Ischemic cardiomyopathy

Description:

Ischemic cardiomyopathy – one of the most common forms of chronic coronary heart disease. From an ischemic cardiomyopathy people of middle age, in most cases – men (99% from all cases of this disease) suffer, most often.

Symptoms of the Ischemic cardiomyopathy:

The ischemic cardiomyopathy leads to increase in mass of heart, to bivetrikulyarny dilatation, to serious atherosclerotic damage of coronal arteries and to disproportional thinning of walls of a left ventricle. This illness – the reason of development of a myocardial infarction and a chronic form of heart failure.


Frequent symptom of an ischemic cardiomyopathy – adjournment of calcium (Са) in the field of an aorta ring.

Reasons of the Ischemic cardiomyopathy:

The main reason of development of an ischemic cardiomyopathy – atherosclerosis of coronal arteries as a result of which blood-groove volume decreases by 1 Piece of mass of a myocardium that becomes the reason of increase in tension in a myocardium. In this situation, ischemia is a factor of "backfilling" and oppression of activity of a myocardium.
The second reason of an ischemic cardiomyopathy – development of contractures of myofibrils.

Treatment of the Ischemic cardiomyopathy:

Treatment of this form of a cardiomyopathy depends on amount of the unimpaired, healthy tissues of muscles of heart. Medicamentous therapy is in most cases carried out (treatment by drugs of group of cardiac glycosides, diuretics and digoksid). In more hard cases resort to heart transplantation or to therapy by stem cells.
