sell anything. Below are highlights about the nutrients that prevent damage to your artery and bone structure and sometimes even cure it, and about those that can help you survive already existing artery damage.
In food processing, as when making flour or noodles, we lose 60-90% of most heart healthy vitamins. We degrade proteins by frying and high heat and our factories hydrogenate oil which first zaps all omega-3 (really vitamin F-3) by trans-forming it into toxic trans fat. Science shows that a heart healthy diet is one with relatively unprocessed foods with veggies and some fruits, and rice or grains that retain some of their original kernel-structure to slow digestion. Such ‘whole’ foods became scarce in Western diets. If you can’t recognize part of the original food, the item is processed or refined. Some eggs, liver or fish are probably also vital for most of us.
Why a add multi-vitamin pill to your diet? Well, most fast single nutrient diseases like scurvy, beriberi and goiter were wiped out by food fortification, our ‘weapon of mass nutrition’. However, processed foods low in many nutrients such as vitamins B6, B12, folic acid and others, cause ‘Long-Latency Deficiency Diseases‘, such as heart disease, cancer, bone loss and Alzheimer’s. Think of these as nutrient deficiency diseases with long incubation periods and the science suddenly makes sense! Start with cholesterol and the science will never makes sense (can your doctor explain the 6th figure from the bottom?).
