Was ist Phthalatfrei?
Phthalate werden als Weichmacher für Kunststoffe eingesetzt. Jedoch können diese chemischen Verbindungen gesundheitsschädliche Wirkungen erzeugen. Werden bei einem Produkt Phthalatfreie Weichmacher verwendet, sind diese gesundheitlich unbedenklich und eignen sich sogar für Kinderspielzeug.
Was bedeutet Weichmacherwanderung?
Wenn Weichmacher wieder entweichen, schrumpft der Stoff, wird spröder, härter und gegebenenfalls rissig. Ein benachbarter Stoff, in welchen der Weichmacher migriert, kann klebrig werden oder sich schlimmstenfalls verflüssigen.
What kind of heart disease can cause PVCs?
PVCs in patients with structural heart disease such as LVH, cardiomyopathy, and congestive heart failure, prior myocardial infarction, etc. Often the PVCs show a right bundle branch block (originating from the left ventricle) with variable axis pattern.
Which is the chief medical significance of PVCs?
To reiterate, the chief medical significance of PVCs is that they may be associated with an increased risk of heart disease. So if you have PVCs, your doctor may want to perform a cardiac evaluation, looking for previously unknown heart disease, and assessing your risk of developing heart disease in the future.
What can you do to reduce the number of PVCs?
Exercise as well as sleep may both increase or decrease the number of PVCs. After the diagnosis of PVCs has been established, it is important to evaluate for underlying heart disease as the etiology for the ectopy.
How to diagnose patients with frequent PVC’s?
While patients may be asymptomatic, typically these PVCs cause sensations of skipping, heart pounding, and possibly chest pain, shortness of breath or dizziness. The 12-lead EKG is very useful in identifying the PVC morphology, as certain clinical syndromes exhibit very characteristic PVC morphologies (see below).
