There are severe cardiovascular disease, the presence of which man can not know, but there are some that may not be apparent throughout your life, but can occur suddenly and most tragic way. So already, for example, with famous athletes, when the heart stopped in the middle of the competition.

Heart Valves

The heart pumps blood into the vascular system by systematically successive contractions of muscle cells of the atria and ventricles. Blood moves through the scheme: the circulatory system - the atria - the ventricles - the circulatory system. During ventricular special valves (doors) between the atria and closed and prevent the return (of the ventricles in the atrium) blood flow. On the right side is the tricuspid valve, on the left - bicuspid or mitral.

When the mitral valve completely fail

Sometimes the mitral valve does not work, due to changes in the connective tissue, they sag into the cavity of the left atrium during systole (contraction) of the ventricles, forming a sphere, in which case we speak of mitral valve prolapse (MVP).

Mitral valve prolapse may be congenital or arose against other diseases, such as, for example, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, etc.

How can manifest mitral valve prolapse

Mitral valve prolapse due to congenital causes may not manifest itself throughout life, and may be accompanied by various unpleasant sensations, such as arrhythmia or pain in the heart. It all depends on the degree of change in the connective tissue of the valve and of the destruction of the autonomic nervous system (the nervous system that innervate the internal organs).

Thus, PMC can occur in the form of recurrent palpitations, aches and disruptions in the heart, dyspnea, fever, headaches, and other, including vegetative symptoms.

Vegetative crises can arise spontaneously or due to overwork and stress. They also stop on their own or while taking sedatives. Crises can be of two types - the sympathetic and parasympathetic.

With the predominance of the activity of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system (he is responsible for the condition of the heart in extreme situations) develops sympathoadrenal crisis, which is manifested excitement, anxiety, tremors throughout the body, chilliness, high blood pressure, heartbeat.

If there is increased activity of the parasympathetic department (responsible for the constant support of the authorities), during the crisis there is a feeling of fear, anguish, sweating, nausea, excessive salivation Profuse salivation - find out the cause , Bloating, and rumbling stomach, diarrhea, frequent urination.

Complications of mitral valve prolapse

In some cases, mitral valve prolapse can cause complications such as acute or chronic mitral valve insufficiency with expansion of the left atrium and the stagnation of blood in the lungs (which can cause even more severe complication - pulmonary edema), bacterial endocarditis (inflammation of the mucosal lining of the heart), thromboembolism Thromboembolism: severe complications   (blood stasis thrombus, which is formed due to the stagnation of the blood), severe arrhythmias, sudden death.

Diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse

If you suspect a mitral valve prolapse is performed to confirm the diagnosis of ECG, cardiac ultrasound (echocardiography) phonocardiography (study of heart sounds), X-ray of the heart. On the basis of these studies can make a correct diagnosis.

Treatment of mitral valve prolapse

Mitral valve prolapse involves, first of all, proper organization of work and rest with the exception of heavy physical and mental exertion. Despite the fact that most of these patients tolerate physical stress, including gymnastics, they can not participate, for example, in the event of the higher physical and mental load increased. Not recommended as sports activities related to the nature of the jerky movements (eg, jumping, wrestling).

Patients with mitral valve prolapse performed restorative treatment, treatment (including boosting the immune system, as most of them are prone to colds, as well as the treatment of chronic foci of infection), contributing to the strengthening of the autonomic nervous system (psychotherapy, auto-training Auditory training - you start to think positively? , Physiotherapy, reflexology Reflexology - a policy of non-drug therapies Massage).

Mitral valve prolapse - this is not a serious disease, but it requires certain limitations, both physical and mental.

Pereduktal shown in coronary heart disease - it allows the heart muscle normally exist in conditions of ischemia (insufficient blood supply). No less important is the drug for patients with impaired cerebral circulation, accompanied by impaired vision and hearing.

Preductal in coronary heart disease

At the heart of coronary artery disease (CAD) is atherosclerosis of the arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle (myocardium). Atherosclerotic plaque coated walls of the coronary arteries, because of which significantly reduces their lumen. If the spasm occurs these arteries (in physical and neuropsychiatric loads), the blood flow is blocked completely. This is very dangerous especially lack of oxygen, without which the myocardial cells can not exist.

In response to the complete lack of food in the heart there is a strong pain which can not be tolerated, as long-term lack of nutrition can cause myocardial necrosis area, which is supplied with blood from the affected artery, ie myocardial infarction. To relieve the pain, and along with it, and coronary artery spasm, patients take nitroglycerin - it quickly expands coronary vessels.

But there is one way to combat coronary heart disease - a long reception preductal that prevents strokes. This happens due to the fact that changes the metabolism preduktal Improves metabolism and losing weight without dieting   in myocardial cells by inhibiting fatty acid oxidation and increase glucose oxidation Glucose: The energy source . Thus for metabolism Metabolism: The basis of life of all living things   It requires less oxygen in the normal course of metabolic processes.

To achieve therapeutic effect, preduktal must be taken at least three weeks. Courses of treatment with this drug and duration are individually dependent on the frequency, severity and duration of angina attacks. It is usually preductal one tablet (20 mg), two or three times per day or one tablet preductal CF (35 mg) twice a day.

If the intake preductal angina attacks continue, you should seek medical attention for the appointment of more adequate treatment. Remove angina Angina - oxygen deficiency   preduktalom also impossible - this drug has no effect on the reduction of the walls of the coronary arteries.

Preductal vascular disorders of the auditory organ

With long flowing cerebrovascular disorders may be abnormalities in the inner ear. The inner ear called the canal system of the temporal bone, and it is in the receptor apparatus of hearing and vestibular (responsible for balance) analyzers. Such violations are called labirintopatiyami. If damaged, the sound receptor say kohleopatiyah, vestibular - vestibulopathy about when frustration both functions - of labirintopatii. The main manifestations are labirintopatii dizziness, tinnitus and hearing loss.

In some cases labirintopatiya proceeds in repeated attacks of dizziness in conjunction with a progressive drop in the ear. This disease is known as Meniere's disease.

Appointment preductal for a long period of time can significantly reduce the risk of damage to hearing, and the vestibular apparatus. If such disorders have appeared on the background of preductal stop disease progression and, in some cases, reduce symptoms and labirintopatii.

Pereduktal labirintopatiyah when administered in the same dosage as in coronary heart disease and the duration of treatment is determined by your doctor.

Preductal vascular disorders of body

When violations of cerebral circulation may still suffer and eyesight. Disorders associated with degenerative lesions of the retina and choroid as a result of insufficient blood supply. Such violations are called chorioretinal and exhibit various visual impairments. This may decrease visual acuity, addresses the subject may be distorted, with closed eyes appear bright flashes of light (photopsias) flying "flies" in front of the eyes, can be reduced night vision and so on.

When chorioretinal lesions preduktal improves vision and prevents further development of degenerative changes. The result is improved quality of vision and quality of life in general. Preductal when visual impairment is assigned to the standard dose, duration of treatment is determined by your doctor.

Preductal able to significantly improve the quality of life in patients with coronary heart disease, as well as labirintopatiyami and chorioretinal lesions on the background of cerebrovascular events.
