I suspect that I have heart failure, how can I tell if it is heart failure?

To determine the severity of heart failure, the most commonly used tests include:1Cardiac ultrasound can observe the shape of the heart and the degree of valvular regurgitation.

Natriuretic peptide, which is a specific indicator of the degree of heart failure. 3.Based on the patient's objective physical examination results, the comprehensive judgment is made.

Heart failure is incurable, and it is not easy to control progression.

Heart failure is not an independent cardiovascular disease, it is a clinical syndrome, so a variety of cardiovascular diseases can manifest as heart failure in the later stage.

Then heart failure, including acute heart failure and chronic heart failure, is also divided into left heart failure, right heart failure, and total heart failure, then left heart failure mainly causes pulmonary congestion, the common symptoms of patients are exertional dyspnea, paroxysmal dyspnea at night, orthopnea, cough, sputum production, decreased urine output, fatigue, decreased activity tolerance, and even hemoptysis, right heart insufficiency, the main symptoms are digestive symptoms, such as loss of appetite, nausea and bloating, in addition, Patients may also have edema of the lower limbs.

Problem description: RT parsing:

Heart failure, referred to as heart failure, refers to the symptoms of cardiac circulatory failure caused by reduced cardiac output and or inability to fully discharge venous blood return to the heart, resulting in obstruction of venous return, resulting in venous system stasis and insufficient blood perfusion of the arterial system.

Clinical manifestations: Acute left ventricular heart failure manifested as shortness of breath, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea and cyanosis, cough, pink foamy bloody sputum, etc. Patients have heart disease caused by hypertension, coronary heart disease, or aortic regurgitation.

The main symptoms of right-sided heart failure are nausea and vomiting, oliguria, decreased appetite, abdominal distension, and liver pain. Patients may have heart disease caused by cor pulmonale, mitral stenosis, etc.

Family Emergency Treatment:

1.Bed rest, a high-calorie, low-salt, multivitamin diet, and strict water restriction.

2.In the case of left heart failure, the lower limbs are lowered or semi-recumbent, and the limbs can also be ligated in turn to reduce the amount of blood returning to the heart, reduce the load on the heart, and send them to the hospital for emergency treatment.

3.In the case of right heart failure, dihydrogramithia 25 50 mg or paraparalytic paralytic sutong 20 mg can be taken orally, 3 times a day, and vasodilators such as mercaptoprolic acid or prazosin hydrochloride can be added if necessary.

4.Evacuate to the hospital for further treatment as soon as possible.

Heart failure is a group of syndromes caused by various structural or functional diseases of the heart that lead to impaired ventricular filling and/or ejection capacity. Due to the decrease of ventricular systolic function and impaired ejection function, the cardiac output can not meet the needs of the body's metabolism, the blood perfusion of organs and tissues is insufficient, and the pulmonary circulation and/or systemic circulation congestion occurs, and the clinical manifestations are mainly dyspnea and weakness resulting in limited physical activity and edema. In some cases, myocardial contractility can maintain normal ejection function, but due to myocardial diastolic dysfunction, the left ventricular filling pressure is abnormally high, which obstructs pulmonary venous return, resulting in pulmonary congestion.

The latter is common in coronary heart disease and hypertensive heart disease, early stage of cardiac insufficiency, or primary hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, etc., which is called diastolic heart failure. Cardiac insufficiency or cardiac dysfunction is theoretically a broader concept, and clinically symptomatic cardiac insufficiency is called heart failure, while cardiac insufficiency is not necessarily all heart failure.

Simply put, it is heart congestion and ejection disorders. It is a progressive disease.

Heart failure is the abbreviation of heart failure, which refers to a group of clinical syndromes caused by abnormal heart structure or function, which leads to impaired heart function, and the heart can no longer pump enough blood to the body's organs and tissues. It takes a long time for heart failure to occur and develop, and the symptoms are not obvious at first, and only gradually attract the attention of patients with time and the worsening of symptoms.

Heart failure, like other diseases, will also have a degree of differentiation, according to the classification of cardiac function can roughly reflect the severity of the disease, the current general is the New York College of Cardiology (NYHA) proposed by the protocol, the higher the grade, the more severe the degree of heart failure. The grading scheme is as follows: Grade:

Unrestricted activity, daily activities do not cause significant shortness of breath, fatigue, or palpitations; Grade: mildly limited physical activity, asymptomatic at rest, symptoms can be caused by daily activities; Grade: Significant limitation of physical activity, asymptomatic at rest, milder than daily activities can cause the above symptoms; Level:

There are also symptoms at rest, which are aggravated by the slightest physical activity, and any physical activity can cause discomfort.

In addition to judging the severity of heart failure according to the conscious activity ability introduced above, sometimes a 6-minute walk test is also required, which is judged according to the patient's 6-minute walking distance: less than 150 meters is severe heart failure; 150 450 m for moderate heart failure; More than 450 meters is mild heart failure.

The severity of heart failure symptoms is clearly related to the survival rate, and it also plays a great role in the selection of ** measures, the determination of labor ability, and the judgment of prognosis. Due to the greater harm of heart failure, timely progress** is the top priority.

Is heart failure that scary? Actually, it's not, but it's terrible not to go, after all, heart failure can take people's lives.

How about heart failure**?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that heart failure is mainly due to the deficiency of heart, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and qi, which leads to the stagnation of water and dampness in the water metabolism of the whole body, and the congestion that occurs on this basis, so its pathogenesis is the deficiency of qi and blood, yin and yang, causing water to drink phlegm and dampness, and stagnation of blood congestion.

1. It is good for temperature and yang, blood circulation and water.

Long-term Chinese medicine can not only improve the symptoms of patients, but also improve the prognosis of patients.

2. Control the patient's symptoms.

To alleviate the patient's symptoms, the common methods are cardiotonics, diuresis, and vasodilation, as long as these aspects are done well, the patient's symptoms may be controlled in a short time.

3. Improve the long-term prognosis of patients.

Patients must follow the doctor's instructions, listen to the doctor's instructions, take medicine on time, review regularly, and adjust medication, so that the prognosis of heart failure is still very good.

There are a large number of clinical cases that prove that adding traditional Chinese medicine on the basis of standardized Western medicine can significantly improve the efficacy and reduce the quality of Western medicine.
