Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Tachycardia comes from the Greek words tachys (rapid or accelerated) and kardia (of the heart). Tachycardia typically refers to a heart rate that exceeds the normal range for a resting heartrate (heartrate in an inactive or sleeping individual). When the heart beats rapidly, the heart pumps less efficiently and provides less blood flow to the rest of the body, including the heart itself. The increased heart rate also leads to increased work and oxygen demand for the heart (myocardium), which can cause a heart attack (myocardial infarction) if it persists. This occurs because the decreased flow of necessary oxygen to the heart causes myocardial cells to begin to die off. Acutely, this leads to angina; and chronically to ischemic heart disease. ...

Auszug: Das Ödem (v. griechisch , oidema, „Schwellung") oder die „Wassersucht" ist eine Schwellung des Gewebes aufgrund einer Einlagerung von Flüssigkeit aus dem Gefäßsystem. Ist das Gleichgewicht zwischen Filtration einerseits und Resorption sowie Lymphabfluss andererseits zugunsten der Filtration verschoben, so bleibt vermehrt Flüssigkeit im Gewebe. Die Folge ist eine Wasseransammlung im Interstitium: ein Ödem. LidödemÖdeme sind meist Folge einer zugrundeliegenden Erkrankung, also im engeren Sinne ein Symptom, z. B. bei einer Herz- oder Niereninsuffizienz, oder einer Leberzirrhose. Venöse Abflussstörungen können zu lokalisierten Ödemen führen, eine Beinvenen-Thrombose z. B. kann zu einer Schwellung des betroffenen Beins führen. Wird die Flüssigkeit im Gewebe nicht ausreichend über die Lymphbahnen abgeführt, so nennt man dieses ein Lymphödem. Weiterhin kommt es zum Ödem, wenn die Konzentration von Bluteiweißen (Albuminen) abnimmt (Hypoalbuminämie). Das geschieht z. B. beim Hungerödem (zu geringe Eiweißzufuhr) und beim nephrotischen Syndrom, das durch hohe Eiweißverluste über die Niere gekennzeichnet ist. Die austretende Flüssigkeit ist hierbei eiweißarm und wird Transsudat genannt. Durch entzündliche oder allergische Prozesse kann es zu einer erhöhten Durchlässigkeit der Kapillaren kommen. Die hierbei ins Gewebe austretende Flüss...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=42847 ... Read more
