Demystifying Heart Failure: Understanding the different types

The term "heart failure" can it seem as though entire heart not well. But heart refers several different long-term heart problems can affect distinct parts heart. The heart divided into two halves, which it returned left side heart be pumped rest body. Depending on form heart failure, called systolic heart failure, heart can pump than half its blood with each beat (called Demystifying Heart Failure: reduced ejection fraction; normal 55%-70%). To up this loss power.

When we race walk, for example, part of our healthy heart muscle may want a little more blood and oxygen, so our tiniest blood vessels send a message upstream to the larger vessels to send more. Now researchers at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University have found that a chemical in our bodies known to help blood vessels dilate also sends that signal to the larger blood vessels that more blood is needed. They've also found that in diastolic heart failure, a condition where the left ventricle, the left ventricular diastolic dysfunction treatment major pumping chamber of the heart, can't relax enough to fill adequately, the natural inhibitor of that chemical goes up and communication with upstream blood vessels goes down. And, when they bring the inhibitor down, it reduces the heart dysfunction, they report in the journal Circulation: Heart Failure. "What we are talking about here even many cardiologists cannot see," Dr. Zsolt Bagi, vascular biologist in the MCG Department of Physiology, says of the microvasculature that pervades our heart muscle, aligning one on one with each individual heart cell.
