Hypertrophy of the heart muscle
Is a serious disease and affects the heart muscle, which leads to hypertrophy in the heart muscle and this affects the domino in the body and difficult movements of the vitality carried out by the body and weaken.
Here is the information about myocardial hypertrophy:
Cardiac hypertrophy refers to an unspecified increase in the size of the heart (the first known x-ray approach to the chest). There are two types of inflation: increasing the thickness of the heart muscle and widening the heart cavity. (Although they occur separately, they may occur at the same time).
The increase in the thickness of the heart muscle is usually challenged in the left ventricle, and the increase in the widening of the heart cavity may occur in any of the heart chambers and depends entirely on the cause of this widening and often accompanied by the enlargement of the heart other symptoms except inflation caused by persistent hard work, Is somewhat useful, a natural reaction to increase the body’s need to pump blood more strongly.
What causes heart enlargement?
Cardiac hypertrophy often occurs as a reaction to increase the stress or pressure it faces or to increase the amount of blood inside it (such as a high blood pressure disease) that affects one of the lower chambers of the heart known as the ventricle. The most important cause of heart enlargement is increased arterial pressure in the arteries of the heart (the aorta in the left ventricle and the pulmonary arteries in the right ventricle). As a simplified example, note the increase in the size of the body muscle in case of frequent weight lifting.
This is a summary of the main reasons leading to increased thickness of the left ventricle:
Hypertension
The narrowing of the aortic valve – regardless of its cause, and the problem here is the inability of the heart to push blood to the aorta due to valve constriction and constitutes an increase in intraocular pressure and thus inflation
Hereditary heart hypertrophy or hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, which affects all ages but is more pronounced in young people. It is characterized by a large swell in the thickness of the wall separating the ventricles and can lead to sudden death
Causes of right ventricular hypertrophy
The most important causes are diseases that damage the lungs such as lung fibrosis (due to chronic inflammation or smoking) that destroy blood vessels in the lung and cause a steady increase in pressure in the remaining veins.
Diseases that reduce lung oxygen, even temporarily, such as suffocation during sleep
Narrow pulmonary heart valve,
Repeated blood clots to the lungs (chronic pulmonary clot) and are mostly from lower limb arteries
Pulmonary hypertension is an unknown cause, a relatively rare condition
Is heart enlargement treatment necessary? Is the situation permanent?
That any picture of enlarged heart causes an increase in the risk of sudden death and suffer from the high rate of death compared to their peers who are not infected, so the treatment is strongly favored.
Treatment can slow down the damage to the heart muscle and may be treated as well as helps to alleviate the symptoms if they exist, but this does not mean not to treatment if there are no symptoms, but it is better to start treatment and time to detect the state of inflation even before the onset of symptoms.
In the case of cardiac enlargement unfortunately the damage has already occurred and is permanent damage and treatment will focus on improving heart function only. But in some cases of enlargement of the wall of the heart can be some medicines reflect the impact of the disease and the heart back to normal.
What is the treatment of heart enlargement?
For patients with congestive heart disease, all underlying causes (such as high blood pressure, iron accumulation, thyroid problems, pulmonary embolism, sleep apnea, pulmonary embolism and chronic bronchitis should be treated in all possible ways). Continuous to heart.
The causes of exposure to harmful metals, alcohol or cocaine should be removed
Stop any medications that can damage the heart muscle such as HIV / AIDS drugs or schizophrenia and replace them with other drugs
Patients with heart valve disease should be treated with medication or surgery to replace or repair the valve.
Coronary artery disease causes congestive heart disease in its most severe form. It must be treated with all possible methods of medication to catheterization to coronary artery grafting and treatment of all risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, smoking …
Cardiomyopathy and hypercalcemia can be treated with multiple drugs such as beta-drugs, anti-angiotensin, diuretics, aldosterone and digoxin.
In severe cases, patients need to be admitted to the hospital to administer intravenous doping
Due to the possibility of sudden cardiac arrhythmia, some patients benefit from the development of a subcutaneous cardiac catheter with an extended cord inside the heart. Its function is to give an electric shock to the heart if a defect is found.
There is a risk of forming a blood clot inside the weak and relaxed heart and some medical circles recommend giving a blood-like warfarin. But all the medical community agree on the need to give the patient to a liquidity medication in the event of a previous stroke within the heart or brain or with the presence of atrial fibrillation atrial fibrillation
Cardiac rehabilitation programs in the form of a structured training program can help reduce symptoms and improve exercise tolerance for those with cardiac enlargement.
Some patients with GBS can be treated by surgical procedure by cutting part of the enlarged wall that reduces obstruction and improves heart function. In some cases, the enlarged wall may be damaged by catheterization to reduce obstruction. Is currently widespread.
