Important Heart Problems

Among the heart problems you may hear about either in connection with heart attack or in other contexts are cardiac arrest and heart block. You may also hear about congestive heart failure, congenital heart disease, and rheumatic fever.

Cardiac Arrest
Anytime an individual’s heart stops beating, he or she is said to be suffering cardiac arrest. The heart may stop because of heart attack or for many other reasons drowning, electrocution, or strangulation.

When cardiac arrest occurs, immediate action is necessary or the patient may die, the brain can survive without damage for only about four minutes after circulation is stopped.

Heart Block
Sometimes a heart attack victiom who seems to be recovering will experience a sudden slowing or stopping of the heartbeat. (This phenomenon may also occur for reasons other than heart attack, but in this setting it usually affects patients in their sixties or older, and is due to an aging process.)

Heart block result from a failure of the electrical connection between the atria and the ventricles. Impulses do not reach the main pumping chamber often enough. Normal heart rate can be restrored medically, with an electronic pacemaker. Within this does not happen, an artificial pacemaker can be implanted and can take over the job indefinitely as long as the batteries are changed periodiacally.


Congestive Heart Failure
In congestive heart failure, the heart cannot pump enough blood and the result is a congestion, or backing up, of blood in the lungs. Fluid also oozes through the thin capilary walls in various parts of the body and collects in the tissue such as the lungs and skin, causing shotness of breath and edema (swelling).

Almost every known type of heart disease may produce congestive heart failure. Sometimes it can be affravated by high blood pressure, which forces the heart to work harder to deliver sufficient blood to the body’s organs and tissue. It can also be caused by heart attack, defective heart valves, a damaged section of heart muscle, or weakening of the entire heart by disease or toxins.


Congestive Heart Disease
About eight infants out of every 1,000 are born with congenital heart disease, inborn defects or the heart. Congenital heart disease varies in severity; it can affect any structure of the circulatory system, the pumping chambers, the valves that separate these chambers, the valves that separate these chambers and force the blood to flow in one direction, or blood vessels leading from the heart to the lungs and other parts of the body.

Stroke and Need of Interest

We often hear from the employee who tenth years work on the company if less of attention from their boss. This condition make them work as what he can do, they think that diligent and lazy are the same, they tend work no maximal.

How give an extra attention to them?

One of the management program “Putting People First” is “Strokes.” The kind of interest that you can get or you can give to others. Stroke is something the most important on your live where people become cool among others. Stroke is not just heart attack disease that is usually have by sick people. 
 
If interest can cause negative effect. This can cause less of confidence, abnormal behaviour, or don’t care, mental disease even die.
  • Stroke can divide into several categories:
  • Positive strokes
  • Negative strokes
  • Zero Strokes
Let’s describe of each of those categories:

Positive strokes are a good attention, because of that reason you feel happy and useful. Positive strokes can give by praise, recommendation, thanks statement, proud and feel amazed, this can make a real motivation or support.

Negative strokes are bad attention, because this make you sad, make you feel like a looser. Critics, fed up, disappointed, deep sad, not confidence, and no thanks to God, can make you really feel under pressure.

The worst compare with the two above is zero strokes, there are no attention and zero stroke. This can happen that you are neglectful. You get attention lessen than you hope. There is an expression, “Love me of hate me, but don’t ignore me.”

A number of survey shows that the highest number of dispute, fast for surrender of staff, and bad work atmosphere because of employees don’t get enough of attention.

From the service side, giving of positive strokes can look as god personal service form, while by giving of negative strokes or zero strokes look as the form of bad personal service.

Stroke can be a strongest media to develop confidence. All the strokes either positive or negative strokes, can on the physics or mental form. The example of positive stroke and negative strokes can seen on the table below:

Strokes
Physic
Mental
Positive
Slap on the shoulder, shake hands
Praise, thanks you, promotion
Negative
Push, hitting, a slap
Critics, look down at, humiliate
