#Pediatric_Cardiologists treat diseases and #abnormalities of the heart and circulatory system in children. Pediatric Cardiologists will work with children, from #newborns to #teenagers, in order to #diagnose, treat, and prevent heart and/or #cardiovascular_issues, including congenital conditions and defects. Pediatric cardiologists are doctors who specialize in pediatrics -- the treatment of children. They take additional sub-specialty training in cardiology. Pediatric cardiologists treat diseases and abnormalities of the heart and circulatory system in #children. They are more likely to treat #congenital diseases and defects than cardiologists who deal with adults. A congenital condition is one that is present at birth. Pediatric cardiologists conduct research on heart disease and #disorders involving blood circulation. They also educate students and doctors about heart diseases, blood circulation problems and heart rhythm disorders in #babies and #children. When heart surgery is needed, pediatric cardiologists and cardiac surgeons work as a team. Pediatric cardiologists work with the patient, family, regular pediatrician and the heart surgeon.

#Heart_disease is an umbrella term, meaning it describes many conditions that affect a person’s #heart_health. Heart disease describes conditions that affect a person’s #heart_muscle, #heart_valves, #coronary_arteries, or heart rhythm. Each of these components plays an important part in a person’s overall heart health. When a person learns they have heart disease, it’s important for them to make lifestyle changes to slow the progression of the disease. Heart disease can cause many potentially fatal complications if left untreated

#Heart_failure occurs when the heart cannot adequately pump blood throughout the body. The heart muscle is very strong. However, over time, the muscle can be affected and have trouble doing its job. The heart starts to compensate by beating faster, building up more muscle, or stretching to accommodate more blood. Over time, these methods of compensating can affect the #heart’s function and result in heart failure. This can cause shortness of breath, dizziness, confusion, and the buildup of fluid in the body, #causing swelling.

#Interventional_Cardiology is an area of medicine within the subspecialty of cardiology that uses specialized imaging and other #diagnostic techniques to evaluate blood flow and pressure in the coronary arteries and chambers of the heart, as well as technical procedures and #medications to treat #abnormalities that impair the function of the #cardiovascular system.

#Interventional cardiology has grown to bridge many specialties, which were traditionally seen as somewhat isolated from one another. For example, #endovascular techniques mastered within the small- caliber and bifurcating coronary artery vessels of a beating heart in a conscious patient can be applied in larger vessels within #immobile_organs, especially when procedures are done under sedation or #anesthesia. This exemplifies the way interventional cardiologists work in a variety of vascular territories, including the carotid circulation, the upper and lower extremities, and the aorta and its branches. Interventional cardiology has grown in parallel with great achievements in techniques and technologies, to many innovations in its rather brief lifetime—the first balloon angioplasty was only performed in 1977.

#Obesity increases the chance of having a heart disease and #stroke. But it harms more than just the heart or the blood vessel system. It’s also a major cause of gallstones, #osteoarthblood cholesterolritis and respiratory problems. In addition to weight gain, the frequent consequence of heart damage is lifestyle choices such as lack of exercise and a fat laden diet. Obesity also can lead to serious conditions like #heart_failure, in which your one’s heart cannot pump enough blood to the body. Being diabetic or pre-diabetic puts one at an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. One can lower its risk by keeping the blood glucose(also called blood sugar), #hypertension and blood cholesterol close to the recommended target numbers, the levels suggested by diabetes experts for good health.

#Cardiovascular_pharmacology deals with the treatment of #heart disease. #Cardiac medications are used to treat the cardiac, circulatory and vascular system. Various #cardiovascular agents are available to treat various cardiovascular conditions. Sodium, #potassium, #calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors and #cardiac biomarkers. There are 6 associations and societies and the main association for cardiology medical agents in the US. 50 universities work on cardiac medications. Three new #drugs were introduced in 2015. There are many types #cardiovascular drugs on the market that include cardiac glycosides, anticoagulants, #antiarrhythmic_agents, anti anginal agents and #antihypertensive agents.

                                                                   Hypertension

#Hypertension is another name for #high_blood pressure. It can lead to severe health complications and increase the risk of #heart_disease, stroke, and sometimes death. High blood pressure is a common condition in which the long-term force of the blood against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause #health problems, such as #heart disease. #Blood pressure is determined both by the amount of blood your #heart_pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure. You can have high blood pressure (hypertension) for years without any symptoms. Even without symptoms, damage to blood vessels and your heart continues and can be detected. Uncontrolled high blood pressure increases your risk of serious health problems, including heart attack and stroke. High blood pressure generally develops over many years, and it affects nearly everyone eventually. Fortunately, high blood pressure can be easily detected. And once you know you have high blood pressure, you can work with your doctor to control it.

                                    Cardio-oncology

#Cardio-oncology is a new field in cardiology. Cardio-oncologists are typically #cardiologists who see #cancer survivors or patients getting cancer treatment who develop side effects that affect the heart. Cardio-oncologists have a special interest in and knowledge about #cardiac side effects of #chemotherapy, targeted #therapy and #radiation to treat cancer.

If you are having #symptoms that you think could involve your #heart, talk to your cancer doctor (oncologist) or primary care doctor. If your doctors are concerned, they can refer you to a cardiologist or a cardio-oncologist. Make sure to learn about what side effects can be caused by your cancer treatment. That way you can help to inform your health care team.

                                        Cardiac regeneration

#Cardiac_regeneration is a broad effort that aims to repair irreversibly damaged #heart_tissue with cutting-edge science, including stem cell and #cell-free therapy. Reparative tools have been engineered to restore damaged heart tissue and function using the body's natural ability to #regenerate. Working together, patients and providers are finding regenerative solutions that restore, renew and #recycle patients' own reparative capacity. Through the vision and generous support of Russ and Kathy Van Cleve, strong efforts are underway to develop discoveries that will have a global impact on ischemic #heart disease.

#Heart attacks, the number one cause of heart failure, are caused by a sudden 

catastrophic death of hundreds of millions of #heart_muscle cells – functioning cells that cannot be replaced by the normal healing process. At the Center for Regenerative Medicine, we are working toward an actual cure for #heart failure by regenerating lost heart muscle cells and eliminating the need for #life-long treatments with expensive drugs and devices. Such a cure could save thousands of lives, improve the quality lives of millions of #heart failure patients and save the #health care economy billions of dollars every year.

#Heart_disease  refers to several types of problems that affect the heart. The most common type of heart disease is #coronary_ artery_disease (CAD). Heart disease is also called #cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease includes diseases of the #blood_ vessels, which carry #blood to different parts of your body. These include coronary artery disease, vascular (peripheral artery) disease, and #stroke.

The most common heart attack symptom in women is the same as in men – some type of #chest_pain, pressure or discomfort that lasts more than a few minutes or comes and goes. But chest pain is not always severe or even the most noticeable symptom, particularly in women.

#Electrophysiology is the study of the #electrical properties of #biological macromolecules, cells, #tissues, and organs. Electrical signals such as voltage and/or current are generally measured. Examples include measuring changes in the membrane voltage of excitable cells (e.g., neurons, muscle cells, and some endocrine cells) during an action potential. The current carrried by ions as they permeate the pore of ion channels can also be measured - both at the single-channel level (single-channel current), as well as the macroscopic current resulting from the activity of a population of channels.

As another example, electrical measurements may involve recording voltage changes at the surface of the skin that result from the activity of skeletal muscles (electromyogram, EMG), cardiac myocytes (electrocardiogram, ECG), or neurons in the brain (electroencephalogram, EEG).

Electrophysiology: The #biomedical field dealing with the study of electric activity in the body. Electrophysiology includes the study of the production of electrical activity and the effects of that electrical activity on the body.

#Cardiologists are doctors who specialize in #diagnosing and treating diseases or conditions of the heart and #blood_vessels—the #cardiovascular system. You might also visit a cardiologist so you can learn about your risk factors for #heart disease and find out what measures you can take for better #heart health.

The equipment in a cath lab allows the doctor to see the state of the heart. #Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG): this records the #electrical activity of the heart. #Ambulatory ECG: this records #heart rhythms while the person carries out exercise or their regular activities.

The primary responsibility of the #heart is to #pump blood throughout the body. It pumps blood from the body — called the #systemic circulation — through the lungs — called the #pulmonary circulation — and then back out to the body. This means that the heart is connected to and affects the entirety of the body.

The field includes the #diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease, vascular disease and acquired structural heart disease. For pediatric interventional cardiologists, #congenital_heart defects are the major focus of diagnosis and treatment.

Cardiac Nurse Practitioner

#Cardiac-vascular #nurse practitioners deal with patient populations that are experiencing high cholesterol, #high blood pressure, congestive heart failure and arrhythmias (irregularities in heart rate). #Cardiac-vascular nurse practitioners may work in a variety of settings, including private practice #cardiology offices, family medicine or acute-care clinics and hospitals. New and evolving cardiac techniques make this field more challenging than ever, and advanced practice #RNs play a key role in bringing quality cardiac care to patients in underserved, rural and urban settings.

Coursework and clinical experiences prepares you to practice in both inpatient and outpatient #cardiovascular settings across the country. The specialty courses provide the requisite knowledge and skills to demonstrate expertise in cardiovascular care. Upon successful completion of this program, you can find employment in general #cardiology, #electrophysiology, #heart-failure, #cardiac #transplant, #vascular and #lipid specialties.

The #cardiovascular specialty offers you the opportunity to become an expert clinician in the care of individuals with #cardiovascular disease. The online coursework includes content from the. #On-campus intensives provide you with opportunities to engage with #cardiovascular clinicians and inquire about novel #research and innovative practice. As a synthesis, you participate in #clinical practice under the #mentorship of an expert #clinician in a #cardiovascular specialty.

The clinical environment for a #cardiac-nurse #practitioner can vary depending on the employer as well as the type of work the #nurse wants to #pursue. For instance, some #cardiac #nurse #practitioners may work for a #cardiac clinic that has ties with a local #hospital, so their work would take them both to the clinical, #non-emergency setting as well as to an inpatient wing at a #hospital and even potentially ER calls. This #diversity of environments can be fulfilling for #nurses that prefer a mixture of experiences during a typical week.

Heart Attack in Women

Women who suffer from heart attacks are half as likely as men to receive the recommended medical treatment, a new study has claimed. Experts warned that "unconscious bias" means doctors are far less likely to think that female patients are suitable for interventions which can save lives. It follows evidence that 8,000 women have died needlessly from heart attacks in the last decade because they have not received the same standards of care as men. Some of the death toll was blamed on a failure to diagnose cases in women, with medics too often assuming symptoms signified a less serious ailment. But the new study by Edinburgh University found that even when women received a diagnosis, they were half as likely as men to be put on any of the main treatments available. However, despite their diagnoses, it was discovered that the female patients suffering from heart attack or injury were half as likely as the male patients to receive adequate treatment. Only 15 per cent of the female patients were fitted with a stent, in comparison to 34 per cent of the male patients.

Male verses female heart attacks

Women’s symptoms can differ from classic chest pain. We also know women tend to wait longer before discussing symptoms with their GP, which could be due to differences in pain threshold, not wanting to cause a fuss, or simply not being aware they can be at risk of a heart attack. Signs and symptoms of a heart attack in women include:

·       Chest pain or discomfort - the most recognised symptom of a heart attack though not always present.

·       Pain or numbness radiating to the arms (both left and right), neck, jaw, stomach and back -you may experience pain in just one or all of these places; for some people the pain is severe but for others just uncomfortable.

·       A feeling of indigestion or reflux type pain - this is often ignored in the hope it will pass. 

·       Feeling sick, sweaty, breathless or lightheaded with associated chest pain or discomfort

·       A general feeling of being unwell or lethargic can also be an indicator of a heart attack when accompanied by chest pain or discomfort.

Cardiology

#Cardiology is the study and treatment of disorders of the #heart and the #blood_vessels. A person with heart disease or #cardiovascular #disease may be referred to a #cardiologist. Cardiology is a branch of #internal_medicine. A #cardiologist is not the same as a #cardiac #surgeon. A cardiac surgeon opens the chest and performs heart surgery. A cardiologist specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the cardiovascular system.

The cardiologist will carry out tests, and they may some do procedures, such as #heart #catheterizations, #angioplasty, or inserting a #pacemaker. Heart disease relates specifically to the heart, while cardiovascular disease affects the heart, the blood vessels, or both. A cardiologist will review a patient's medical history and carry out a physical examination. They may check the person's weight, heart, lungs, #blood #pressure, and blood vessels, and carry out some tests. An interventional cardiologist may carry out procedures such as angioplasties, #stenting, #valvuloplasties, #congenital #heart #defect corrections, and #coronary #thrombectomies.

Symptoms that can indicate a heart problem include:

·        shortness of breath

·        dizziness

·        chest pains

·        changes in heart rate or rhythm

·        high blood pressure
