My dad has a bad heart, why is there edema?

This edema is called cardiogenic edema and is a manifestation of right-sided heart failure. Because the heart function is not good, the veins in the body are congested. The heart is the power of the body's whole body blood circulation (the venous blood of the whole body has to flow back to the heart and then replenish oxygen through the lungs), the soles of the feet are most affected by gravity due to the height difference from the heart, and the flow back to the heart requires a lot of work, understood as the height of the heart is on the 10th floor, and the soles of the feet are the lowest first floor, think of the blood as something you want to move, you now have to carry things to the 10th floor, but the strength is not enough (because of heart failure), you can't carry it, so you throw things away, and the upper floors also have to be carried. But it's not that tired, so I'll carry it first, and the lower the bottom, the more I can't carry ......itTherefore, the characteristics of this edema are that it first appears in the sagging part of the body, it will be more obvious after walking activities, and it will be reduced or disappeared after resting, and the face is generally not swollen, and there may be jugular venous distension (which is commonly known as the "green tendon burst" of the neck) and hepatomegaly, pleural effusion, ascites, etc.

This type of asthma is called cardiogenic asthma, and it is also caused by congestion in the lungs caused by poor heart function, which makes it difficult to breathe.

Right heart failure can cause edema, and your dad's asthma can also be cardiogenic, causing left heart failure.

It's heart failure that causes pulmonary edema, and like my grandfather, I dare to go to the hospital for a check-up, don't delay.

Heart failure. Hurry up to the hospital to have a look, do a B ultrasound, take a chest X-ray, and draw blood to diagnose.

Edema is the excess of fluid in the body, which is commonly referred to as edema. Then edema can occur in many parts of the body, such as the face, eyelids, lower limbs, lumbosacral region, etc. The causes of edema are very complex, and in addition to heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, malnutrition, thyroid disease, vascular disease, etc. are all common causes of edema.

The main cause of heart disease edema is heart failure, and the general characteristics of this type of edema include:1Concaveability.

Edema caused by heart disease can be depressed when pressed, but it is more rigid than edema caused by liver and kidney disease. 2.It first appears in the lower extremities.

Normally, the lower extremities are the lowest part, so edema caused by heart disease generally starts in the feet and gradually progresses upwards. But for people who have been bedridden for a long time, the lower back is the lowest part, so edema in these people will appear first in the lower back. The edema that begins on the eyelids and face is often not caused by heart disease.

3.Related to the event. The edema caused by heart disease is usually worse after exertion or physical activity, but it is also more noticeable in the evening, and often lessens or even subsides after a night of rest.

But when heart disease is severe, it cannot be relieved by rest. 4.Symmetry appears.

Edema that occurs only in one leg is rarely associated with heart disease. 5.Other manifestations associated with heart disease.

Analysis:

Hello, people with heart disease, edema is generally more common in the case of right heart failure.

Guidance: Therefore, it is necessary to sit up from the correction of right heart failure, as long as the right heart failure is corrected, the edema will disappear naturally.
