SUN 10 TO 5 By Marion Olsen Health Reporter Congestive heart failure is a term which confuses and frightens many people. It simply means that your heart cannot pump as ef­ ficiently as it once did. Heart attack, lung disease, rheumatic heart disease, hardening of the arteries and high blood pressure are among the causes of congestive heart failure. The condition causes the heart muscle to lose the strength to pump blood. When this happens the blood begins to back up in the chambers of. the heart, which in turn backs up into thgjungs Md body tissues such as the ankles. Vital organs receive less blood and the kidney react by retaining water and salt. Extra salt in the body causes fluid to be retained. Congestive heart failure occurs over a period of days or weeks. The symptoms include shortness of breath, swelling in the feet, ankles or abdomen, weight gain caused by the collection of fluid in the body, and ex­ treme fatigue. Treatment for this con­ dition is limed at reducing the demand on the heart, improving the pumping action and preventing Valley Hi Boasts Nursing Assistants sodim and water from being retained in the body. This "means! resl~ medication and diet. The doctor will decide if bed rest is required, but sufficient sleep and periods of mild exercise such as walking are usually prescribed. Three types of medication. are usually used for congestive' heart failure: digitalis which strengthens the force of the heart beat, diuretics to assist the body in removing excess sodium and water, arid vasodilators which relax the muscles in the walls of the arteries, making it easier for the heart to pump blood into the arteries. These drugs may be used together or separately depending on the patient's particular needs as ascer­ tained by the physician. A low-salt diet will be prescribed because the retention of salt causes water to accumulate in the tissues and create more work for the heart. With congestive heart failure, keeping on your prescribed medical regime is essential. Contacting the doctor if there is an increase in shortness of breath, swelling in the ankles, weight gain or extreme fatigue is important, as well. Take a walk on the wild side!
