Atrial Fibrillation

The atrial fibrillation surgery aims to restore sinus rhythm (normal heart rhythm) in patients presenting some cardiac pathology. The technique used to carry out this operation is highly complex and is based on the performance of various lines of scars at the level of the atria, to create a unique path for transmission of the electrical impulse from the sinus node to the atrioventricular node. The ultimate goal is to prevent those improper electrical stimuli that cause atrial fibrillation are transmitted. Currently, among the techniques used in this type of surgery the use of ultrasound, radiofrequency and cryotherapy is contemplated; action creates pathways for the transmission of electrical impulses, just as scars induced in traditional surgery. ...

Cardiovascular Risk

The factors that provide an cardiovascular risk are those who are associated with a greater likelihood of cardiovascular disease such as cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension, smoking, genetic inheritance, stress, obesity and heart rate. These agents affect both the arteries of the heart as the other parts of the body such as the brain, kidney and lower limbs. The most common consequences are myocardial infarction or cardiovascular events such as thrombosis, embolism and cerebral hemorrhage.

Echocardiogram

The echocardiogram is a diagnostic test based on the use of ultrasonic techniques using ultrasound emission on the chest area, heart reach several structures reflecting on them again to be collected, analyzed and represented through graphics. The echocardiographic analysis or ultrasound of the heart represents a histogram of the mobility of the heart muscle and is especially useful for the study of the functioning of heart valves and their pathology. Also, this diagnostic test is useful for post-surgical follow-metal stents them. Furthermore, the development of B-scan is a plane scanning ultrasonic viewing images in real time that allows calculation of volumes and areas of valvular orifices, which serves to complete medical diagnostics. ...

Electrocardiogram

  The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic test that is a record, with special tools (electrocardiogram) of the electrical activity of normal heart and presenting pathology. It also constitutes one of the most important knowledge and appreciation of most of the heart techniques. Also, electrocardiography provides an invaluable diagnostic aid growth of different heart chambers (atria and ventricles). In many cases, the diagnosis of congenital heart disease is known from the characteristic plot of this. In fact, the ECG provides important data for the evaluation of more than 80% of heart disease. ...

Hypercholesterolemia

Hypercholesterolemia is the presence of blood cholesterol above normal levels. This increase is often associated with heart problems, diet, sex, lifestyle and endogenous synthesis. Thus the concentration of blood cholesterol hereditary and dietary factors involved, along with other related physical activity. We can distinguish two types of hypercholesterolemia.

In addition, to analyze heart rate, you put a set of electrodes connected to an electrocardiograph for electrocardiograms constant during the time of performing the test. The individual will upset your heart rate to the point where eventually lose consciousness, emulating syncope. Thus, the detailed results of the test will start drug treatment to prevent the patient to return to fainting. ...

Valvular

The valve disease is a typical disease of the heart valves. The valves can be damaged for various reasons, for example infections or aging.

Venous insufficiency

It means venous insufficiency difficulties in the venous return of blood flow through the veins, either by the presence of a stenosis in the vessel, by an insufficiency of valves therein, or because they have lost the elasticity of its walls, expanding and leading to varicose veins.
