Cardiac pulmonary edema also known as congestive heart failure occurs when the diseased or overworked left ventricle isn't able to pump out enough of the blood it receives from your lungs. As a result, pressure increases inside the left atrium and then in the pulmonary veins and capillaries, causing fluid to be pushed through the capillary walls into the air sacs. Lungs contain numerous small, elastic air sacs called alveoli. With each breath, these air sacs take in oxygen and release...
The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, the lungs and two sets of vessels that run to all parts of your body, the arteries and the veins. 1. The arteries carry fresh oxygenated blood from the heart to feed all the cells of the body. 2. The veins pick up all the depleted blood which has exchanged its oxygen for the waste products of cell metabolism back through organs like the Kidneys, Liver and Spleen to clear out these waste products and return the purified blood to the...

Heart murmurs are often nothing more than a defect in a valve which has been there since birth and has been noted by your Doctor during regular checkups. Mostly, they just show a leaky valve and the heart usually compensates by growing a little larger and stronger, to compensate for the leakage. The recent appearance of an irregularity in beat or a heart murmur however, can signify that the heart has been put under strain from some illness, or that the nerve signals have become defic...
Arrhrythmia or atrial flutter are very fast electrical patterns that make the atria of the heart contract rapidly causing the ventricals to contract faster with less efficiency. Ventricular rhythms become irregular unable to keep up with the atria. These patterns may be intermittment or persistent, making it difficult to effectively pump blood out of the heart resulting in a fall of blood pressure and possible heart failure. Atrial fibrillation or flutter may occur with no other signs...
