Jenis Penyakit Jantung

Penyakit jantung merupakan pembunuh yang luar biasa, mengenali penyakit jantung menjadi sangat penting bagi kita.

Secara garis besar penyakit jantung bisa dibagi dua, yaitu penyakit jantung bawaan sejak lahir dan penyakit jantung karena kesalahan gaya hidup.

Berikut ini beberapa jenis penyakit jantung yang sering terjadi :

Penyakit arteri koroner

Sering disebut juga penyakit jantung koroner. Penyakit arteri koroner (CAD) adalah jenis yang paling umum dari penyakit jantung. Ini adalah penyebab utama kematian di Amerika Serikat pada pria dan wanita.
Penyakit arteri koroner terjadi jika arteri jantung (yang memasok darah untuk jantung) mengalami pengerasan dan penyempitan akibat penumpukan lemak atau material lain / plak.  Penumpukan lemak ini disebut aterosklerosis. Akibat penumpukan ini adalah darah yang mengalir menuju jantung menjadi berkurang.  Akibatnya, otot jantung tidak bisa mendapatkan darah atau oksigen yang dibutuhkan. Hal ini dapat menyebabkan nyeri dada (angina) atau serangan jantung.

Kebanyakan serangan jantung terjadi ketika gumpalan darah tiba-tiba memotong suplai darah ke organ jantung, menyebabkan kerusakan jantung permanen. Seiring waktu, CAD juga dapat melemahkan otot jantung dan berkontribusi terhadap gagal jantung dan aritmia.

Gagal jantung berarti jantung tidak dapat memompa baik darah ke seluruh tubuh. Aritmia adalah perubahan irama pompa jantung.

Penyumbatan dalam arteri koroner disebut penyakit-arteri koroner kondisi di mana otot-otot jantung tidak mendapatkan cukup darah dan oksigen. Efek yang paling serius dari penyakit arteri koroner adalah kematian mendadak tanpa peringatan. Hal ini biasanya terjadi pada individu yang telah mengalami serangan jantung atau kerusakan jantung lainnya.

Bagaimana proses terjadinya penyakit arteri koroner?
Penyebab utama penyakit jantung koroner adalah atherosklerosis atau pembentukan plak pada dinding arteri.

Jantung merupakan organ berotot dan berongga, dan tugas utamanya adalah memompa darah yang kaya oksigen menuju ke berbagai bagian tubuh melalui arteri-arteri, sehingga sel dan jaringan dapat menjalankan fungsi vital mereka. Darah juga kembali ke jantung melalui vena. Walaupun begitu, sebagai otot (miokardium), jantung juga memerlukan oksigen agar dapat menjalankan fungsinya.

Jika terdapat kolesterol berlebih di darah, tumpukan lemak tersebut (atheroma) mulai menyumbat arteri dengan cara menempel pada dinding pembuluh darah. Sistem kekebalan tubuh menanggapi pembentukan plak tersebut dengan melepaskan sel darah putih untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut. Karena proses ini terjadi berulang kali selama bertahun-tahun, plak terbentuk pada arteri koroner. Lalu, plak akan mempersempit pembuluh darah, mengurangi bahkan menghentikan persediaan oksigen menuju jantung.

Kadangkala, plak pecah dan membentuk gumpalan darah (trombosis), dimana akan menghalangi penghantaran oksigen menuju jantung.

Type of Heart Disease

Heart disease is a killer exceptional, recognizing heart disease is very important for us.
Broadly speaking, heart disease can be divided into two, namely heart disease and congenital heart disease because of errors lifestyle.

Here are some types of heart disease that often occurs:

Coronary artery disease

Often referred to as coronary heart disease. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease. It is the leading cause of death in the United States in both men and women.

1) Type of Heart Disease / Cardiovascular

Type of Heart Disease / Cardiovascular

Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Having an understanding of Heart Diseases / Cardiovascular become a must, so that you can recognize the sign and can prevent it.

Heart disease / cardiovascular there are many kinds. Nothing is innate, but the vast majority of heart disease / cardiovascular disease is evolving as long as you live, which later complicates your life.

Some heart disease / cardiovascular commonly encountered are:

Coronary Artery Disease /  coronary heart

Caused by clogged coronary arteries so that the heart muscle  is not getting enough blood and oxygen. The most severe effects of coronary artery disease is sudden death, without warning.

Ischemia

Occurs because blood flow to the heart muscle is reduced, due to blockage. The symptoms are pain / excruciating pain. Ischemia usually occurs when people  are doing physical activity.

1) Jenis Penyakit Jantung / Kardiovaskular

Jenis Penyakit Jantung  /  Kardiovaskular

Penyakit jantung adalah salah satu penyebab utama kematian di dunia. Memiliki pemahaman tentang  Penyakit Jantung  /  Kardiovaskular menjadi harus, supaya anda bisa  mengenali tandanya dan bisa mencegahnya.

Penyakit jantung / kardiovaskular ada banyak jenisnya. Ada yang merupakan bawaan sejak lahir, tetapi mayoritas penyakit jantung / kardiovaskular merupakan penyakit yang berkembang selama anda hidup, yang dikemudian hari mempersulit kehidupan anda.

Beberapa penyakit jantung / kardiovaskular yang umum ditemui adalah :

Coronary Artery Disease / Penyakit arteri koroner / jantung koroner

Disebabkan oleh tersumbatnya arteri koroner jantung sehingga otot – otot jantung tidak mendapatkan cukup darah dan oksigen. Efek paling parah dari penyakit arteri koroner adalah kematian mendadak, tanpa peringatan.

Iskemia

Terjadi karena aliran darah menuju otot jantung berkurang, karena adanya penyumbatan. Gejalanya adalah nyeri / sakit luar biasa. Iskemia biasanya terjadi saat penderita sedang melakukan aktivitas fisik.

Angina

Angina adalah rasa tidak nyaman / nyeri yang terjadi akibat jantung anda tidak mendapatkan asupan oksigen dan nutrisi yang cukup. Angina mungkin disebabkan oleh penyempitan pembuluh darah atau kejang otot di arteri koroner.

Kejang pada otot arteri koroner bisa dipicu oleh asap rokok, suhu dingin, emosi yang kuat, atau oleh sebab lain. Penting untuk dicatat bahwa angina bukan serangan jantung, dan biasanya tidak menyebabkan kerusakan pada jantung walaupun menyebabkan rasa sakit.

Rasa sakit angina biasanya terjadi di dada sampai ke lengan kiri, di bahu, di punggung atas, leher, tenggorokan dan rahang.

Secara tradisional, angina terjadi terutama di dada dan memancarkan ke lengan kiri. Namun, hal itu dapat menjadi ketidaknyamanan yang terpancar di dada, di bahu, di punggung atas, lengan (kiri dan kanan), leher, tenggorokan, atau rahang.

Angina bisa jadi merupakan tanda awal dari serangan jantung.

HIV, AIDS and how to prevent.

Understanding AIDS.

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is caused by the virus Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

HIV is a virus that attacks white blood cells in humans that causes damage to the human immune system.

White blood cells that attack the HIV virus a potential breeding ground for HIV virus causing new, which causes the destruction of white blood cells.

The disease process is quite long until someone is HIV positive, it took several years of the HIV virus attacks the white blood cells and damage, to loss of immunity in humans.

Due to damage to white blood cells make the human body becomes weak, because the destruction of the human immune system that ultimately are not resistant to disease. The impact, people will suffer as long as it can survive and will die over time just because of mild disease.

Until now there is no cure or vaccine that can cure the HIV virus, only the treatments and therapies that can reduce mortality and reduce the severity of HIV infection. 

How to HIV is transmitted.

Through sex.
HIV virus can be transmitted through unprotected vaginal sex, anal and oral. 
Free sex is not protected, meaning not using condoms, the top priority in the spread of HIV virus.
Vaginal sex using a condom are at high risk the possibility of infection. When compared to the transmission through anal sex, risk of infection is ten times higher because of the possibility of injury is not treated promptly.
Someone people with sexually transmitted infections are not treated promptly, in this case there are injuries or the juices of the body, has a risk of 6-10 times higher HIV virus in sexual relations.
Oral sex is low risk, but risk can be increased if there are sores around the mouth or carried in the mouth ejaculation. 

Through a syringe.
Use of contaminated needles and use of the HIV virus turns on the health care environment, or the injection of drugs in turn, potentially once in the transmission of HIV virus.
The risk of transmission could be reduced by using clean needles or syringes to perform an accurate sterilization before use. 

HIV transmission from mother to child.
HIV transmission can occur in children during the mother during pregnancy, before the time of delivery and during breastfeeding, the percentage of transmission is generally 15-30%.

Through blood transfusion.
Possible risk of HIV transmission occurring through contaminated blood transfusions was higher (90%). In this case the blood must guarantee the safety standards in service and provision of sterile blood and good quality for all patients requiring blood transfusions. Security screening of all blood with the blood that will be in transfusions to patients, to check whether the blood is contaminated with the HIV virus or other pathogens. In addition, the selection of candidates for selection of blood donors should also be considered. 

The signs of people affected by AIDS.
The best way to tell if someone is infected with HIV / AIDS or not is to do a blood test.
Or by certain signs that can indicate whether a person already infected with HIV / AIDS or at least know the symptoms .

The main signs in adults are:
1. 10% weight loss within months without a cause.
2. Diarrhea for more than a month.
3. Fever that lasts more than one month either constant or not. 

Minor signs in adults are:
1. Dry cough that does not soon recover.
2. Itchy skin all over the body.
3. Herpes is not immediately recovered.
4. Candidiasis in the mouth, tongue, or throat.
5. Swollen glands in the neck, armpit, or groin infection or without infection. 

The main sign in children is:
1. Body weight and slow growth.
2. Diarrhea for two weeks or more.
3. Fever for more than a month. 

Minor signs in children are:
1. Itchy skin all over the body.
2. Swollen glands in the neck, armpit, or groin.
3. Candidiasis in the mouth, tongue, or throat.
4. Infections of the ear, throat and other infections.
5. A cough that does not soon recover.

Keep in mind that a person infected with HIV usually do not show signs within a few years. 

Prevention themselves against HIV virus. 
- Transmission through kissing on the mouth of a very low risk, and there is no evidence that the HIV virus can be spread through saliva by kissing.
- When going to make a tattoo on the body, a tool to be used must be new and sterile. Avoid tools that have never used another person infected with HIV. The tools used through a puncture in the skin should be used once, then discarded.
- The use of a razor, like a razor blade or razor blade, must be sterilized before used. All types of injuries by using objects that are not sterilized, can transmit HIV. It is better to avoid the use of razors in turn.
- There is always a risk of transmission when having sex with an infected person HIV positive. The risk can be significantly reduced if condoms are used consistently and correctly.
- Not safe for two HIV-infected people to have sex unprotected condom, because there is the possibility of re-infection with other types of HIV.

Attention parents of the child.
The role of parents towards their children is necessary, in this case gives the sense of this frightening disease. Children will understand when in the delivery of fine words. Make your child feel comfortable dealing with parents and consider the child as a friend in the discussion, or are invited to find a way out of a family problem.
When children feel they are appreciated, surely he would feel he had a responsibility to maintain the child's own self, the environment, and the notion of dangerous diseases such as HIV / AIDS.  

Do not get rid of people infected with HIV.
Many people thought that the virus HIV / AIDS be transmitted if engaging sex to switch partners, shook hands, and live close to people infected with HIV / AIDS. This opinion has been fused in the public mind, so that people infected with HIV / AIDS do not have a community in the general population. This is what makes people
infected with HIV / AIDS is very difficult to start a new life, is very pessimistic.
It would be nice not to throw them out, they have a right to live in the neighborhood the general public.
We already know how the disease can be contagious and not a disease that is easily transmitted. Indeed we all need to know more and more detail what it is about HIV, AIDS and what it means and how we avoid contagious.

Hypertension.

Hypertension in general.

Hypertension is a condition in which a person experiences an increase in blood pressure above normal indicated by the number of systolic (upper level) and diastolic (lower level) on examination using a blood pressure monitor blood pressure gauges, and includes sphygmomanometer or other digital devices. 

The normal value a person's blood pressure with height, weight, level of normal activity and health in general is 120/80 mm Hg. In daily activities, normal blood pressure is stable with a numeric value. But in general, the rate of blood pressure decreases during sleep and increased time to run activities or sports. 

If someone had hypertension and did not get the treatment or control on a regular basis, then this may bring the patient into serious cases can even cause death. Continuous blood pressure increases a person causes the heart to work extra hard, this condition ultimately results in damage to the blood vessels of the heart, kidneys, brain and eyes. Hypertension disease is a common cause of stroke and heart attack. 

Diabetes and Medication.

Diabetes Disease.  
In general, diabetes is found in urban areas. many consider that diabetes is a hereditary disease but the number of people with diabetes is very little recorded because it is caused by hereditary factors. 
Diabetes is generally caused by uncontrolled consumption of food or as a side effect of the use of certain drugs, the following factors that can cause a person at risk for diabetes.
 
• Factors descent
• Overweight / obesity usually occurs at age 40
