What Are The Four Types Of Cardiac Conditions?
Some more details needed
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
There are numerous cardiac conditions, there is no major classification or defined types.
Anyway, I will try to put forth some common conditions affecting the heart.
1) Ischemic Heart disease : In this condition the blood vessels supplying the heart muscle get blocked due to blood clot. Simple anticoagulation to a major bypass surgery may be needed
2) Electrical disturbances : In here there is disturbance in the impulse generation leading to irregular rhythm with which the heart beats. can be treated with antiarrhythmic drugs.
3) Valvular Disease : In here the valves of the heart get damaged secondary to conditions like rheumatic carditis, SLE, Bacterial endocarditis etc.Valve replacement may be needed.
4) Congestive Cardiac failure : Due to conditions like above the pumping mechanism of the heart gets defective. A 2D ECHO can identify congestive heart failure. Medications are the remedy.
Hope, I answered your query.
