Heart failure
General
Heart failure is a pathology, the essence of which is the weakening of our motor. There is a weakening of the heart muscle, a slowdown in the rhythm of the beat and a failure in its regularity. As a result of the above, the heart simply cannot cope with its tasks, such as supporting blood circulation in the body and supplying it with oxygen.
It often occurs as a result of such pathologies as Ischemia , Heart Disease , Hypertension . That is, it is not an independent disease, but is the result of a complication of another pathology. There are also cases of severe insufficiency after suffering an acute myocardial infarction .
Kinds
Heart failure can develop as from an extremely short time, the report of which goes literally for minutes, as a rule, this is observed in the case of a previous heart attack. And up to a relatively long period of time, which is already counted in years, such a course of development is observed, for example, with hypertension.
Based on the above, this disease is divided into such types as:
- Acute - observed in the first case, with the rapid and rapid development of the pathology, as a result of the serious condition of the patient.
- Chronic - observed in the second case, where the development of the disease occurs more against the background, in a chronic form.
