Diagnosis involves ECG, stress test, and angiogram. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes, medications, angioplasty, or bypass surgery to improve symptoms and prognosis.
The circulatory system involves the circulation of blood throughout the body. The circulatory system consists of the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries. The heart pumps blood through the arteries which branch into smaller vessels and capillaries to supply tissues with oxygen and nutrients and remove waste. There are several diseases that can affect the heart including angina, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia. These diseases are generally preventable through lifestyle modifications like a healthy diet, exercise, avoiding tobacco, and controlling risk factors like diabetes and high blood pressure. Treatment options depend on the specific disease but may include medication, surgery, lifestyle changes,
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is caused by a build-up of plaque in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. Over time, plaque can harden or rupture, reducing blood flow. Reduced blood flow can cause chest pain called angina or lead to a heart attack if a large section of heart muscle dies from lack of oxygen. Symptoms may include chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling. Tests like EKGs, stress tests, echocardiograms, and angiograms can diagnose CHD. Treatments include lifestyle changes, medications, and procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery to reopen blocked arteries.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to reduced blood flow. CVD includes numerous conditions such as coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease, congenital heart disease, and others. Risk factors for CVD include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity, and family history of early heart disease. CVD can be prevented by treating risk factors and maintaining a healthy lifestyle through diet, exercise, not smoking, and managing conditions like diabetes.
Hypertensive heart disease refers to heart conditions caused by high blood pressure and includes problems like heart failure, coronary artery disease, and left ventricular hypertrophy. Risk factors include obesity, lack of exercise, smoking, an unhealthy diet, family history, and increasing age. Symptoms vary but can include chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling. Diagnosis involves medical history, exams, and tests like EKGs, echocardiograms, and stress tests. Treatment depends on severity but may include medications, surgeries like bypass, or devices like pacemakers. Preventing high blood pressure through diet, exercise, weight control and not smoking can reduce heart disease risk.
Heart disease is a broad term used to describe diseases that affect the heart's ability to pump blood effectively. There are many types of heart disease, including myocardial infarction (death of heart cells from lack of blood flow), angina pectoris (chest pain from narrowed or blocked arteries), congenital defects (problems with heart structure), heart failure (the heart's inability to pump enough blood), and stroke (blockage or rupture of blood vessels in the brain). To prevent heart disease, one should eat a healthy diet low in saturated fat, exercise regularly, avoid smoking, drink alcohol in moderation, manage stress, and maintain a healthy weight.
Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. It can be chronic or acute and symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling, and reduced ability to exercise. It is often caused by conditions like coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, or heart attack that damage the heart muscle over time. Treatment involves lifestyle changes like reducing salt, exercising, and weight control as well as medications to remove fluid, lower blood pressure on the heart, strengthen contractions, or improve pumping ability.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
