Cardiological
ailments, sadly, are a common phenomenon in today's world, especially
in urban cities. Maximum number of people suffering from cardiac
ailments are diagnosed with Cerebrovascular disease, inflammatory
heart disease, Ischemic heart disease and hypertensive heart
diseases.
Our
busy lifestyles and hectic schedules further contribute to these
numbers. There are mainly six types of cardiological diseases, along
with the ones written above, Peripheral vascular disease and
Rheumatic heart disease. Cerebrovascular disease are cardiological
diseases that affect an individual's blood circulation to the brain.
These usually involve strokes, and in worst cases they could result
in dementia. It is a common belief that inflammation causes Heart
Attacks. Inflammation is caused to the heart due to infections to the
body, external factors like polluted water or air.
The
common symptoms for these are shortness of breath, fatigue, chest
pain or swelling of hands and feet. Ischemic heart disease, also
known as Coronary artery disease has some distinguished symptoms like
chest pain, and pain in the back and arms. Very occasionally they
occur without and symptoms. Hypertensive Heart Diseases are the heart
diseases caused because of an abnormal rise in the blood pressure.
The BP rise can also result in kidney, liver or eye diseases.
Peripheral
vascular disease are the diseases that are caused by the narrowing of
the veins, barring those of heart and brain. Rheumatic heart diseases
occur as a result of damage to the heart valves after Rheumatic
fever. This is what affected 10 year old Ruhi Sharma from Bangalore.
After having strep throat for a while, the Sharma family realized
that there daughter was suffering from Rheumatic fever. Even after
she felt better, she experienced shortness of breath and additional
joint pain. Worried, Ruhi's father rung us up at Credihealth and
asked us for Cardiologists in Bangalore. After being diagnosed with
Rheumatic heart disease, Ruhi started her treatment and is now well,
and taking her daily antibiotics.
