Gluconite Customer Reviews-Can the heart repair itself after congestive heart failure?
by fiona basil (2021-05-19)
When the heart loses the ability to pump blood to all the cells of the body in an adequate way, maintaining the adequate supply of oxygen and nutrients, hundreds of problems begin to appear and unfortunately, if they are not treated properly, the signs of heart failure will become more evident and intense, compromising the life of the individual who suffers it.
What is heart failure?
Heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to maintain the body's demands or requirements, either at rest or during strenuous activity.
Signs of heart failure
The signs of heart failure are universally recognizable and become obvious to the untrained eye when this condition is not adequately treated or is decompensated.
Not all signs of heart failure will be present early in the disease, as the heart may fail only during intense exercise and progress until it is unable to maintain or meet the requirements at complete rest.
How to treat heart failure?
The way you treat heart failure is made up of two fundamental categories.
Non-pharmacological management or lifestyle modifications
Pharmacological management
Diabetes is a metabolic disease in which there's a problem with insulin (a hormone). It can affect your health in many ways. In type 2 diabetes, not enough insulin is released into the bloodstream, or the insulin can’t be used properly. In type 1 diabetes, the body only produces very little insulin, or none at all.
