Coronary heart disease

Short characteristic of a disease

According to statistical data of World Health Organization, coronary heart disease is the most widespread and most big therapeutic problem of modern society. Such conclusions are drawn on the basis of the fact that every year all new and new people suffer from this disease, and incidence frequency constantly grows. Especially dangerously to the fact that coronary heart disease, the reasons and which manifestations are extremely various quite often leads to full loss of working capacity and is the leading reason of early mortality of people.

Similar effects are connected with insufficiency of blood supply of a cardiac muscle. This pathology received the name "ischemia". In most cases it is a consequence of atherosclerosis of arteries – process at which arterial gleams are considerably narrowed because of formation of plaques. Now hundreds of specialists continue to work on the decision this problem and try to understand that coronary heart disease is. The reasons, symptoms and a clinical picture of a disease are investigated, the huge amount of the actual material is saved up, however, over a disease to speak about a clear victory so far too early. Coronary heart disease which symptoms are shown generally at advanced age continues to take away people, without paying attention to their floor and a social status in society.

Certainly, the modern diagnostic equipment strongly fits early detection of a disease and even allows to estimate predisposition to this or that problem of cardiovascular system, but it is obviously not enough. Considering that, coronary heart disease is how dangerous, treatment of this disease has to take the state under the control, it not less the citizens is interested in that men and women in the blossoming of forces did not die.

Coronary heart disease – pathology symptoms

The first symptoms of coronary heart disease are almost always subjective, that is the patient has unpleasant, burdensome feelings, but for the time being he does not attach them special significance, considering that everything will pass by itself. Meanwhile, the basis for the address to the cardiologist are any pains in heart, especially, if before they never disturbed the person. Except insignificant prickings, coronary heart disease which reasons are often connected with the wrong way of life can be shown in the form of attacks. They are also a reason for immediately the address to the doctor, regardless of duration and intensity of pains. Let's note also some other characteristic symptoms of coronary heart disease:

• thorax, hands pain, mandible and spin;
• the asthma arising even at insignificant exercise stresses;
• nausea, vomiting;
• excessive sweating;
• cardiopalmus, disturbance of a cordial rhythm;

In general, at the diagnosis coronary heart disease, symptoms strongly depend on a disease form. It happens so that pathology of cordial system does not prove up to the sudden death of the person at all that happens, for example, at myocardial infarctions. However, approach of a trouble can be determined by indirect signs which number treat: inexplicable attacks of fear, unpleasant feelings in retrosternal area, nervous breakdowns and emotional frustration. Direct symptoms of a sudden cardiac death is a loss of consciousness, lack of cardiac sounds, expansion of pupils and a pale gray shade of skin.

Despite prevalence of sudden lethal outcomes, nevertheless stenocardia – the local pain in retrosternal area which is shown, as a rule, on the left side remains the most typical symptom of coronary heart disease. Let's notice also that if the diagnosis coronary heart disease is made to the person, symptoms of stenocardia are, as a rule, shown intensively. As a matter of fact, character of pain fluctuates from slight unpleasant feelings to the intolerable pain which is followed by alarm, perspiration, nausea and the general weakness. Stenocardia attacks – are short. In most cases they last no more than 10 minutes and therefore many people do not pay them due attention. It is necessary to consider that coronary heart disease which treatment is not carried out or carried out without observance of the established procedures constantly progresses, leads to disturbances in work of cardiovascular system and, eventually, the death of the person.

One more characteristic symptom of coronary heart disease are attacks of a myocardial infarction. At the initial stage the heart attack can be confused with stenocardia, but further it develops absolutely in a different way. In particular, it is possible to note that attacks of a retrosternal pain last much longer and do not act nitroglycerine reception. At the same time at the person arterial pressure increases, there is a condition of suffocation, temperature rises and interruptions of a cordial rhythm are observed.

Let's sum up the result. Coronary heart disease which reasons are extremely various can develop at each person. It develops slowly but surely, for many years destroying cordial system. Respectively, the quicker the person will see a doctor, the higher to keep chance working capacity and to lead normal, full-fledged life till an extreme old age.

Coronary heart disease – treatment of a disease

At once there is a wish to tell that the traditional medicine very hard copes with symptoms and effects of coronary heart disease. Treatment in this case – long, difficult and surely consecutive. The main problem is that now doctors have no technologies which would allow to replace the damaged connecting fabrics on healthy without essential risk for the patient's life. For this reason at the diagnosis coronary heart disease, treatment assumes strengthenings of a healthy part of fabrics about the help of various drugs and constant observation at the specialist for the prevention of attacks.

In recent years there were several techniques which allow to depart from use of classical, inefficient ways of treatment of coronary heart disease. One of them consists in substitution of the damaged fabrics healthy by means of stem cells which form a capillary network of vessels and recover normal blood supply of heart. At present treatment by stem cells is successfully applied in many clinics of the world and we will hope that, sooner or later, this technology will be adopted also by domestic specialists.
