Heart failure can be caused by inflammatory or toxic damage to the myocardial cells, and is, as its name suggests, a disorder that affects the heart. This is because the brain is no longer able to pump blood properly, which hinders the blood flow that is essential for tissue function. As a result, blood vascularization becomes insufficient while the venous system is clogged with blood. Global heart failure affects both sides of the heart and therefore results from the combination of left ventricular failure and right ventricular failure. The main known causes of heart failure are myocardiopathy, myocardial ischemia or mitral disease.
Symptoms
Heart failure can affect both the left and right ventricles. In the first case, the lung no longer normally evacuates blood to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins, causing breathing problems in the affected subject. Thus, at the slightest effort, the breathing of the latter accelerates and becomes more and more difficult. Heart failure in the right ventricle is manifested by edema in the lower limbs. The affected person also has a large and painful liver as well as turgid veins due to the slowing of blood circulation.
Treating heart failure
To alleviate minor disorders affecting the heart rhythm, 5 ganules of Digitalis Purpurea 7 CH should be taken daily until noticeable improvement is noticed. To treat heart failure accompanied by vascular depression, it is better to opt for Aurum Metallicum 15 CH. In the case of heart failure with bradycardia with or without arrhythmia, it is preferable to follow a treatment based on Apocynum Cannabinum 7 CH. Finally, Phosphorus can also be used as a homeopathic treatment to alleviate heart failure. It should be noted that the dosage for certain disorders such as extrasystole must be imperatively carried out by the attending physician.
When to see a doctor?
As soon as the first symptoms of heart failure appear, it is advisable to consult a doctor immediately in order to avoid serious complications such as pulmonary embolism, cerebral hemorrhage or even sudden death.
