CONGESTIVE CARDIAC FAILURE

Congestive heart failure (CHF)

Congestive heart failure (CHF), also called chronic heart failure or congestive cardiac failure (CCF), is an ongoing condition in which the heart muscle is weakened and can’t pump as well as it normally does. The main pumping chambers of the heart (the ventricles) become larger or thicker, and either can’t contract (squeeze) or can’t relax as well as they should. This triggers fluid retention, particularly in the lungs, legs and abdomen.

The major causes of CHF include coronary heart disease, hypertension, cardiomyopathy and other heart diseases. Of these, coronary heart disease (usually accompanied by a history of past heart attacks) is by far the most common.

The major factors that contribute to coronary heart disease include:

• obesity
• a diet high in saturated fats and cholesterol
• high blood pressure
• diabetes
• smoking
• physical inactivity.

Chronic heart failure is more common in elderly people. The survival rate for people with this disorder depends on the severity of their condition. Treatments include medication, lifestyle changes and (sometimes) surgery.

Symptoms of congestive heart failure

Symptoms of congestive heart failure include:

• new or worsening shortness of breath (particularly during physical activity or waking you up at night)
• weight gain
• muscular fatigue, tiredness
• swelling of ankles or legs
• swelling of abdomen
• dizziness
• heart palpitations
• chest pain or discomfort in parts of the upper body
• unexplained coughing and wheezing

Causes of congestive heart failure

The heart is a double pump made up of four chambers. Deoxygenated blood from the veins enters the right upper chamber (right atrium or auricle), is passed to the right lower chamber (right ventricle), and then pumped to the lungs. Oxygenated blood from the lungs enters the left upper chamber (left atrium or auricle) and then enters the left lower chamber (left ventricle). The blood is then pumped around the body, under pressure, via arteries.

In a person with CHF, the left ventricle does not empty properly. This leads to increased pressure in the atria (upper chambers) and the nearby veins. This backlog of blood triggers fluid retention (oedema) in the lungs, abdominal organs and legs. This affects the kidneys, interferes with their function and leads to retention of salt and water, causing oedema.

In some people with heart failure, rather than failed pumping of the blood from the left ventricle, there is failed relaxation of the left ventricle. This also leads to blood pooling under back-pressure.
CHF can be caused by several conditions, including:

• Past heart attacks from coronary heart disease – can lead to scarring in the heart muscle.
This is the most common cause for CHF.
• High blood pressure (hypertension) – the high pressure in the arteries means that the heart must keep pumping more forcefully. It may not be able to keep it up.
• Heart valve disease – damaged heart valves may allow the blood to flow backwards or may obstruct forward flow.
• Congenital heart disease – heart abnormalities may be present from birth, such as defective valves or abnormal communications between heart chambers.
• Cardiomyopathy – this condition is characterised by enlargement of the heart muscle, where the left ventricle enlarges to compensate for poor contraction.
• Myocarditis – viruses or other infections may damage the heart muscle.
• Heart arrhythmia – rapid heartbeat with irregularity, over a long period of time, can also lead to inefficient contraction and heart failure.
• Thyroid disease – the thyroid gland produces too much of its hormone, thyroxine. This increases the work of the heart and can lead to heart failure.

Factors that can worsen symptoms of CHF

The symptoms of CHF can be worsened by a number of factors, including:

• anaemia
• too much salt or alcohol in the diet
• pregnancy
• some infections
• kidney diseases
• lung diseases.

Diagnosis of CHF

CHF can be confirmed with a variety of tests, including:

• x-rays
• echocardiography
• exercise stress test
• electrocardiogram (ECG)
• lung function tests
• angiography
• blood tests.

Treatment
Homoeopathy  as deals with symptoms of particular patient and can manage well the associated symptoms of CCF

addressing the underlying disorder – for example, treatment of high blood pressure
• lifestyle changes – such as regular gentle physical activity, losing excess body fat, stopping smoking, adhering to a low-fat and low-salt diet, restricting alcohol and having adequate rest
• surgery – to replace narrowed or leaking heart valves
• coronary bypass surgery – in some cases

Prevention is better and every second is important during it

Dengue and homoeopathy

#dengue

If your immunity and your vital force are good no infection will affect you.

DENGUE

Dengue fever is a viral disease that is spread by mosquitoes. It is a problem in many tropical and subtropical parts of the world, including Africa, Asia, South America and Australia. Estimates suggest that around 100 million cases occur each year.

Dengue fever ranges in severity from a mild flu-like illness through to a severe disease. Dengue fever can develop into the more severe forms of the illness, dengue haemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome.

Symptoms of dengue fever

The typical signs and symptoms of uncomplicated dengue fever may include:

• high temperature within one week of infection
• severe headache
• pain behind the eyes
• joint and muscle aches
• metallic taste in the mouth
• appetite loss
• abdominal pain
• nausea and vomiting
• diarrhoea
• generally feeling unwell (malaise)
• skin rash that appears about four days after the onset of fever
• psychological disturbances

Symptoms of dengue haemorrhagic fever:

• all the above symptoms of uncomplicated dengue fever
• bleeding under the skin, which causes purple bruises
• bleeding from the nose or gums
• liver problems
• heart problems.

Symptoms of dengue shock syndrome:

A person with dengue haemorrhagic fever may go on to develop dengue shock syndrome. Signs and symptoms may include:

• all the above symptoms of uncomplicated dengue fever and dengue haemorrhagic fever
• severe bleeding
• extremely low blood pressure caused by blood loss (shock)
• coma
• death.

How it is spread

Dengue fever is not transmitted (spread) from person to person. Only infected mosquitoes(Ae. aegypti) transmit dengue fever. It is thought that the mosquito contracts the virus when it bites an infected person. The mosquito is then infective for the rest of its life and can spread the virus every time it bites someone.

Diagnosis of dengue fever

See a doctor immediately if you think you may have dengue fever. Early diagnosis is important to reduce the risk of complications and avoid further spread of the virus.

Your doctor will ask about your medical history, including any travel, and will do a physical examination. They may order a blood test.

The two types of blood tests that can be used to diagnose dengue fever are:

• Nucleic acid testing requires one blood test.
• Antibody testing requires two blood tests, three weeks apart.

Now comes the treatment point of view

"In allopathy there is no specific treatment or medicine or vaccine for dengue" and never use aspirin during an attack its fatal.

Homoeopathy is THE only system for prevention and curing dengue. Those who are under homoeopathic treatment for any other issue are safe since their immunity will be high so nothing to worry.

Those who are affected with dengue contact your homoeopath as early as possible there is nothing to get panic never late to avoid complicating.

If your are afraid of it contact your homoeopaths for prevention medicine. Take it, can be given to new born to old age. Safe and effective.

"Treat the symptom of patient not the disease"

Things to remember:

●Homoeopathy has cure.
●Take proper rest.
●More fluid intake.
●Avoid mosquitoes bite by wearing full sleeve, socks, mosquitoes repellent, net for bed.
●Avoid storing water in open vessels never let water to get stagnant.
●never take medicine on your own either allopathy or homoeopathy.
●Prevention is better than cure.

ADDICTION

An alarming issues in modern day world, people of all age and all sex are affected by this.

The major and important cause is improper handling of mental stress and wrong companions.

School students in Hyderabad are addicted to drugs cocaine etc its shocking. Tobacco and alcohol is spreading like a virus and people are addicted to it, though knowing the danger effect of it.
