Life Threatening Critical Illness<\/a><\/h3>
Life Threatening Critical Illness \n\n Critical illness is a disease condition that appears suddenly, gets worse quickly and requires treatment as soon as possible because it can be life threatening. Based on the Basic Health Research Report (Riskesda), critical illness is included in non-communicable diseases that are not caused by bacteria or viruses. These diseases which are classified as critical illnesses generally appear suddenly due to years of unhealthy lifestyles such as poor diet, smoking habits and lack of physical activity. \n\n The following types of diseases are classified as critical illnesses: \n\n 1. Cancer \n\n Cancer is a non-communicable disease characterized by the presence of abnormal cells/tissues that are malignant, grow quickly and uncontrollably and can spread to other places in the patient's body. \n\n Humans have aging or abnormal body cells and usually die and are replaced by new cells so that they can function normally again. However, when there are irregularities in the cell life cycle process, such as new cells are still being produced but old and abnormal cells do not die and are replaced, then that's when cancer can occur. Cancer cells are malignant and can invade and damage the function of these tissues. The spread of cancer cells can be through blood vessels or lymph vessels. Cancer cells can come from all the elements that make up an organ, on their next journey they can grow and multiply to form a tumor mass. \n\n Here are easy steps to recognize the signs and symptoms of cancer: \n\n \n Timing of defecation or urination and changes in habits or disturbances \n The digestive system is disturbed and it is difficult to swallow \n Hoarseness or cough that doesn't go away \n Breast or elsewhere there is a lump (tumor) \n Andeng-andeng (mole), which changes its nature to become large and itchy \n Blood or mucus that is abnormal from the body \n There are scabs or ulcers that don't want to heal \n \n\n 2. Strokes \n\n Stroke is a condition that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted or reduced due to a blockage (ischemic stroke) or rupture of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). Without a blood supply, the brain will not get oxygen and nutrients, so cells in some areas of the brain will die. This condition causes parts of the body that are controlled by damaged brain areas to not function properly. \n\n The following are easy steps to return to the symptoms and signs of a stroke (immediately go to the hospital) \n\n \n An asymmetrical smile (turned to one side), choking, difficulty swallowing drinking water all of a sudden \n The movement of half of the limbs suddenly weakens \n slurred speech / suddenly can't talk / can't understand words / speech doesn't connect \n Numbness or numbness, or tingling in half of the body \n Myopic, blurred vision in one eye, occurs suddenly \n Severe headaches that appear suddenly and have never been felt before, Impaired balance function, such as spinning, movements are difficult to coordinate. \n \n\n Stroke is an emergency condition that needs to be treated as soon as possible, because brain cells can die in just minutes. Quick and appropriate treatment measures can minimize the level of brain damage and prevent possible complications. \n\n 3. Heart disease \n\n Coronary heart disease is a condition when the heart's blood vessels (coronary arteries) are blocked by fatty deposits. At first, this condition may not cause symptoms. However, complete blockage of the coronary arteries can cause a heart attack. Coronary arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. Fat deposits in the coronary arteries make these blood vessels narrow and harden. As a result, blood flow and oxygen intake to the heart muscle is reduced. \n\n When oxygen intake is reduced, the heart muscle can be damaged so that its ability to work is also limited. This is what causes heart attack symptoms, such as chest pain and shortness of breath. \n\n Coronary heart disease begins when there is a buildup or fatty plaque (atherosclerosis) in the coronary arteries. Many factors can increase the risk of this condition, including: Age, Gender, Heredity/race, Smoking, Dyslipidemia, Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Lack of physical activity, Overweight and obesity, Unhealthy diet, Stress, Alcohol consumption excess \n\n 4. Kidney failure \n\n The kidney is an organ located behind the abdominal cavity, below the liver and has a bean-like shape. The main function of the kidneys is to filter the blood which will produce waste or excess fluid which will later be excreted through the urine. \n\n Kidney failure is a condition of decreased kidney function in filtering waste from the body's metabolic waste from the blood and excreting it in the urine. This condition causes dangerous levels of toxins and fluids to settle in the body and can be fatal if left untreated. \n\n In the early phase, kidney failure often doesn't show any symptoms and can only be detected through laboratory tests. However, this disease can develop very quickly so that the sufferer experiences several symptoms, such as; shortness of breath, fatigue and difficulty sleeping, nausea, vomiting, change in frequency of urination, high blood pressure. \n\n So Hermina's friends are the types of diseases that fall into the critical illness category that we must be aware of. Do not let our daily bad lifestyle and habits become a boomerang that threatens our own lives. \n\n Remember, don't be afraid to immediately go for an examination or consult a doctor if Hermina's best friend experiences symptoms or signs that lead to the critical illness above, so that you can identify it quickly and get the right treatment. \n\n \n\n \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Many Artists Die Young, Avoid Underestimating These Heart Attack Symptoms<\/a><\/h3>
The Indonesian music entertainment stage is now in mourning. Kahitna vocalist or often called Carlo Saba has breathed his last. \n\n The cause of Carlo Saba's death at the age of 54 is thought to be a heart attack. Previously Carlo was hospitalized due to collapse after his stage act. It should be noted that the majority of heart attacks are caused by coronary artery disease. this condition occurs when the arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the heart muscle are blocked by fatty substances. \n\n This can occur due to cholesterol-containing deposits called plaques. The plaque can block the arteries, resulting in reduced blood flow to the heart. When the plaque ruptures, it can cause blood clots in the heart. \n\n This blockage process is known as atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is most likely to occur at a young age and gets worse when a person is in their 50s. But blocked blood vessels are not the only cause of heart attacks. There are several other causes such as spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD), coronary artery spasm, certain infections and risk factors. The risk factors for heart attack are: \n\n \n Age Factor \n Age is one of the factors that affect heart disease, especially in someone aged 45-55 years and above will be more at risk of heart attack than someone younger. \n Smoking \n The bad habit of smoking will increase the risk of having a heart attack by two or three times compared to someone who does not smoke. This habit will cause free radicals that cause blood vessel walls to be damaged. \n Hypertension \n As blood pressure increases, so does the risk of having a heart attack. Hypertension can damage the arteries leading to the heart. Hypertension accompanied by other diseases such as cholesterol will also further increase the risk of heart disease. \n High bad cholesterol \n High levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol or bad cholesterol can cause narrowing of the heart arteries. LDL is known as the bad cholesterol because it adversely affects a person's health when it exceeds normal levels. \n Obesity \n Obesity can worsen the state of the body's organ systems. It causes the heart to work harder in someone who is overweight because blood volume and pressure increase. Obesity is also associated with several co-morbidities such as diabetes, cholesterol etc. \n Diabetes \n People with diabetes can develop heart disease at a relatively young age. If diabetes is coupled with high glucose levels, it can cause cholesterol. \n Blood sugar will rise if a person's body cannot produce insulin or cannot use it properly. So high blood sugar will increase the risk of heart attack. \n Family history of heart attack \n Genetic factors affect the response of body cells to external factors that accelerate plaque growth and narrowing of blood vessels. This risk will increase if there is someone in the family who has heart disease at a young age. The family includes siblings, mother and father. \n Lack of exercise \n \n Lack of exercise increases the risk of heart disease, as it causes fat to clog and weaken blood vessels. This will further exacerbate the risk when not balanced with an active lifestyle of moving, sitting or lying down a lot. \n Unhealthy diet \n If you eat unhealthy foods such as foods containing fat, high sugar, fast food, and salt will increase the risk of heart attack. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, fiber and healthy oils. \n \n\n Immediately consult your heart health problems with a heart specialist, a heart doctor can help patients detect heart disease early. Early detection of heart disease is much more important to prevent the patient's condition from getting worse due to heart problems. As we age, the heart's performance decreases and risk factors can accumulate. Schedule a consultation and check-up to know exactly the condition of your heart. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Come on, do you know what coronary heart disease is?<\/a><\/h3>
Coronary Heart Disease or commonly abbreviated as CHD is a disorder of heart function due to a lack of blood in the heart muscle due to a blockage or narrowing that occurs in the coronary arteries due to damage to the lining of the blood vessel walls (atherosclerosis). \n\n Coronary arteries are coronary arteries that carry oxygen-rich blood to the heart. These coronary arteries branch from the aorta (large blood vessel). There are two types of coronary arteries, namely the left coronary artery and the right coronary artery. \n\n The left main coronary artery serves to drain blood to the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart. Meanwhile, the right artery serves to drain blood to the right atrium and right ventricle of the heart. The accumulation of fat in the coronary arteries causes the narrowing and thickening of the coronary arteries. This condition causes the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart to be reduced so that it can cause symptoms called coronary heart disease. \n\n \n\n CHD Causes and Symptoms \n\n Coronary heart disease can occur when blood flow to the heart is blocked. Many factors can increase the risk of this happening, including having an unhealthy diet, smoking, or suffering from certain diseases, such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure, heredity, unhealthy diet, and excessive alcohol consumption. \n\n The symptoms felt are complaints of discomfort in the chest or chest pain (angina) that lasts for more than 20 minutes at rest or during activities, accompanied by symptoms of chills or other symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, and weakness. \n\n • Chest pressure \n\n • Chest pain \n\n • Chest heaviness \n\n • Nausea or heartburn \n\n • Cold sweat and burning sensation \n\n \n\n Prevention and Treatment \n\n To overcome coronary heart disease (CHD), doctors can prescribe drugs for sufferers. However, if the drug is not effective, it will be continued with surgery. \n\n Coronary heart disease can be prevented by implementing a healthy lifestyle, among other things, by exercising regularly and eating a healthy diet. Furthermore, it is mandatory to have your health condition checked with a doctor on a regular basis. \n\n Therefore, you should routinely carry out health checks such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar at the nearest health care facility. And do not forget to adopt a healthy lifestyle to prevent coronary heart disease. Immediately contact the health officer if Sahabat Hermina experiences symptoms of coronary heart disease so that she can immediately get the right treatment from health workers. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
