lighten the burden of heart
Today we have many ways to keep the heart healthy, but equally those that make the heart sick. According to statistics, more than 47 lakh people died due to heart diseases last year. We can handle it only by knowing our heart,
There's a lot to be said about heart, but the truth is most people are not conscious about heart health. Cases of heart diseases are increasing in people of all age groups. The number of people who died of heart attack in India in 2014 was 18,309, which increased to 28,005 in the year 2019. This figure is from the National Crime Records Bureau. Not only this, 35 percent of the cases of heart attack are seen in people below 35 years of age. Other statistics related to heart diseases are also disappointing. Wrong eating habits, lack of sleep and exercise, inability to control stress in adverse situations, increasing pollution and genetic factors – there are many things that affect heart health. There are also some diseases, which are called congenital heart disease or birth-related heart disease in medical language, such as a child's heart defect or perforation in his heart or suffering from rheumatic heart fever, etc. Despite this, most of the heart diseases are the result of wrong lifestyle.
Youth and disease
· Cardio means heart and vascular means blood vessels. That is, the heart and whatever disorders or diseases are associated with it, they are called cardiovascular diseases. Blood vessels include both arteries and veins. Arteries carry oxygenated blood to different parts of the body, while veins bring the impure blood back to the heart for purification.CVD includes coronary artery disease, heart attack, high blood pressure, and peripheral vascular disease (problems related to the veins in the legs). Not only this, stroke or brain attack can also be placed under CVD, but in medical science, the problem of stroke is related to neurology. CAD is a medical condition in which plaque builds up on the inner wall of the heart arteries due to unhealthy lifestyle. You can call it a kind of fat. As a result, the blood supply is interrupted and the risk of heart attack increases.
· The good news is that except for genetic factors, other factors that make the heart sick can be controlled. Obesity can control diabetes, stress etc. Cholesterol-lowering drugs and blood-thinning drugs are given in the early stages of CAD treatment.
Required methods of treatment=
Angioplasty: There are two coronary arteries in the left side of the heart and one coronary artery or artery in the right side. As a result, one artery or the rest of the other arteries may become blocked. Angioplasty is done to remove the blockage of the arteries. In angioplasty, a microscopic tube from the patient's thigh or wrist is inserted into a blood vessel or Blood vessels and then removes that plaque or accumulated fat. A balloon is also used in this procedure, hence it is also called balloon angioplasty.
Stents: After angioplasty, the blockage caused by plaque in the arteries of the heart is removed, but later the blockage comes again. A stent is put in to remove it. A stent is a microscopic tube made of metal and looks like a metal mesh. This stent is put inside the arteries. The main function of stents is to keep the arteries open. There are also some stents, which are inserted into the body along with medicines. After the stent, the person should follow the instructions given by the doctor exactly. Bypass surgery: If there is more than 70 percent blockage in all three coronary arteries, then bypass surgery may be required, but the bypass surgery is decided on the basis of the physical condition, age and family status of the patient. Pacemaker A pacemaker is used if the heartbeat becomes abnormal. In this condition, the patient may feel tired or short of breath or even faint. It is a microscopic device that transmits electrical signals to the heart muscle. Due to these signals, it helps to normalize the heart rate and its rhythm. In general, pacemakers do not pose a risk to the patient and are safe, but in some cases, the location of the pacemaker (slightly below the collar bone) can lead to infection. So keep in touch with the doctor.
Keep an eye on the heart through digital means
The world of digital health is now becoming a necessity. Today there are many apps and digital devices that can be used to check pulse, BP, fitness and stamina. No app or device can replace medical check-up or treatment, but heart monitoring can be done.
Instant Heart Rate App This app is available on both iPhone and Android 85 phones. This app converts the phone's camera lens into a heart rate monitor, which gives heart rate readings in less than 10 seconds. This app records beats per minute. The activity of the body is also detected during the test.
• Pulse Point Respond many times on the spot immediately Getting help is difficult. The app connects you with CPR trends community members who are ready to help with heart or other emergency situations. Nearby people get information through GPS.
Smart Watch There are many smart watches in the market today. Especially, with Apple Watch, you can check the functioning of the heart anytime, anywhere. Before symptoms appear, it alerts that the heartbeat is becoming abnormal. Emergency button alerts emergency contacts and services.
Cardio Cardio is a holistic heart health tracking app that gives information about heart rate, BP and cardiovascular problems. The data received from this app can be shared with the doctor.
Fibri Check This app gives accurate information about heartbeats like ECG. A one-minute reading shows that the heartbeat is irregular. It is FDA approved.
Stay in touch with the doctor Digitally Heart patients can stay in touch with the doctor through remote monitoring equipment, so that emergency consultations can be obtained. Wherever the patient is, as soon as the instrument touches the patient, the doctor gets to know the condition of the patient.
