4.7 -> Congestive heart failure or
heart failure is a clinical
7.46 -> syndrome where the heart is not
able to maintain the metabolic
11.33 -> demands of the body.
So what happens is the heart
13.79 -> is either getting weaker or not
able to pump enough or relaxing
18.62 -> enough so blood backs up
into your lungs into the belly
22.22 -> and into the legs.
So people start to develop their
25.28 -> symptoms of weakness fatigue
shortness of breath swelling in
29.24 -> the legs and they develop
an increase in their weight.
32.3 -> So when those things are
happening I think people need
34.94 -> to consider that there's
something going wrong.
36.89 -> Congestive heart failure
is because of multiple
39.41 -> etiologies or other problems.
From heart failure or prevention
42.62 -> or the treatment point
of preventing the heart attacks
45.02 -> so the heart attacks can cause
heart muscle weakness
47.96 -> that could lead to potentially
congestive heart failure.
50.36 -> So to prevent a congestive heart
failure you need to take care
52.76 -> of all of these factors early
on so that we could potentially
55.82 -> prevent the damage of the heart
muscle or go to the doctor
58.82 -> and check their valves
and sometimes we are born
61.22 -> with a defective valves or
a hole in the heart or
63.28 -> a leaky valve. So all those
things can be potentially
66.59 -> prevented if you find out early
and prevent it early so that we
70.43 -> could prevent the congestive
heart failure.
72.86 -> From a treatment point of view,
there are a lot of medications
76.14 -> a lot of devices we can do
to make the congestive
79.37 -> heart failure better.
There are some medications make
81.86 -> us live longer. There are some
medications which make us feel
84.35 -> better when people have
congestive heart failure.
86.36 -> By doing all these medications,
we can decrease the risk
89.33 -> of death risk of congestive
heart failure almost up to seven
92.47 -> to eight percent by using
the medications on a regular
94.91 -> basis by doing the devices
like
96.63 -> pacemakers or defibrillators.
So those will help us to treat
100.73 -> these patients so that they have
a better quality of life.
103.58 -> If people are not able to get
better with their medications
107.06 -> and the devices the next step
is going to be
109.55 -> an artificial heart.
And then we can go
111.81 -> for a transplant which makes
a life really significant
115.13 -> improvement from a quality
of life point of view.
