Explaining the physical signs of heart failure in terms of the left side of the heart receiving blood from the lungs and the right side of the heart receiving blood from the systemic circulation.
I have Heart Failure of The Heart Muscle! My Heart itself is healthy! I have absolutely no problems with my arteries,no edema, whatsoever! I had a Pacemaker installed after I passed out from my heart rate being below 29 and doctors were unable to get my heart rate to stay above 40 with all medications possible to do so! My Muscle had gotten worse in 4 years so I now have a Pacemaker with defibrillator!
Toir well detailed lectures are a big relief in understanding the challenges. Thanks. Pls what can the patients do to reverse the disease or have a better outcome?
Hi Dr. John, please is this lecture the same as systolic and diastolic heart failure? also, please can you explain the concept map of severe heart failure
Dr Campbell or Anyone watching this could you tell me if the Japanese herb Natokinanase can help with the symptoms and fatigue caused by heart disease . Any information will be greatly appreciated
Dr. John Campbell i’ve got a question if you don t mind sir. Do you know if acesulfame K gets metabolised into our body if not what does our body do with it?
I don't think it is, as far as I know it is absorbed into the blood and excreted into the urine in an unchanged state. I think strangely, most artificial sweeteners raise blood sugar levels and I advise against them.
Dr. John Campbell Thank you very much sir! Also, Your videos are an inspiration to me and help me very much as i am learning for med school and you re explaining the hard stuff easy and clearly. Keep up the good work!
@@Campbellteaching but wouldn't that imply that pleural effusion would be more readily seen in right sided HF, as blood would tend to congest in the systemic veins and thus pleural veins?
Leads 3 and avR are negative, the is because any wave of depolarisation traveling towards a positive electrode gives an upward, positive deflection while any wave of depolarisation traveling away from a positive electrode gives a downward, negative deflection.@@saraahmed-ff7ju
@@Campbellteaching thank you so so much can i ask another question . to diagnosis myocarditis and pericarditis specific test is echo only i mean all another test it is unspecific
I’m starting not to buy this consensus explanation of left failure leading to right failure. The two ventricle pumps are in series, the only thing they share is needing to pump the same amount of blood. But if there is insufficient venous pressure to fill a ventricle before the next heart beat, there is nothing that ventricle can do other than pump the reduced amount of blood. It can’t ‘make up’ for the other’s failure and doesn’t need to pump harder either. Each ventricle is only concerned with overcoming its apportioned vascular resistance, that is the lungs for the right ventricle, and systemic circulation for the left. So left failure leading to right failure doesn’t seem correct. If anything, left failure would precede right failure if the heart was being continuously damaged, because the right ventricle has a much easier load than the left. Conversely, right failure doesn’t lead to left failure, because in those cases it is a lung circulatory resistance problem. As to the explanation that the pulmonary blood would backlog in left failure, and increase pressure to overcome on the right ventricle: the right can’t continually pump more blood than the left ventricle. Physically impossible. The right increasing pumping pressure would have zero impact on blood circulation, since the buck stops in the left ventricle. So from that point of view, let me just assume that backup due to hear failure never happens irl. Then pleural effusion or edema may not be a sign of ‘heart failure’ after all. The main mechanisms of edema are: thrombosis, too high blood pressure, missing blood proteins, and lymphatic problems. There are countless ways for lung damage to lead to increased pulmonary pressure. I think doctors love these stories where the body seemingly is doing something very stupid, because that’s a testament to the likelihood that the good doctor can fix it.
Always hilarious when I see a lay person who thinks they know more than the current consensus. You are clearly a lay person with a high school level education at best. Classic Dunning Kruger.
I thought having this disease was as a result of my old age, while I was diagnosed of heart disease Dec. 19 2020, I used series of medication but I was still having the severe pain, until I used an herbal mixture from Dr. Gbenga which I saw on RU-vid and I was completely cured, I appreciate Dr. Gbenga for his help
