Swelling of youranklesor feet; swelling may also occur in yourabdomen, which may cause you to feel bloated. Quick weight gain (a weight gain of two or three pounds in one day is possible.) Symptoms of heart valve disease do not always relate to the seriousness of your condition. You ma...
Heart valves need to allow blood to flow between heart chambers and to the body and lungsin the right direction and at the right speed. This is especially true of the aortic valvethat controls blood leaving the heart into the aorta. Severeaortic stenosisor narrowing of the aortic valve, may...
Heart rhythm disturbances may occur because of problems within the heart itself or be the result of abnormalities in the body's environment that can affect the heart's ability to conduct electricity. Cardiac or heart muscle cells become irritated when they are depleted of oxygen. This can occur ...
When you have this condition, faulty electrical signals make your heart flutter or beat too fast. This abnormal rhythm stops your heart from pumping as well as it should. Your blood flow can slow enough to pool and form clots. AFib raises your chances for a stroke and otherheart problems. ...
Heart valve problems, which can prevent blood from flowing through the heart correctly. Heart attacks, which can occur when a blockage prevents blood and oxygen from reaching part of the heart. Brain and Nervous System Sarcoidosis Sarcoidosis affects the brain and nervous system in up to 15 perce...
"We showed that deep-learning algorithms can recognize blood pumping problems on both sides of theheartfrom ECG waveform data," said Benjamin S. Glicksberg, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Genetics and Genomic Sciences, a member of the Hasso Plattner Institute for Digital Health at Mount Sinai,...
Glomerulonephritis refers to a number of kidney problems that involve inflammation in the glomeruli, which are the kidney’s filtration units.Acute glomerulonephritis can cause nephritic syndrome.Glomerulonephritis can be acute (sudden onset, lasting for a short time) or chronic (long-lasting), and ...
ECG is a painless test that measures the electrical activity of the heart. It can reveal several different heart problems, including ischemia, heart attacks, rhythm disorders, long-standing strain on the heart from high blood pressure, and certain valve problems. It gives clues as to the underly...

If the arteries narrow enough, some heart muscle cells may not receive enough blood supply and fail to pump blood as efficiently. Also, a heart muscle that lacks enough blood supply gets irritated and that can affect the electrical activity of the heart. ...
