Acute left heart failure patients should adopt a semi-sitting or sitting position, which can help reduce heart edema. Such patients should avoid excessive emotional excitement in daily life and avoid excessive force when defecating, otherwise it may easily lead to disease attacks and endanger life.
1. Acute left heart failure is clinically referred to as acute left heart failure, which is mainly caused by some serious heart diseases, such as acute heart valve disease, sudden valve insufficiency or acute myocardial infarction, severe malignant arrhythmia, resulting in acute decline in heart contractility and significant reduction in blood ejection. This can cause pulmonary circulation congestion, manifesting as ischemia, hypoxia, and dyspnea. The lightest form of dyspnea can occur after exercise, while severe patients manifest as inability to lie flat, and still have dyspnea when sitting upright.
2. Acute left heart failure is characterized by a significant and rapid decrease in cardiac output in a short period of time, with 50% accompanied by severe right ventricular damage that does not respond to volume load, leading to a decrease in blood pressure, insufficient perfusion of the peripheral circulation, and the development of cardiogenic shock.
3. Acute cardiac insufficiency, especially cardiogenic shock, can lead to acute ischemia, hypoxia, and dysfunction of vital organs. Organs such as the kidneys, brain, and liver may not have time to compensate, resulting in multiple organ failure, which further aggravates cardiac function.
