the heart
The heart is the center through which blood, which contains oxygen and food, is pumped to all parts of the body and tissues. The blood is transferred to the lungs to be loaded with oxygen. The heart also works to remove toxins from the blood and transfer them to the blood. Kidneys to be taken out of the body in the form of urine, and consists of blood from a group of arteries working on the transfer of blood carrying oxygen and food to the cells of the body through the aorta and transfer of blood containing carbon dioxide to the lungs through the pulmonary artery, in addition to the presence of pulmonary veins Which transfers carbon dioxide blood from various body organs to the heart.
In the event of any defect in the function of the main heart, namely, blood pumping and reception, this leads to poor heart efficiency in the process of pumping and receiving blood, and depends on the severity of the slowdown in the work of the heart on the severity of the deficit of the heart, and heart disease diseases that are widespread in our society Which affects the physical and mental health of the person with heart failure, and many of those infected with this disease eventually die after living for several years suffering from the disease and its complications, and the shortness of breath that accompanies it.
Heart Deficiency
There are many types of heart failure: right ventricular dysfunction, left ventricular dysfunction, chronic heart failure, retarded heart failure, high heart failure, and deficits in the right ventricle, left ventricle, or both.
Causes of heart failure
- Severe anemia and severe anemia.
- The occurrence of disorders and imbalances in the thyroid whether this disorder by increasing the secretion of thyroxine or thyroid hormone secretion secretion of thyroid hormones.
- The occurrence of myocardial infarction such as heart attacks.
- Hypertension is normal.
- Heart valves and heart muscle diseases such as aortic distress.
- Acute lung disease.
- Coronary artery occlusion.
- Cervical heart injury.
- Occurrence of arrhythmias such as fibrillation or atrial fibrillation.
Symptoms and signs of heart failure
- The discharge of fluids from the lungs and the incidence of disease called pulmonary edema, due to congestion and accumulation of blood in the vessels and pulmonary veins.
- The feeling of fatigue and stress in the body, because of the lack of sufficient amount of oxygen and food to the organs of the body and in some cases the person fainting.
- Feeling short of breath especially when doing any physical activity that requires effort or during sleep.
