-Obesity = more volume (fat) that must be supplied blood —> extra pressure on your heart to push blood further —> thickening of heart muscle
-Obesity is mostly caused by eating unhealthy foods whose main detriment to cardiovascular health is that these foods can turn into plaque that build up in the artieries in your heart (atherosclerosis; this usually is the cause of coronary artery disease)
-Another common health condition that can affect your cardiovascular health is a high salt diet. Since salt encourages the retaining of water in your blood, it increases the volume in your blood vessels, stretching them in much wider diameters than they would normally be able to handle
This in turn damages the inside of those blood vessels, and the tissue under the inside of the blood vessels likes to pick up chloesterol, which sticks to cholesterol, which can lead to blockages of plaque inside those arteries, potentially leading to the complete blockage of the artery. If this occurs in the heart, in can cause heart attack, as the heart will not receive enough oxygen from blocked blood flow and the heart cells will begin to die.
No, I looked it up and I believe no
Congestive heart failure, often known as heart failure, is a clinical illness defined by signs and symptoms of fluid overflow or insufficient tissue perfusion.
Heart failure is the inability of the heart to pump enough blood to fulfil the tissues' oxygen and nutritional requirements.
- The phrase heart failure refers to myocardial illness in which there is difficulty with heart contraction (systolic dysfunction) or heart filling (diastolic dysfunction), which may or may not produce pulmonary or systemic congestion.
- Heart failure is often a progressive, life-long illness that is controlled with lifestyle modifications and drugs to avoid bouts of acute decompensated heart failure.
MANAGEMENT OF HEART FAILURE
Pharmacologic Treatment
<u><em>Inhibitors of ACE.</em></u>
- ACE inhibitors delay the evolution of heart failure, increase exercise tolerance, reduce hospitalizations for heart failure, and promote vasodilation and diuresis by lowering afterload and preload.
<u><em>Blockers of the angiotensin II receptor.</em></u>
- ARBs inhibit angiotensin I conversion at the angiotensin II receptor, resulting in lower blood pressure, lower systemic vascular resistance, and enhanced cardiac output.
<u><em>Beta Blockers </em></u>
- Beta-blockers mitigate the negative consequences of persistent sympathetic nervous system activation.
<u><em>Diuretics.</em></u>
- In patients with indications and symptoms of fluid overload, diuretics are administered to eliminate excess extracellular fluid by raising the rate of urine production.
<u><em>Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs)</em></u>.
- CCBs produce vasodilation, which lowers systemic vascular resistance however, they are not recommended for individuals with systolic HF.

You can breathe through your mouth because your pharynx opens up to two cavities -- your nasal cavity (nose/nostrils) and your oral cavity (mouth).
