The heart is the central organ of the cardiovascular system, pumping blood through the pulmonary and systemic circulations. The heart beats (expands and contracts) 100,000 times per day, pumping 5 or 6 quarts of blood each minute, or about 2,000 gallons…
Interesting Facts About The Human Heart

1. Your heart can weigh between 7 and 15 ounces.
A man’s heart weighs, on average, around 10 ounces and a woman’s heart is around 8 ounces.

2. Newborn babies have the fastest heart beats.
A newborn’s heart rate is around 70 to 190 beats per minute. The average adult should have a resting heart rate between 60 and 100 beats per minute.

3. Your heart beats around 100,000 times a day.
The average, healthy human heart beats around 100,000 times per day to pump blood through your body.

4. Heart attacks happen most often on Monday mornings.
Stress hormones are higher in the mornings than at any other point during the day, and Mondays in particular seem to cause people more stress than other days of the week.

5. A β€œbroken heart” can feel like a heart attack.
Intense and sudden feelings of sadness can mimic the symptoms of a heart attack, also known as "broken heart syndrome."

Heart diseases is an general term for any condition that affects the structure or function of the heart.

Heart disease types include:

β€’ Coronary artery disease: Fatty deposits make your heart’s blood vessels narrow.

β€’ Arrhythmias: Abnormal heart rhythms keep your heart from beating in a coordinated way.

β€’ Heart valve diseases: Valves that are too narrow or don’t close right reduce blood flow.

β€’ Cardiomyopathy: Stiff or thickened heart muscle can’t pump blood well.

β€’ Heart failure: Your heart can’t pump blood well enough to keep up with your body’s needs.

β€’ Congenital heart disease: Problems with how your heart formed before birth prevent normal blood flow.

β€’ Pericardial issues: A stiff or inflamed sac (pericardium) around your heart presses on your heart.

Causes of heart disease include:
β€’ Genetic issues
β€’ Infections, including those outside your heart
β€’ Aging
β€’ Use of addictive substances.etc.

Heart attack

A heart attack, also called a myocardial infarction; occurs when an artery that sends blood and oxygen to the heart is blocked. Fatty, cholesterol-containing deposits build up over time, forming plaques in the heart's arteries. If a plaque ruptures, a blood clot can form. The clot can block arteries, causing a heart attack.

During a heart attack, a lack of blood flow causes the tissue in the heart muscle to die. Prompt treatment is needed for a heart attack to prevent death.

Common heart attack symptoms include:

β€’ Chest pain that may feel like pressure, tightness, squeezing or aching.
β€’ Pain or discomfort that spreads to the shoulder, arm, neck, jaw, teeth or sometimes the upper belly.
β€’ Cold sweat
β€’ Heartburn
β€’ Lightheadedness or sudden dizziness
β€’ Nausea or Shortness of breath

Some heart attacks strike suddenly. But many people have warning signs and symptoms hours, days or weeks in advance.

The stomach contents are more acidic than those of the oesophagus. When the stomach contents pass upward into the oesophagus (acid reflux), the acidity begins to erode the lining of the oesophagus, producing the burning sensation associated with heartburn. Some people experience heartburn after eating a large meal that overfills their stomach. Women sometimes get heartburn during pregnancy when the developing foetus pushes the internal organs upward. Pressure applied to the abdominal wall because of obesity also causes heartburn

GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE (GERD)

πŸ‘©πŸ½β€πŸ« Teacher: Drixel Dee


---

Definition 🩺

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive condition where stomach acid repeatedly flows back (refluxes) into the esophagus, causing irritation and inflammation of the esophageal lining.

This happens when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) becomes weak or relaxes inappropriately πŸšͺ⬇️.


---

Pathophysiology (How it happens) πŸ”„

The LES normally acts like a valve between the stomach and esophagus

When it becomes weak or relaxed, stomach acid moves upward

Acid irritates the esophagus β†’ causes pain, burning, and damage

Repeated exposure can lead to inflammation, ulcers, or strictures



---

Causes / Risk Factors ⚠️

Weak lower esophageal sphincter

Obesity πŸ§πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

Pregnancy 🀰

Smoking 🚬

Alcohol 🍷

Eating large or late meals πŸ”πŸŒ™

Fatty, spicy, or acidic foods πŸŒΆοΈπŸ…

Hiatal hernia

Signs and Symptoms πŸ”₯

Common symptoms include:

Heartburn (burning chest pain) ❀️‍πŸ”₯

Acid regurgitation (sour/bitter taste in mouth) πŸ˜–

Chest pain (non-cardiac)

Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)

Chronic cough or sore throat 😷

Hoarseness of voice

Nausea 🀒



---

Complications 🚨

If untreated, GERD may lead to:

Esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus)

Esophageal ulcers

Esophageal stricture (narrowing)

Barrett’s esophagus (precancerous condition) ⚠️



---

Diagnosis πŸ§ͺ

GERD may be diagnosed using:

Patient history and symptoms

Upper GI endoscopy πŸ“·

Esophageal pH monitoring

Barium swallow X-ray



---

Management / Treatment πŸ’Š

Lifestyle Modifications πŸ₯—

Eat small, frequent meals

Avoid spicy, fatty, and acidic foods

Do not lie down immediately after eating πŸ›ŒβŒ

Elevate head of bed ⬆️

Lose weight if overweight

Stop smoking and alcohol



---

Medications πŸ’‰

Antacids (e.g., magnesium hydroxide)

Hβ‚‚ receptor blockers (e.g., ranitidine)

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like omeprazole πŸ’Š



---

Surgical Management (Severe cases) πŸ₯

Fundoplication surgery to strengthen the LES



---

Nursing Role πŸ§‘πŸ½β€βš•οΈ

Assess pain and symptoms regularly

Educate patient on diet and lifestyle changes πŸ“š

Administer medications as prescribed

Encourage adherence to treatment

Monitor for complications



---

Conclusion ✨

GERD is a common but manageable condition. With proper lifestyle changes, medications, and patient education, symptoms can be controlled and complications prevented 🌈.
