Acute heart failuredevelops suddenly and symptoms are initially severe.Acute heart failurecan follow a heart attack that has caused damage to an area of ​​your heart. It can also be caused by a sudden lack of ability of the body to compensate for chronic heart failure.
Fine particulate matter (particulate matter with diameters less than 2.5 µm or PM2.5) can increase the risk of cardiovascular events.
Facts: If BMI is less than 18.5 kg/m2, it falls within the underweight range. If BMI is 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2, it falls within the Healthy Weight range. If BMI is 25.0 to 29.9 kg/m2, it falls within the overweight range. If your BMI is 30.0 kg/m2 or higher, it falls within the obese range.

Normal Blood Pressure: Systolic: (Upper number) = between 120-129 mm Hg Diastolic: (Lower number) =<80 mm Hg
eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is a measure of how well your kidneys are working. Your eGFR is an estimated number based on a blood test and your age, sex, and body type.
Approximately 40% of the risk for cardiovascular disease lies in hereditary factors.1 DNA, located within genes, is hereby crucial. Molecular biology or cytogenetic tests can determine ones’ predisposition from genetic material.

Ischemic strokes are caused by interruption of the blood supply to the brain, while hemorrhagic strokes result from the rupture of a blood vessel or an abnormal vascular structure. About 87% of strokes are ischemic, the rest being hemorrhagic.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with an increased risk for future cardiovascular disease (CVD), including coronary heart disease (CHD), heart failure, stroke, and arrhythmia.1
Normal Blood Pressure: Systolic mm Hg (Upper number)=<120 Diastolic mm Hg (Lower number)=<80
Obesity is associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly heart failure (HF) and coronary heart disease (CHD)
Rapidly accruing evidence from a diversity of disciplines supports the hypothesis that psychosocial factors are related to morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular diseases
Normal kidney function Some signs of kidney damage, such as protein in urine (i.e., pee) or physical damage to the kidneys.
Mild loss of kidney function Signs of kidney damage, such as protein in urine or physical damage to the kidneys
Antihypertensive agents Medicine- To reduce BP and other risk factors of heart disease
Aspirin is in a group of medications called salicylates. It works by stopping the production of certain natural substances that cause fever, pain, swelling, and blood clots.
Q24.9: Congenital malformation of heart, unspecified
Entonox is a mixture of a gas called nitrous oxide and oxygen. It is also called gas and air. You can breathe in Entonox to control pain and anxiety during some medical tests and procedures.
