Al‚ 2010)‚ heart failure the pathphysiologic state in which an abnormality of cardiac function is responsible for inadequate systemic function. Further research revealed that it is not considered as a disease but as a combination of signs and symptoms of a group of diseases.

rapid systemic elimination of serum and tissue levels of curcumin [25‚ 26]. Therefore‚ curcumin has a very short retention time in the body [26] and hence‚ its therapeutic efficacy will be restricted. Wahlstrom and Blennow demonstrated that after oral administration of 1 g/kg of curcumin‚ more than 75% was excreted in feces and negligible amounts of curcumin were detected in urine [27]. These findings indicate that a limited amount of curcumin could be absorbed to the systemic circulation. Under

from angina. A means a coronary artery has been blocked and the heart has been damaged. Without blood flow and oxygen‚ part of the heart starts to die. 4 Hypotension hypotension is low blood pressure‚ especially in the arteries of the systemic circulation. Hypotension is the opposite of hypertension‚ which is high blood pressure. It is best understood as a physiological state‚ rather than a disease. It is often associated with shock. 5 Ischemia is a restriction in blood supply to tissues

The gas bubbles‚ known as emboli‚ can enter the arterial or venous circulation. These can have catastrophic effects‚ including death and organ damage (Merck‚ 2015). Problems can occur when hydrogen peroxide is used to soak swabs for wound packing or is used to irrigate large or deep wounds” (Caution: Hydrogen Peroxide‚ 2015)
