Heat exhaustion is a heat-related illness that occurs when the body is unable to adequately cool itself in hot and humid conditions, leading to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. It is typically caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures combined with physical exertion, resulting in excessive sweating and fluid loss. Factors…

Heat stroke is a serious and potentially life-threatening heat-related illness that occurs when the body’s heat-regulating mechanisms fail to adequately cool the body, leading to a dangerously high core body temperature. This condition typically develops during prolonged exposure to high temperatures, especially when combined with high humidity and inadequate hydration….

Heart valve replacement is a surgical procedure performed to replace a damaged or diseased heart valve with a prosthetic valve. The heart has four valves—the aortic valve, pulmonary valve, mitral valve, and tricuspid valve—that regulate blood flow through the heart chambers. When one or more of these valves becomes narrowed…

Heart arrhythmia, often referred to simply as arrhythmia, is a condition characterized by irregular heartbeats or abnormal heart rhythms. These irregularities can manifest as a heartbeat that is too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), or irregular in its rhythm. Arrhythmias can occur due to various factors, including underlying heart conditions,…

Heart cancer, also known as primary cardiac tumor, is an extremely rare condition characterized by the presence of cancerous cells originating within the heart tissue itself. Unlike metastatic tumors that spread to the heart from other parts of the body, primary cardiac tumors develop directly within the heart. These tumors…

Heart murmurs are abnormal sounds heard during a heartbeat cycle, typically due to turbulent blood flow within the heart or blood vessels. These murmurs can range from harmless to potentially indicative of underlying heart conditions. Murmurs may be detected during routine physical examinations or through diagnostic tests such as echocardiography….

Heart transplantation is a life-saving surgical procedure performed to replace a failing or diseased heart with a healthy donor heart. It is typically considered when other treatments for end-stage heart failure have been ineffective. The first successful human heart transplant was performed by Dr. Christiaan Barnard in 1967, marking a…
