Also known as Cardiovascular System comprises of three main components: the heart, the blood vessel and the blood itself. The heart is the system’s pump and the blood vessels are like the delivery routes. Blood can be thought of as a fluid which contains the oxygen and nutrients the body needs and carries the wastes which need to be removed. The following information describes the structure and function of the heart and the cardiovascular system as a whole.
In this Section we can discuss the Drugs or medicines used for Cardiovascular diesses
Basic Dieases
Basic Dieases related to CVS inculcated
- Hypertension
- Heart Failure
- Hyperlipidemia
Hypertension
High blood pressure, or hypertension, occurs when your blood pressure increases Your blood pressure measurement takes into account how much blood is passing through your blood vessels and the amount of resistance the blood meets while the heart is pumping.
Narrow arteries increase resistance. The narrower your arteries are, the higher your blood pressure will be. Over the long term, increased pressure can cause health issues, including heart disease.
If we talk about normal blood pressure 80/120mmhg
Symptoms
Symptoms of severe hypertension can include:
- headaches
- shortness of breath
- nosebleeds
- flushing
- dizziness
- chest pain
- visual changes
- blood in the urine
Heart Failure
Heart Failure sometime also known as congestive heart Failure is a condition when our body unable to pump sufficient amount of blood to body due to low oxygen level resulting in failure of heart
Heart Failure don't mean our heart stop working it just need some medical emergency to work properly
Symptoms
Symptoms including
- Shortness of breath
- Swelling in legs ankle
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Unable to excercise
Hyperlipidemia
The incidence of CHD is
correlated with elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triacylglycerols and with low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.
Other risk factors for CHD include cigarette smoking, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes.
Cholesterol levels may be elevated as a result of an individual's lifestyle (for example, by lack
of exercise and consumption of a diet containing excess saturated fatty acids). Hyperlipidemias can also result from a single inherited gene defect in lipoprotein metabolism or, more commonly, from a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors. Appropriate lifestyle changes in combination with drug therapy can lead to a decline in the
progression of coronary plaque, regression of preexisting lesions, and reduction in mortality due to CHD by 30 to 40 percent. Antihyperlipidemic drugs must be taken indefinitely; when therapy is terminated, plasma lipid levels return to pretreatment level metabolism of serum lipoproteins and the characteristics of the major genetic hyperlipidemias
