Out of thses things what is CHF related to ?

Question

OUT OF THESE THINGS WHAT IS CHF RELATED TO AND HOW?
CVA, ATIRL FIB, SYMBOLIC DYSFUNCTION, DIABETES,TACHYCARDIA, HYPERLIPADEMA, ORGANIC HEART DISEASE, HYPERTENTION, COPD

parent with it, that has many problems in the past

Answer 1

SYMBOLIC DYSFUNCTION is not a condition. I thnk you mean systolic dysfunction. All of the things you listed can be part of CHF. CHF is when the heart fails to pump adequately. all the conditions you mention can eithr be the contributor or the result. Check your A&P of the heart and look up those conditions to understand why. There is no easy answer to your question...sorry.

Answer 2

well it's funny i came across your question cause just yesterday i had a patient with CHF. well from what i read about CHF, it is related to tachycardia as it is one of the symptoms of CHF.It is related to CHF because in CHF your heart's pumping mechanism is impaired so less blood is being delivered to some parts of your body. Our body will try to compensate for that failing ventricle by increasing the heart rate.your sympathetic nervous system will increased in stimulation because of diminished carbon dioxide causing increased heart rate which is also called tachycardia.CHF is also associated with many types of heart disease, particularly with long-standing hypertension and CAD.

Answer 3

Many disease processes can impair the pumping efficiency of the heart to cause CHF. In the United States, the most common causes of CHF are coronary artery disease, high blood pressure (hypertension), longstanding alcohol abuse, and disorders of the heart valves. Less common causes include viral infections of the heart muscle, thyroid disorders, disorders of the heart rhythm, and many others.

It should also be noted that in patients with underlying heart disease, taking certain medications can lead to the development or worsening of CHF. This is especially true for those drugs that can cause sodium retention or affect the power of the heart muscle. Examples of such medications are the commonly used nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which include ibuprofen (Motrin and others) and naproxen (Aleve and others).
he heart is a muscle that acts as an automatic pump to circulate blood throughout the body. Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition in which the heart's function as a pump is inadequate to meet the body's needs. A poor blood supply resulting from CHF may cause the body's organ systems to fail. When the heart's pumping action is inadequate as a result of CHF, the blood "backs up" (becomes congested) behind the heart. This congestion can lead to fluid accumulation in the lungs and body tissues. CHF is a grouping of clinical findings rather than a specific diagnosis or a single disease. CHF can be considered a symptom of impairment of the pumping action of the heart that is caused by an underlying disease.

CHF can be broadly divided into categories depending on the underlying heart condition present. The strength (forward pumping function) of the heart may be impaired (so called systolic dysfunction) due to illnesses that cause heart muscle weakness or the ability of the heart to relax and fill may be impaired. Additionally, in some cases, although the pumping action of the heart may be intact, other factors due to abnormal demands by the body's tissues may make it difficult for the heart to supply an adequate blood flow (called high output heart failure).

CHF often involves a combination of the above malfunctions in any given patient. The remainder of this article will focus primarily on CHF that is due to heart muscle weakness.

CHF can affect many organs of the body. Regardless of the initial cause of CHF, the weakened heart muscle becomes less efficient in pumping the blood circulation. As the heart fails, other organs are affected. Importantly, the kidneys begin to lose their normal ability to excrete salt (sodium) and water. As a result, the kidneys may begin to fail. The lungs may become congested with fluid (pulmonary edema) and the person's ability to exercise is decreased. Fluid may likewise accumulate in the liver, thereby impairing its ability to rid the body of toxins and produce essential proteins. The intestines may become less efficient in absorbing nutrients and medicines. Over time, untreated CHF will affect virtually every organ in the body.

Answer 4

I agree with the first answerer, all of these things could either be a cause or effect of CHF. Are you asking because you have CHF or because you have some homework to do? LOL. Good luck with that.
