Subject: If You Have Questions On Heart Disease (CVD ), Answers are Here.

 

 

A Guide to Cardiovascular Disease! According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the #1 cause of death in the world. In 2012, WHO estimates that 17.5 million people died of CVDs – that's 31% of global mortality! CVDs are often left undetected because many people refuse to do something as simple as going to get checked out.   What are Cardiovascular Diseases?   When cardiovascular diseases are mentioned, most people immediately think of heart attacks, but that's just an acute event. A CVD is a condition where the heart cannot perform its job properly, and they include cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, and arrhythmia. Such conditions can prevent blood from reaching the brain, which can cause brain damage and even be fatal. Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Diseases It's like we've been told for years – an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, tobacco use, alcohol abuse, as well as having genetic inclinations, are all risk factors for heart problems like CVDs. In extreme cases, they could also be a result of hypertension. What are the Main Cardiovascular Diseases? Many heart diseases are left undiagnosed until the patient suffers a heart attack or stroke. Here is a list of the major CVDs and their symptoms: Clogged Arteries: When fat and cholesterol build up in your arteries, it forms a sticky barrier called "plaque," which can restrict and even stop blood flow through those arteries. Clogged arteries often go unnoticed until a person suffers a heart attack. However, if you're suffering from frequent chest pains (angina), you might be showing signs of a coronary arterial disease. Heart Attack: When a buildup of plaque breaks, it can cause a blood clot to form. If that clot blocks an artery, it chokes the blood supply to that area in your heart. Without blood, your heart doesn't get the oxygen it needs to function, which can quickly damage the tissue in that area. The more extensive the damage, the more life-threatening it can be. The primary symptoms of a heart attack are: A feeling of discomfort that spreads to your arm, back, jaw, or throat Pain or pressure in your chest (more common in men) Fast or irregular heartbeats Weakness, shortness of breath, anxiety (more common in women) Nausea, heartburn, or indigestion (more common in women) Even if the symptoms are mild, it can be a serious medical emergency, so seek help immediately. (How to perform CPR)   Arrhythmia (Irregular Heartbeat): The heart is a biological machine that uses electrical impulses to work. Your heartbeat can slow down, quiver, or speed up if those impulses become erratic. If the arrhythmia is temporary, it poses no danger to your health, but regular arrhythmia affects your blood flow, which can be detrimental to your health. If you notice that your ticker is acting funny, talk to your doctor. Cardiomyopathy (Heart Muscle Disease): Your heart is a muscle, and if it becomes weak for any reason, it starts struggling to pump blood to the rest of your body. Cardiomyopathy can be caused by diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure, amongst other things, and can lead to heart failure. Heart Failure: This does not mean that your heart stopped working, but rather that it is too weak to send enough blood to the rest of your body. To compensate, the heart grows in size and the rhythm increases, but it also weakens the muscle and lowers the blood flow even more, which eventually makes the problem even worse. Congenital Heart Defects: The heart is comprised of four chambers, each separated by valves that regulate blood flow through it. Some people are born with a leaky valve, or the walls that separate each chamber might be damaged. Defects can lead to arrhythmia, infection of the valves, and heart failure. Congenital heart defects can often remain undiagnosed until adulthood, and not all of them require treatment. Severe cases will call for surgical intervention or medication.     Sudden Cardiac Death: Unlike a heart attack, in this case, your heart's electrical system goes on the fritz, which causes your heart to beat irregularly and very fast. In this situation, instead of pumping blood, the heart basically shakes and quivers. A person suffering from sudden cardiac death can die in minutes, but getting CPR can often save them, so call the EMTs immediately and start performing CPR on them. Testing for CVDs   EKG: Electrocardiogram is a painless test where the doctor places electrodes on your skin for a few minutes to measure your heart's electrical activity. An EKG can also determine if you're having a heart attack or have had one in the past, as well as determine the regularity of your heartbeat. Stress test: For this, you use a treadmill or stationary bike in a progressive workout while your heart is being monitored by an EKG. This will tell doctors how your heart works under stress. Holter monitor: If your doctor suspects that your heart might be skipping a beat here and there, he'll give you a Holter monitor to wear throughout the day. This device constantly measures the electrical activity of your heart to give your doctor more comprehensive data. X-rays: By taking an X-ray of your chest, doctors can tell if your heart has an irregular shape or size. Echocardiogram: This is an ultrasound for your heart, and it shows your heart's activity in real time, allowing doctors to spot possible issues with your pump. Cardiac CT: Cardiac computerized tomography takes detailed X-rays of your heart and blood vessels. This helps doctors find plaque or calcium buildups in your arteries, as well as valve problems and more. Cardiac Catheterization: A tiny tube is inserted into a blood vessel that leads to your heart, and the doctor then injects a dye into it, making any blockages visible on X-ray. Life with a Heart Disease Most heart diseases are long-lasting, and can sometimes be asymptomatic for years, but if left untreated – they will get progressively worse. Once your disease has been diagnosed, it's possible that your whole lifestyle will change. You may need to start taking pills daily to control your cholesterol, blood pressure, rhythm, heart rate, and for clot prevention. If you suffer from a blocked artery, you may need to go through surgical intervention to unblock it. Angioplasty is an operation where a doctor guides a catheter with a balloon into the blocked artery. When it reaches the blockage, the balloon is filled with air, opening the blockage. Your surgeon may also put in a small mesh tube to keep the artery open.     More severe cases will call for bypass surgery, which involves taking a blood vessel from another part of your body and using it to replace the damaged blood vessel, thereby "bypassing" it. Whether you've been diagnosed with or treated for CVD, get on a cardiac rehab program. Specialists will help you with nutrition, exercises, and emotional support to help you get back on track. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Thanks to Elm Belle for posting these useful info about   Cardiovascular disease ( CVD )  - SIVA

 

Subject:  Thirukkural by Thiruvalluvar

on upbringing of our children

 

 

Thirukkural  by Thiruvalluvar ( a Tamil  poet/writer) was written more than 5000 years ago. It's one of the ancient science on Human behaviour, which has not changed in spite of modern education  & technology !  

*SOME GOLDEN THOUGHTS OF THIRUKKURAL*

1. If your child lies to you often, 

it is because you over-react too harshly to their inappropriate behaviour.

2. If your child is not taught to confide in you about their mistakes,

you've lost them.

3. If your child had poor self-esteem,

it is because you advice them more than you encourage them.

4. If your child does not stand up for themselves,

it is because from a young age you have disciplined them regularly in public.

5. If your child takes things that do not belong to them, 

it is because when you buy them things, you don't let them chose what they want.

6. If your child is cowardly,

it is because you help them too quickly.

7. If your child does not respect other people's feelings,

it is because instead of speaking to your child, you order and command them.
 
8. If your child is too quick to anger,

it is because you give too much attention to misbehaviour and you give little attention to good behaviour.

9. If your child is excessively jealous,

it is because you only congratulate them when they successfully complete something and not when they improve at something even if they don't successfully complete it.

10. If your child intentionally disturbs you, 

it is because you are not physically affectionate enough.

11. If your child is openly defiant, 

it is because you openly threaten to do something but don't follow through.

12. If your child is secretive, 

it is because they don't trust that you won't blow things out of proportion.

13. If your child talks back to you, 

it is because they watch you do it to others and think its normal behaviour.

14. If your child doesn't listen to you but listens to others, 

it is because you are too quick to jump to conclusions

15. If your child rebels, 

it is because they know you care more about what others think than what is right

Please forward this to parents who care to.

 Read this, it MAY GUIDE OUR MODERN  PARENTING.
Positive parenting☝
