Pulmonary Hypertension

two types of heart failure :: Article Creator Types Of Heart Failure Heart disease refers to any condition affecting the cardiovascular system. Each type of heart disease affects the heart and blood vessels in different ways. Coronary artery disease As a result, the blood supply reduces, and the heart receives less oxygen and fewer nutrients. In time, the heart muscle weakens, increasing the risk of heart failure and arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). Plaque in the arteries can rupture from blockages and cause blood flow to stop, which can lead to a heart attack. Congenital heart defects Atypical heart valves: Valves may not open properly or may leak blood. Septal defects: There is a hole in the wall between either the lower chambers or the upper chambers of the heart. Atresia: One of the heart valves is missing. Congenital heart disease can involve major structural issues, such as the absence of a ve...

tylenol high blood pressure :: Article Creator Tylenol Linked To High Blood Pressure In Women Women taking daily amounts of non-aspirin painkillers — such as an extra-strength Tylenol — are more likely to develop high blood pressure than those who don't, a new study suggests. While many popular over-the-counter painkillers have been linked before to high blood pressure, acetaminophen, sold as Tylenol, has generally been considered relatively free of such risk. It is the only one that is not a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug or NSAID, a class of medications the federal government just required to carry stricter warning labels because of the risk for heart-related problems. Those include ibuprofen (sold as Advil and Motrin) and naproxen (sold as Aleve). Many had turned to those painkillers in the wake of problems with prescription drugs, such as Vioxx. However, the new study found that women taking Tylenol were about twice as likely...

pulmonary embolism nursing diagnosis :: Article Creator Pulmonary Embolism: Diagnosis, Risk Factors And Preventive Management A pulmonary embolism can be life-threatening and nurses have a huge role to play in improving patient outcomes. This article discusses diagnosis, risk factors and preventive management Abstract Pulmonary embolism is a relatively common condition in the UK. It is of clinical importance as it can be life threatening. If not identified and treated quickly, it can lead to right-sided heart dysfunction and cardiac arrest. Prolonged periods of reduced mobility increase the likelihood that a blood clot will form, along with hypercoagulability and vessel injury. For a suspected pulmonary embolism, an assessment for suitability for ambulatory care or an immediate hospital admission should be arranged, with appropriate documentation for rationale.

severe tr and pah treatment :: Article Creator The Diagnosis And Treatment Of Tricuspid Regurgitation Background: It is estimated that 6% of persons over age 75 have clinically relevant tricuspid regurgitation (TR). This condition carries a high mortality and is of particular interest because of the recent development of new interventional treatments. Methods: This review is based on publications that were retrieved by a selective search in the PubMed database for randomized controlled trials (RCTs), observational studies, registry studies, expert recommendations, and current international guidelines. Results: The evidence reveals that TR is an independent cause of mortality. Mortality is correlated with the severity of TR: approximately 35% of patients with severe TR and right heart failure die within 1 year, and about 60% within 3 years. The clinical course varies depending on the etiology (primary TR, atrial/ventricular secondary TR, associ...
