This lesson, titled ‘Dil ka Daura our Angina’, is taken from the book, ‘Svasthya ke 200 several’, written by Dr. Yathish Agarwal.
We live in an age of Science. Through their efforts, scientists have impacted every sphere of human life and activity. Practitioners of medical science have simplified the treatment of even the worst **** that affect us. Once upon a time, heart ** and angina were untreatable. Now, getting treated for these conditions has become easy for anyone. The heart is one of the most important organs of our body. It pumps blood to every organ in our body. This is done through the two coronary arteries and their branches.
For some reason, if there is contortion or shrinkage in these arteries or their branches, then the blood does not flow properly and the heart is unable to pump blood. At such times, if any of the arteries providing energy and blood flow to the heart muscles have a blockage, or stop working, the person has a heart **. If the blood doesn’t flow properly, a person is unable to do’ any activity. This is called angina. If a heart ** is a severe form, then angina is the milder form.
High blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, mental stress, use of tobacco or alcohol can cause a heart **. This is also a hereditary **. One of the major causes of heart ** is a lack of regular exercise. A heart ** can happen to a person of any age. If one feels unbearable pain in the chest, then it might be a heart **. The pain can spread to the right shoulder, the neck, arms and even the tips of fingers. Along with this, there is profuse sweating.
There are a few ways to diagnose angina – E.C.G. and treadmill tests. If these are inconclusive, then a coronary angiography must be conducted, which will certainly diagnose the problem. To know if one is at risk of heart **, E.C.G. and some blood tests are conducted. Later, if required, a nuclear scan of the heart will show the exact state of the heart. Coronary arteries which have blockages can be bypassed through a heart bypass surgery, which provides an alternative route for the blood to reach the heart muscles.
To decrease the chances of a heart **, patients must take care of and follow certain precautions. Restricted diet, avoiding too much oil or spices in the diet, not using tobacco products, not consuming alcohol, staying away from mental stress, keeping diabetes and blood pressure under control are some of the precautions which will keep **** of the heart at bay.
The ** of the heart is very dangerous, but now there are treatments available for these conditions. In big cities, there are heart specialists. If we ever feel that we are at risk of heart **, or we feel unwell, or feel pain in the chest, we must immediately visit a heart specialist. Now there is no need to be afraid of heart ****.
