Congestive heart failure is the process in which the heart becomes in-able to maintain circulation for the requirements of the body at an effective rate‚ As the heart is one of the body’s vital organs‚ it plays an important role and has some degree of compensating mechanisms to balance the body’s needs with existing disease of the heart. Eventually when the heart is no longer able to compensate heart failure occurs; congestion will then follow‚ resulting in insufficient supply of blood to the body

Structure of the heart: The heart is at the centre of the cardiovascular system. It is a hollow muscular pump that drives blood through the arteries‚ which allows it to reach the working muscles and tissues. The heart is split into two halves. The right side of the heart is separated from the left by a solid wall known as the septum. This prevents any blood on the right side coming into contact with the blood on the left side. The right side of the heart sends deoxygenated blood to the lungs in

Cardiovascular The cardiovascular system is consists of the heart and network of arteries‚ veins‚ and capillaries that transport blood throughout the body. There are two primary circulatory loops in the human body: the pulmonary circulation loop and the systemic circulation loop. The heart is a muscular organ about the size of a closed fist that functions as the body’s circulatory pump. It takes in deoxygenated blood through the veins and delivers it to the lungs for oxygenation before pumping it into

Onychomycosis Onychomycosis‚ also known as ringworm of the nail‚ is a fungal infection that primarily influences either the fingernails or the toenails (though toenails are more susceptible). Such an affliction may correlate on any part of the nail‚ visible or not‚ including the nail bed‚ nail plate‚ and nail matrix‚ which is located behind the cuticle‚ and beneath the skin. Onychomycosis is far from life-threatening‚ being among the most common nail diseases that afflict adults. Nevertheless
