pulmonary edema heart failure treatment :: Article Creator What Is Pulmonary Edema? Pulmonary edema is a serious condition that occurs when the lungs fill with fluid. This prevents the body from gaining the oxygen it needs. It is typically caused by another condition, such as heart failure or altitude sickness. Pulmonary edema is a condition in which the lungs fill with fluid. It's also known as lung congestion, lung water, and pulmonary congestion. When pulmonary edema occurs, the body struggles to get enough oxygen, and you may experience shortness of breath or wheezing. Pulmonary edema can range in severity. Some people may need critical care. Often, treatment involves treating pulmonary edema along with the related underlying condition. Timely treatment can improve possible outcomes. Several possible health conditions and external factors can cause pulmonary edema. Congestive heart failure ...

A: A pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon operates on pulmonary atresia. Q: How is Fallot's tetralogy similar to pulmonary atresia with VSD? A: In tetralogy of Fallot, the pulmonary valve (PV) forms, although the opening is narrow and blood has trouble flowing through it (pulmonary valve stenosis). Thus, pulmonary atresia with a VSD is similar to a very severe form of Fallot's tetralogy. Q: What is the prognosis in ...

tricuspid pulmonary mitral and aortic valves :: Article Creator What Do The Heart's Tricuspid And Bicuspid Valves Do? Heart valves allow blood to flow one way and prevent it from flowing in the wrong direction. The tricuspid valve controls blood flow between the right atrium and right ventricle. The bicuspid or mitral valve does the same on the left. The heart consists of four chambers. The left and right atrium are the upper chambers, and the left and right ventricles are the bottom chambers. Heart valves open to allow blood to flow between the chambers and in and out of the heart. They close to prevent blood from flowing the wrong way. Each valve has cusps, or flaps of tissue, which open and close to let blood flow through the heart. This article explores the differences between the tricuspid and bicuspid valves and the problems that can affect them. The four heart valves open to allow blood to flow in...

pulmonary edema and high blood pressure :: Article Creator Can High Blood Pressure Make You Breathless? Shortness of breath, medically known as dyspnoea, is a worrying symptom arising from many underlying health problems. While hypertension is often linked to lung or heart problems, the relationship between high blood pressure and dyspnoea requires careful consideration. We spoke to our expert Dr Lakshmi Navya, Consultant- Cardiology, Manipal Hospital, Vijayawada, who explained this connection and how it unfolds in the body. Does High Blood Pressure Cause Shortness of Breath? Hypertension is not a direct cause of breathlessness. However, it dramatically raises the chances of having conditions that cause dyspnoea. Chronic, poorly controlled hypertension can lead to Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH), which is a thickening of the left ventricle of the heart. "This thickening makes it more difficult for the heart to relax and fill with bl...
