The heart is an organ that is essential for humans, because the heart needs to pump blood around the body so the body get oxygen and nutrients needed for metabolism. Therefore, the heart needs to be maintained to perform its function properly. One that needs to be avoided is coronary heart disease which is one of the dangerous disease that can cause heart attacks. To do so, we need to know how to keep our heart healthy, what to avoid and what can be done to maintain heart health.

The most common disease is a chronic disease in the coronary artery is called atherosclerosis. Therefore, heart disease commonly known and most common is coronary heart disease or coronary artery disease. The disease is most often causes a heart attack in someone who can cause death. The cause is narrowing of the coronary arteries, where the vessel serves to provide blood to the heart muscle. The narrowing is caused by a pile of cholesterol or other proteins derived from food intake in the body. This buildup causes the coronary arteries become stiff. Rigidity is referred to as atherosclerosis.
 

Atherosclerosis occurs if there is build up of plaque or fatty deposits in artery walls. Over time, plaque can accumulate, harden and narrow the arteries, and inhibit blood flow to the heart. Coronary artery disease or coronary artery disease (CAD) is that basically leads to most heart attacks.
 

Blockage in one or more coronary arteries can cause heart attack suddenly. The reason for the heart to ask exceeds the available oxygen so that trigger heart attacks. Why? If the heart muscle does not receive oxygen for a long time, the surrounding tissue can be damaged. Unlike other tissues, the heart muscle does not regenerate. The longer the attack, the more damage to the heart and the more likely die.
 

Even in the arteries that are not too narrow because timbungan plaque and fat, accumulation of plaque can rupture and form a crust of blood or thrombus. In addition, the diseased arteries also tend to experience sudden muscle contractions. Thus, a piece of crust of blood can form a contraction, releasing chemicals which then result in narrowing the artery wall, triggering a heart attack.
 

If the working system of the heart is damaged, the normal heart rhythm can become chaotic and the heart began to tremble with uncertainty or experiencing fibrillation. This abnormal rhythm known as arrhythmia is a deviation from normal heart rhythm. This will cause the heart loses its ability to pump blood effectively to the brain. Within ten minutes, brain death and the patient was beyond help.
 

In addition to coronary heart disease due to fat deposition in the arterial wall, there are also other heart diseases caused by abnormalities at birth. For example, an imperfect heart, heart valve disorders, weakened heart muscle. Another cause is the bacteria that cause infections of the heart 


The symptoms are perceived if you have coronary heart disease include pain or pain in the chest in which most people thought it was just as indigestion. Then other symptoms of feeling depressed in the middle of the chest for 30 seconds to 5 minutes. Another thing is the cold sweat, palpitations, dizziness, and felt like fainting. These symptoms are not always perceived sufferer. Another warning sign is gasping for breath during exercise.
 

For several months before the heart attack usually people with heart disease often feel very tired. Do not assume these symptoms are caused by lack of sleep and stress of the job.
Pain or feeling of pressure in the chest, called angina, give warning to half of those who suffer a heart attack. Some people get breathless or exhausted and feeling weak as the symptoms, indicating that the heart is not getting enough oxygen due to blockage of a coronary.
Usually a few days before having a massive heart attack, a person will experience muscle contractions suddenly in the chest which is a small attack or a mild heart attack. Generally mild heart attack occur before a major attack a few days later.
Tips for Preventing Heart Disease

Stroke Disease

It is a disorder of brain function due to blood flow to the brain is impaired (reduced). As a result, nutrients and oxygen to the brain dbutuhkan not fulfilled properly. Causes of stroke There are 2 kinds, namely the existence of blockages in blood vessels (thrombus), and the presence of a ruptured blood vessel.
 
Generally a stroke suffered by the elderly, because of the aging process causes the hardening and narrowing of blood vessels (arteriosclerosis) and the presence of fats that clog arteries (atherosclerosis). But several recent cases show an increase of cases of stroke that occur during adolescence and childbearing age (15-40 years). In this group, a major cause of stroke is a stress, drug abuse, alcohol, heredity, and an unhealthy lifestyle.

Causes of Stroke


In the case of stroke adolescence, genetic factors (heredity) is the major cause of stroke. Frequently encountered cases of stroke caused by blood vessel is fragile and easily broken, or blood system disorders such as hemophilia and thalassemia disease are inherited by the parent of the patient. Meanwhile, if a family member with diabetes (diabetes), hypertension (high blood pressure), and heart disease, stroke likely become greater in the other family members.
 
Other causes of stroke are foods with high levels of bad cholesterol (Low Density Lipoprotein) is very high. Koleserol this evil there is a lot on junk food, or fast food. In addition, other causes of stroke is a lazy habit of exercise and movement, a lot of drinking alcohol, smoking, use of narcotic and addictive substances, much less rest time, and prolonged stress. Rupture of blood vessels are also often caused by disease of high blood pressure (hypertension).

Symptoms of Stroke Occurrence

Early symptoms of stroke usually dizziness, head seemed to spin (like vertigo disease), then followed with a speech impairment and mouth muscles move. Other symptoms are tergangguanya taste sensor (can not feel anything, such as pinched or pricked needles) and the body feels paralyzed side, and with no reflex movement. Often also occur suddenly blind or blurred vision (due to blood supply and oxygen to the eye is greatly reduced), disturbance of taste in the mouth system and the muscles of the mouth (so often encountered people with a wry face), paralysis of the muscles of the body, and disruption system memory and emotion. Often some people can not stop crying because of the paralysis of the brain controls the emotions system. It makes people act like a stroke patient psychiatric illness, but it's not. Things like this that need to be understood by the patient's family.

Treatment Process

There are 2 main treatment process that must be patient. The first is treatment with drugs in the hospital. Strict control must be done to keep the levels of bad cholesterol can be lowered and did not grow up. In addition, patients are also prohibited from eating foods that can trigger a stroke like junk food and salt (which can trigger hypertension).

Both are fisiotherapy, which exercises the muscles to restore muscle function and communication function for close to its original state. Fisiotherapi conducted jointly fisiotherapi instructors, and patients must abide by the exercise done. If this fisiotherapi not be taking seriously, it can occur in permanent paralysis of the limbs that have suffered paralysis.



Healing in patients with stroke are very varied. There can be cured completely (100%), some are just 50% only. This recovery depends on whether or not severe stroke, the body condition of patient, patient compliance in undergoing the process of healing, perseverance and spirit of the patient to recover, as well as support and understanding from all family members of patients. Often found that stroke patients can recover, but suffered severe depression because their families do not want to understand and feel very disturbed with the disease (such as patient attitude does not accept the situation, the harsh treatment because patients have to clean dirt, handing the patient to the nurse who also treats patients with a rough, and so on). This should be avoided if a family member who suffers a stroke.
