Heart Diseases :
The heart is the motor that keeps the blood in motion throughout all the blood vessels in the body. In order, for the heart muscle to pump properly, it needs to be nourished by coronary blood vessels. Any disease or blockage of the coronary arteries can deprive the heart musclewith the necessary oxygen and blood it needs for proper function.
A heart attack, medically known as myocardial infarction, is the death of an area of heart musclecaused by the blockage of a coronary vessel. This obstruction of blood flow through one of thebranches of the coronary artery is commonly caused by a rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque. Blood flow may be so severely diminished, or totally occluded that a portion of the heart muscle dies.
The most typical symptom of a heart attack is chest pain (angina pectoris) that may radiate to the left arm, neck, and jaw. Other symptoms may include shortness of breath, heat in the chest, anxiety, light headedness, or loss of consciousness.
The major risks factors for a heart attack are diabetes, lack of exercise, high blood pressure, sedentarylifestyle, old age, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, smoking, a high-sodium diet, and genetic predisposition.
There are five tests that can detect a heart attack :
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Coronary Angiography
- Exercise Stress Test
- Nuclear Scan
- Blood Test
The homeopathic goal is to lower high blood pressure and cholesterol to desired levels to prevent a heart attack.
