Heart Care and Treatment

Your heart lies at the center of your body for a reason. It is the organ that works as the power supply for all other functions of the body.

A healthy, normal functioning heart pumps oxygenated blood to other parts of your body while pulling used blood back for cleaning. Your heart’s operation helps you stay in shape.

A healthy heart is critical to prevent damage to your organs. You may have felt the sensation of needles being pushed into your hand or foot if blood circulation is stopped to that part.

If blood is cut off from any organ for an extended period of time, it slowly degenerates and could die without oxygen supply.

The Body Generator

Think of your body as a small city with your heart being the power supply station. The vascular system acts as the power lines that run around town to supply electricity or blood to each part.

The brain is like the mayor’s office that control’s decisions.

While it is possible for a city to function without a mayor, a cut in power supply can quickly bring operations to an end. The same is true with human body.

While people can live in a coma where the brain stops working, a person cannot survive for long in case of a heart stroke.

Your heart actually creates pulses, similar to electricity, supplying energy and oxygen to everything.

Heart Health is Important

An unhealthy lifestyle, age, accidents or other medical disorders can cause damage to your heart. The heart lies in your left chest under the rib cage.

If you feel any pain, pinches or unfamiliar sensations in your chest you should consult a physician. While it is possible that the pain is caused by a different disorder, you should always make sure to get it checked by a heart specialist as well, just to be safe.

Heart problems are more common in older people or those with obesity issues. We have also seen problems in young adults and even children that are born with heart defects.

Most heart problems develop either due to problems in the heart or the vascular system. The vascular system consists of veins and arteries that take blood back and forth from the heart to other organs and tissues.

Some of the common heart problems include the following.

Coronary Artery Disease: This problem occurs due to a blockage in the arteries.
Silent Ischemia: This occurs when blood flow is reduced to the heart but the patient does not feel any pain.
Angina: It is a type of discomfort that happens when your heart is not getting enough oxygen and nutrients to function.
Heart Failure: This is one of the more dangerous and potentially fatal conditions. The problem develops and worsens over time. If ignored, it can cause a severe stroke that leads to the patient’s death.

In order to ensure heart health, you should get in touch with a good heart care practice sooner rather than later.
