CARDITIS The inflammation of muscle tissue in the heart is called Carditis, and these inflammation is arranged into three different types of categories depending on the location of the inflammation. These different type of inflammation are known as Endocarditis, Myocarditis, and Pericarditis. Within the three categories they all have similar diagnosis and similar formulas in diagnosing the inflammation. Carditis are to be indicated as the inflammation of the heart muscle and Pancarditis is to be presented as the inflammation of the whole heart. Endocarditis The inflammation of the interior heart tissue or the endocardium is known as Endocarditis. To line inner cavities of the heart and to form the innermost tissue of the heart it has to be a collection of endothelium and …show more content…
Inflammation of the pericardium is identified as Pericarditis. The sac that is filled with fluid covering the heart and defending it is the pericardium. When the sac-like covering the heart or the pericardium becomes irritated it, then inflamed and caused pericarditis. Pericarditis may be defined as acute or chronic. Chronic pericarditis persists up to six months or longer while acute pericarditis it lasts in less than a few weeks. Both types of pericarditis symptoms can vary, but the common symptoms are sharp and piercing chest pain from the center or left side of the chest, shortness of breath when lying down, sensation of weakness and fatigue, fever in low grade, and swelling of legs or abdomen. Cause of Carditis Infection is mostly the cause of Carditis however, it can differentiate on its affected location. Endocarditis is caused mostly by bacteria that goes in the body which can be passed through oral activities, existing medical condition, and dental procedures. As for myocarditis it is caused by variations or different types of infections. These may include virus, sarcoidosis or inflammation of tissues of the body and it is also caused by immune disease and
Sepsis is the leading cause of shock and circulatory collapse, which can ultimately lead to death. (Conrad, 2015) Symptoms for sepsis include a temperature, a rapid heartbeat, fast breathing, dizziness, confusion or disorientation, and a reduced urine flow. (Healthdirect.gov.au, 2015) The spread of the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria to the heart can lead to an infection of the heart valves, known as endocarditis, which results in heart failure.
1.Congestive Heart Failure also known as (heart failure) is a life threatening condition. Heart Failure is caused when someone has a weak heart. It usually happens when the bodies blood pump to the heart is not pumping blood to the heart correctly.
This can lead to excessive fibrosis and cell death and may also result in dilated or restrictive cardioyopathy (Sisakian H.,2014). C ) SARCOIDOSIS : It is a disease resulting in granulomas formation in myocardium that cause restrictive cardiomyopathy and mostly leads to dilated cardiomyopathy ,also it can be found in patients with splenomegaly, skin rashes or having cardiomyopathy (Cleveland clinic. ,2014).
The disease is characterized by weakening of the ventricular myocardial muscle, resulting from elongation of myocytes accompanied by a vacuolar sarcoplasm and reduced myofibril density. [3] Weakening of the heart muscle results in a decreased stroke volume, leading to compensatory changes by a process called remodeling. The remodeling is characterized by elongation of myocytes by addition of sarcomeres, resulting in dilation -enlargement - of the heart while the wall thickness does not increase proportionally. This process of remodeling can spread to the other ventricle and to the atria. [4] The long-term effects of the remodeling are a further weakening of the heart muscle and it can eventually lead to heart failure.
CAUSES This condition is caused by: • A tiny hole in the wall of the heart. This normally closes
Carditis is an inflammation of the heart. 19. Atherosclerosis is a condition where the arteries are blocked with plaque and the blood flow decreases. This can cause heart attacks and strokes. 20.
This damage can make the heart unable to properly handle sudden demands such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, infection or water retention (Mayo Clinic, 2014). When the heart is unable to handle these sudden demands, fluid backs up into the lungs and collects in the alveolar sacs. A third cause of cardiogenic pulmonary edema is heart valve
Kawasaki Disease is the most common cause of acquired heart disease in children in the United States. It’s a disease that involves the skin, mouth and coronary blood vessels and affects children under the age of 5. There is no known cause but it usually happens during the late winter and early spring. The disease isn 't contagious and isn’t similar to any known diseases. If symptoms are recognized early children can recover in a few days, if left untreated it can lead to serious heart complications.
• Chest pain. These symptoms may be an indicator for many conditions, however, there are more specific signs to this including: Muscle disease symptoms such as: • Muscle weakness • cardiac pre-excitation, the type that is Wolf-Parlinson-White pattern •
When I was born, the doctors noticed something strange. Something wasn’t quite right with one of my organs. They looked into it and found that the problem was a weaker variation of Kawasaki disease. Kawasaki disease is a heart disease where the cells in your heart don’t recognize friendly cells and attack them, creating an inflammation. It’s a rare disease, found mostly in Japanese patients like me.
Rates of getting infections are high in the first year of life. A low incidence takes place throughout young adulthood and a gradual rise in incidence occurs with advancing age. Infective endocarditis incidence was originally 1.5 to 6 per 100,000 person in a year. It has increased to 16.6 per 100,000 person in a years in 2006. This was driven by an increase in the incidence of S. aureus infective endocarditis
TERMINOLOGY CLINICAL CLARIFICATION • A rare, nonspecific inflammatory disease that causes aortoarterial stenoses/occlusion or dilatation 2 CLASSIFICATION • Several systems of classiAcation have been used o By distribution - The Japanese distribution - typically affects the thoracic aorta and aortic arch with its branches 1 - The Indian distribution- affects the abdominal aorta and the renal arteries 1 o By clinical manifestations phase - Acute/Active- the associated inflammation causes symptoms such as fatigue, night sweats, anorexia and malaise 2 1 - Chronic/Inactive- symptoms are associated with the organs involved 2• 1 o The 1994 International Conference on Takayasu Arteritis classification 3 - Type 1- involves the aortic branches - Type
A heart attach is really just a severe coronary artery but this leaves scar tissue which later effects the hearts rhythm. Enlarged heart is when the heart walls stretch and enlarge or thicken causing heart tissue damage. Congenital heart disease

Like on 12K, their population is usually renal failure to heart failure. The cardiac insult has led to the renal insult, and so there is a difference in medications they are using to repair the original problem. On medical, a lot of times it is sepsis, so you are not a cardiac indicator for what is happening and more antibiotics and that type of
