The surgeon spoke about the effects of heart disease on other organs

The causes and conditions of heart disease are diverse and complex, and the consequences of such abnormalities can have different effects on the health of other important organs. Alexander Umnov, a lecturer at the Department of Surgery at the Medical Faculty of the State University of Education, told about this on Friday, August 1.

The specialist noted that a malfunction of the conduction system can lead to the formation of blood clots in the heart cavity, which can later break off and clog the lumen of the artery. According to him, this can cause a heart attack on any organ, for example, the ischemic type of brain or thrombosis of the superior mesenteric artery.

"Other heart pathologies can lead to increased blood pressure, which adversely affects the entire vascular tree, especially the glomerular apparatus of the kidneys," explained Umnov in a conversation with Lenta.Ru .

He added that then vascular spasm occurs, blood pressure rises, which can cause a hypertensive crisis.

The day before, the surgeon said that a stroke in the summer poses a threat to those who work in the garden, travel in stuffy transport and work in poorly ventilated rooms.

Earlier, on July 11, Yana Shmeleva, a therapist at the Vidnovo Hospital, said that completely avoiding salt consumption would help people with high blood pressure to tolerate the heat more easily.

In addition to dieting, air conditioners will help hypertensive patients in hot weather, and fans can be used to avoid sudden temperature changes. 360.ru .
