Elevated blood pressure increases your risk for many heart conditions, including coronary artery disease (CAD), atrial fibrillation (often simply called Afib), andheart failure. It’s also the leading cause of stroke. Coronary Artery Disease(CAD) The most common type ofheart disease, CAD is diag...
Heart failure (HF) is a prevalent and potentially life-threatening condition when not addressed. This article strives to delineate the various forms of heart failure, elucidating the stages, types of HF, and methods of diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, it underscores the significance of an int...
About five million Americans have heart failure, a condition in which the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. An estimated 5.6 million U.S. adults have theabnormal heart rhythmknown as atrial fibrillation, also called Afib. Patients with both conditions are at especially h...
AFib surgery is also a treatment possibility. beta-blockers w/thiazide diuretics-oral Carospir (spironolactone) Carospir (spironolactone) is an oral suspension used to treat heart failure and it is also used as an add-on therapy for the treatment of hypertension, to lower blood pressure. Side...
Heart Failure (Clinical) Heart failure (HF) refers to a complex condition resulting from the structural and/or functional inability of the heart to supply a normal cardiac output to meet metabolic needs. In HF, impaired ventricular filling or ejection of blood leads to fatigue , dyspnea , and...
Heart failureand heart transplantation Pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) or specialized cardiac ICU (CICU) Adult congenitalheart disease(adults who were born with heart problems) Cardiac catheterization Advanced imaging techniques (ultrasound,CT scan, andMRIscan) ...
heart failure and other serious health conditions. Treating atrial fibrillation with antiarrhythmic drugs has been challenging due to limited effectiveness and potential adverse effects. Thus, catheter ablationtherapyhas become a generally adopted alternative technique to treat atrial fibrillation. Modestly size...
"I was diagnosed with heart failure and was prescribed metoprolol more than 16 years ago! I also was briefly on Coreg (carvedilol), a more effective heart medication, in my opinion, but I couldn't take the side effects, including the racing heart and the nervousness. Let's face it, most...
Some arrhythmias make your risk forstroke,heart failure, andcardiac arresthigher. Having an ablation also lowers these risks and reduces or stops symptoms like: Trouble breathing Heart palpitations Fatigue Dizziness Chest pain Ablation treats different types of arrhythmias: ...
Perturbations in both the activation and termination of their G protein-mediated signaling underlie numerous heart pathologies, including heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AFib). Therefore, RGS proteins play important roles in the pathophysiology of these two devasting cardiac diseases, and ...
