What is a Heart Attack?

Heart disease is a more common type of circulatory system disease. The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels, and neurohumoral tissues that regulate blood circulation. Circulatory system diseases are also known as cardiovascular diseases, including diseases of all the above-mentioned tissues and organs. They are common diseases in medical diseases, of which heart disease is the most common. Can significantly affect the workforce of patients.

Basic Information

English name

heart disease

Visiting department

cardiology

Common causes

Arteriosclerosis, hypertension, viral infections, respiratory diseases, etc.

Common symptoms

Palpitations, angina, dyspnea, hemoptysis cough, chest pain or chest discomfort, etc.

Cause of heart disease

Congenital heart disease

The heart develops abnormally during the fetal period, and the lesions can affect the heart's tissues.

2. Acquired Heart Disease

After birth, the heart is affected by external or internal factors. Such as: coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, hypertension heart disease, pulmonary heart disease, infectious heart disease, endocrine heart disease, hematological heart disease, nutritional metabolic heart disease, etc. .

Clinical manifestations of heart disease

Symptoms

Common symptoms are: palpitations, dyspnea, cyanosis, cough, hemoptysis, chest pain, edema, and oliguria.

2. Signs

Common signs are: enlargement of the heart, abnormal heart sounds, arrhythmia, and abnormal pulse.

Heart examination

Invasive inspection

Mainly include cardiac catheterization and selective cardiovascular angiography combined with this test item, selective indicator (including temperature) dilution curve to measure cardiac output, intracardiac electrocardiogram examination, Heath beam electrocardiogram examination, endocardium And epicardial ECG mapping, endocardial myocardial biopsy, cardiac ultrasound imaging, and cardiovascular endoscopy.

These tests bring some trauma to the patient, but more direct diagnostic data can be obtained, which has greater diagnostic value.

2. Non-invasive inspection

Including various types of electrocardiogram examination, echocardiography, echo Doppler blood flow examination, real-time myocardial acoustic imaging, digital subtraction cardiovascular angiography and so on.

These tests are non-invasive to patients, so they are easier to accept, but the information obtained is more indirect. With the continuous updating and improvement of instrument performance and inspection technology, their diagnostic value is rapidly increasing.

Heart disease treatment

Cause treatment

For patients with a clear etiology, active treatment of the etiology can receive good results.

2. Treatment of anatomical lesions

Interventional or surgical treatment can correct pathological anatomy. At present, most congenital heart diseases can be cured by surgical or interventional treatment.

3. Pathophysiology

For cardiovascular disease that cannot be cured or is difficult to cure at present, the pathological changes are mainly corrected.

4. Rehabilitation

According to the patient's heart disease, age, physical strength, etc., a combination of dynamic and static methods is used to carry out appropriate physical activities as early as possible during the recovery period, which has a good effect on improving heart function and promoting physical health. In rehabilitation treatment, we must pay attention to psychological rehabilitation, relieve ideological concerns, and strengthen confidence in fighting against diseases. After returning to work or study, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and regularize life.
