Heart rheumatism

Short characteristic of a disease

Heart troubles are a distinctive feature of modern society of which are characteristic: slow-moving way of life, enthusiasm for addictions, chaotic sexual bonds and improper feeding. Besides, thorax bruises, hereditary factors, syphilis, an angiosclerosis and some other diseases can be the reasons of heart diseases. If to speak about the most widespread problems of cardiovascular system, then, first of all, it is worth allocating rheumatism of heart which treatment even more often is required to young people.

Rheumatism of heart represents inflammatory process by which rheumatism is followed. At the same time there is a disorganization connecting fabrics, formation of rheumatic small knots, their subsequent scarring and development of a cardiosclerosis. Let's notice that the inflammation has no accurate localization, and in some cases it takes all covers of body. However, the modern medicine with its effective diagnostic technologies seldom brings to such sad outcome. As a rule, the disease manages to be found in time when it is concentrated in any one department. If at the diagnosis heart rheumatism symptoms demonstrate damage of muscles of body, then doctors speak about a myocardium. Impact on an internal cover is called an endocardium. And if inflammatory process affects an outside cover, then this defect is called as a pericardium.

Heart rheumatism – symptoms and a clinical picture

At inspection in specialized clinic at patients come to light: expansion of borders of heart, change of composition of blood, emergence of noise in work of body and a priglushennost of its tones. Emergence of symptoms of heart failure is quite possible. Besides, distinguishing characters of rheumatism of heart are:

Valves as they are most subject to action of inflammatory reactions are exposed to special danger. If the diagnosis diffusion rheumatism of heart is made, symptoms of a disease are expressed stronger and are characterized by big displays of heart failure that exerts impact on the choice of a technique of treatment.

Heart rheumatism – treatment of a disease

The main goal of medical procedures – to reduce degree of manifestation of inflammatory process, to eliminate displays of heart failure and to return to cardiovascular system its usual functionality. If at the patient the aggravated heart rheumatism is observed, the high bed rest is shown it. For this reason patients are usually hospitalized in profile department of hospital, in the conditions of a hospital it is much easier to trace a condition of the person and to hold urgent events at aggravations of inflammatory process.

Complex treatment with obligatory use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs is the cornerstone of therapy of rheumatism of heart. To patients penicillin, erythromycin, glucocorticosteroids is appointed. At the started and irregular shapes of rheumatism of heart treatment is based on reception gamma глобулиновых drugs and the desensibilizing medicines. In addition, throughout a course of antiinflammatory therapy, the patient accepts vitamin drugs, including ascorbic acid.

The optimum dose of glucocorticoids is chosen with a careful eye to weight of pathology and degree of manifestation of the happened changes. As a rule, patients accept Prednisolonum in number of 15-25 mg/days, and the bulk of drug has to have morning hours. If the diagnosis long rheumatism of heart is made to the patient, treatment is based on reception of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs which combine with glucocorticoids and basic drugs (chloroquine, plaquenil, benzylpenicillin).
