What Is Cardiovascular Disorder

To understand Cardiovascular disorder we have to study the function of cardiovascular system. Functions of the cardiovascular system include (1) transporting nutrients to cells, (2) removing waste products through the intestines and other excretory organs, and (3) pumping oxygenated blood from the heart via the arteries and returning deoxygenated blood via the veins. The cardiovascular system works in tandem with the respiratory and nervous systems. It works with the respiratory system by taking the oxygen inhaled into the lungs to the rest of the body, and delivering carbon dioxide from the body to the lungs for expulsion. Impulses from the the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems help regulate the heartbeat.

The heart is a cone-shaped organ, about the size of a clenched fist. Contrary to popular belief, the heart is not on the left side of the chest; it is almost central, but its most prominent pulsation is felt beneath the left nipple. It pumps blood throughout the body and averages 70 beats per minute in an average adult. This is accomplished via nerve impulses and contractions of muscles. The heart is loosely enclosed in a fibrous, protective, bag-like enclosure called the pericardium. The heart is comprised of 4 chambers. The top portion houses the atrium, of which there are right and left valves. The bottom portion of the heart contains the chamber known as the ventricle, of which there are also right and left valves.

Cardiovascular disease comprises of several symptoms and disorders; coronary artery disease (including arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, angina and myocardial infarction), hypertension, rheumatic heart disease and congenital heart disease. Coronary artery disease is the most frequent cause of death from cardiovascular disease.

In modern system of medicine, the drugs often used in the treatment are antiarrhythmics, antihypertensives, antiadrenergics, diuretics, antianginals and anticoagulants. These drugs are effective but have a number of side effects like severe headaches, mild constipation, shortness of breath, dizziness, loss of appetite, heartburn etc. In chronic cases, the treatment is obviously prolonged. 

The herbal system has a number of medicines that not only provide symptomatic relief but attacks the root cause without any known side effects. so we should try some herbal and alternate medicines also by consulting the experts.

Heart Disease Causes and Cures

Heart is the most important part of human body, the main function of heart is to supply oxygenated blood containing nutrients to different parts of our body,Cardiovascular disorder affects the functioning of this cardiovascular system resulting in any disease that affects the blood circulation in body.

Heart
In short the Cardiovascular system works for(1) transporting nutrients to cells, (2) removing waste products through the intestines and other excretory organs, and (3) pumping oxygenated blood from the heart via the arteries and returning deoxygenated blood via the veins.

The causes of cardiovascular disorders are diverse but atherosclerosis and hypertension are the most important. Heart disease is the commonly used phrase for a number of disorders affecting both the heart and blood vessels. A more apt term is cardiovascular disease. It is a leading cause of death and illness that affects millions of people worldwide.  The majority of these catastrophic events occur with little or no warning leaving us ill-prepared to deal with them.

Each day in America only more than 3000 people have heart attacks, 1400 die, and 2200 undergo bypass surgery or angioplasty. Two-thirds of the victims actually have seen a physician shortly before their illness and were reassured that there was nothing wrong with their heart! Many of the deaths and most of the heart attacks are the result of under diagnosis and under treatment, while 75% of the surgeries and angioplasties are due to over diagnosis and over treatment.
Most of the time our modern medical system fails, resulting in deaths or disabilities. we  can't cure heart disease this way. If you have a problem in your chest area, the fist on the list of the organs that need to be fixed is not your heart, it is GI tract.

The human gastrointestinal tract(GI) refers to the stomach and intestine  and sometimes to all the structures from the mouth to the anus. (The "digestive system" is a broader term that includes other structures, including the accessory organs of digestion).

Most of the food we eat gets absorbed in the small intestine and most of the liquid gets absorbed in the large intestine. Liver gets "first pickings" of everything absorbed in the small intestine, which is where virtually all nutrients are absorbed.

All of the venous blood returning from the small intestine, stomach, pancreas and spleen converges into the portal vein.

All blood from the portal vein goes into liver.

75% of the blood entering the liver is venous blood from the portal vein.

Liver is the main organ inside human body who's function is to process substances that are 'foreign' to our body and to make them "friendly".

After blood have been processed inside liver, it goes into the heart, and heart pumps it to the rest of the body.Thirty per cent of the blood pumped through the heart in one minute passes through the body's chemical factory, the liver. The liver cleanses the blood and processes nutritional molecules, which are distributed to the tissues. The liver also receives bright red blood from the lungs, filled with vital oxygen to be delivered to the heart.

The liver is located at the top of the abdomen, and has two main lobes. It is the largest gland in the body, weighing 2.5 to 3.3 pounds. When we eat, more blood is diverted to the intestines to deal with digestive processes, So, it is liver's job to process all the foods that your intestines have been absorbing. "Liver" is probably an appropriate name for this gland, which makes the important decision as to whether incoming substances are useful to the body or whether they are waste.

The liver also synthesizes triglycerides and cholesterol, breaks down fatty acids, and produces plasma proteins necessary for the clotting of blood, The liver also produces bile salts and excretes bilirubin. 
When the quantity of waste increases we feel symptoms for heart diseases, when people have problems and symptoms in their chest area, do not look at the heart. Heart is not a cause of the problem, heart is the consequence of the problem.
Most problems can be fixed with improved lifestyle, improved diet, motion, parasites cleanse, bowel cleanse, dental cleanup, kidney cleanse and liver cleanse ...  

so get ready for the change and consult experts to live happy ..
best of luck
