Cardiology

 

Cardiology - a branch of medicine dealing with the study of the cardiovascular system of the person: the structure and development of the heart and blood vessels, their functions and diseases, including the study of their causes, mechanisms of development, clinical manifestations, diagnostics, and the development of effective treatments and prevention . Cardiology studying pathological conditions such as coronary heart disease (CHD), hypertension, congenital heart disease, valvular heart disease, cerebrovascular (cerebrovascular accidents) and other diseases. Today, the proportion of cardiac pathology in the structure of mortality in developed countries is 40-60%, with continued growth in the incidence and spread of disease among all younger makes heart disease the most important medical and social problem.

 

Heart disease occur for different reasons. In one case, it may be a congenital heart disease in the other - inflammation (myocarditis), the third disease progression vsledstvienarusheny exchange of certain substances (fats - cholesterol, triglycerides, etc.), Transportation processes and assimilation of zheholesterina in the body.

 

For the prevention of cardiovascular diseases do not need to go to any of the most severe constraints. Enough not to abuse alcohol, quit smoking and watch their weight. Sedentary lifestyle coupled with chronic stress and wrong, burdened by so-called "bad" fats, food provoke various cardiovascular diseases even at a young age. In addition, the important role played by sound sleep. For full human heart is very important to sleep at least 8 hours a day, especially for those who already have problems with the cardiovascular system.

 

A cardiologist should be handled at the slightest sign of heart or vascular diseases, as a common feature of almost all cardiovascular disease is the progressive nature of the disease. Therefore, preventive visits to the cardiologist with the mandatory study of ECG needed at least once a year.

 

Electrocardiography is the initial diagnostic method, in which you can detect heart rhythm abnormalities, identify areas of expansion of individual sections of the heart.

 

Holterovskoemonitorirovanie - a method by which the daily supervision of the work of the heart. It uses wearable portable recorder, which produces around the clock ECG recording and transmitting information about the work of the heart into the computer. Special Program provides identification and analysis of all types of heart rhythm disturbances, pain and painless myocardial ischemia attacks. This method not only allows accurate diagnosis, but also greatly enhance the effectiveness of the treatment of cardiovascular diseases (hypertension, heart attack, atherosclerosis, myocarditis).

 

 

US heart diagnostics - key method for estimating the size of blood vessels and heart cavities, the thickness of the heart wall - infarction state partitions and valve apparatus, which allows to identify congenital and acquired defects, cardiomyopathy, myocardial hypertrophy, the zone asynergia non-simultaneous reduction of various segments), accumulation of fluid in the heart bag changes in valves. Postoyannovolnovaya Doppler is used to assess the degree of stenosis (narrowing), the calculation of the pressure gradient on valves and septa defect. The calculation of hemodynamic parameters according to the pulse Doppler provides information on the status of the pumping function of the heart. Color Doppler mapping is used to identify the regurgitant flow (possibility of the return of blood flow), estimating the depth of penetration and direction.

 

The use of modern methods of laboratory diagnosis to evaluate the risk of developing coronary artery disease, heart failure, blood clots conduct objective control of the effectiveness of the treatment.
