The heart is one of the most important organs in the body. When its action is stopped, everything is over. The heart is the capital of the body. So you have to know how the heart works, you have to understand the symptoms of heart disease and you have to follow the method of keeping the heart healthy.
The way the heart works
The heart is located from the middle of the chest to much of the left chest. It has four rooms inside. The upper part on the left is a house with small thin walls. This is called the left atrium. Just below it, on the left side, the strongest and fleshy chamber of the heart is called the left ventricle. In the left atrium, oxygenated blood enters the lungs through four veins. There is a valve with two rigid straps to go from the left porch to the left ventricle. When these two scales are opened, this blood enters the left ventricle from the left atrium.
The mouth of the aorta has come up from the left ventricle to get pure blood out of the left ventricle. There is a three-pronged valve at the junction of this aorta and the left ventricle. When these scales are opened (such a beautiful arrangement of Allah Ta'ala) at the same time the other two scales are closed and the left ventricle is compressed very strongly at this time, so that pure blood spreads all over the body through the aorta and its innumerable branches. Through this pure blood all the tissues of the body will receive oxygen, other nutrients, electrolytes etc.
Symptoms of heart disease
Chest pain in heart disease usually occurs in the middle of the chest. Sometimes it can also cover a large area on the left side of the chest. This pain can range from mild to severe. Usually an intense stress is a feature of this pain. Many people's pain may be confined to the middle of the chest or to the heart in the chest. Although this pain can spread throughout the chest, left shoulder, left arm, left hand, left ring finger.
Sometimes this pain can also come in the right shoulder. Again this pain goes up to the jaw through the throat. Some people also feel this pain in the upper abdomen. Enzyma usually causes the patient to feel this pain after work and the pain goes away when he rests. But once there is a myocardial infarction, the pain and stress continue. Then with chest pain he often wants to stop breathing, his body starts sweating, his hands and feet become cold and sometimes his chest throbs.
Some patients become unconscious. If the pain does not subside in 2 minutes with glycerin tri-nitrate (sucking under the tongue or spraying under the tongue) during the pain, shortness of breath, severe weakness or chest tightness, then the condition is considered to be in a fairly severe stage. So it is recommended to go to the hospital.
Myocardial infarction can occur in addition to chest pain in the elderly, those with uncontrolled diabetes, or those who are heavily alcoholics. Such patients may come to the doctor due to severe weakness, fainting or heart failure, swelling of limbs and discomfort.
How to detect heart disease
If heart disease is suspected, the doctor first performs an ECG. Suspicious indications can be found even if the ECG does not confirm a very definite decision of heart disease and heart disease from birth. But coronary heart disease or coronary artery disease with reduced or blocked blood flow often contains a lot of important information in the ECG.
Echocardiogram and Doppler Echo are two relatively high-value supportive tests. Doppler Echo is a much needed test for diagnosing heart disease. Coronary heart disease echo shows the extent of muscle weakness in any part of the heart if the blood flow is stopped. Moreover, the contraction capacity of the left ventricle can be understood from the echo.
ETT can be tested if the ECG is normal, despite considerable suspicion of coronary heart disease. During the ETT test, the patient is given a continuous ECG with specific exercises. Suspicion of coronary heart disease is high if there is a certain change in the ECG due to exercise.
Coronary angiogram is the final examination of the coronary artery or any of its branches. This is an expert-conducted test. In this test, iodine-containing drugs are inserted into the coronary arteries at the base of the aorta by inserting a narrow tube into the artery of the waist or elbow, into the eye with the help of an X-ray screening machine. As a result, two coronary arteries and their branches are clearly visible on the skin. Video tapes and X-ray copies are stored. The patient does not have to be anesthetized for this. But the patient is given a little medicine so that he does not get nervous. If he wishes, he can see the picture of the patient's coronary at that time.
A new test called cardiac or coronary MRI has come out. It can get a lot of information about the coronary veins and heart without inserting the tube.
A test called a Holter monitor test is performed on the heart, sometimes with a slow heart rate, sometimes with a very fast heartbeat, sometimes with heart rhythm or rhythm imbalances. The patient performs his normal activities by attaching a small instrument to his chest for 24 hours. About 1 lakh heartbeats were saved in 24 hours of this test. After computer analysis, reports were made about all these different diseases of the heart.
Treatment of heart disease
If you have symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, cold hands and feet due to sweat, etc., you should go to the hospital immediately. MI usually causes blood to clot in any part of the coronary arteries. Nowadays, if the patient can reach the heart unit within 1 hour of the onset of pain, special drugs are used to dilute the clotted blood. This is why the first hour of MI is called Golden Hour.
In addition, the patient is relieved with various medicines and oxygen for pain, restlessness, lack of oxygen etc.
At the same time, if the patient has hypertension or diabetes, it has to be controlled with treatment. The patient has to be gradually rehabilitated through light work after a short rest.
Lifestyle has to be changed for the future. Smoking constricts coronary arteries and raises blood pressure. This is why smoking is the patient's worst enemy.
Cholesterol and lipids are to be controlled. Usually rice and sugary foods are eaten less. To control cholesterol and triglycerides, full cream milk, cream, ghee, butter, fat, egg yolk, brain, liver, soft bones, cow's milk, sugar, alcohol, etc. should be strictly controlled. Medicines are also available to control blood fats and diabetes.
Usually fruits, vegetables, fish, pulses will be helpful in lipid control. In case of diabetes and hypertension, good results are obtained by controlling lipids and smoking and treating it with strong hands.
Exercise or walking prescribed by a doctor after recovery from an attack can be extremely beneficial for the coronary patient. Only a physician will consider the patient and determine what type of exercise he or she will be able to take.
