niiskuskahjustuse

Niiskuskahjustuse, also known as diastolic heart failure, is a medical condition where the heart's ability to pump blood is impaired due to high blood pressure. This condition occurs when the heart's left ventricle becomes stiff and is unable to relax and fill properly with blood during diastole, the relaxation phase of the heartbeat.

Causes of niiskuskahjustuse can vary, but are often linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and kidney disease. If left untreated, niiskuskahjustuse can lead to severe consequences, including cardiac arrest, heart failure, and even death.

Symptoms of niiskuskahjustuse can be subtle at first and may resemble those of hypertension. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, especially during physical activity, fatigue, swelling in the legs, ankles, and feet, and palpitations.

Diagnosing niiskuskahjustuse typically involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests, such as echocardiograms and electrocardiograms. Treatment for niiskuskahjustuse typically focuses on managing and controlling high blood pressure, often through the use of medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, and diuretics.

Monitoring and managing niiskuskahjustuse can be achieved through regular check-ups with a healthcare provider, keeping track of blood pressure and other vital signs, adhering to medication regimens, and making lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, engaging in regular exercise, and avoiding smoking. Researchers continue to explore new treatment options and ways to improve the diagnosis and management of niiskuskahjustuse.
