Cardiovascular & Circulatory Conditions
These conditions occur when the heart or blood vessels are affected due to high blood pressure, cholesterol buildup, sedentary habits, or family history. Poor diet and stress also contribute significantly.
ECG, 2D echo, lipid profiles, and stress tests help in detecting underlying heart or blood vessel issues. Blood pressure readings are essential for early detection.
Management includes medicines to control BP, cholesterol, and heart rhythm. Lifestyle changes such as salt reduction, exercise, and stress management are key components. Regular follow-ups prevent disease progression.
Types of Treatments
Hypertension Treatment
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, occurs when the force of blood against artery walls is too high, often with no symptoms. Treatment includes lifestyle changes and medication to lower blood pressure.
Rheumatic Heart Disease Treatment
Caused by untreated strep throat infections, rheumatic heart disease damages the heart valves. Treatment involves antibiotics, medications, and in severe cases, surgery.
Anemia Treatment
Anemia occurs when the body doesn’t have enough red blood cells, leading to fatigue and weakness. Treatment includes iron supplements and addressing the underlying cause.
