* Illness of Heart & Vein *

In addition, congenital heart disease that naturally causes heart problems includes atrial septal defect and pulmonary artery stenosis.

Other illnesses include myocardial illness, cardiovalvular illness, pericardial illness, cardiac hypertrophy, and cardioneuropathy caused by psychological causes. In addition, there are many diseases related to the heart itself, blood vessels, and blood flow.

This page outlines the characteristics of the main diseases in [Cardiovascular diseases].

Angina is a condition in which the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart itself are narrowed or clogged, causing insufficient blood flow and the supply of oxygen and nutrients required by the heart muscle.

Angina presents with paroxysmal chest tightness. The main cause of angina is arteriosclerosis of the coronary arteries.

Myocardial infarction is a condition in which angina is exacerbated and the flow of blood that sends oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle is completely stopped.

Cells die because they are not supplied with oxygen or nutrients. It is accompanied by very strong paroxysmal pain. The cause is marked arteriosclerosis of the coronary arteries and clogging of blood clots (thrombus).

The heart repeatedly contracts and expands to send blood to each part of the body. It shows systolic systolic blood pressure and diastolic diastolic blood pressure.

When the systolic blood pressure is 140 mmHg or higher, or the diastolic blood pressure is 85 mmHg or higher, it is called hypertension. Long-term hypertension leads to arteriosclerosis, leading to serious life-threatening illnesses such as cerebral hemorrhage and stroke.

The cause of high blood pressure is not only genetic constitution but also bad lifestyle.

The heart pumps blood to every corner of the body with a constant rhythm, but heart failure is a condition in which the pumping function of the heart does not work properly.

Due to the lack of blood to various organs, congestion occurs in the organs, and the phenomenon is that it becomes easy to get tired, and it becomes difficult to breathe. Heart failure is caused by overwork and stress in addition to heart diseases such as myocardial infarction, angina, and valvular heart disease.

The heart repeatedly contracts and expands at a constant rhythm, pumping blood while pulsing about 60 to 90 times per minute. Arrhythmia is a condition in which this rhythm becomes unstable for some reason.

The pulse may stop temporarily, and symptoms include fainting, dizziness, palpitation, and dyspnea. Causes of arrhythmia such as pulse stoppage or sudden increase are angina, myocardial infarction, high alcohol intake and overwork.

Pulmonary embolism is a condition in which the lungs are clogged with blood clots (thrombus). After the early stages of no subjective symptoms, symptoms include severe chest pain, dyspnea, bloody sputum, cough, anxiety, sweating, and pale complexion, putting life-threatening conditions at risk.

Most of the cause is that blood clots that occur in the deep blood vessels of the lower extremities move to the lungs and clog them. Economy syndrome is a typical example of this.

The thickest blood vessel in the body, the aorta, is made up of three layers: the intima, the media, and the adventitia. The condition that has been lost is a dissecting aortic aneurysm.

There are other types of causes of aortic aneurysm, which is a bump on the wall of the aorta, called true and pseudo. When a dissecting aortic aneurysm develops, it causes sudden pain that tears in the chest and back. Rupture of an aortic aneurysm is immediately life-threatening.

When the upper blood pressure (systolic blood pressure) is 100 or less, it is called hypotension. Hypotension that is caused by other illnesses is called symptomatological hypotension.

On the other hand, hypotension for which the cause is not clear is called essential hypotension. Hypotension causes various symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, headache, general malaise, palpitation, tachycardia, guest vein, nausea, abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, anxiety, and tension.

Arteriosclerosis obliterans is a disease caused by arteriosclerosis that narrows the arteries in the limbs, especially the legs, and impairs blood flow.

Your limbs may become cold, your feet may become numb while walking, your feet may become pale, and your feet may hurt and you may not be able to walk. Since it is basically caused by arteriosclerosis, it is often associated with various diseases caused by arteriosclerosis.

Varicose veins of the lower extremities are a condition in which veins near the body surface of the lower extremities are dilated and become like bumps while irregularly winding and meandering.

After standing or walking for a long time, you may experience dullness, burning discomfort, pain, and swelling. Leg cramps will occur frequently.

Due to gravity such as standing work for a long time, blood tends to collect on the legs and pressure is applied to the walls of veins, causing the weak parts of blood vessels to swell.
