What Are the Different Types of Enlarged Heart Treatment?

Cardiac dilatation refers to the enlargement of the various chambers of the heart and changes in the shape of the heart. Found in various types of cardiac ischemic compensatory enlargement, myocarditis, hypertension, malnutrition, etc. Actively treat basic diseases, vaccination, traditional Chinese medicine, supplemented with nutrient-rich foods, cold hardening exercises, etc.

Causes of enlarged heart and common diseases

Viral myocarditis

The virus has an affinity for the myocardium. Myocardial fibrosis occurs after myocarditis, and myocardial hypertrophy finally forms cardiomyopathy.

Allergy

Some patients with this disease have increased antiviral antibodies. Suppression of T cell dysfunction often occurs, and the disease is believed to be caused by an allergic reaction to the virus after viral infection.

3. Hypertension

About 10% of the patients have elevated blood pressure. But increased blood pressure is not a major factor in the disease. Increased blood pressure occurs mostly in heart failure, which decreases with the control of heart failure.

4. Malnutrition and portal cirrhosis complicated with this disease are more than the general population. The incidence of poor residents is higher, suggesting that this disease is related to nutrition, and the lack of certain essential amino acids or trace elements may be the cause one.

Cardiac enlargement

On X-ray examination, the enlargement of the heart includes enlargement of the heart wall and enlargement of the heart cavity. The two often coexist. Is an important sign of heart disease.

Differential diagnosis of cardiac enlargement

When the heart chambers are enlarged, the shape of the heart also changes, showing three heart shapes on the posterior anterior chest radiograph.

1. large

The heart shadow increases to both sides and is more symmetrical. Common in myocarditis, total heart failure, pericardial effusion, etc.

Aortic type

It manifests as the left apex extending to the lower left, the heart and waist depressed, the aortic node protruding, and the heart shadow in the shape of a boot, which is common in hypertension and aortic valve disease.

3. Mitral valve type

It manifests as swollen right heart margin, round and blunt lower left heart margin, plump or arc-shaped heart waist, small aortic node, and pear-shaped heart shadow, which are common in mitral valve disease, chronic pulmonary heart disease, and heart septal defect , Pulmonary stenosis and so on.

Cardiac Enlargement Principles

1. Cold hard exercise: such as cold face wipes, cold water wipes the body and so on.

2. Vaccine injection: such as bronchitis vaccine, inactivated influenza virus vaccine, attenuated measles vaccine, BCG, nuclear casein injection, human embryo injection, immune ribonucleic acid and transfer factor.

3. Actively treat basic diseases: Avoid polluting the air and intermittently apply antibiotics when cold currents strike or the flu is epidemic.

4. Food is rich in nutrition: including protein, amino acids and various trace elements, various vitamins.

5. Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine: The disease is a deficiency of the real sample. The treatment is to correct the solid and promote blood circulation, improve the body's resistance, and improve the pulmonary circulation.
