Love your heart to live longer


Care and love not only heals bruised mind but it also helps our body parts immensely. Not being harsh to your body, not putting too much stress on it helps in longer run. A healthy mind resides into a healthy body, they say. So true, if the body is not healthy then rest everything seem to be at discomfort. Take an example of simple headache, can we concentrate on any activity when we get headache? If we get a simple cut on little finger, the pain constantly reminds us of that wound and distracts us. However small the pain in the body is, it occupies our mind and then all our activities get influenced by it. Each and every part of our body is important in its own way; the nature has assigned peculiar function to all our organs and body parts. These parts carry out their functions properly in order to maintain routinely activities. For that matter, all the organs and parts important, but some organs are very much precious and without them we cannot survive. Heart is one of them. It is a pumping station of our body. It collects impure blood from entire body and passes it on for purification to our lungs. Controlling the blood flow to and fro the heart is done by arteries. Like every other organ heart also needs blood for its proper functioning. Coronary arteries(In french artères coronaires ) supply blood to various muscles of heart.

These arteries have thin wall made of tissues. Wrong eating habits, more consumption of processed food, less eating of raw and fibrous food leads to accumulation of plaque which turns into solid clots to block the blood flow. Such arterial narrowing ( In french le rétrécissement artériel ) leads to various problems arising due to low blood supply to and from heart. Angioplasty is one of the most popular ways to remove such blockage. Most of the cardiac surgeons follow this treatment in order to avoid the bypass surgery and any other complicated medical treatment. If not taken good care of diet and our heart the accumulation gets recurred. It is always in our benefit to follow doctor’s advice for balanced diet, regular exercise, routinely check up of heart. cardiaque 
cardiac symptom(In French cardiaque symptome) a healthy heart leads to healthier life. When you are young at heart it shows in your acts and attitude, with a young and healthy heart within age is just another number.

Problem- free heart for healthy life


Our heart is the pumping station of our body which collects de- oxygenated blood from various parts of the body and passes it on to lungs and collects oxygenated blood from lungs to pass it on to various body parts. Human heart consists of various chambers and veins as well as arteries, all of which has been allocated important functions. Coronary arteries( In french artères coronaires ) are assigned to supply blood to the heart ventricles and left atrium. There are two main parts of these arteries, the left main and right coronary arteries. The left main artery divides into the left anterior descending artery and the circumflex branch. The right artery also supplies blood to the heart ventricles, as well as the right atrium and sinoatrial node (Source, medical website NYP). The arteries are made of thing muscle tissues which are flexible and soft. The calories accumulated by various sources get accumulated around these artery walls and turns into a plaque. This plaque then turns into heavy clot like substance which leads to blocking the artery or arterial narrowing ( In french le rétrécissement artériel ), a medicinal name for this disease.

There are various types of treatments available depending on the severity of the blockage. For lighter blockage an angioplasty is carried out where a charterer having balloon- like equipment is inserted into body and then the blockage is cleared. This treatment has very less shelf life if not taken proper care or not followed the prescribed rules by the doctor. For more severe blockage a by-pass surgery is carried out. For avoiding these blockages physicians prescribe many natural and easy remedies like regular exercising, consuming healthy food, practicing meditation and breathing control exercise and living a stress free life and so on. Our roles add lots of stress on us as well as on our heart. But following these exercises can relieve us bit. It is always recommended to practice healthy living habits from the childhood to avoid any undue incidents in adulthood. cardiaque cardiac symptom(In French
cardiaque symptome) we are born with a healthy heart, our habits add troubles and eventually we ourselves are left to suffer. So retaining the natural state of heart, not having one of the best treatments for cardiac illnesses should be our prime goal. Healthy living is definitely a call for today’s tech savvy generation which succumbs easily to pressures.

Taking care of heart with heart and soul

Heart is important in almost all the matters. Putting heart and soul into something will produce desired results. When heart melts, things take positive turn.

It is just as big as your fist yet has the strength to push blood flow to the tip and toe of body. Arteries, the strong veins, support heart in this act. They are the pipeline to and from the heart. They are made of thin yet strong tissues. Sometimes due to accumulation of fats, development of fibrous tissues thin walls of arteries become thick and their efficiency is reduced.

This plaque thickens the artery walls and affects blood supply to various body parts, eventually hampering the efficiency of those parts. Hereditary and age factor plays important role in developing the arterial problems(problèmes artériels). Elders are more prone to such chronic diseases. But hectic and stressful lifestyle, wrong dietary habits, less physical excursion in the form of exercise, kids not playing outdoor games invite these diseases at very early stage.

These problems are very much damaging to body. Prevention is always better than cure. One can do just the opposite of the causes to prevent these problems. Eating right, following daily exercise routine, meditating and learning to deal with stress effectively are some key points to remember in fighting against accumulation of plaque in artery. Consuming raw fruits and vegetables are known for improving the overall health. There are various fruits having special cardiac symptom(In French cardiaque symptome) properties to fight against particular problems like grapefruit has potential to help in overcoming the heart problems. It is a citrus fruit and is rich in contains of vitamin C. Consuming grapefruits regularly can have good effect on curing heart related problems. Many people find it troublesome peeling the fruit and eating it, science has developed a nectar in the form of essence of grapefruit(essence de pamplemousse), which has all the good properties of this fruit yet saves you from the time consuming and tedious efforts as well as lets you have the benefits. But it is recommended to consult your doctor beforehand.

The writer is an expert on articles of cardiovascular disease(maladies cardiovasculaires) and has written several articles on it.

Blocking the Blood Flow of the Heart

Our lifestyles are full of so many things which seem to be normal to us but actually they are stressing on us and we tend to realize this only after they take extreme shape in our bodies. Diseases like cancer only happen due to the irritation of some particular area in the body but we never realize it in the initial stage, it’s only after some time has passed and there has some kind of stage which has taken shape, it occurs and this is a very traumatic experience. There is one more thing which is not very prominent when it is starting to appear in the body but it is noticeable only after there are the heart attacks or the heart pains or a burning sensation in the heart. Some of the disease of arterial narrowing (le rétrécissement artériel) of the body is known as the Atherosclerosis.

In this type of the disease it is very common scene where the blood to the heart does go in a smooth flow as there is swelling in the arteries which carry the blood to heart and thus it leads to pain or the discomfort in the heart and its state. There are many names of this disease like it is also called ASVD which is arteriosclerotic vascular disease. The reason behind thickening of the artery wall is the deposit of the fatty material such as cholesterol and thus as this stuff gets roomed there, the blood flow gets hindered and that is where the whole disorder starts.

It is not the scenario that the disease occurs in people of the elder age only, the case is that it occurs in all the age groups that is it also seen that the teenage kids have seen noticeable cases of this disease and hence it does limit up to only the old age group of the early fifties of the age group. Hence we have make sure that we don’t exceed the required amount cardiac symptom(In French cardiaque symptome) of cholesterol in the body otherwise it will lead to such diseases which can also take a very shape in your life and sometimes in extreme cases; it takes away the life of the person too. So be concerned about what you eat and what could be the cholesterol content in it as it could block your coronary arteries(artères coronaires) which supply blood to the heart.

Arterial problems - risk your health

When the blood vessels narrow down because of accumulation of fatty deposits it leads to arterial problems. As your arteries harden blood flow to the brain gets restricted. You suffer from cardio-vascular problems which puts your life at high risk. To escape from this condition you need early detection and subsequent treatment. However early detection is only possible when you experience symptoms that signify that your arteries are having problems but more than that you must be aware about those symptoms.

This is the time that you should approach a doctor for diagnosis.

Usually a normal check up can unravel the truth whether you are having arterial problems (problèmes artériels)or not. The doctor uses his stethoscope to determine or diagnose the problem. However this form of test may not be accurate so for better confirmation diagnostic tools like Doppler Ultrasound Imaging are used. By means of sound waves blood flow is tested and the thickness of arteries is measured.

Nowadays people are very conscious about their health and take pains to remove impurities from the body by means of natural supplements. Essence of grapefruit is one such natural product which has many health benefits. There are lots of unwanted substances in the body cardiac symptom(In French cardiaque symptome) and you can eliminate these with the help of an anti-oxidant.

Arterial narrowing- a fatal disease

Coronary arteries disease is caused by the accumulation of plaque, which in turn results in Arterial Narrowing, thus blocking the free flow of blood to the heart. The plaque is formed due to the presence of too much cholesterol, fibrous tissue, calcium and dead cells in the arteries, which causes the blockade. The Coronary Arteries disease is the most common type life- threatening heart ailment, which causes the death of most number of males and females around the world due to Arterial narrowing.

Symptoms of Coronary Arteries(artères coronaires) disease includes chest pain called angina, which is felt on various part of the chest, pain in abdomen, back or arm, fatigue during any kind of activities and shortage of breath even when the patient is not doing any kind of activities. Mainly the causes for the Coronary disease are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, over weight and also for smoking and consuming alcohol, which causes the Arterial Narrowing and sometimes the results can be fatal as well.

Coronary arteries disease can be identified by conducting an electrocardiogram (EKG), which tracks the electric impulses, that travels towards the heart and measure whether there are any irregularities in its function. By using sound waves, EKG gets the picture of the heart to spot any blocked arteries. However, there are certain precautions one should follow at home to prevent Arterial narrowing(le rétrécissement artériel).

The first vital thing is to have a check on your food habits. You should avoid high cholesterol food, Trans fat, saturated fats, animal products, dairy products. cardiac symptom(In French cardiaque symptome) discard all kinds of junk food, processed food and deep-fried items from your diet.

Taking Care of Arteries Is important For Our Wellbeing


In a normal human body, blood vessels are that part of the circulatory system of human anatomy , the main function of which is to transport blood throughout the human body. There are three kinds of blood vessels in our body namely arteries which carry blood away from the heart, capillaries which are responsible for the exchange of water and chemicals taking place between tissues and blood and last but not the least veins which help in carrying the blood from capillaries back towards heart. Arteries the therefore have a major function to perform in our body to ensure our survival which means arteries are a very important part of a human body and if arteries are affected by any disease, they can sure pose a great danger for our wellbeing.

The most dangerous thing that can happen to our arteries is atherosclerosis or in common language narrowing of arteries where our arteries hardens and narrows down because of the deposition of fat on the walls of arteries which reduces the flow of blood. Arterial narrowing(le rétrécissement artériel) is fatal to human beings as a reduction in flow of blood can cause heart attack, stroke or angina or chest pain when one’s heart muscle does not get enough blood which is rich in oxygen.


The type of arteries which gets maximum affected by atherosclerosis is coronary arteries (artères coronaires) as they are already narrow and its common for them to get blocked and cause the above mentioned diseases which can even cause death. If a person is suffering from cardiovascular diseases which have occurred because of the narrowing of arteries, the first and the foremost advice given to the individual after diagnosis is to give up smoking if he or she does it and take up exercises on a regular basis.

Medicines are prescribed by the doctor in such cases only when the disease cannot be cured by simple measures and the medicines given cardiaque cardiac symptom(In French cardiaque symptome) to the patients are often patented and expensive but care should be taken that they do not show any side effect after the consumption of these medicines. Surgeries like angioplasty is done on the patient that helps in expanding narrowed arteries whereas bypass surgery helps in creating additional blood supply connections which go around the arteries which have narrowed down. It is always said that prevention is better than cure so one should take care of his or her body from the very beginning by exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy diet.
