Heart conditions that
include diseased vessels, structural problems and blood clots.
Most common types
💗 Coronary artery disease
(Also known as coronary
heart disease and ischemic heart disease) Damage or disease in the heart's
major blood vessels.
💗 Cardiac arrest
Sudden, unexpected loss of
heart function, breathing and consciousness.
💗 Congestive heart failure
A chronic condition in
which the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should.
💗 Arrhythmia
Improper beating of the
heart, whether irregular, too fast or too slow.
💗Peripheral artery disease
A circulatory condition in
which narrowed blood vessels reduce blood flow to the limbs.
💗Stroke
Damage to the brain from
interruption of its blood supply.
💗Congenital heart disease
An abnormality in the
heart that develops before birth.
💗Cardiomyopathy
Diseases of cardiac muscle.
💗Hypertensive heart disease
Diseases of the heart
secondary to high blood pressure or hypertension.
💗Heart failure
A clinical syndrome caused
by the inability of the heart to supply sufficient blood to the tissues to meet
their metabolic requirements.
💗Pulmonary heart disease
A failure at the right
side of the heart with respiratory system involvement.
💗Cardiac dysrhythmias
Abnormalities of heart
rhythm.
💗Inflammatory heart disease
Endocarditis – inflammation of the
inner layer of the heart, the endocardium. The structures most
commonly involved are the heart valves.
Inflammatory cardiomegaly
Myocarditis – inflammation of the myocardium,
the muscular part of the heart.
💗Congenital heart disease
Heart structure malformations existing at
birth.
💗Rheumatic heart disease
Heart muscles and valves damage due to
rheumatic fever caused by Streptococcus pyogenes a group A streptococcal
infection.
Symptoms
A person can have heart disease and not feel sick. Some people with heart disease have symptoms. This is when there are changes or pain in the body to show a disease is there. Some symptoms of heart disease are:
Pain in the chest--the heart muscle is not getting enough flow to keep it going.
Trouble breathing--blood may back up into the lungs.
Palpitations (a feeling that the heart is beating too fast, too hard, or not regularly).
Swelling of feet or legs--blood is backing up from the heart into the lower body.
Feeling weak because the body and brain are not getting enough blood to supply them with oxygen.
Cyanosis (skin turning a blue color) means that too little oxygen is in the bloodstream to supply the cells in the body.
Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder in which the body makes an abnormal form of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Thalassemia caused by either a genetic mutation or a deletion of certain key gene fragments.
If both of parents are carriers of thalassemia, anyone have a greater chance of inheriting a more serious form of the disease.
If only one parents is a carrier for thalassemia, anyone may develop a form of the disease known as thalassemia minor. If this occurs, anyone probably won’t have symptoms, but anyone will be a carrier of the disease. Some people with thalassemia minor do develop minorsymptoms.
There are major types of thalassemia which are
Alpha thalassemia
Alpha thalassemia occurs when the body can’t make alpha globin. In order to make alpha globin, you need to have four genes, two from each parent.
This type of thalassemia also has two serious types: haemoglobin H disease and hydrops fatalism.
Haemoglobin H develops as when a person is missing three alpha globin genes or experiences changes in these genes. This disease can lead to bone issues. The cheeks, forehead, and jaw may all overgrow. Additionally, haemoglobin H disease can cause:
Beta thalassemia occurs when body can’t produce beta globin. Two genes, one from each parent, are inherited to make beta globin. This type of thalassemia comes in two serious subtypes: thalassemia major (Cooley’s anemia) and thalassemia intermedia.
Thalassemia major is the most severe form of beta thalassemia. It develops when beta globin genes are missing. The symptoms of thalassemia major generally appear before a child’s second birthday. The severe anaemia related to this condition can be life-threatening. Other signs and symptoms include:
Jaundice, which is a yellowing of the skin or the whites of the eyes
Enlarged organs
This form of thalassemia is usually so severe that it requires regular blood transfusions.
Thalassemia minor.
People with thalassemia minor don’t usually have any symptoms. If they do, it’s likely to be minor anaemia. The condition is classified as either alpha or beta thalassemia minor. In alpha minor cases, two genes are missing. In beta minor, one gene is missing.
The lack of visible symptoms can make thalassemia minor difficult to detect. It’s important to get tested if one of your parents or a relative has some form of the disease.
Thalassemia disorder results in excessive destruction of red blood cells, which leads to anaemia. Anaemia is a condition in which your body doesn’t have enough normal, healthy red blood cells.
Thalassemia minor is a less serious form of the disorder. There are two main forms of thalassemia that are more serious. In alpha thalassemia, at least one of the alpha globin genes has a mutation or abnormality. In beta thalassemia, the beta globin genes are affected.
Possible surgery to remove the spleen or gallbladder
If anyone is receiving a blood transfusion, he /she may also need chelation therapy. This generally involves receiving an injection of a chemical that binds with iron and other heavy metals. This helps remove extra iron from your body.
World Asthma Day is a event celebrated all over the world by the people
to increase the awareness among public worldwide about the precautions and
prevention about asthma. World Asthma Day is annually organized on
international level by the GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma) in order to
increase the asthma awareness all around the world. It is celebrated on annual
basis at 1stTuesday of the May month. World Asthma Day celebration was
first started celebrating in the year 1998 by the GINA(Global Initiative for Asthma).
Family members and the persons having
asthma are encouraged for the written asthma action plan through their
healthcare provider to fulfill the specific needs of the asthmatic patients such
as accurate medications to get prevented from the airway inflammations and environmental causes of asthma like dust mites and tobacco smoke.
Objective of the world Asthma day
On World Asthma day there are organised
many activity for increase awareness of asthma disease.
1)Maximize
the number of people without asthma and minimize the number of
people with asthma to get proper control.
3)Try to enroll
maximum of the asthma patients to ensure that all patients are diagnosed and
getting treatment.
4)National Asthma Programme was started in 2010 by asthma
society improve the asthma care.
5)Try to
identify asthma patients for accurate treatment of
primary or secondary level based on the standard guidelines.
6)Try to reduce an emergency visits to hospital because of the asthma
and number of days spent by the asthmatic patients in the hospital.
Asthma is a disease which
affects the airways that carry air to and
from the lungs. People suffering from asthma have swollen or inflamed airways.
The inflammation causes the airways to be narrower which causes less air to
pass through them into and from the lungs. This causes acute difficulties in
breathing. The inflammation also causes the airways to be extremely sensitive
to irritations and infections.
Causes of asthma
b)Allergens –Asthma can be
triggered byexposure to allergenslike
pollens, animal fur, dust mites, irritants in the air like smoke and odour.
There is no cure for asthma,
but there are medications, which help in reducing the symptoms of
asthma. Asthma can also be controlled by learning to avoid the sources, which
may trigger it. Your doctor will
give you medication depending on your condition and may also give you
instructions for using them. The main treatments are:
a)Short-acting reliever inhalers –It helps in
controlling symptoms for a short period of time and to soothe the breathing
tubes.
b)Preventative inhalers–Preventive inhalers are used to reduce the inflammation in the
breathing tubes and to stop symptoms of asthma.
d)Steroid injections or oral
medications –These are used in acute cases to relieve the symptoms and ease
the pain and also allow the patient to breathe normally.
e)Spirometry- Spirometry is needed to establish a diagnosis of asthma. It’s a
device for measuring timed expired and inspired
volumes, and hence indicates how quickly
and effectively the lungs can be emptied and filled. It is basically used
to diagnose airflowobstruction inpatients with respiratory symptomsbut is not used to screen for airflow
obstruction in people without respiratory
symptoms.
