Sports Cardiology

  Sports cardiology is the set of tests performed to know the diseases of the heart muscle that may pose a danger to the patient when practicing any sport. Through a series of exercises, this analysis allows to recognize tolerance and adaptation of the heart after intense physical demands. There are treatments that have been changing over time, such as myocardial infarction. At first, it is imposed on the total and complete rest patient while currently there are specialists who prescribe an exercise with increasing intensity. However, this effort must be monitored and supervised always. ...

Sudden death

Sudden death is a sudden and natural death. The main cause of sudden death is cardiac arrest. Although there are likely to regain the patient by the cardiopulmonary resuscitation at times. It is estimated that 12% of natural deaths are sudden deaths. In patients with ischemic heart disease, sudden death is the most common form of death. Among infants and adults over 45 years there are more cases of MSC. It is also more common in men than in women. Popularly it is believed that there is a relationship between physical activity and sudden death. But the overall impact is small. To minimize the risk, it is recommended that a preliminary medical examination to sports, especially before a competition. Some drugs, such as diuretics or antiarrhythmics, can cause arrhythmia and so sudden death. Drugs, especially cocaine, also favors this unexpected death. ...

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. There are aspects that predispose people to suffer them as age, sex, race and, above all, family history. Also, maintain a balanced diet also prevents the control of blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose. ...

Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a sterol (lipid or fat) that the human body needs to function properly, but too much cholesterol in the blood is bad because it can cause heart disease and stroke, among other problems. The cholesterol tends to increase with age but usually causes no symptoms, only detected with a blood test. People with family history of overweight or consuming lots of high-fat meal are very likely to have high cholesterol levels. You can lower cholesterol by performing exercise and consumption of fruits and vegetables. ...

dilated cardiomyopathy

Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disease that affects the heart and is characterized by being weakened and enlarged. This leads to the result that the heart can not pump to the body enough blood. The main causes of this disease are coronary artery disease and hypertension. Dilated cardiomyopathy symptoms such as pain or pressure in the chest, coughing, fatigue, loss of appetite and swelling of the feet, among others. ...

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. ...

Heart attack / angina

Angina is a medical pathology manifested clinically by intense thoracic pain, because of insufficient blood flow that supplies the heart through the coronary arteries usually appears abruptly and lasts a short time. Also characteristic is the feeling of constriction in chest level, often radiating to the left arm or jaw. Also, the anginal attack can cause symptoms to generalized level, as paleness, cold sweats, anxiety and strong sense of immediate death, but usually lasts a couple of minutes. Always it is a medical emergency and the medical performance in the first time is critical. Myocardial infarction would be the ultimate expression of angina. ...

Heart attack / angina pectoris

Myocardial infarction occurs when a coronary artery is blocked, dying a portion of the heart muscle. The clogged artery, blood supply to the heart is suppressed. If prolonged, the tissue dies and does not regenerate. ...

Heart Failure

Heart failure occurs when the body in a permanent obstacle is located in the blood circulation. This may be located within the heart muscle or outside, which causes an increase in blood pressure. There are two types of heart failure: systolic, when the heart muscle can not pump blood and ridding the heart; and diastolic pressure when the heart muscles are stiff and not fill with blood. Both are treatable. First, avoid any effort that work overload of the heart, and then, deliver drugs that provide vitality to exhausted heart muscle. Additionally, when the obstacle is within the coronary arteries of coronary insufficiency talk. ...

Heart murmur

  A heart murmur is a noise comparable to that makes the air in a torch, which is usually pathological, although young children may be normal. You can listen using a device called phonendoscope, which is placed at chest level. The heart murmurs are always indicative that there is increased blood flow to heart level, either by an alteration to the level of a heart valve or a noncardiac cause. Besides, the situation blow, the sonic character, location, irradiation, and the variation by reference to the effort and the change of position, are always data to take into account because they offer a lot of information regarding the pathology that He has caused. ...

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. Primary, derived from problems with cholesterol transporters systems and genetic factors, and the secondary, where the increase in cholesterol is associated with certain liver, endocrine and kidney disease. ...

Hypertension

Hypertension is the increase in blood pressure either transiently, intermittent or permanent, always above a level considered normal values ​​ranging from 160 / 95mmH, according to the World Health Organization. Clinically, it can not give symptoms or, conversely, manifested in the form of severe headaches, congestion face ... Aparate, high blood pressure (hypertension) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rate is one of the problems most important public health in developed countries. Hypertension is treated with general measures such as a balanced, low-fat diet and drug therapy. This will prevent in many cases the complications that can result from poorly controlled hypertension, a heart, eyes and kidneys. ...

It is a rare disease and can be caused by several factors: infections, allergic reactions, diseases with an immunological basis, etc. In some patients, there are no symptoms, but in most the disease is manifested by chest pain, fatigue, fever, joint pain, or shortness of breath, among other symptoms. For diagnosis, it is necessary to perform a series of tests (general analytic, an ultrasound of the heart and an electrocardiogram), and treatment aims to eradicate what caused the inflammation of the heart muscle by prescribing antibiotics or anti-inflammatory and recommendation salt diet or decreased physical activity. In many cases, recovery with proper treatment may involve the complete cure of the patient, preventing further complications such as heart failure. ...

Pacemaker

  A pacemaker is an electronic device that generates electrical impulses to the heart. They are designed for people who can not keep up and often beats properly because your natural pacemaker is not working properly. The artificial pacemaker is a cardiac pacing system that controls and monotoriza cardiac electrical activity and causes electrical impulses are triggered. There are two types of pacemakers: temporary and permanent. Permanent pacemaker implantation is done by subcutaneous implantation of the generator, while temporary pacemaker generator is implanted in the patient and can be done transcutaneously or intravenously. ...

Palpitations

Palpitations are heartbeat of sudden onset and violent, sensitive and annoying. Normally the heart action is perceived only in a situation of stress, strong emotion or after the completion of an important exercise. But heart palpitations can occur in certain pathological states in which the heartbeat increase in intensity and frequency, as in the case of tachycardia, which can be a symptom of cardiac or noncardiac disease, such as: a significant anemia , an increase of thyroid function, liver disease, or other conditions; but they can also occur after drinking alcohol, tea, coffee and other stimulants. ...

Pericarditis

Pericarditis is inflammation of the serous membrane, ie, the outer coat that surrounds the heart sac. It may be due to an infectious origin, or appear without apparent cause or after a general infection like pneumonia, tuberculosis ... All symptoms are cardiocirculatory from dyspnea heart failure, through oppression or symptoms of decompensation; and clinically manifested with choking and intense stabbing chest pain level. In many cases, it is generally a benign condition that refers to own treatment of the symptoms presented by the patient, but in exceptional cases, surgical treatment may be necessary. Pericarditis can give a very similar clinical cardiomyopathy but it is important to differentiate since the treatment is completely different. ...

Preventive Cardiology

  Preventive cardiology is the set of measures intended to protect the person of the possibility of developing a specific medical condition. The high incidence and high mortality from ischemic heart disease have been raising awareness in the society for prevention campaigns, awareness and mentation, with the aim of trying to prevent and combat the so-called risk factors: obesity, snuff, hypertension, sedentary lifestyle, hypercholesterolemia ... This type of action prior to the onset of the disease is called primary prevention, while in high even certain medical or surgical guidelines, such as bypass surgery would be used to improve the quality and survival. ...

Second medical opinion

The second opinion is the medical report containing the diagnostic or therapeutic proposal from the illness of a patient by a different professional who established the first diagnosis. Patients may request a second medical opinion are those who want to confirm or know the valuation of another specialist. If the second opinion is different and the patient chooses the latter option, you can receive assistance both in the center normally attending the patient, as in the center where the final diagnosis is made. ...

Stress Test

It is known as stress test or treadmill test electrocardiographic medical examination which is generally used for diagnosis and assessment of heart failure or angina. Over the years, its use has expanded the use of this test but can not be performed on all patients suffering from heart diseases because it can pose some risks for the efforts involved in their implementation. To realize this, a static or ergonometric bicycle is used, following a methodology of progression overload thereof as a strong official protocol. The patient is monitored to control the test pulse rate, blood pressure, oxygen consumption and electrocardiographic changes and clinical response to stress (pain, fatigue ...). ...

Syncope

A sudden and transient loss of consciousness is defined as syncope, with absence of postural tone and falling to the floor (if the patient is standing), but with spontaneous recovery, which does not require cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers to recover normality ...

Thoracic pain

  The chest pain is a pain in the front of the chest that may be a symptom of many diseases: heart disease, such as acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, or pericarditis; respiratory infectious type, such as influenza, pneumonia; nerve, such as anxiety attacks; osteoarticular and muscle u. However, keep in mind that despite the feeling severe pain in the chest, often the causes are not dangerous to the health of the individual. Since the cause of chest pain can be multiple, to avoid any mishap, it is essential quick reference to specialist for immediate treatment, in case it is needed. ...

tilt table

  The test tilt or tilt-table test is used to find the cause of syncope suffered by the patient. To perform the test, the subject must be tied by the arms and feet reclining on a special table, and will insert an intravenous catheter in one arm while the other will be placed a bracelet to control blood pressure. 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. ...
