cardiac pulmonary :: Article Creator Shortness Of Breath Can Be Caused By Heart Ailments Express News Service KOCHI: Pulmonary edema is a condition mostly seen in people who have a history of heart ailments. It is caused by build-up of excess fluid in the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. "Pulmonary edema is a medical condition due to sudden fluid accumulation in the lung air spaces (alveoli). In most cases, this is caused by heart and kidney diseases. When the heart's functioning reduces, blood is not pumped throughout the body (including kidneys) properly. This leads to backlog fluid accumulation in the lungs causing pulmonary edema. As there is excess fluid in the lungs, they cannot take oxygen, causing severe breathlessness," said Dr Anand Kumar V, senior consultant cardiologist at Lakeshore Hospital. Coronary artery disease and its consequences like heart attacks and post-attack sequelae causing reduced heart pumping,...

heart failure low blood pressure treatment :: Article Creator Treatment Options When Heart Failure Worsens By Michael Balk, MD, as told to John Donovan When we talk about heart failure, the first thing I do with people is ask a number of questions about diet and other potential conditions that may cause the heart failure. The most common probably is high blood pressure. Then there's coronary disease. Diabetes. Some viruses can affect the heart. Obesity probably has a big role. Sleep apnea is super common. We have important data that these comorbidities -- conditions that are present with another condition -- affect the survival rates of people with heart failure. If you treat the obesity, treat the sleep apnea, treat the high blood pressure, you're likely to live longer. So we have to go through all the sort of "normal" things that can cause heart failure. And there are some conditions that we call restrictive cardiomyopath...

pulmonary specialist :: Article Creator Pulmonary Rehab Breaks A Vicious Cycle For Breathing Problems Like COPD PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- For those with breathing problems, exercise may seem out of the question. But they can and should be active, under the guidance of pulmonary rehab, a therapy experts at Temple Health say is vastly underused. Steve Metz of Northeast Philadelphia was unaware his lungs were struggling till he collapsed one day at work in 2017. He thought it was a heart attack, but hospital tests showed something else. "He (the doctor) said I have COPD, he says, and you're approaching Stage 3," Steve recalls vividly. And Steve was getting worse so fast, he'd need a transplant soon. As he waited for that, his doctor recommended pulmonary rehab. "It is just more than exercise training," notes Dr. Omid Pourshahid, the medical director of pulmonary rehab at the Temple Lung Center. Dr. Pourshahid ...

systolic hf :: Article Creator Types Of Heart Failure Left-sided heart failure is the most common type of heart failure. There are two main types of left-sided heart failure: diastolic and systolic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that heart failure affects 6.2 million adults in the United States. It's most common in people 65 years old and over. If you have heart failure, your heart can't pump enough blood to meet the demands of the other tissues and organs in your body. Your outlook and recommended treatment plan depend on the underlying cause of your heart failure as well as the severity of your condition. If you have left-sided heart failure, the left ventricle or lower left chamber of the heart has difficulty pumping oxygenated blood from the lungs to the rest of the body. This causes blood to back up in your pulmonary veins, which carry blood from your lungs to your heart. Left-s...
