The term “heart failure” sounds as if the heart has already failed. This can increase a person’s anxiety especially in the aging population that is a targeted community for this disease assuming that the failure is equivalent to death. Heart failure is actually the decline in the hearts ability to sufficiently pump oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. Many people can live with heart failure and are able to manage it through lifestyle changes‚ prescribed medication compliance‚ and regular physician

In ischemic stroke‚ which represents about 80% of all strokes‚ decreased or absent circulating blood deprives neurons of necessary substrates. The effects of ischemia are fairly rapid because the brain does not store glucose‚ the chief energy substrate and is incapable of anaerobic

Right sided heart failure happens when the right side of the heart is unable to pump an adequate amount of blood to the lungs and out of the right side of the heart. This either happens because the hearts muscles are unable to fully contract or they are inflamed not allowing an adequate amount of blood to enter them. This leads to a backup in venous blood. The venous blood puts pressure on the walls of the blood vessels (especially in the legs). This causes blood plasma to leak into the interstitial
Premium Heart Myocardial infarction Blood
Scientific Basis Congestive Heart Failure is a disease in which the heart is unable to properly keep up with the amount of blood being sent to the heart. The heart muscle itself‚ in the case of heart failure‚ is unable to sufficiently pump the blood away from the heart and to the body to keep up with the incoming deoxygenated flow. This failure to pump blood can build up pressure and cause additional pumping resistance. The decreased cardiac output of heart failure causes the circulation to become
