About Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the vessels. Blood pressure is determined by the heart’s output and resistance to blood flow in the vessels. If either of these factors changes and there are no compensating changes, blood pressure will change.Blood pressure is a good measure of the health of a person's heart and blood vessels. Higher than normal blood pressure is called hypertension.
About Heart Failure
Heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure, is a long-term chronic condition in which the heart can no longer pump oxygen rich blood to the rest of the body. It can affect either the right or left sides of the heart, but more often than not both sides of the heart are involved. Heart failure is most often caused by coronary artery disease (CAD), which is when the small blood vessels that supply both blood and oxygen to the heart become constricted. Heart failure can also occur when an infection weakens the heart, this is called cardiomyopathy.
About Kidney Failure
Kidney or Renal Failure is when your kidneys are no longer functioning to remove waste chemicals and toxins from the blood stream. Kidney failure is typically detected by elevated creatinine levels, abnormal fluid levels in the body, deranged acid levels, abnormal levels of potassium, calcium or phosphate which can lead to anemia. There could also be blood or protein loss through urine. If not treated, renal failure can be fatal.
About Heart Disease
Heart disease is a blanket term for any type of disease that affects the heart. It can refer to coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, alcoholic cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, congenital heart disease, ischemic cardiomyopathy, hypertensive cardiomyopathy, valvular cardiomyopathy, inflammatory cardiomyopathy, myocardiodystrophy or any other number of heart diseases.
