Question

How long do it take to get heart disease? Im 22 what are my odds

Answer 1

Inflammation: Chronic inflammation is the problem, and the bodies reaction to the inflammation. It causes/adds to existing conditions in the blood vessels to hinder and eventually block blood flow. It is one of a number of factors that increase the risk of heart disease. Periodontal disease itself , alone, doesn't cause a specific heart injury.

Answer 2

Unknown variable: Research done so far has sown that people with gum disease are more likely to have heart disease than those with healthy gums. A large number of studies have been performed over the last two decades, but studies thus far have not shown the significant time period.

Answer 3

Periodontal disease: Your question should be how do I best take care of my teeth and gums so that I never get periodontal disease that could affect my heart. See your dentist, have your teeth cleaned and checked for gum disease. ANY gum disease can affect your heart. No time is "safe". If you have periodontal disease, seek treatment and be safe.

Answer 4

Blood pressure: Heart strain usually refers to a stiffening of the heart muscle in response to long-standing high blood pressure. It is best dealt with using certain types of BP meds to achieve really good BP control.

Answer 5

Probably: Hope it never comes to that! however small vsds generally cause few symptoms...Every case is different. Good question for a heart transplant specialist.

Answer 6

Chest pain: Chest pain can be for various reasons. Heart pain from a clogged blood vesses is usually described as heavy or squeezing. Chest pain that is sharp can be from your heart and this can be from the sack (pericarditis) or valvular pain. Pleurisy can be confused as chest pain. If you have risk factor age, cholesterol problems, hypertension, smoker. Probably worthwhile to check out.

Answer 7

CHF ?: I suspect you mean congestive heart failure. This disease means the heart is not pumping effectively and less than 50% is being pumped out with each beat.

Answer 8

Congestive heart fa: It seems like you have congestive heart failure. Cut down fluid intake and take a diuretics get an heart echocardiogram done to check ejection fraction and leaky valve.

Answer 9

Severe failure: Class 4 or stage 4 heart failure means very severe and a person has symptoms such as shortness of breath even at rest. The person always has symptoms and is physically limitted and virtually dependent on someone else for activities of daily living. He/she has high risk of death and really needs a heart transplant. Please consult doc if u/or someone u know have concern. Good luck.

Answer 10

Severe heart failure: It means the heart is not functioning very well, the patient will be unable to carry out any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms of cardiac insufficiency occur even at rest (shortness of breath among other things). If any physical activity is undertaken, discomfort is increased. Stage IV is the highest stage.
