Hcm Herz
HCM is a medical condition that affects the heart. It is a common condition in adults, and can be difficult to treat. There are many ways to treat HCM, but treatment may require surgery.
How does the heart work and what role does it play in our lives?
The heart is a small, hard organ that helps us feel both alive and loved. It beats as we breathe, providing energy for our bodies and mind. And though its role in life is largely unknown, scientists believe that the heart provides a significant portion of our body's oxygen supply. In turn, this vital organ helps keep us healthy and happy.
Theiology: What are the different types of hearts?
Heart disease is the most common cause of death in the United States. In 2010, heart disease was responsible for more than 100,000 deaths. The different types of hearts are important to know in order to best understand why heart disease is such a big problem.
The first type of heart is the ventricular myocardium. This is what makes up the muscle that pumps blood through your body. Ventricular myocardium can be divided into two types: the slow-moving and the fast-moving.
The slow-moving ventricular myocardium is made up of small, weak pieces that move slowly. It’s not as strong as the fast-moving ventricular myocardium and can’t pump as much blood through your body.
The second type of heart is called a atrial septal defect.
Functioning: How does the heart work?
The heart works by pumping blood throughout the body. It is made up of a small pumping chamber and an area that stores and releases blood. The chamber is filled with a muscle called a myocardium. As the myocardium contracts, it squeezes the liquid blood out of the vena cava (a tube in your neck that carries blood from your head to your lower stomach). This squeeze causes the pressure on the vena cava to increase, which makes the blood flow faster through your veins back to your heart.
Diseases: What can happen to the heart?
Diseases can cause the heart to malfunction, which can in turn lead to various health problems. Some of the most common diseases that can affect the heart are Herz disease, coronary artery disease, and peripheral arterial disease.
transplants: How can hearts be replaced?
Heart transplants are becoming more common as technology continues to improve. However, the process of exchanging a human heart with an animal has its own set of risks and benefits. Here, we take a look at how transplantations can be done and what potential risks and benefits may exist.
Reactions: What is happening when the heart is damaged?
Heart disease is a common and increasingly deadly problem, but until now there was little understanding of how it affects the body's ability to function. Now, scientists are learning that when the heart is damaged, it can't pump blood effectively or produce enough oxygen to the cells in the body. This can lead to serious health problems such as stroke, heart attack, and even death.
