The cause of heart failure.
Coronary heart disease. Hypertension Rheumatic heart valve disease or disability. Heart disease is congenital. Membrane disease, certain types of heart disease, thyroid disease, renal toxicity, anemia, hooker Heart beats fast, arrhythmia's. Bacterial or viral infections, tuberculosis, received chemotherapy. Or received radiation. Some types of arthritis. Poisoning of some kind. Some sleep disorders. These additional conditions. The symptoms of heart failure even more. Patients with acute coronary heart disease. High blood pressure. Some infections such as respiratory tract infections. Condition in which the heart beats too fast or too slow. Ascribes to get more water than is needed. Lack of medication on a regular basis. Eating too much salt, some drugs such as painkillers. The steroid treatment group.
Symptoms of heart failure.
Symptoms of fatigue. It may be in the room. Angina at exertion or lying down can not breathe at night. May need help breathing, coughing up to shake a leg or abdominal swelling. It causes the liver and spleen over time may be a weakness, fatigue, thinning down.
Diagnosis.
History of risk factors that cause disease. That's probably why it causes disease. And physical examination by a doctor.
The special
1. The X-ray lung I do not see the shadow. And that the volume of fluid. Or congestion in the lungs or not.
2. Check to see if my chart. An indicator of heart. Or suspected coronary artery disease or not. And that it indicates a heart. A fast or slow heartbeat, or arrhythmia's.
3. The reflected sound waves with a heart. (Echocardiography) of the muscle. I have been squeezing. Or to release or not. Heart disease disability. The pericardium was normal or not.
4. Blood for levels of certain minerals in the blood. Renal function, thyroid hormones or certain types of blood levels of BNP or NT pro BNP (Brain Natriuretic Peptides), which showed that the increase in heart failure. Can be used for diagnosis. And monitoring the treatment of heart failure patients (to mention this mainly refers to the treatment of heart failure on muscle Chronic heart, squeezing the poor).
Treatment
1. General treatment.
1.1. Control treatment. Risk factors that cause heart failure.
1.2. Education. To patient care after returning from the hospital.
•. Control of drinking water should not exceed 1.5 liters per day.
•. Salt diet limited to not more than 2 grams of salt per day (about half a teaspoon).
•. Weighing every day. At least once a week or two to see if there is excess water in the body condition or not. If more than 2 kg in weight over 3 days may consider using a diuretic. Or doctor.
•. Weight control. If you should lose weight, weight down. If too thin, it may mean. Malnutrition, or congestive heart failure, acute and chronic.
•. Exercise An exercise program. Appropriate as to avoid exercises such as lifting weights or playing the spell.
•. Be careful not to colds and infections.
•. No drinking and smoking.
•. Dietary fat.
•. To have sex if one layer of stairs without tiring. I could have sex normally.

2. Treatment by drugs: new drugs and other drugs. The drugs used in emergency and acute. Does not bring them here.
3. Treatment using special tools.
3.1. The implantation of a cardiac shock (Implantable Cardioverter Defribrillators, ICD) is implanted into the patient. For the treatment of cardiac arrhythmia's. Which is often found in severe heart failure. The device will diagnose the heart. And shocked automatically. Can reduce mortality by acute.
3.2. Heart pacemaker implanted CRT (Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy) is embedded into the body. Patients with severe heart failure. That the conductivity anomaly. The compression of the heart are interrelated. Lead to a better heart. As a result, makes the heart work better compression. Can make the patient better. Hospital less Reduce waste and death. This device may serve as a supplement. Electric shock to the heart by 3.1 with a CRT-Defribrillator.
4. Treated by surgery: treatment by surgery is surgery to change the heart (Cardiac Tranplantation) in the absence of treatment of the above.
