Tips to Prevent Heart Disease

Tips to Prevent Heart Disease


After we know the impact that will arise as a result of a heart attack, we'd better start loving heart early on, and attention to lifestyle. There are some things we can do to prevent heart disease.

Healthy Eating

As mentioned earlier, one of the heart disease causes are fats that clog arteries. Fatty foods can lead to a person suffer heart disease at a young age. Therefore, avoid foods that contain high cholesterol. There are some foods that contain high cholesterol, such as seafood, fast food, and others. Seafood contains high cholesterol so it is dangerous for heart health, you may consume it, but not in large quantities and not in a long time, you can consume it every two weeks. Greasy food is not good for heart health, you can replace the high oil cholesterol olive oil, this is the secret of the Arab people, they are very rarely suffering a heart attack because of the oil they use is very healthy and low in cholesterol. Or you can prepare food with boiled, steamed or baked.
Olive Oil
 

Moreover, for lovers of dairy foods, you should be more careful with processed foods from milk, choose a product low fat or no fat.
In addition to fatty foods, foods with high sugar levels are also not healthy for your heart, soft drinks are high sugar beverages. You are also prohibited from consuming large amounts of carbohydrates, carbohydrates are broken down into fat in the body. This is also the secret of Muhammad, for breakfast, you can just drinking a glass of water mixed with honey, if you can, eat 7 grains of dates around 09.00 am, because a lot of benefits for our health and can neutralize toxins. During the afternoon, you can eat bread, rice or other coupled with olive oil and vinegar. In addition, you can also eat oat or wheat in order to stay healthy heart. Keep it ideal weight, people who have a waist circumference greater than 80 cm greater risk of heart disease.

Stop smoking

Cigarette smoke contains many toxins, and cause the oxygen in body becomes polluted. Stop smoking so that we stay healthy heart.

Avoid Stress

Stress can be triggered by an unusually busy without being accompanied by a break or vacation. When you are stressed, your body will release the hormone cortisol, which causes blood vessels to clot. Hormone norepinephrine to produce the body when suffering from stress, which may increase blood pressure.

Hypertension

High blood pressure can lead to heart disease, high blood pressure can cause the artery walls to injury, resulting in LDL cholesterol into the arterial line and causes the accumulation of fat. 

Obesity 

As already described, circle the waist to show the risk of heart disease, when you are obese, it resulted in high blood pressure and abnormal fat. Coronary heart disease is closely related to diabetes, a person with diabetes will more rapidly develop coronary heart disease and eventually heart attack.

Exercise regularly

There are many options you can do exercise, such as walking, brisk walking or jogging. Regular exercise will make your heart muscle stronger.

Consumption of Antioxidants

You should consume antioxidants. antioxidants can be obtained from a variety of fruits and vegetables.

Descendants

If you have a relative with a history of heart disease, then you should pay attention to a healthy lifestyle early on.

Heart Disease Symptoms and First Aid

Symptoms of Heart Disease 

Once we understand with heart disease, now we have to recognize the symptoms that arise as a result of heart disease. The initial symptoms usually arise include: chest pain, shortness of breath, or palpitations. You can predict whether you have heart disease or not, the food and drinks are very influential to the possibility of heart disease. When you experience some of the above symptoms, stop all activity, and sit or lie down, take a deep breath.


First Aid for Heart Disease

First Aid


Maybe you are having any of these symptoms, you should be careful if you're alone, you should contact nearest people if symptoms of heart disease occurred during a few minutes. Most likely you're having a heart attack. For first aid, you should make your body position to be as comfortable as possible, loosen the belt, open a few buttons, set respiratory, off your tie, and you should remain calm. If you have coronary heart disease includes pain or pain in the chest. Not all of the symptoms that occur when someone suffers a heart attack,

There are still a lot of symptoms that can arise from a person suffering from a heart attack. Typically, a person will feel very weak before getting a heart attack, it will be several months before the patient is suffering a heart attack. In addition, some people will also experience fatigue, shortness of breath and weak, indicating that the heart is not getting enough oxygen due to coronary blockage.


Before a massive heart attack occurs, the heart contractions are seen suddenly. It is small and light attack before the person is getting a massive heart attack.
 

Heart Disease Cause

Heart attack is one of the deadly disease, anyone can develop this disease. Based on existing data, every year there are millions of people having a heart attack. This disease will usually result in death, but not all patients who end in death. This disease causes a person to be easily attacked by various kinds of other diseases, heart disease is an ongoing illness. The continuing impact of the heart attack causes a person to be susceptible to chronic diseases and dangerous.

Heart Attack 


Before we discuss more about heart disease, we will discuss a bit about heart.

Heart


Heart has a very important function for our body, a person can live without eyes, ears, hands, feet or other organs. However, man cannot live without a heart, although experts continue to find a replacement heart. The heart works to pump blood throughout the body. The heart consists of muscles that continue to work to pump blood. When someone is having a heart attack then there is a part of the heart muscle is not functioning properly, a heart attack (myocardial infarction), part of the heart muscle to die when deprived of blood. To stay healthy, the heart needs oxygen and other nutrients carried by the blood. Oxygen and nutrients are healthy for the heart obtained through the arteries (blood vessels) coronary, which wrap around the outside of the heart.

Heart Disease

There are many parts of the heart that may have been affected, almost all parts of the heart can be attacked by diseases. However, it is generally a disease that often affects the human heart is atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease of the coronary arteries. This disease most often causes a person having a heart attack. Coronary heart disease is a heart disease that occurs commonly in the patients with cardiovascular disease. If a heart disease, it is likely that the person is suffering from coronary artery disease.

A heart attack can cause death. The main cause of heart attack is the narrowing of the blood vessels caused by a pile of cholesterol or protein in the coronary arteries. Cholesterol comes from the food we eat, therefore we must pay attention to the food that enters the body, not to the accumulation of cholesterol continuously. If the buildup of cholesterol occurs continuously, it can lead to coronary artery becomes stiff, atherosclerosis.

A heart attack is usually caused by a buildup of fat in the walls of the arteries that lead to the flow of blood to the heart becomes blocked. Heart attacks can occur suddenly, this is caused by a blockage of one or more coronary arteries. When an artery blockage occurs, the heart is deprived of oxygen, the oxygen that goes to the heart is insufficient oxygen demand of the heart, which can trigger a heart attack. Tissue around the damaged heart muscle can not get the stock oxygen continuously for a long time.

Worse, cardiac muscle never experienced renewal or regeneration of cells. This further aggravate the situation, when the heart muscle is damaged down in a long time, had minor damage that would be fatal, and the heart can be damaged severely. A person will usually experience death from a heart attack due to heart muscle damage is severe enough.


Plaque or fat that accumulates can cause a lot of disturbance in the arteries, as fat deposits will be formed crust ruptured blood or thrombus. Stockpiles can be broken even if fat causes a less severe narrowing. If the artery becomes blocked, a meal will result in our diseased arteries and can lead to sudden muscle contractions.

  When the heart is impaired, the heart rhythm will be irregular. The heart will vibrate is erratic, or experiencing heart fibrillation. Irregularities in heart rhythm or arrhythmia will result in our heart can not pump blood effectively throughout the body and to the brain. If the blood does not flow to the brain for 10 minutes, then the patient will die.

Heart disease can also be caused by abnormalities from birth, eg, imperfect heart, weak heart muscle, and heart valve abnormalities. In addition, the bacteria can also cause heart infections.

Electrical System in Heart

Electrical System


Heart is a muscle, and like any other muscle, while getting the flow of electrical impulses, the heart muscle to contract (shorten). When the heart muscle contracts, would cause blood in it pumped through the lines contained in heart.

Two of the main body electrolyte involved in the process of electrical impulses in the heart are sodium and potassium. In addition to the two main electrolytes, there are other electrolytes which also helps in creating an electric potential difference is that calcium and magnesium, but the main role remains the property of sodium and potassium.

Electrical System in Heart


Potassium is usually abundant in the cell, and there are a lot of sodium outside the cell. Through several specific mechanisms, potassium slowly going out to the outside of the cell and sodium then enter the cell. This creates an electrical potential different from the growing to the point of discharge electrical impulses.



Electrical System in Heart

  Electrolyte exchange occurs across specialized cells in the heart, making a different electrical potential on both sides of the cell. When the electrical potential reaches a certain threshold, this potential will be released and will be delivered through other unique cells present in the heart, and cause contraction of the heart muscles.

Set some specific cells that regulate the heart rate is called the sinoatrial node or SA node. SA node is the natural pacemaker located in the upper right atrium near the entrance of the superior vena cava.

When the SA node sends electrical signals, electrical signals will be with immediate effect and cause the atria to contract atrium. The electrical signal then goes to a set of cells called Atrioventricular node, or AV node. From the AV node the electrical impulse will then spread to the bundle of His to be branched to the right and left heart. After that the electrical impulse will spread through the ventricles via the Purkinje fibers. All this together will cause the atria to contract, then the ventricles contract thereafter.

Atrial contraction that began earlier than the ventricles is very important to our lives. This will cause the atria pump blood continues to flow forward through the track to the ventricles and together with heart valve closing mechanism, preventing the blood from the ventricle back into the atrium.

Anatomy, Blood Circulation and How Heart Works

How Heart Works 

In this article we will share information about heart, how to work, anatomy, and so forth. The heart is simply a pump that consists of two parts, the mechanical and the other is electrical parts. Both parts are interrelated, since the mechanical function of the heart itself is governed by the electrical system in the heart. The electrical system can actually be influenced by neurotransmitters of the brain (or artificial pacemaker). But since we are only talking about the heart of today, we will only focus on the ability of the system to the heart.


 Heart Anatomy

 
The heart is a pump that has four chambers. Two booths are located in the so-called Atrium, and the two below are called ventricles. The heart can also be divided into two parts, namely the right of the charge pump blood to the lungs, and the left in charge of pumping blood throughout the human body. Atria and ventricles will each be separated by a valve, while the right and left heart will be separated by a partition called the septum. Heart valve function, especially the blood that has been pumped back did not get into it again.


Heart Anatomy


Blood Circulation in Heart


The road begins in blood through heart the superior vena cava. Then the blood enters the right atrium, flows through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. From there the blood travels through the pulmonic valve went into the pulmonary artery, and then enters the lungs. After doing blood gas exchange in the lungs, blood returning to the heart through the pulmonary vein and into the left atrium. Blood then flows through the mitral valve into the left ventricle which is the most powerful heart chambers. From there, the blood is pumped through the aortic valve and into the aorta and out into the rest of the body.
