Myocardial infarction
This document defines myocardial infarction and describes its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. A myocardial infarction occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked, causing heart cell death. It causes chest pain and other symptoms like nausea and shortness of breath. Diagnosis involves EKGs, blood tests of cardiac enzymes, and cardiac catheterization. Treatment depends on the severity but may include clot-busting drugs, angioplasty, stents, or coronary bypass surgery to restore blood flow. Goals are to preserve heart function and prevent complications like arrhythmias or heart failure.
Cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathy, or heart muscle disease, is a type of progressive heart disease in which the heart is abnormally enlarged, thickened, and/or stiffened. As a result, the heart muscle's ability to pump blood is less efficient, often causing heart failure and the backup of blood into the lungs or rest of the body. The disease can also cause abnormal heart rhythms.
MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION-MANAGEMENT
Myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack, results from a critical imbalance between oxygen supply and demand in the heart muscle. The primary cause is coronary artery occlusion due to atherosclerosis, vasospasm, or embolism. Symptoms may include chest pain, dyspnea, sweating, and anxiety. Diagnosis is made based on elevated cardiac enzyme levels and ECG changes. Initial treatment focuses on pain relief, oxygen, fluids, and aspirin while long-term prevention includes medications like beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, antiplatelets, and statins to reduce risk of future heart attacks and heart failure.
Angina Pectoris.PPT
1. Angina pectoris is a clinical syndrome characterized by episodes of chest pain or pressure resulting from inadequate blood supply to the heart muscle.
2. Risk factors for angina include age over 55 for men or 65 for women, smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, physical inactivity, and family history of early heart disease.
3. There are several types of angina including stable angina brought on by exertion, unstable angina occurring at rest or with minimal exertion, and Prinzmetal or variant angina occurring during rest especially between midnight and dawn.
Coronary heart diseases ppt
This document summarizes a seminar on coronary artery disease presented by Ms. Umadevi. K. It defines coronary artery disease as a narrowing of the coronary arteries that limits blood supply to the heart muscle. Risk factors include high cholesterol, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and family history. Signs and symptoms include chest pain. Diagnosis involves ECGs, cardiac enzymes tests, echocardiograms, stress tests, and angiography. Treatment includes medications, angioplasty, stents, and bypass surgery to restore blood flow.
Aortic stenosis
Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve that obstructs blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. It is most commonly caused by calcification and fibrosis of the aortic valve. Symptoms include dyspnea, exertional dizziness, and exertional angina as the left ventricle has to work harder to maintain adequate cardiac output against the increased resistance. On examination, the carotid pulse is weak and delayed while auscultation reveals a crescendo-decrescendo systolic murmur best heard at the right upper sternal border that radiates to the carotid arteries. Management involves prompt aortic valve replacement for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis.

Rheumatic Heart Disease
Rheumatic heart disease is a condition that results from rheumatic fever, which causes inflammation and scarring of the heart valves, usually the mitral and aortic valves. It is most common in children ages 5-15 from low socioeconomic backgrounds living in crowded conditions. Long term antibiotic prophylaxis is needed to prevent recurrent streptococcal infections and further heart damage. For those with valve damage, treatment focuses on reducing cardiac workload through bed rest, medications, and possibly surgery such as valve repair or replacement.
Pleural effusion
Normally, the pleural space contains a small amount of fluid (5 to 15 mL), which acts as a lubricant that allows the pleural surfaces to move without friction.
But if fluid builds up from either increased production or inadequate removal pleural effusion results.
Pleural effusion B/L or unilateral (parapneumonic process)
Refers to any significant collection of fluid within pleural space.
Any imbalance in formation, absorption lead accumulation of pleural fluid. Common condition:
CHF
Bacterial pneumonia

Myocardial infarction
This document defines acute myocardial infarction (AMI or heart attack) and discusses its causes, risk factors, signs and symptoms, diagnostic testing, treatment options, and long-term management. An AMI occurs when blood flow to the heart is reduced, damaging heart muscle. The main causes are blockages in the coronary arteries, often due to blood clots forming on top of plaques. Risk factors include age, family history, smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and physical inactivity. Treatment focuses on restoring blood flow through medications, angioplasty, or bypass surgery, along with long-term lifestyle changes and medications to prevent future issues.
Aneurysm
An aneurysm is a localized bulging or ballooning of the wall of an artery. It occurs when the arterial wall weakens, causing it to widen abnormally. The two main types are saccular aneurysms, which are spherical bulges, and fusiform aneurysms, which elongate a portion of the artery. Aneurysms can enlarge over time and rupture, causing life-threatening hemorrhage. Risk factors include atherosclerosis, infection, smoking, hypertension, and genetic conditions. Diagnosis involves physical exam and imaging tests. Treatment depends on the location and size of the aneurysm but may involve open or endovascular surgical repair to prevent rupture.
Pulmonary edema
Pulmonary edema is fluid accumulation in the lungs caused by fluid leaking from blood vessels into the lungs. It can be cardiogenic (caused by heart problems increasing blood pressure in the lungs) or non-cardiogenic. Symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, and cyanosis. Diagnosis involves chest x-ray, echocardiogram, and measuring wedge pressure. Treatment focuses on reducing preload on the heart, lowering afterload, and providing supportive care like oxygen. Outcomes depend on the underlying cause but most cardiogenic cases resolve within 3 days with medical management.

Heart block
This document discusses different types of heart block. It defines heart block as an abnormal heart rhythm where the heart beats too slowly due to blocked electrical signals between the upper and lower chambers. The types of heart block are described as first, second, and third degree. First degree heart block causes a prolonged PR interval but no symptoms. Second degree heart block can be Mobitz type I or II, with type II being more significant. Third degree or complete heart block causes complete dissociation between the upper and lower chambers and requires a pacemaker.
Cor pulmonale
Cor pulmonale, or right heart failure, is caused by high blood pressure in the pulmonary artery and right ventricle due to conditions that restrict pulmonary blood flow such as chronic lung diseases. It develops when pulmonary hypertension leads to enlargement and failure of the right ventricle. Symptoms include shortness of breath, leg swelling, and fatigue. Diagnosis involves physical exam, imaging like echocardiogram and chest x-ray, and assessing pulmonary pressures. Treatment focuses on managing the underlying lung condition, giving diuretics and vasodilators, and may involve oxygen therapy or lung transplantation in severe cases.

Dyspnea, also known as shortness of breath, is a subjective sensation that results from a mismatch between the brain's perception of how much ventilation is needed and the amount of ventilation that is occurring. Three main components contribute to dyspnea: afferent signals from receptors in the lungs and airways, efferent signals from the brain to respiratory muscles, and central processing in the brain. A variety of cardiac, pulmonary, and other medical disorders can cause dyspnea through different mechanisms that impact ventilation. Management of dyspnea involves treating its underlying cause, reducing ventilatory demand, improving respiratory muscle function, and techniques to decrease the sense of respiratory effort.
Presentation on dysponea
Dyspnea derives from Greek for “ “ shortness of breath hard breathing ”. It is often also described as ”. This is a subjective sensation of breathing, from mild discomfort to feelings of suffocation.

Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health

Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Recently uploaded (20)
