Poor Sleeping Related To Heart Disease
Heart disease can be detected if the patient has chest pain and breathing difficulty. Researchers have found another sign, the desire to go to bed early and these patients have poor sleeping due to tossing and turning in bed. Other signs are severe headaches, fatigue, and vision problems, among others. Additional information click here.
New Research In Hypertension Treatment Looks Promising
There is interesting research on hypertension treatments. Most of them are still on trial but promise a great future. Among them is the control of the carotid bodies, two receptors that act as the blood gateway to the brain, via receptor blockers or electrical stimulation. Other is a by-pass between a vein and artery in the upper thigh, reducing the blood pressure in the artery. More info click here.
Identifying The Symptoms Of Kidney Disease
Among These Are Insomnia, High Blood Pressure, Fluid Retention, And Severe Back Pain
Kidneys work as the body’s filters and remove impurities in the blood in order to prevent toxins from damaging the body. Healthy kidneys eliminate from 1 to 2 liters of urine every 24 hours. However kidneys may begin to malfunction, and unfortunately, it's symptoms are not always recognized, because these are few in the early stage. Among these are a lack of energy, weakness, reduced cognition, poor appetite, and insomnia. There are also other symptoms, such as high blood pressure, and fluid retention. The most obvious symptoms are blood in the urine, painful, dark and foul-smelling urination, and severe lower back pain. Click here for more details.
Heart Valve Replacement Complications Can Decrease With 3-D Printed Models
This Will Reduce The Risk Of Heart Infection And Failure
There are cases in which the aortic valve, the valve between the left ventricle and the aorta, is impaired. This is treated via a minimally invasive procedure which inserts a prosthetic valve through a catheter, replacing the damaged valve. This avoids the risk of open-heart surgery. However, sometimes the blood leaks around the valve because there is not a precise fit, leading to heart infection and failure. To reduce this risk, doctors are using now 3-D printed valve models using several materials. Click here for more information.
Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea Linked To A Higher Risk Of Heart Attack, Angina, And Diabetes
It Is Also Related To Obesity And Hypertension
Obstructive sleep apnea, also called OSA, is a condition that occurs at night when sleeping, therefore it is difficult to detect. The breathing is interrupted for several seconds. A partner can complain about the snoring, but detecting the interruptions in breathing can be challenging. According to a study, most people have OSA at some point in their lives, but only 15% have severe OSA. The symptoms are fatigue and daytime sleepiness, but the individuals consider that these conditions have other causes. The same study evaluated what other health conditions had persons with severe OSA, and found a correlation with high blood pressure, an increased risk of heart attack, angina, and diabetes. Also, the degree of hypertension and obesity depended on the severity of apnea. More Information click here.
Software Based On Artificial Intelligence Can Predict Mortality In Heart Disease Patients
An artificial intelligence software can predict mortality in patients with a serious heart disorder, and can also help doctors prescribe better treatments for patients with pulmonary hypertension. It creates a 3D model of patients with heart conditions and compares it with the health records of other patients to make a forecast. Click here for more info.
Proteins Help Reducing Blood Pressure And Improving Sleep
Proteins are the building blocks of the body, responsible for building tissues and organs, and other components such as hormones and enzymes. Other benefits are reducing the blood pressure, because of the high content of amino acids in proteins. They also reduce the risk of osteoporosis and improve sleep, among others.
