Trends in the Progressive Stage of Cor Pulmonale and How to Respond
Once symptoms of cor pulmonale appear, it indicates that the disease is in a progressive state, just like a riverbank collapsing in a flood and the floodwaters surging wildly, which can also cause various possible new injuries and new momentum. Generally speaking, during the current progression of cor pulmonale, it may cause acid-base and electrolyte imbalances and disturbances in the body, arrhythmias, disseminated intravascular coagulation, gastrointestinal bleeding, and trigger pulmonary encephalopathy, etc.
Cor Pulmonale
Cor pulmonale and other lung diseases all cause, to varying degrees, a phenomenon of insufficient oxygen, and cor pulmonale is a relatively severe multi-organ functional and organic lesion of the heart, lungs, or spleen, so the phenomenon of insufficient oxygen will be more severe, and it is also prone to causing increased retention of waste gases and waste matter such as carbon dioxide. Therefore, the acid-base balance and water-electrolyte balance in the body are easily lost and disturbed. Once water-electrolyte and acid-base balance are disrupted, arrhythmias, respiratory failure, heart failure, etc. are prone to occur and worsen.
At the same time, the organs will also undergo changes due to insufficient oxygen, mildly affecting function, or in severe cases being prone to infection and invasion by bacteria and viruses. In the early stage, symptoms and signs of the heart and lungs predominate, such as arrhythmias, which are symptoms that cor pulmonale invariably has. However, in terms of manifestations, there are atrial tachycardia, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, etc., with atrial tachycardia being the most common. If acute severe myocardial hypoxia occurs, ventricular fibrillation, cardiac arrest, etc. are prone to occur.
Heart
From this it can be seen that active oxygen therapy, medication, rest and nursing care, nutritional supply, and control of infection, control of arrhythmias or heart failure are urgent and necessary. In particular, increasing the oxygen concentration of inhaled air and continuously supplying sufficient oxygen are of great significance for expelling waste gases and waste matter such as carbon dioxide, restoring and ensuring the normal functioning of organs, promoting medication treatment, and increasing the chance of recovery.
