- Congestive heart failure accounts for many hospitalizations around the world. It is a common chronic condition that leads to considerable symptoms and disability. Most commonly this occurs as a result of coronary heart disease but there are several other important causes for why the heart muscle itself begins to fail.
Professor Barlis discusses what heart failure is and explores some of the causes and symptoms that one may encounter with this condition.
Unfortunately this is me. Diagnosed with heart failure with fraction of only 25% was told today I will be needing a pacemaker😢 I’m so down and out about this. I’m 45 yrs old and wish there was a way to a avoid inserting a pace maker. I’m so nervous and scared can’t believe I’m going through this. Please everyone take good care of your self and try Not To Stress ! Xo
I’m 42 and recently diagnosed with heart failure with 20 ejection
A pacemaker or an icd? Drugs, diet and exercise everyday, religiously. It takes a while to get all of those in the right amounts but with a bit of perseverance and attention to detail you’ll find a good way forward. Watch your sodium, sugar and meat intake and walk, walk, walk.
Best of luck
I have 90 year old uncle on his second pace maker need replacement about every 15 years quite tiny magic box now. Scary but wish all the best.
@@quacker998 Thank you for that. I’ve done my research and all you’ve mentioned is so very true. My only hardest part is getting a move on it such as walking or simply just exercising but reading your message tonight really hit me in a weird way it’s given me the boost to do simply that. Thank you dear friend. Xo
@@davidwright1752 Thank you David & all the best to your uncle as well🙏
The best advice I have received at this point in these early stages I appreciate the honesty
Thanks Peter. Very educational and clear.
Thank you making this video. I lost my husband on Dec. 11th. Everything you said happened to him. I hold a lot of guilt because I didn't know.
U answered everything I needed to know February 24th my heart collapsed and The cardiologist had to do emergency surgery on me the doctors said I wouldn't survive of course u see I did survey everything u said about shortness of breath and the lungs filling up r all true I thought I had the flu luckily I went to the hospital when I did I would not of been alive the next morning it was 25 degrees out that morning and I had sweat dripping off me from my chest up if anyone out there has these symptoms get to a doctor a.s.a.p
Thank you soo much Doc for this video, you are a GREAT Doctor, GOD bless you always
Along with diabetes -- our destructive life choices of the habitual ingestion of smoking, alcohol and bad foods have much to do with these dis eases.
Thank you for this informative video. Heart disease in general has become a concern of mine because my father died of a heart attack, and I have myself have gained a considerable amount of weight since retiring from the Army. I will definitely be looking for the next video in this series for information on improving my condition....
My 40 year old daughter also has congestive heart failure 😢 ! Please give put your faith in JESUS, you won't have anything to fear then. You can put ALL your faith in Jesus because we are SAVED by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS finished work on the cross ❤ and all my prayers for you ✝️🛐 s
This scares me because I was recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure. They told me with medications I may not have to have a device implanted, not taking things seriously will definitely have you thinking it's the end of the world. I take several meds for HBP and a Blood Thinner I also rest when tired and avoid anything stressful.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
I believe it’s stems down to how your ejection fraction is if it’s low such as mlne which is 25% and also feeling dizzy and fainting occasionally may be reason for a pacemaker so that god forbid your heart stops pumping then they pace maker may shock you to regain your beat. Thankfully you not near so take care of yourself from now and maintain lifestyle changes such as dieting,& exercising etc
The lamp cord isn’t going through the lamp base channel , hence why it’s not sitting well it’s sitting on the cable .
I have heart failure since Covid jab .
think i might have heart failure got pain on and off in the area above my left nipple 😢 i’ve also had other weird symptoms lately like pain down my left arm and pins& needles in my hands
Excellent as always, when you mention all things heart related, having had a stent at start of April and told ger LDL down to 1.4. so 4 months on dropped weight from BMI of 25 to 23 and avoiding red meat, milk, cheese, ice cream, deli meats.
Development of tinnitus , my own reading is it could be due to aspirin, but as its so important after stent, the statin was reduced from 80 to 40 mg. Light headedness after stent and ramipril now reduced down to 1.25
Walking good up to 5 miles n maybe 13000 steps at decent pace of 9.5 min per km ,approx 4mph
Still learnt something very new with today's video. EF very interesting
I wonder when one is told get LDL down n its already at 0.8, maybe a lecture on diets like Dr Esselstyn's might be a good idea for a future video. Does one have to be ultra strict as no eggs, just glass of red wine a week etc. Does greens and balsamic vinegar help with nitric oxide to heal the endothelial layer.
Lightheadedness due to lack of iron another to consideration, notice sometimes in long walk brief lightheadedness. Can one walk too fast
Great video, much appreciated
excellent comments Patrick. all changes need to be sustainable. It is common that when significant changes are made to diet and lifestyle, body weight does fall. This itself lowers blood pressure naturally and of course, when you continue the same doses of medicines like ramipril then blood presure will often go lower and cause lightheadedness. We will action your feedback about the dietary changes to consider in an upcoming video.
My husband had a heart attack pre-1996, another in 2001, has heart stents in 3 places, has kidney failure, diabetes, left ventricular heart failure, copd, lung cancer (recurrence after 3 year remission) had covid and is still living. He quit smoking 5 years ago, but started smoking again 2 years ago. He's trying to quit again....doing well using Chantix, or something very similar.
God is the only one keeping him alive at this point.
I have CHF, along with afib, a mechanical heart valve, and a defibrillator. Tired right now as I write this😥
Sorry to hear that hope you feel better soon
Please provide your name n information so I can find you easier. Great video n info. Search of heart matters was not easy to find your videos
www.peterbarlis.com.au will have info. Thanks for supporting the channel!
I believe my Sarcoidosis ruined me
thanks for sharing, It is a condition we do see and can affect the heart, I will work on a video giving some general feedback on this.
im only 19 and my diastolic is always under 75.
I hope so, it should be.
systolic is the squeeze number, high;
diastolic is the relaxation number, low
For instance:
120/70
Oops wrong video
I have had most of the acute symptoms you mention for over a year , my doctor and nurse have said nothing of these things , that concerns me .
Hi Mark, I have a comparable experience. Not sure whether these are the acute symptoms.
What kind of research did you have? In my case it was an EKG / ECG and Echo (outside of the body).

@@crashtestdrummie-nl6411 Hi , I was on Atenolol 50mg twice daily for A/ fib //heart and Dabigatran for blood thinning , very bad side effects , Atenolol causes blackouts with fitting / VERY DANGEROUS PILLS , I had 3 in 4 months while grocery shopping , no warning from doctor even when I told about them. I had never had a blackout or fit , let alone breathing issues .Dabigatran just made me feel ill , I have been off it 5 days and feel so much better , I can think again . I was put on these for A / fib which came on after 2nd covid vax and a bad dose of virus , total loss of mobility due to being almost unable to breath . I had 2 x full heart checks in years prior, lung x-rays etc , all was 100% fine , now I suddenly have severe A/ fib and no air in me . Young nurse watching last ECG etc simply said " WOW , that's different , not seen that before ,," now waiting to speak to doctor about it , nothing is fast here , people die waiting Lol . Am now on metoprolol 50mg , half tab 2 x day , no blackouts and feel much better , but still short of breath . Cheers from Australia .
