Pulmonary Embolism is a blood clot in the Pulmonary arteries that usually travels from a deep vein in the legs to the lungs. This clot blocks the lungs and creates a life-threatening situation for the patient. With prompt medication and treatment, the risk can be mitigated.

Symptoms

The symptoms of Pulmonary Embolism vary with the size and position of the clot. The most common symptoms include pain in the chest and shortness of breath. The patient with Pulmonary Embolism suff...more

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

In rare instances, treatment for supraventricular tachycardia may involve use of a small, implantable device called a pacemaker to emit electrical impulses that stimulate your heart to beat at a normal rate.

Cardiomyopathy is serious heart disease. It is a disease associated with heart muscle or myocardium. In this disease, the heart muscles get weak and fail to pump blood to the organs of the body. It has several categories. The categorization depends upon the range of factors. In this disease, irregular heartbeat is observed. These irregularities can lead to heart failure or attack or can trigger problems in the valves. It is important to take care of your heart to avoid such a condition. It is al...more

An Atrial Septal Defect is present at birth (congenital heart disease). The condition refers to a hole in the septum or walls (atrial septum) that separate the heart s upper chambers atria.
The heart of the fetus develops during pregnancy. Normally, there are several openings in the septum dividing the atria, which close during pregnancy or soon after birth. However, a hole is formed if one of the openings does not close, leading to atrial septal defect.
Due to a hole in the heart, blo...more

Pulmonary edema is a disorder wherein fluid accumulates in the lungs leading to lack of oxygen in the body. The usual cause of pulmonary edema is congestive heart failure (the muscles of the heart are unable to pump blood). In this disorder, the heart has to work extra hard to pump blood, so this adds extra pressure on the blood vessels that are present in the lungs. In a bid to relieve this added pressure, fluid is released into the lungs by the blood vessels.

The function of your lung...more
