HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR HEART DISEASES
The heart is a
muscular organ about the size of a fist, located just behind and slightly left
of the breastbone. The heart pumps blood through the network of arteries and
veins called the cardiovascular system.
The heart has four
chambers:-The right atrium receives blood from the veins and pumps it to the
right ventricle.The right ventricle receives blood from the right atrium and
pumps it to the lungs, where it is loaded with oxygen.The left atrium receives
oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle.The left
ventricle (the strongest chamber) pumps oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the
body. The left ventricle’s vigorous contractions create our blood pressure.
The coronary arteries
run along the surface of the heart and provide oxygen-rich blood to the heart
muscle. A web of nerve tissue also runs through the heart, conducting the
complex signals that govern contraction and relaxation. Surrounding the heart
is a sac called the pericardium.
HEART CONDITIONS
- Coronary artery disease-: Over the years, cholesterol
plaques can narrow the arteries supplying blood to the heart. The narrowed
arteries are at higher risk for complete blockage from a sudden
blood clot (this blockage is called a heart attack)
- Stable angina pectoris- : Narrowed coronary
arteries cause predictable chest pain or discomfort with exertion. The
blockages prevent the heart from receiving the extra oxygen needed for
strenuous activity. Symptoms typically get better with rest.
- Unstable angina pectoris-Chest pain or discomfort
that is new, worsening, or occurs at rest. This is an emergency situation
as it can precede a heart attack, serious abnormal heart rhythm, or
cardiac arrest.
- Myocardial infarction -A coronary artery is
suddenly blocked. Starved of oxygen, part of the heart muscle dies.
- Arrythmia (dysrhythmia): An abnormal heart rhythm
due to changes in the conduction of electrical impulses through the heart.
Some arrhythmias are benign, but others are life-threatening.
- :Congestive cardiac failure- The
heart is either too weak or too stiff to effectively pump blood through
the body. Shortness of breath and leg swelling are common symptoms.
- Cardiomyopathy- A disease of heart muscle
in which the heart is abnormally enlarged, thickened, and/or stiffened. As
a result, the heart's ability to pump blood is weakened.
- Myocarditis:
Inflammation of the heart muscle, most often due to a viral infection.
