Coronary heart disease is highly dangerous

Many of us have experienced the shock of sudden death of our near and dear ones. We become speechless when this news comes. We are puzzled thinking about the possible causes of this death. But ultimately we lost our patience and leave that matter in the hand of fate. Recently coronary heart disease has taken a gigantic shape. Within 2020, the heart disease will be the chief cause of most of the occurrence of death. The lifestyle of people is chiefly responsible for this negative development of our society. A detail analysis will show us many factors are causing this fatal incident.

Now “stress” is a very familiar word to almost all of us. It is going to devour us if we do not devour it instantly. We can devour it only by keeping ourselves away from the causes of the stress. We should lead a routine and healthy life. Our diet should consist of plenty of vegetables, fresh fruits, and we should drink plenty of purified water. Besides regular exercise in the fresh air rich in oxygen has no substitute at all. Thus we must maintain these very strictly. A heart attack specialist can help us highly in this matter.

The cholesterol is essential for our body, but we should try to reduce cholesterol level always. The cholesterol, saturated fats, and other fatty acids together lead to the process of the deposition of plagues inside our arteries. This condition hinders the smooth flow of the blood to and from the heart. Whenever this artery becomes clogged completely, the person becomes a prey to the heart attack. The immediate symptoms of heart attack are dizziness, chest pain, and strain in the left arm, shortness of breath. There are many heart care centres in the world. But the clinic of drliminghaan is unparalleled in this arena.

Heart Failure a Silent Killer

The reported cases of heart failure are gradually increasing day by day. There are many factors contributing to this menace. A hectic life style is the primary factor. The eating habits and unhealthy lifestyle of people are 2 of the primary causes for this menace. The high intake of cholesterol causes the blood vessels to narrow and harden due the deposition of plague. This is a pre-condition which causes high blood pressure on account of disturbed blood flow inside the arteries and veins. The risk factors depend on age, gender, heredity etc.

CHD or coronary heart disease is very rampant today worldwide. The symptoms of coronary heart disease include chest pains, shortness of breath, fatigue, heavy feeling etc. If they are neglected a person can suffer from a heart attack and consequent death.

Patients are prescribed to take some medication to fight diabetes, high pressure, and cholesterol. At first the doctors gauge the severity of CHD, and then assess the kind of medication suitable for the particular patient. Doctors may recommend a series of medications consisting of beta blockers, aspirin, statins, nitrates, diuretics etc.

Heart failure is a chronic disease and needs lifelong management. Doctors prescribe a combination of medications. It may either be medicine or surgery or sometimes both. Some methods of surgery which are in vogue today are coronary bypass surgery, heart valve repair, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators(ICD), cardiac resynchronization, heart pumps, heart transplant etc. In spite of all these treatments heart failure may not improve significantly. In that case we need to take hospice care. It is a special treatment for terminally ill people.

The coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is a modern method adopted widely by doctors. To improve the blood flow to the heart muscles and relieve the pain of the heart this is a very effective technique. It is an open heart surgery. Further, depending on the extent of disease there are other minimal advisable methods, like angioplasty or intracoronary stenting. You may consult Dr. Lim Ing Haan of Singapore.
