Understanding Heart Failure: Visual Explanation for Students

My father died from this Nov27. He went into cardiac arrest with my uncle. I wish I was there to due cpr love you pops!!

Clear explanation for ordinary people as well as students 👍🙂

OMG , I'm so screwed

I thought this was gonna be an interesting and informing video that didn't relate to me, and then they said, "valvular heart disease," and I thought, "oh right, that's me..."

I am so thankful that I have a strong and healthy heart. I read through the comments, and it is so sad to see some very young people with heart issues.

I found I had heart failure because of weight gain. My electro cardiologist referred me to failure specialists, all of the side effects are very familiar. In 2020 I had a heart transplant, my main issue now is the numerous side effects of the meds.

Anybody with this problem needs to say bye-bye to alcohol and tobacco. Drop your current weight by just 10-15% and you will feel 100% better. Guaranteed.
You're welcome.

One week after the cshot 2 an dose I was in the hospital with all these symptoms

I think that I’m being programmed to think I have heart problems😬

Lost my son two months ago to ruptured lower valve in his heart.
This happen after his 2nd heart operation pending a third.
I miss him dearly.

What would you do for patients who can't take beta blockers? And how about asthmatic patients who use beta antagonists (eg. Salbutamol) for asthma attacks?

I am an old bloke with a few problems (mild COPD, obesity, decreasing mobility, Type 2 diabetes, infuriating itching on legs, arms and back). I find these videos of yours extremely informative. I have no medical knowledge or training, although my knowledge of Latin and Greek helps in understanding the terminology. I applaud you in lucidly explaining the issues to students, which furthers my own understanding!

I am not a medical student and my heart is fine, but this was really interesting. Now I understand what the doctors are looking for during checkups when they are telling you to breathe deeply and listening with the stethoscope.

Thank you for the great video! Amazing!

Is this film up to date with the latest guidelines?

thanks Tom!

No vaccines! We know the truth.

My husband suffered heart failure lead to stroke yes he was heavy smoker also diabetic he knew getting worse long period of time always complain his back knee pain in leg due diabetic ulcer in leg cause sore infection some gangrene already lost right leg not long ago lost other leg infection he suffered major stroke never came out it past away June 5 2022

In my experience heart failure is when everyone around you sucks. And you're trying hard to survive in the middle of them. My true story.

Very informative. I have heart disease and this was very helpful….

I don’t eat out restaurants that much and I walked for heart health and eat less and don’t smoke.

Thanks 😊

How do a cardiomegaly ( mild heart enlargment ) patient go back to normal pls? I all need your help

Clever analogy.

Lost my mom to atherosclerosis. 😢

Really helpful for many medicos like me out there
Thanks ❤

I am seen in the heart failure clinic, twice a year and I have an ICD pacemaker and take medications including beta blockers, I have my ejection fraction and BNP closely monitored. In 2016 (I was 18) I had an out of hospital cardiac arrest, which lasted at least 20 minutes according to my family who were present and saved my life. I had the most horrible, extreme palpitations in the minutes prior to the cardiac arrest. My father is a GP and performed chest compressions constantly while the paramedics applied the shock pads and gave me IV medications. I spent several weeks in cardiac ITU afterwards and don't remember much until I was transferred to a specialist hospital, where they did all sorts of horrible tests (including putting wires up my groin several times) and said I needed an ICD (I also had a loop recorder which was removed as it ran out of battery). I developed epilepsy after the cardiac arrest, my neurologist said it was due to the lack of oxygen. I will be forever grateful to my family.

Them vaccines are no joke.

Well done.

ThAnk you!

Love you ❤️

Thanks,i really enjoyed watching this

thank you very much for your good job

In 2018 I was admitted to the hospital for heart failure. I had a 19% ejection fraction.Turned out that I have lupus and it was attacking my heart 😢. I was also diagnosed with mixed connective tissue disease. My heart is much better now with Metoprolol and Losartan. Take care of yourselves ❤

RIP to my dad. 1973 - 2014. Had left ventricular failure and I watched all of these symptoms before his heart just gave out. Take care of your heart guys. I get checked every year now.

Can hf be acute?

Tom question for you is heart disease is link from gum disease?

Now we have even others medicins as Forxiga or Jardiance

How long does adrenaline stay in the bloodstream for? I mean would it make sense to scare yourself just before bedtime? Serious question

Very helpful yesterday I see heart failure pt with above same symptoms very helpful ❤💯😇

I have 2 Aorta tissue valves replaced.i have stoylic chronic congestive heart failure stage c . I cough wheeze short of and life is miserable I'm 60 years old.

Im really scared, man. Im 23 years old,, im healthy and my job keeps me active because i work in construction. I've had my first anxiety attack last month and I hard panicked because I didn't know what was going on with me. I just suddenly had shortness of breath while trying to sleep. Same thing happened to me the following week and I went to the doctor to check if im healthy, they took out my blood and they said I was completely healthy and it was just an anxiety attack and they taught me how to control it. I've been sleeping well for like a week or so. And for the last week, I've been having trouble breathing only at night when I try to go to sleep for work the next day. I would lie flat because that's my usual sleeping position, but I just always have shortness of breath no matter what. I tried sleeping on my side, too and its the same. I also tried the more pillow method on my head, still didn't work.
I decided to look it up and idk man, I think I have Orthopnea? And its a heart failure symptom? I'm so scared, im just 23 years old, I thought I was healthy. I dont know what happened. I dont do drugs, Im active.
I dont want to die from a heart attack that could happen in the future. What is wrong with me. I want to go to the doctor to check this out but the cost is so high,I won't be able to have enough money. I cant sleep, I have to wake up for work in 3 hours. It is currently 1:40AM. Im stressing out. I cant call off work because they need me for the day. I'm stressing so hard

may girlfriend died from tuberculosis. But she also have all symptoms you gave for chronic heart failure.

Excellent presentation, thank you! If a 30 y/o presenting these exact symptoms with distinct orthopnea but all tests come out negative with the exception of tachycardia. What would be the suggested follow up to that?

I lost my mom recently to congestive heart failure, and I miss her everyday :(

Careful of the Vax causing heart failure

doctors hide behind big words that no one can possibly understand using there jesuit training manuals that forget the true way in which the body works while the real cures are silenced by big p h arma

Avoid the snake oil with 19 in it! for a happy healthy heart ❤️

Such an easy answer these days - vaxed
