Cardiovascular diseases are referred to as "modern epidemic" because of the most common diseases of our era. In most countries, are the leading cause of disability and mortality. In countries with well-developed cardiovascular disease die each year more people than because of other diseases combined. Some diseases (eg coronary heart disease or hypertension) are called diseases of civilization.
Medical lists many causes of heart and blood vessels, defines them as risk factors. The most important are: high blood pressure, high blood fat levels, smoking, obesity and diabetes. Men are taken more often than women with heart disease. The other risk factors include lack of exercise, advanced age, genetic. The more risk factors present in a given person, the greater the likelihood of developing heart disease or blood vessels.
The most common cardiovascular disease include:
• Atherosclerosis
• coronary heart disease,
• myocardial infarction,
• heart failure
• heart block
• inflammation of the heart
• high and low blood pressure
• cardiac arrhythmia
• varicose veins of lower limbs
• aneurysms
• congenital heart disease,
• cardiac disease,
• pericarditis,
• pulmonary embolism,
• inflammation of the surface and deep veins
• angina pectoris (angina)
CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE
Heart to perform work needs oxygen and nutrients. The anatomical construction of heart, however, prevents the use of blood flowing through the atria and ventricle. Until this process is the entangling network of blood the heart muscle. These small arterioles are branches of two, left and right, leaving directly from the aorta and the surrounding heart wreath in the shape of the main arteries, called coronary arteries. The disease, also called coronary artery insufficiency is said when it comes to an imbalance between blood supply to the heart muscle, and its needs. Frequently this disorder is the result of reduced cross-section of one of the coronary arteries due to atherosclerosis.
In the first period of the disease is often asymptomatic. But when the narrowing of the lumen exceeds certain limits may appear non-specific aches and pains around the heart. This pain, called angina (angina pectoris) can occur either once every few days and several times during the day. Last from a few to several minutes and pass itself after a short rest or after taking medication. There can also be shortness of breath or weakness. This is due to sudden coronary artery occlusion, which can lead to myocardial necrosis known as myocardial infarction. Always so in the event of such a strong and long lasting BuLi give the recommended measures, coronary vasodilators, analgesics and sedatives, and consult a physician. He decides what to do.
