summary

My grandmother's heart is not very good. Since my grandfather left, she had a heart attack all the time. During this period, she was still out of breath. If the situation was serious, she was sent to the hospital. The doctor said it was left heart failure and needed to be treated as soon as possible. Now let's learn what congestion is left heart failure.

What is left heart failure

First, left heart failure is mainly manifested as a clinical syndrome caused by pulmonary circulation congestion and decreased cardiac output. When left heart failure occurs, the contractile force of the heart muscle is weakened, the pumping volume of the left ventricle is reduced, the indoor pressure is increased, and the blood flowing back from the pulmonary capillaries to the left atrium is blocked, resulting in pulmonary congestion.

Second, left heart failure is a clinical syndrome caused by pulmonary congestion and decreased cardiac output. Right heart failure is mainly manifested as systemic congestion syndrome. The overall treatment is cardiotonic drugs + enteric coated aspirin + diuretic drugs. We should also combine the specific condition to do the basic disease.

Third, the left heart is damaged by overload. The most common cause of right heart failure is pulmonary congestion and pulmonary hypertension caused by left heart failure. Right heart failure is rare.

matters needing attention

No matter right heart failure, left heart failure, total heart failure, or chronic heart failure, once it occurs, we must seize the time and send it to the hospital for treatment. Otherwise, it will endanger life and do great harm to people's life and health.
