Congestive Heart Failure in Men
According
to the American Heart Association, congestive heart failure
(CHF) occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood to
the body and internal organs. Left side congestive heart
failure occurs when the heart is either too weak or arteries
are too block for the heart to deliver sufficient force
necessary to get oxygenated blood to the body. Right side
congestive heart failure results from an inadequacy in the
right side of the heart to completely receive all the blood
that returns to it. It causes a buildup of excess fluid
in the veins called Edema. Left side congestive heart failure
is more life threatening because it diminishes the body’s
supply of nutrition and oxygen.
A
few facts about the heart itself will help us understand
exactly how congestive heart failure can affect every aspect
of body life!
The
heart is actually a muscle, located just to the left of
the center of the chest that works to pump blood throughout
the body. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the body’s
tissues and keeps the body both alive and healthy. The left
side of the heart sends blood to the body with a force great
enough to carry it through literally thousands of miles
of blood, capillaries, and veins.
Unfortunately,
a man often suffers from congestive heart failure without
even knowing he has it. A heart attack often results, and
upon examination by a doctor it is discovered that congestive
heat failure was the culprit. An entire change in lifestyle,
diet, medication, supplementation, and exercise must follow
to prevent a second, possibly fatal heart attack in the
future.
Many
symptoms can indicate the possible presence of congestive
heart failure in a man.
Some
result from the lack of blood flow caused by left heart
CHF. Others symptoms result from Edema- a condition that
results when right heart CHF blocks a portion of blood returning
to the heart and fluid builds up in organs and tissues.
A partial list representing both types of CHF follows:
- Shortness
of breath and possible wheezing after only mild exertion
- Shortness
of breath while lying down
- Trouble
sleeping
- Fluid
buildup causing frequency of nocturnal urination
- Excess
fluid causes weight gain
- Swollen
legs and ankles
- A
fast or irregular pulse can be felt at times
- First
symptom sometimes most severe: Sudden heart attack
Because
many of these symptoms can result from any number of other
conditions, Vaxa strongly recommends against ANY attempt at
self-diagnosis. Two or more of these symptoms that linger
and/or worsen require immediate attention and a visit to a
physician for a professional diagnosis.
Several
factors can either cause or contribute to congestive heart
failure.
Some
can be brought on by aging and genetic factors not completely
understood by science at this time. Heart infections and
coronary artery diseases will often contribute to a man
developing congestive heart failure on the left side, as
any restriction of arterial passageways makes it harder
for the heart to pump blood. Untreated high blood pressure
can do this as well. Lifestyles characterized by extended
periods of neglect or self abuse probably account for much
of the congestive heart failure we see in men. Smoking,
drinking, and overeating all either damage or constrict
blood vessels, making it that much harder for the heart
to do its work.
Over
a period of time, congestive heart failure can affect major
organs of the body.
Lack
of blood flow from congestive heart failure on the left
side creates oxygen deficiencies in the blood that sap a
man’s strength and affect vital organs. The edema
resulting from right side congestive heart failure can cause
feet and legs to swell up, making it difficult to walk.
Kidney failure in severe cases may also follow due to excessive
water buildup at a volume they simply cannot handle. Lungs
develop chronic coughing and sometimes produce blood in
the cough.
Växa
TriCardia+ offers
help to men suffering from CHF by helping to cleanse and
detoxify the heart. It also helps cleanse the kidneys and
the liver. Växa TriCardia + is a homeopathic Oral
Chelation Formula provided in capsule form as opposed
to IV Chelation therapy administered in outpatient facilities.
It is a safe natural adjunct to physician care and prescription
medication plan. Växa TriCardia+ can also work as a
detoxifying agent that can proactively help reduce the risk
of CHF developing.
