    How does myocardial heart failure manifest?



    The circulatory system is a part of the body, without which the existence of man and other forms of life would be impossible. Myocardial heart failure is a disorder of the heart muscle. This affects many systems. This violation also affects the pumping form of the function of the main organ. Deficiency directly affects the ability to pump blood from the venous flow, which has carbon dioxide, to the arterial flow, which has oxygen.

    Characteristics of violations of the pumping function of the cardiac system

    Acute myocardial insufficiency is expressed in different ways. Depending on the form of manifestation of this violation, three classifications are distinguished.

    The first category is characterized by the rate of development of myocardial insufficiency.

    There are three types in total:
    • acute type of heart failure;
    • subacute type of heart failure;
    • chronic type of heart failure.

    The first type is considered the most dangerous violation. It proceeds quickly, the life of the patient in this case directly depends on how quickly the person will be helped. The second is common in medical practice. If we talk about the chronic form, then it is often called very long. It develops over several weeks, months and even years.

    Along with the form, a category is distinguished that characterizes the violation at the site of the lesion.

    Among them are more often manifested:
    • violation of the left ventricle;
    • disorders of the right ventricle;
    • violation of the activity of both parts of the heart.

    Important is the classification, which is directly responsible for the effectiveness of the mechanisms that provide compensation.

    These include:
    • compensated form of cardiac disorder;
    • subcompensated form of heart failure;
    • uncompensated form of heart failure.

    Heart failure is a disorder that affects the functioning of the myocardial muscle, which is responsible for the pumping function of the body. Gas exchange and other important processes that ensure the full functioning of a person directly depend on it.

    The mechanism of the course of myocardial form of heart failure

    The myocardial form is considered an acute disorder in which it is important to act quickly and smoothly. The main focus of the lesion is the contractile heart muscle, myocardium. This is the primary place where the development of the disorder begins. In the future, heart failure will spread to the circulatory system.

    There are three main reasons for the occurrence or formation of this form of disability:
    1. Infectious diseases are a popular cause. After suffering a serious illness, a person develops complications, in particular heart failure. For prevention, it is recommended to organize a full-fledged examination once a year, drink a set of medicines at a rate if there is a tendency to develop heart problems. Do not forget about the mode of the working day and the form of nutrition, diet. Toxins are the cause of heart failure.
    2. Violation of the functions of the circulatory system. More often than not, this is due to several reasons. This group includes hereditary predisposition. If a person in the family has people with abnormalities in the circulatory system, there is a high probability that these species will appear in the offspring. If there are suspicions, then they take tests for biochemistry and get advice from a doctor. Most often, such people are observed by cardiologists from birth. Often the cause of violations is problems with the coronary vessels. As a result of them, ischemia or a severe form of hypoxia of the heart muscle begins.
    3. Avitaminosis. The human body contains all the necessary vitamins, some of them are synthesized. However, there are also irreplaceable compounds that come from outside. In case of their shortage in the body, the likelihood of disease increases. Among the entire list, one can single out the type of insufficiency associated with the performance of the heart. Since beriberi directly affects metabolic processes, and this makes it possible to nourish the heart, the chances of developing diseases increase. Frequent consequences are cardiosclerosis and cardiomyopathy.

    In the event of violations associated with the myocardium, there are several reasons that directly affect the functioning of the body. They are a consequence and lead to this heart problem.

    These include:

    • the ability to provide the body with a normal level of energy supply;
    • the ability of the functioning of the apparatus responsible for the reduction and timely supply of oxygen to the brain, to the lungs. This is ensured by the large and small circles of blood circulation passing through the heart. If one of the so-called channels - arteries or vessels - becomes faulty, then this is reflected in the heart;
    • problems with the nervous system. By this is meant the timely approach of impulses from the tissues. They enter through conducting systems, which are covered with myelin sheaths. Their delivery rate is very high. And even a slight delay can affect the performance of body systems, including blood, organs associated with its distribution and filtration.
    The causes of occurrence must be known in order to understand exactly how heart failure proceeds. However, prevention is limited not only to the definition of the stage. In some cases, clear and prompt assistance is needed. Sometimes a person's life depends on it.

    Symptoms of the manifestation of myocardial form of heart failure

    It all depends on where exactly the focus of the violation is located. This is important to determine, since this characteristic directly affects the way of assistance.

    In case of deviations from the norm, the following signs appear in the right ventricle:
    • the appearance of pain in the area in front of the ribs. This is due to disorders that have arisen as a result of stopping bleeding and stopping the access of blood to the liver;
    • the limbs of a person begin to slowly turn blue, swell.

    Pathology can occur as a result of a malfunction of the left side of the heart, that is, the ventricle. In this case, it is necessary to act promptly, since in a small form of the circulatory circle, both the lungs and the brain are provided with oxygen.

    The main symptoms include:

    • respiratory disorders, inhalation and exhalation processes. Shortness of breath appears. In some situations, such a deviation may occur even at rest.
    • some parts of the body begin to turn blue. This process is called cyanosis. The first signs are reflected in those parts that are farthest from the muscle. A person begins to swell lips, fingertips on the legs and on the hands;
    • the person begins to cough up blood, the cough is heavy and hoarse;
    • breathing is heavy, intermittent. There are wheezing.
    The seizure may come suddenly. But there are also prerequisites - for example, an unnatural state of fatigue and fatigue. If a person is very tired, although he did not do anything special, then this is a sign indicating a violation of the activity of the heart muscle.

    How is the diagnosis made?

    For a complete diagnosis, a consultation with a doctor is necessary. A person undergoes a complex of examinations.

    Among them are the following methods:
    • obtaining information using an electrocardiogram. It shows the heart rhythm and characterizes it, shows the presence of certain disorders;
    • obtaining information using an echocardiogram. Shows the presence of damage in the tissues of the myocardium;
    • obtaining information using radiography. A special picture is taken, which shows all the blood vessels and the area in which the deviation from the norm is supposedly located;
    • laboratory methods. They clearly demonstrate almost all deformations and processes that do not correspond to the normal performance of the system. These include a biochemical blood test, clinical research technologies and information analysis using human secretions. This may be a swab from the pharynx, feces and urine.

    For competent and effective treatment, it is necessary to accurately determine the violation, its location and the nature of the spread. The more accurately the diagnosis is made, the higher the likelihood of treatment and prolongation of life.

    If medicines are used to prevent and prevent the development of the disease, then a complex reception is important. This means the need for course use and combination with other medicinal substances.

    Heart failure often occurs due to the overload condition of the main organ of the body. Therefore, beta blockers are used for prevention. These are drugs that can only be purchased with a prescription. They are highly effective and affect the heart. The pressure in the arteries is normalized, and the number of heart beats per minute is significantly reduced compared to the usual state. Before taking such a medicine, you should consult with your doctor and determine if there are any defects from their use. It is necessary to familiarize yourself with the contraindications.

    Symptoms can be eliminated with long courses of taking a glycoside. Along with it, substances called diuretics are used. They also affect the elimination of side symptoms - in particular, the occurrence of swelling and the removal of excess substances, especially liquid ones.

    Sometimes it is necessary to eliminate the consequences through the intervention of surgeons. They use the shunting method, often insert a defibrillator or change the position of the vessels.

    It is worth considering that you can use these methods only after consulting a professional. Otherwise, self-treatment of the heart leads to the destruction of tissues and their further death. It is necessary to undergo a study and make sure the diagnosis is correct before taking medication.

    Diseases that appear due to myocardial form of heart failure

    The success of treatment depends on when the diagnosis is made. There are several stages of development, according to one of the teachings of etiology.

    These include:
    1. First stage. If the child was susceptible to the disease, you need to start monitoring the state of health at this stage. Here it is easiest to cure the violation or correct its spread. The pathophysiology can be determined by the corresponding symptoms. Enough to observe the patient.
    2. At the next stage, the violation is well defined even without special methods. Most often, coronarogenic and non-coronary deviations are distinguished. Here, heart rhythm disturbances, for example, tachycardia, can also appear. All this affects a person's life.
    3. The final, terminal stage. This is clearly a neglected case, amenable to treatment much worse. It is at this stage that the slow transition to a serious state begins. The consequence of the lack of treatment is the death of the patient.

    Often they talk about cardiac asthma. In this case, heart disorders are reflected not only in the circulatory system, but also in the lungs. Possibly suffocation.

    It is easy to distinguish from other types of asthma if you know the symptoms:
    • breathing becomes bubbling, noisy. It can be heard without listening, especially during the moments of an attack;
    • difficulty in breathing occurs at the time of inhalation;
    • little mucus. If the lung begins to swell, then a pink-colored foam forms in the mouth;
    • rales in the chest are like the bursting of small bubbles.

    It can be treated with diuretics. Often such deviations are observed in children.

    There are many diseases associated with myocardial insufficiency. It is important to start treatment during the first stage. For timely prevention, it is better to undergo regular examinations and monitor your condition. If an attack manifests itself, it is necessary to provide assistance and immediately call a doctor.
