Cardiopulmonary failure acute and chronic is one of the most common human diseases in old age. It is a natural result of the presence and progression of general atherosclerosis, rheumatism, pulmonary diseases and chronic heart diseases. She was awarded the ICD-10 code: I27.9 - Pulmonary heart disease, unspecified.
With the development of cardiopulmonary insufficiency, there are such signs: edema, atrial fibrillation, palpitations( tachycardia) and cardiac disruptions. We will consider the symptoms and treatment of cardiopulmonary failure with folk remedies and medications.
CONTENTS
Reasons for
Respiratory and pulmonary heart disease develop for many reasons. In the first place are such chronic lung diseases as emphysema, chronic bronchitis, pneumosclerosis, tuberculosis. In addition, pulmonary heart disease may be a consequence of blood diseases, circulatory system, diseases of the central nervous system.
Signs of
With all types of pulmonary insufficiency, the pressure inside the pulmonary alveoli always increases, which leads to increased stress on the right ventricle( as it has to exert much greater force to push blood into the narrowed pulmonary vessels).Trying to compensate for the increased load on it, the right ventricle increases, thereby strengthening its power. But this can not be infinite, and in the end the right ventricle stops coping with its work. There is a right ventricular failure and the so-called "pulmonary heart".
Symptoms of
Shortness of breath
Symptoms of pulmonary heart disease are largely determined by the disease that caused it. But in any case, its main symptom is shortness of breath. It is by the degree of dyspnea that the severity of the disease is judged. If dyspnea occurs with considerable physical exertion, then they speak of the first degree if it occurs at low physical exertion, put a second degree of pulmonary-cardiac failure, and, finally, if dyspnea disturbs the patient at rest, then this is the third degree of severity.
Cyanosis of mucous
Another no less important symptom of pulmonary heart failure is cyanosis of the mucous membranes( cyanosis).Cyanosis is a consequence of insufficient supply of blood with oxygen. If normal arterial blood oxygen saturation is 95-98%, then with respiratory failure, it does not exceed 90%.
Puffiness
The third important sign of pulmonary and pulmonary heart failure is edema. They are located mainly in the lower extremities, but with severe forms, the lower abdomen is also captured.
Treatment of pulmonary heart disease: general recommendations
Treatment of cardiopulmonary failure primarily involves the treatment of the underlying disease that caused it.
General principles of treatment of
The main principles of treatment are reduced to the following main factors:
- elimination of bronchospasm and cleansing of the bronchi from mucus;
- treatment of edema;
- administration of oxygen and the means stimulating the work of the respiratory center;
- breathing exercises;
- treatment of inflammatory diseases of lung tissue.
Elimination of the causes of the disease
The roots of the disease should be sought at a young age. Here, the role is played both by malnutrition, lack of physical activity, and slagging of the body. Treatment of heart failure is basically the treatment of atherosclerosis, but it has its own specific characteristics. First of all, it is necessary to reduce the burden on the heart: to try to get rid of excess weight, to regulate nutrition, to cleanse the body and, of course, the vessels.
- For cardiac relief it is necessary to get rid of edema and excess fluid in the body. Since the development of edema promotes table salt, then in the diet of the patient it is necessary to reduce its amount to a minimum. Food should always be under-salted.
- Diet for cardiovascular failure should be fruit and vegetable, with enough vitamins and trace elements. Recommended apple-cottage cheaper days, when a person eats only 600-800 g of apples per day and 300-400 g of cottage cheese. With large swelling, such a diet is prescribed for five days.
- Gradually, as the general condition improves, it is necessary to increase the motor activity .It must be remembered that hypodynamia( insufficient physical activity) is the first ally of cardiac and pulmonary insufficiency.
Treatment of the first degree of cardiopulmonary insufficiency: observance of a mode of work and rest, moderate physical exercises.
At heavier degrees, physical activity should be limited, bed( half-post) mode. Nutrition - full, easily digestible, rich in proteins, vitamins, potassium. With a tendency to fluid retention and hypertension, a moderate restriction of table salt is shown.

Medical treatment of pulmonary heart disease: drugs, medications, tablets
Treatment of pulmonary heart disease by means of official medicine reduces, first of all, to treatment of the underlying disease and its exacerbations.
Drug therapy is not the same for different forms, manifestations and the origin of heart failure. It should be performed against the background of physical activity limitations. In chronic heart failure, adequate medication should be permanent - unreasonable withdrawal often leads to decompensation.
Cardiac glycosides
Are indicated mainly in congestive heart failure, with atrial fibrillation, are given in doses close to the maximum tolerated, with persistent heart failure - permanently.
Assign Digoxin, Celanide, Isolanide in tablets, Lantozide in drops. Parenteral administration of short-acting drugs( Strofantin, Korglikon) is carried out in the first days of treatment of the most severe patients with a subsequent transition to taking drugs inside.
Digitalis
The most important of cardiac agents is digitalis, the drugs from which are used to treat chronic pulmonary heart failure for three hundred years. The main indication for the use of digitalis is chronic heart failure with the phenomena of tachycardia.
Apply digitalis in the form of a powder inside. Distinguish complete( 0.1 g three times a day) and incomplete( 0.05 g 2-3 times a day) dose of the drug. Of the other drugs, digitalis uses Lantozid( 15-20 drops 3 times a day), Digitoxin( 0.05-0.1 3 times a day).The most powerful in their actions are Strophantine( 0.3-0.5 mg) and Corligicon( used in the first days of treatment).Preparations are administered with glucose or saline( slow!).
Diuretics - diuretics
Not only in swelling, liver enlargement, obvious stagnant changes in the lungs, but also with latent fluid retention. Increased doses and frequency of use of a given drug should be preferred alternation( shift) or joint use of diuretics with different mechanisms of action and effects on the acid-base state.
On the effectiveness of therapy in addition to increasing daily diuresis, convergence edema is indicated by a reduction in dyspnea, a reduction in liver size. Assign Diuretin, Novurit 10% solution( 1-2 times a week for 1.0), Diakarb( Fonurit).It is given on 0.25-0.5 grams per day in the morning for 2-3 consecutive days.
A common diuretic is Hypothiazide( available in 0.25-0.5 and 1 g).
Peripheral vasodilators
Assign in more severe cases with insufficient efficacy of cardiac glycosides and diuretics in isolation or in conjunction with the preparations of these groups. Effective in congestive insufficiency, apressin( Hydralazine), Phenigidine, Nifedipine( Corinfar), Prazosin, Captopril.
Potassium preparations
Assign in the treatment of cardiac glycosides, diuretics and steroid hormones. They should be used with the appearance of ventricular extrasystoles, ECG signs of hypokalemia, with refractory to cardiac glycosides of tachycardia, with flatulence in seriously ill patients. The most expedient, though not always sufficient, is the provision of potassium requirements through an appropriate diet( prunes, dried apricots, apricots, apricot, peach, plum juice with pulp, etc.).
In the dystrophic stage, intravenously injected albumin, apply Essentiale, anabolic steroids - Retabolil. These drugs are contraindicated in prostatic adenoma, fibrotic mastopathy, neoplasms. The need for evacuation of fluid from the pleural cavity or pericardial cavity is an indication for emergency hospitalization.
To limit emotional stress, when insomnia is prescribed tranquilizers - Sibazon( Diazepam), Nozepam( Tazepam).
Vitaminotherapy is of great importance in the treatment of pulmonary insufficiency. The patient is prescribed vitamins B1, C, PP.
In severe forms of insufficiency and pulmonary edema, ganglion blockers are used( Hexonia solution).
How to treat heart failure?
If the heart is difficult to pump blood, then it is a heart failure syndrome. A number of diseases, such as cardiac ischemia, hypertension, obesity, etc., can contribute to the development of heart failure. More than 10% of the older population suffer from it, but young people can also suffer. How to treat cardiopulmonary insufficiency, says Dr. Mikhail Shokhat, head of the hospital for heart failure hospital "Yalel Yafe" and Marina Gurtin, medical consultant.
