What is cardiac insufficiency?
summary
What is heart function not complete, the systolic function of cardiac muscle drops, cardiac discharge reduces, cause the symptom that blood stagnates to produce in systemic circulation. The symptoms of cardiac insufficiency can be divided into two stages: asymptomatic and symptomatic. Asymptomatic has objective evidence of ventricular dysfunction, but no typical symptoms of congestive heart failure, which is the early stage of symptomatic heart failure. If this happens, without timely and effective treatment, it will develop into symptomatic cardiac insufficiency sooner or later. What does cardiac insufficiency mean? Let's talk about it now.
What is cardiac insufficiency?
There are two causes of cardiac insufficiency, one is the weakening of primary myocardial contractility, the more typical are myocarditis, cardiomyopathy and ischemic heart disease. The other is cardiac overload, such as preloading and afterloading. This kind of symptom lasts too long, can cause the secondary myocardial contractility to weaken.
There are many kinds of symptoms of cardiac insufficiency, including acute cardiac insufficiency, chronic cardiac insufficiency, left ventricular insufficiency, right ventricular insufficiency, global cardiac insufficiency, systolic cardiac insufficiency, diastolic cardiac insufficiency, etc.
The specific symptoms of cardiac insufficiency include venous distention, hepatomegaly, oliguria, edema, palpitation, shortness of breath, dyspnea, etc. It can also be manifested as weakness of limbs, dizziness, flustered after activities, congestion of lung, pleural effusion and ascites can not lie flat, dyspnea, shortness of breath, etc.
matters needing attention
Improve lifestyle and reduce the risk of new heart damage. Control hypertension and diabetes. Low salt, low-fat diet. Combined with drug treatment, cardiotonic drugs such as digitalis, poisonous flower K, etc. Proper rest is the way to reduce the load of the heart. Reducing activity can reduce the load of the heart.
