Causes of heart failure

The main causes of heart failure are the following pathological conditions of the cardiovascular system:

• heart valve diseases;
• increased pressure - leads to overwork of the myocardium and stretching of its chambers;
• dilated cardiomyopathy - with this pathology, the heart wall is stretched without thickening, which leads to the fact that the release of blood into the arteries is halved;
• narrowing of the aortic mouth - leads to accumulation of blood in the left ventricle, which increases pressure and leads to its stretching, while the myocardium relaxes;
• IHD, myocardial infarction - lead to disruption of the blood supply to the heart;
• myocarditis – leads to impaired contractility and conduction of the heart muscle, stretching of its walls;
• arrhythmias – the process of filling the myocardium with blood is disrupted;
• pericarditis - creates obstacles to filling the ventricles and atria with blood;
• hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - leads to a decrease in internal volume and thickening of the walls of the ventricles.

All of the above pathologies disrupt the functioning of the myocardium , weaken it, which leads to the launch of compensation mechanisms. This gives an effect for a short time, but then the body’s reserve capacity comes to an end and the development of heart failure accelerates.

Non-cardiac causes of the disease include:

• the patient suffered a severe stroke;
• bronchial asthma;
• alcohol abuse;
• incorrectly selected treatment for cardiovascular diseases or self-medication;
• poisoning with bacterial toxins that disrupt myocardial activity.

Risk factors that can trigger the development of heart failure include:

• unhealthy diet leading to the development of obesity;
• bad habits;
• diseases of the thyroid gland and pituitary gland, in which an increase in pressure is observed;
• diabetes;
• long-term use of certain medications (calcium antagonists, glucocorticosteroids, antidepressants, antitumor drugs and a number of others).

Treatment of heart failure (classical medicine)

First of all, treatment is carried out for the underlying disease that led to the development of heart failure (coronary artery disease, myocarditis, hypertension, rheumatism and others).

Complete rest and bed rest are prescribed only to patients with severe acute heart failure.

An important role in the treatment of heart failure is played by the normalization of the patient's diet . Food should be dietary, easily digestible, and you should eat fractionally (often, but in small portions).

The diet should include foods rich in fiber, fresh fruits and vegetables. But the amount of salt and liquid consumed must be limited. In addition, alcohol, caffeine-containing drinks, fatty, fried, smoked, spicy, and pickled foods are prohibited.

In case of severe heart failure, symptomatic pharmacotherapy is carried out. If pulmonary edema or cardiac asthma develops, the patient must be urgently hospitalized.
