i never had a dog with a heart desiease but my freind did she got a pure bred very prettty border collie .. she asked if the puppy was healthy they said yes at the pet store 2 weeks later they ended up putting her down because the puppy had very bad heart worm .. those stupid pet store people they sell any pup just to get some money !!!! ugh i never got a ppet at the pet store and im glad !!
2 :
I guess you brought him to the vet for the cough? that;s ewhat brought me to the vet.my dog had a heart murmur and it was one of the bad kinds,If they gave him water pill or the name they call them in medical terms to get the fluid off his lungs ; which causes the coughing.the cough will lighten up for awhile; but with my dog poodle he lived 5months after i found out of his congestive heart failure.some dogs go longer ;some sooner depends on how bad he has it.mine after a while started having seizures and would lay there confused after that,He started really suffering where he couldn;t even get up to pee without gagging and choking ' so after awhile he had to be forced to get up.I finally had to go to the vet to be put down.I took peanut that morning to get fried chicken; skin and all and he ate 1 breast .Then we went to the vet and they let me hold peanut while they gave him 2 shots and he died in my arms.I;m crying now just writing this,Just try to act normal as they sent out stress and it;s not good for their condition.I;ll pray for you and your beautiful friend/family member as that;s what they are to us,If you need anything i can tell or help you with email me on my stats page ok,,, good luck and god bless you and your baby,,,,,,,, Shelly in Seattle

What kind of heart disease? If you are talking about heart failure, or CHF, then there is no cure, and the heart will get progressively weaker. With heart failure, the cough is caused by fluid build up in the lungs. The vet will give you heart medications to help the heart to pump more efficiently and diuretics (water pills) to pull the fluid off, and the cough should get better and hopefully even go away entirely, at least for the short term. Heart failure can be managed with diet and exercise, but not cured. There are also other forms of heart disease in dogs as well, such as heartworm. In this case, there is actual damage to the heart muscle which will remain even if the heartworms are treated successfully and killed, and the dog will always have the cough. Without knowing the type of heart disease your dog has, it's hard to say to what to expect, but I do wish you well

Okay. Which would be the correct Christian response to a diagnosis of heart disease

Okay. Which would be the correct Christian response to a diagnosis of heart disease?
A) "Our hearts were designed to last forever, but Adam screwed up. Now our Brother Roy is suffering the consequences." B) "Roy smoked all those years and ate every other meal at McDonald's. Can't abuse your body like that and expect to live past 50," C) "Foul Spirit of Heart Disease, I command you, in the name of Jesus, to LOOSE Brother Roy from your evil clutches!" A, B or C?

A and B unless Roy is demon possessed and the demon is making Roy smoke and eat at McDonalds.
2 :
A or C.
3 :
C.
4 :
D) It's God's will to let Roy suffer and possibly die. Despite living a good life and being a moral person, God is going to give him heart disease so he die and be forgiven of his original sins which God created.
5 :
b
6 :
I would say "B". Infirmities creep up even on those that live and eat healthy. Our bodies are not designed to last forever. God is more interested in your spiritual health than in keeping a body that is going to die sooner or later healthy.
7 :
Christian or not, heart disease is a physical condition that can affect anyone, male or female, young or old. Whether it's you or someone else, accepting it and understanding it is a challenge. It's the same with any physical condition. One day we will all die. However, life is about living. There is no black or white answer. We do all that our integrity dictates with every breath we are blessed with. Then, we say goodbye.

None of these would be my response. I would ask God to show me how to best manage the disease in order to best live - or die - in a way most pleasing to Him.

Just to share a thought because I'm not sure, but I believe that pharmacists specialize in medication. You need to know what the meds are for and what side effects they can have, and also if they interact with other medications. You should know what other medicines your customers are on in order to help them avoid problems. You may well be able to specialize in heart disease treatment and medications, and it would be good experience to have those clinicals, but you may be limiting your job options if you stick strickly to that field. Like I said, just sharing a thought. Definitely check out your options. Good luck.
2 :
if you are a pharmacist no you can't specialize but if you asking about going back to school and that takes along time going through med school after you are a md then you can
3 :
Pharmacists can and do specialize. Search for the Pfizer Pharmacy Career Guide. You more than certainly can do a residency or fellowship in a speciality

Is there any online heartbeat calculater to know if you have heart disease

Is there any online heartbeat calculater to know if you have heart disease?
I'm 13, But sometimes I feel my heart isn't fast enough. I need some kind of test I could do, and results that I could refer to. Thanks.

All you need to do is check your pulse a various times of the day and write that number down. You pulse will vary depending on what you are doing such as exercise, sitting still etc. Also there is no specific pulse that is really normal as everyone is different. So long as your pulse is about the 50's you are fine.
2 :
Ok, first of all, there are no calculators, you just take your pulse. Secondly, a slow heart rate is NOT a disease... and it's rarely serious. There are many types of dysrhythmias (odd heartbeats) and several have to do with slow heart rates. The only way to know for sure is to have an EKG, which is a non invasive, not at all painful way for them to track the electricity in your heart. Heres a test you can do on your own: Put your forefinger and middle finger on your wrist, between the bones until you can feel a little thud...that's your pulse. Find a clock that has a second hand (hand that count the seconds) start counting the thuds, count them for 60 seconds. That's how many times your heart beats in one minute. If it's between like 60-80 it's considered normal, if it's not, well, then, it's not 'normal' but that doesn't always mean anything. Usually, a slow heart rate is only a problem if you feel dizzy or you faint or your blood pressure is too low or your tired all the time. If you want to know more about it, E-Mail me

why is it like this in rheumatic heart disease

why is it like this in rheumatic heart disease?
why is it that the GAHBS (group A beta-hemolytic streptococci) ONLY affect the LEFT side of the heart and not the right side in rheumatic heart disease?

The source of your information is slightly erroneous. Many years after rheumatic fever, aortic and mitral stenosis (valve disease on the left side) can occur; however, although less commonly, tricuspid or pulmonary valves (on the right) may also be involved with stenosis (narrowing) and/or regurgitation (leaking

I am constantly tired and can sleep 12 hours and still wish for more sleep, daily. Could these be symptoms of heart disease. I am also under alot of stress due to my home being in foreclosure and recently having been laid off for the 3rd time within the last year, could these be signs of stress or anxiety?

If you even suspect this, go see your doctor.

Como estas ustd con mi amiga. I am very sorry to hear about your troubles. It also could be symptoms of sleep apnea. I am not a doctor. But I do experienced same symptoms as you did. Best thing, consult a physician. Ask him/her to do a slep apnea test and also make sure your heart is okay. A heart check up can be done, by MRI (Most expensive one) or EKG less expensive or even through an Ultra sound maschine. I have always opted for the less expensive version, if it was visible. Good luck to you Senora. About your house problem, please go to your bank and or housing authorities in your state, called "Hud"> or seek legal representation through Legal Aid, which is for people with low income. Hasta luego. Adios.

U could have a stroke. U should see a doctor. My grandpa had the same symptoms .. he felt pain in his chest and was very very tired ... Be fast! :-)

This could be any one of the three or all of the three I would see a doctor if you can. if it is a heart related problem waiting could do damage to your heart and your quality of life would not be great do not wait I did and regret it now .My heart was damaged severely when I had a heart attack

Why are so many Americans at risk for heart disease

Why are so many Americans at risk for heart disease?
I wanted to know your opinion of why Americans are at risk for heart disease....Thanks :)
Heart Diseases - 7 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Because most Americans sit around and eat fast food!
2 :
Overweight, eat too much fat, too much cholesterol, not enough exercise. And keep in mind that people have to die of something. Don't think that people in third world countries are much healthier than us because they aren't dying of heart disease. They aren't dying of heart disease because they're dying of Malaria, TB, and pneumonia.
3 :
2 words: fast food
4 :
risk factors for heart disease are a poor diet (leading to high blood pressure, high cholesterol), lack of exercise, and smoking. Although less than a quarter of us smoke, the majority are overweight or obese and we don't get any exercise. our mentality is way off, we drive every where, circling the parking lot for the closest spot, we use the elevator to go up 2 floors, we eat fast food because we all want to say we are too busy to cook. Our lifestyle is nothing to be proud of and it puts us at risk for heart disease and other diseases, such as diabetes.
5 :
Cuz most of them eat lots of bad foods, that have high cholesterol. Makes it worse when they don't exercise daily and deprive their heart its needed workout.
6 :
Fat eaters and obese country!
7 :
because Americans are overweight, don't exercise, and don't eat healthy

Is a sharp, diagonal crease in your earlobe always from heart disease or attack

Is a sharp, diagonal crease in your earlobe always from heart disease or attack?
My husband has just recently (last year) developed a diagonal crease in his ear lobe. He has had severe muscle pains in his legs but just recently after getting a massage and chiropractic adjustment was relieved of all of his leg pain completely. He is under stress due to his job-and his cholesterol is high-but does the ear lobe thing signify for sure heart trouble?

No, it may be Chinese medicine or some form of Chi, but I know of no relationship.
2 :
Many elderly people have creased earlobes and also a heart condition (sometimes undiagnosed). This is probably where the association originated. There is no scientific evidence that the two are related in any way. The stress and high cholesterol are known precursors to heart problems. If his work is also a sedentary desk job, his risk is increased. There is no better time than right now to take steps to reduce that risk in any way he can. Watch his nutrition carefully, reduce fat and sugar intake and eat heart healthy foods such as fish and veggies. Exercise, if it only involves walking a mile or two a day. Find a way to better deal with the stress of his job. While several of these factors may not seem very important right now and are of no immediate concern, it is better to prevent a heart attack than to have to deal with the aftermath of one
