How does pulmonary heart disease appear heart failure to do?
summary
Chronic cor pulmonale is a kind of heart disease caused by chronic pathological changes of lung tissue, pulmonary artery or thorax, which leads to abnormal structure and function of lung tissue, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, increased pulmonary artery pressure, right heart dilation and hypertrophy, with or without right heart failure. It can occur in the elderly, but most of them develop from middle age. Let's share my experience with you.
How does pulmonary heart disease appear heart failure to do?
Most elderly patients with cor pulmonale develop from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Its incidence rate is very high, especially among smokers, and it is increasing year by year.
The development of the disease is slow. In addition to the symptoms and signs of the original lung and chest diseases, the main signs are the gradual appearance of lung and heart dysfunction and other organ damage. It is often manifested in the alternation of acute attack and remission, and the lung and heart dysfunction is also further deteriorated. The more the number of acute attacks, the more serious the lung and heart function damage. The following is elaborated according to its function compensation period and decompensation period.
The main clinical manifestations of decompensated pulmonary and cardiac function were respiratory failure and heart failure; There are also a few patients with heart failure or no heart failure.
matters needing attention
Because the vast majority of chronic pulmonary heart disease is the result of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma complicated with emphysema, active prevention and treatment of these diseases is the fundamental measure to avoid the occurrence of chronic pulmonary heart disease.
