Heart disease

Stress and Cardiovascular Disease Perhaps the most documented health consequence of unresolved stress is cardiovascular disease (CVD). Research has demonstrated the impact of chronic stress on heart rate, blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke.9 The INTERHEART Study, which followed almost 30,000 participants in 52 countries, identified stress as one of the key modifiable risk factors for heart attack. Historically, the increased risk of CVD from chronic stress has been linked to arterial…

breathing and shortness of breath. Any elongated or increased exertion resulted in increased pain in his chest and heart along with dyspnea, mild light-headedness, nausea, and diaphoresis. There was no past data indicating correlation to cardiovascular diseases or heartburn/chest pain. Although, past doctor visits had encouraged him to perform better on his exercise lifestyle habits to prevent heart problems but did not follow up. Also, he had a past history of depression and anxiety coupled…

stress, excitation is usually prevalent in CNS, which leads to heightened ejection of many stimulating hormones into blood flow. They have harmful influence on the organism and can cause different cardiovascular diseases - from hypertensive crisis to heart attacks and strokes. These diseases always come with neurasthenia, high irritability, anxiety, headaches and sleep disorders - and it's a real scourge of the modern society. Our distant ancestors in case of stress situations,…

The disease that was chosen for me this time was Amyloidosis. The cause of this disease on your body is there is a buildup of amyloid (abnormal protein that is usually produced in your bone marrow and then can go to any organ or tissue) in your organs. This disease is classified as pretty rare and incurable. There are a variety of characteristics that show up depending on what part of your body the disease is affecting. Symptoms show up when the disease has advanced. Some of these include severe…

flows through the kidneys while angiotensin is a hormone that circulates in the bloodstream and constricts the blood vessels. By causing a restriction in the blood vessels, this hormone can increase the blood pressure which ultimately overworks the heart and body (Sahay, & Sahay, 2012). Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal cortex, this hormone helps in regulating the blood pressure. Whenever there is a decrease in blood flow to the kidneys, this system is activated. The typical flow…

1. Definition of Asthma: Asthma is one of the most common type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A COPD is a type of disease or disorder to which the airway is affected and causes breathing to be slowed or forced. Asthma is a type of COPD that causes the airway to become inflamed and to be hypertensive (increased pressures in the blood vessels in the airway) due to any internal or external stimuli. The system that is closely associated with asthma is the respiratory system. The…

cardiovascular system is also called the circulatory system, including the heart, blood vessels, blood. It is responsible for the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the cells, the transport of carbon dioxide and…

Effect of chronic chest diseases on right ventricle I. Effects of chronic chest disease on right heart structure and function In patients with restrictive lung disease, right ventricular hypertrophy was estimated to be present in 50% of them (Figure15) (Shivkumaret al., 1994). Despite these changes in the structure of the right ventricle, myocardial systolic function is generally conserved in pulmonary hypertension associated with chronic lung disease (Vizza et al., 1998).…

Synopsis Detection of heart murmur in children is a common occurrence, and is frequently benign. However, concern over serious pathology is a ubiquitous response by parents and guardians and is often not abated until thorough evaluation by a pediatric cardiologist has been performed. Given the frequent delay in assessment by a pediatric cardiologist, the authors performed an observational/interventional study of parents or guardians of otherwise healthy children (n= 258 parents/guardians=178…

filter, and keep up the balance of fluid that the body requires. The decrease in kidney function may be detected in an elevated serum creatinine or low in urine. Other causes that could cause the injury could be problem from low blood volume from the heart, or…
