Arrhythmia as secondary disease
Coronary artery disease occurs when arteries become hardened and narrowed due to plaque buildup. Over time this can weaken the heart muscle and lead to heart failure or arrhythmias by disrupting blood flow. Electrolyte imbalances can also cause arrhythmias by making heart cells abnormally electrically charged and disrupting the normal rhythm. Both heart muscle diseases and myocarditis weaken the heart by affecting heart muscle structure and function. Post-cardiac surgery, irregular heart rhythms can occur due to trauma, inflammation, hemodynamic stress, ischemic injury or perioperative drugs.
Warning signs of a heart attack
The document provides warning signs and symptoms of heart attacks. It notes that up to 60% of heart attacks are "silent" with no noticeable symptoms. Common symptoms include chest pain and discomfort in the left arm, but heart attacks can occur without chest pains. Less common warning signs include abdominal pain, fatigue, nausea and cold sweats. The document recommends calling emergency services immediately if a heart attack is suspected and provides tips on first aid measures and equipment that can help prevent death from a heart attack.
Neurology
1. Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures from abnormal neuronal activity in the brain. Common symptoms include involuntary muscle contractions and shaking. Treatment was historically based on nervous system depressants, but now focuses on newer antiepileptic drugs.
2. Alzheimer's disease causes memory loss and cognitive impairment. Early symptoms are subtle memory loss worsening over time. Currently there is no cure, but medications can help control symptoms.
3. Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative process affecting motor pathways in the brain. Symptoms include tremors and impaired movement. Treatment focuses on medications to manage symptoms.
Stroke
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, causing brain cells to die from lack of oxygen and nutrients. There are two main types of stroke: ischemic, caused by a blood clot blocking an artery; and hemorrhagic, caused by a broken blood vessel bleeding into the brain. Strokes can affect the entire body, with effects ranging from mild to severe, such as paralysis, speech/thinking problems, or emotional issues. Risk factors include high blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, and age. Symptoms include numbness/weakness, confusion, vision issues, walking problems, or severe headaches. The emergency rules for a sudden stroke are to determine if it's a stroke, make
Stroke
Stroke is the third leading cause of death and leading cause of adult disability in the US. It is caused by a blockage or bleeding in the brain. High blood pressure is the most important modifiable risk factor. Signs of stroke include sudden weakness, abnormal speech, and vision changes. Management involves lifestyle changes like diet and exercise as well as medication to prevent further strokes. Preventing and controlling risk factors such as high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, and high cholesterol can significantly reduce stroke risk.
Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when plaque builds up in the coronary arteries, reducing blood flow to the heart. It is the most common type of heart disease and leading cause of death in the US. CAD develops over many decades as risk factors like smoking, high cholesterol and blood pressure, and diabetes damage artery walls. It can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, heart attack, or heart failure if left untreated. Diagnosis involves tests like ECGs, stress tests and angiograms. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes, medications, and procedures like stents or bypass surgery to improve blood flow.
Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is the hardening and narrowing of the arteries caused by the slow buildup of plaque on the inner walls. Plaque is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium and other substances in the blood. Over time, plaque buildup can severely restrict blood flow or cause blockages. Atherosclerosis has no symptoms until it significantly narrows or blocks an artery. It is a leading cause of death and is diagnosed through medical history, exams and tests. Risk factors include age, family history, high cholesterol, smoking, and others. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes, medications and procedures to open blocked arteries and improve blood flow.
Heart attack
A heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction, occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked, preventing the heart from receiving oxygen. This is usually due to a buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries over many years. Eventually, plaque can rupture inside an artery and cause a blood clot that blocks blood flow. If the blockage is not quickly treated, the portion of heart muscle begins to die. Risk factors include smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and family history. Diagnostic tests include ECGs, blood tests, and coronary angiography. Treatment focuses on restoring blood flow through clot-busting drugs or angioplasty to open the blocked artery.
Fits & fatigue
This document provides information on first aid for epileptic seizures and fatigue. It defines epileptic seizures as abnormal brain activity that causes loss of awareness and describes common symptoms like confusion and muscle jerking. It lists various causes of seizures at different ages. It also describes different types of seizures and provides first aid steps like protecting the person and calling for help if a seizure lasts over 5 minutes. The document then defines fatigue as the decline in a muscle's ability to generate force, often from vigorous exercise. Main causes of fatigue include lack of calcium, decreased nerve signals, low blood flow, and high potassium levels. It recommends strengthening muscles through exercise, staying hydrated, and eating a nutritious diet to prevent fatigue.
Hypoglycemia Or Low Blood Sugar
Hypoglycemia, also known as low blood sugar, occurs when blood glucose levels drop below normal levels and can be dangerous if left untreated. Symptoms can range from feeling unwell to seizures or loss of consciousness. Hypoglycemia is most commonly caused as a side effect of diabetes medications that increase insulin production and lower blood glucose too much. Anyone experiencing symptoms of hypoglycemia like shakiness or mood changes should test their blood glucose level and treat it by consuming glucose-rich foods if it is found to be below 70 mg/dl. Proper diabetes management through medication, diet, exercise and monitoring for hypoglycemia symptoms can help prevent low blood sugar episodes.

Stroke, CVA, Cerebrovascular accident talk
Stroke occurs when a blood vessel that supplies the brain is blocked or ruptures, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. The most common type of stroke is ischemic stroke, which accounts for over 80% of cases and occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery. Less common is hemorrhagic stroke, which occurs when a blood vessel ruptures in or near the brain. Risk factors for stroke include high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, smoking, obesity, high cholesterol, physical inactivity, and excessive alcohol use. Prompt treatment is crucial for stroke victims.
Coronary heart disease
Coronary heart disease is caused by plaque buildup in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart. Over many years, plaque narrows the arteries and reduces blood flow. If plaque ruptures, a blood clot can block blood flow and cause a heart attack. A heart attack occurs when an area of the heart muscle dies from lack of oxygen-rich blood. Angina is chest pain that occurs when blood flow to the heart is reduced. Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and lifestyle changes, medicines, and procedures can help prevent and treat it.

Stroke is a type of cardiovascular disease.
It affects the arteries leading to and within the
brain. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel
that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain
is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When
that happens, part of the brain cannot get the
blood and oxygen it needs, so it starts to die.
Stroke
A stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery or vessel in the brain, interrupting blood flow and oxygen. There are two main types of strokes: ischemic, caused by a blocked artery, and hemorrhagic, caused by a ruptured blood vessel. Signs of a stroke include facial drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulties, and time to call for help. Symptoms include headache, nausea, numbness, weakness, and paralysis. If someone is having a stroke, call an ambulance immediately and follow first aid procedures until help arrives.

Common symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling, and coughing. Medications help decrease cardiac workload and fluid retention. Community paramedics help with medication compliance by identifying reasons for non-compliance and providing education. They monitor for signs of acute heart failure like sudden fluid buildup or rapid heartbeat. Proper medical care of CHF can improve symptoms, though lifestyle changes and lifelong treatment are usually needed.
neurological disoder and sign symptoms causes
The document discusses neurological disorders and provides details about cerebrovascular accidents (strokes). It describes the blood supply to the brain from arteries like the internal carotid and vertebral arteries. There are two main types of strokes - ischemic caused by blockage and hemorrhagic caused by bleeding. Symptoms can include weakness, difficulty speaking, and vision issues. Diagnosis involves scans and tests of the blood. Treatment depends on the type but may include clot-busting drugs or surgery. Lifestyle changes can help prevent strokes by maintaining healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Heart murmurs: what you need to know
There are two main types of heart murmurs: innocent murmurs and abnormal murmurs. Innocent murmurs are common in children and caused by rapid heart development, exercise, or pregnancy. They often disappear over time. Abnormal murmurs can be congenital or develop later in life due to conditions like heart valve abnormalities, septal defects, rheumatic fever, or infections. Symptoms of abnormal murmurs may include shortness of breath, swelling, or fainting. If you think you have a murmur, see a doctor who can listen to your heart sounds and determine the type and severity using specialized diagnostic software.
