HEART FAILURE

HEART FAILURE

The term ‘heart failure’ describes a situation when the heart is not functioning properly. Like adults, heart failure can also occur newborns, infants, toddlers and teenagers but for the reasons very different from those that cause heart failure in adults. It can also occur in newborns, infants, toddlers and teenagers for other reasons. Since heart failure has different causes and outcomes, it's important to recognize how it's diagnosed, treated and even cured in younger children. Heart failure in children occurs mainly because of the these reasons:

• Over circulation Failure: This defect occurs when blood mixes inside the heart due to a congenital heart defect.
• Pump Failure: Pump Failure occurs when the heart muscle becomes damaged and no longer contracts normally.

CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT SURGERY

CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT SURGERY

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) involves sewing one end an artery or vein above a blocked coronary artery and the other end below the blockage, thereby allowing blood an alternative means to get to the heart. The arteries or veins used for the bypass (which are known as "grafts") are usually obtained from the leg or the chest wall.

Bypass surgery may not be possible if the coronary artery is heavily calcified or if the disease is very widespread. CABG can be done with or without connecting the patient to heart-lung machine, depending on the kind of blockages and surgeon's decision. Several new surgical approaches are being developed, which can potentially reduce the discomfort and complications associated with traditional bypass surgery.

These are collectively referred to as being "minimally invasive." In general, these approaches focus on performing bypass surgery though a very small chest incision and performing bypass surgery while the heart is still beating (ie, without the need for a heart/lung bypass machine).

Overview of Coronary Artery Disease

Your heart is the hardest working muscle you have.Its job is to keep blood circulating in and out of your lungs and through all the other organs and tissues in your body.Like any muscle, your heart needs plenty of oxygen-rich blood to stay healthy and keep functioning. The blood vessels that surround your heart are called Coronary arteries. When fatty deposits called plaque develop in the lining of these arteries , several things can happen:
1.The lining of the artery becomes thicker and rougher.
2.Plaque build up makes it harder for blood to flow through the artery.
3.The heart has to work harder to pump blood.
4.The plaque may rupture, causing a blood clot completely block the artery; this stops the supply of blood to the heart muscle.
5.If one or more arteries become blocked, heart tissue doesn't get the blood supply it needs to function.The result can range from mild chest pain to severe heart attack.
