ʻO wai ke kauka puʻuwai? E ʻike pono kākou i ke ʻano o kēia!

Ke manaʻo nei ʻoe i kekahi manawa he ʻūmiʻi iki a luhi paha i loko o kou umauma? A i ʻole ua loaʻa i kekahi o kou ʻohana ka maʻi puʻuwai? Inā pēlā, he mea nui loa ka ʻike e pili ana i kahi kauka puʻuwai. E ʻike kākou ʻo wai lākou, kā lākou hana, a pehea e hiki ai iā lākou ke kōkua iā ʻoe.

ʻO wai kēia kauka puʻuwai?

He kauka lapaʻau puʻuwai kahi kauka loea i nā maʻi o ka puʻuwai a me nā kīʻaha koko. I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, hiki i kēia mau kauka ke kōkua i ka mālama ʻana i kou puʻuwai olakino, pale i nā maʻi puʻuwai, a mālama iā ia inā ulu.

ʻAʻole maʻalahi ka lilo ʻana i loea e like me kēia, ʻeā? Pono mua lākou e aʻo no ʻehā mau makahiki ma ke kula lapaʻau. A laila, pono lākou e hana i kahi noho ma ke ʻano lapaʻau kūloko no ʻekolu mau makahiki hou aʻe. Ma hope o kēlā, pono lākou e hana ma ka liʻiliʻi he ʻekolu mau makahiki o ke aʻo kūikawā ma ka cardiology. Ma hope o kēia aʻo lōʻihi, pono lākou e hala i nā hoʻokolohua kūikawā a loaʻa ka hōʻoia mai kahi kino aupuni i ʻike ʻia. Pono nō hoʻi lākou e hoʻomau i ka lawe ʻana i nā hoʻokolohua a me ke aʻo ʻana e hoʻohou i ko lākou ʻike a noho i ka wā hou i nā lāʻau lapaʻau hou loa.

He aha ka hana a ke kauka cardiologist?

I kēia manawa, e nānā kākou i ka hana a ke kauka puʻuwai. Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe ka ʻeha o ka umauma, ke koko kiʻekiʻe, ka hāʻule ʻana o ka puʻuwai, nā pilikia o ka valve puʻuwai, nā pilikia o ke kīʻaha koko, hiki iā lākou ke mālama i nā mea e pili ana i ka puʻuwai.

No ka ʻike pono ʻana i kou pilikia, e kauoha lākou i nā hoʻokolohua like ʻole. No ka laʻana, hiki iā lākou ke kauoha i nā hoʻokolohua e like me ECG (Electrocardiogram) , Echocardiogram (Echo) , CT Scan (Computed Tomography) , CMR (Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging) , a me Nuclear Imaging . Ma muli o ka ʻike mai kēia mau hoʻokolohua, hiki iā lākou ke kuhikuhi i nā lāʻau lapaʻau, kōkua iā ʻoe e hoʻomaka i ka hoʻoikaika kino olakino a me nā ʻano ʻai, a i ʻole e hana i kahi kaʻina hana e like me Cardiac Catheterization . I kekahi manawa, inā pono ʻoe i ke ʻoki puʻuwai, e kuhikuhi kēia kauka iā ʻoe i ke kauka cardiothoracic kūpono.

Ke hele ʻoe e ʻike i ke kauka, e hana ʻo ia i kahi hoʻokolokolo kino, e kamaʻilio e pili ana i kāu mau hōʻailona, ​​a me kou mōʻaukala olakino.

He mea nui loa e haʻi i kāu kauka inā loaʻa i kekahi o kou ʻohana ka maʻi puʻuwai (mōʻaukala ʻohana), no ka mea e kōkua ia iā lākou e hoʻomaopopo i kou pilikia.

ʻOiai kahi ʻike liʻiliʻi e like me kēia hiki ke hāʻawi i kāu kauka i ka ʻike nui i ke olakino o kou puʻuwai a me nā kīʻaha koko:

• Kou kaumaha
• Ke koko
• Nā pae kolesterol
• Nā pae glucose/kō koko

E hoʻohālikelike ke kauka i kēia ʻike āpau me kāu mau hopena hoʻāʻo e hoʻoholo ai i nā kumu pilikia i loaʻa iā ʻoe no ka maʻi puʻuwai. Makemake pū lākou e ʻike inā puhipaka ʻoe, pehea ka nui o kāu hoʻoikaika kino, nā mea āu e ʻai ai a inu ai, a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau āu e lawe ai .

He aha nā ʻano maʻi e mālama ai a kōkua ai paha nā cardiologists e pale aku?

ʻAe, e nānā kākou i nā maʻi a nā kauka puʻuwai e mālama ai a kōkua paha e pale aku. He lōʻihi iki ka papa inoa, akā he mea nui e ʻike:

• ʻO Atherosclerosis (ʻO kēia ka wā e hōʻiliʻili ai ka momona i loko o nā kīʻaha koko a ālai iā lākou. Ua like ia me ka lepo e paʻa ana i loko o ka paipu wai.)
• Ke koko kiʻekiʻe
• Kolesterol kiʻekiʻe
• ʻAngina (ʻeha umauma, me he mea lā he paʻa)
• Hopu koke ʻia ka puʻuwai (Hopu koke ʻia ka puʻuwai)

• Maʻi hohola
• Nā ʻūpā koko
• ʻO ka Atrial Fibrillation a me nā maʻi ʻē aʻe o ka puʻuwai
• Endocarditis (maʻi o ka uhi o loko o ka puʻuwai)
• Cardiogenic Shock (kahi kūlana i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka pilikia puʻuwai)
• Nā pilikia o ka valve puʻuwai
• Nā ʻano ʻino o ka puʻuwai
• Cardiomyopathy (maʻi o ka ʻiʻo puʻuwai)
• ʻO ka myocarditis (ka mumū / ka pehu ʻana o ka ʻiʻo puʻuwai)
• Nā pilikia me ka uhi waho o ka puʻuwai, no ka laʻana, pericarditis (ka mumū o ka membrane lahilahi e hoʻopuni ana i ka puʻuwai)
• Maʻi puʻuwai hānau
• Nā pilikia me ka aorta, e like me ka aneurysm a i ʻole stenosis
• Nā pilikia arterial (e.g. Peripheral Artery Disease - ka haiki ʻana o nā aʻa i loko o nā lālā, Subclavian Artery Disease , Renal Artery Disease - ka haiki ʻana o nā aʻa e alakaʻi ana i nā puʻupaʻa, Coronary Artery Disease - ka haiki ʻana o nā aʻa e hoʻolako ana i ke koko i ka puʻuwai ponoʻī)
• ʻO ka hahau (i hana ʻia e kahi ālai ʻana i ke kahe koko i ka lolo, i kekahi manawa e pili pū ana me nā pilikia puʻuwai)

He aha nā ʻano hoʻokolohua e hana ai ke kauka cardiologist?

Hiki i kahi cardiologist ke kauoha i kēia mau hoʻokolohua, akā hiki ke hana ʻia kekahi mau hoʻokolohua e nā loea olakino ʻē aʻe:

• ʻO ka Catheterization Cardiac (kahi hoʻāʻo/lāʻau lapaʻau e pili ana i ka hoʻokomo ʻana i kahi ʻōmole liʻiliʻi i loko o ka puʻuwai)
• X-ray umauma
• Nā hoʻāʻo koko (Nānā kēia i nā mea he nui e like me ka cholesterol a me ke kō)
• ʻO ke kiʻi MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) o ka puʻuwai
• ʻO ke kiʻi CT (Computed Tomography) o ka puʻuwai
• ʻO ka Coronary Angiogram (kahi X-ray o nā aʻa o ka puʻuwai e hoʻohana ana i ka dye e nānā i nā ālai ʻana i nā aʻa)
• Nā Hoʻāʻo Koʻikoʻi (i kapa ʻia hoʻi he mau Hoʻāʻo Treadmill)
• ʻO ka Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) (kahi hoʻāʻo e ana i ka hana uila o ka puʻuwai)
• Echocardiogram (Echo) (kahi scan ultrasound o ka puʻuwai, hiki ke nānā i ke ʻano a me ka hana o ka puʻuwai)
• ʻO ka Echocardiogram Transesophageal (TEE )
• Holter Monitor (kahi mea liʻiliʻi e hoʻopaʻa i kou puʻuwai no kahi o 24 mau hola)
• Monitor Event (kahi mea e hoʻopaʻa ai i ka wā e kū mai ai kahi hōʻailona)
• Mea Hoʻopaʻa Hanana Implantable/Mea Hoʻopaʻa Loop Implantable (kahi mea i hoʻokomo ʻia ma lalo o ka ʻili a nānā i ka helu o ka puʻuwai no ka manawa lōʻihi)

I ka manawa hea e pono ai ʻoe e ʻike i kahi cardiologist?

ʻO ka maʻamau, inā ʻike kāu kauka ʻohana (Primary Care Provider) a i ʻole kāu kauka maʻamau he pilikia kou me kou puʻuwai a i ʻole nā ​​​​​​kīʻaha koko e pono ai ka nānā kūikawā, e kuhikuhi ʻo ia iā ʻoe i kahi kauka cardiologist. I kekahi manawa, e hana pū kēia loea me ʻoe no ka manawa lōʻihi e hoʻomau i ka nānā ʻana i kou kūlana.

Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kekahi o kēia mau hōʻailona, ​​​​e ʻimi koke i ke kōkua lapaʻau a e ʻike i kahi cardiologist inā pono:

• ʻEha ma kou umauma - he ʻeha ʻoi ma waenakonu o kou umauma, ʻoiai inā manaʻo ʻia e like me ke kuʻikuʻi ʻana
• Pōʻino a i ʻole ka nawaliwali
• Pōkole o ka hanu - ke manaʻo nei ua pōkole ka hanu ʻoiai ma hope o ka hana ʻana i kahi hana liʻiliʻi
• Nā palpitations o ka puʻuwai - Manaʻo e like me ka wikiwiki o kou puʻuwai a wikiwiki paha

He aha nā wahi kūikawā o nā kauka cardiologists?

ʻO ka maʻi puʻuwai ke kumu nui o ka make ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa. He hui koʻikoʻi loa nā kauka cardiologists. Hiki iā lākou ke hana ma nā wahi kūikawā o ka mālama puʻuwai. No ka laʻana, aia nā kauka loea i nā mea e like me 'Heart Failure', 'Heart Rhythm Problems', a i ʻole 'Congenital Conditions'.

Nā ʻano like ʻole o nā kauka cardiologists

He ʻokoʻa nā ʻano hana kūikawā o nā kauka puʻuwai. He loea lākou i nā pilikia like ʻole o ka puʻuwai a me nā kīʻaha koko, no ka laʻana, ke kiʻi ʻana i ka puʻuwai a i ʻole ka hoʻoponopono hou ʻana i ka puʻuwai.

Eia kekahi mau ʻano like:

• Kauka Lapaʻau Cardiologist - ʻO ke kauka nāna e ʻike mua iā ʻoe a hana i ka hōʻailona.
• Kauka Lapaʻau no ka Hāʻule ʻana o ka Puʻuwai
• Kauka Puʻuwai Pediatric - He kauka nāna e mālama i nā maʻi puʻuwai i nā keiki ʻōpio.
• Kauka Cardiologist Interventional - ʻO kēia ka poʻe e hana i nā mea e like me ka angioplasty (hoʻonui ʻia o nā aʻa me nā balloons) a me ke kau ʻana o ka stent.
• Cardio-oncologist - He loea e nānā i nā hopena o ka mālama ʻana i ka maʻi kanesa ma ka puʻuwai.
• Kauka Lapaʻau Puʻuwai Hānau
• Loea Kiʻi Puʻuwai - He loea e ʻike i nā maʻi me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻano hana e like me Echo a me MRI.
• Kauka Puʻuwai Interventional Peripheral - ʻO ka poʻe e mālama i nā aʻa koko i loko o nā lālā.
• Kauka Palekana Cardiologist - Kekahi kanaka e kōkua ana i ka pale ʻana i ka maʻi ma mua o ka hiki ʻana mai.
• Loea Hoʻōla Puʻuwai - He kanaka nāna e hāʻawi i nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo no ka hoʻoikaika kino a me ke ʻano o ka nohona i ka poʻe e hoʻōla nei mai ka maʻi puʻuwai.
• Electrophysiologist - He loea i nā pilikia o ka puʻuwai, e like me ke kau ʻana o ka pacemaker.
• Kauka Puʻuwai Geriatric
• Kauka lapaʻau puʻuwai

• Kauka mālama koʻikoʻi

Pono anei au i kahi kuhikuhi e ʻike ai i kahi cardiologist?

Hiki ke ʻokoʻa kēia ma muli o kāu hoʻolālā ʻinikua. Pono kekahi mau ʻoihana ʻinikua i kahi kuhikuhi mai kāu mea mālama mua. No laila, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka nīnau ʻana i kāu ʻoihana ʻinikua e pili ana i kēia. E kōkua kēia iā ʻoe e pale i ka uku ʻana ma mua o kou manaʻo. Ma keʻano laulā, ʻoi aku ke kumukūʻai o ka ʻike ʻana i kahi loea, e like me ke kauka cardiologist, ma mua o ka ʻike ʻana i ke kauka ʻohana. Eia nō naʻe, hiki iā ʻoe ke mālama i ke kālā ma ka hahai ʻana i nā lula o kāu ʻoihana ʻinikua.

Ma hea e hana ai nā cardiologists?

Hiki iā ʻoe ke hālāwai me kahi kauka puʻuwai ma ka haukapila kahi āna e hana ai. ʻIke kekahi mau kauka i nā maʻi ma ko lākou mau keʻena pilikino. Hiki iā lākou ke kuhikuhi iā ʻoe i kahi haukapila a i ʻole ke kikowaena lapaʻau ʻē aʻe no nā hoʻokolohua a i ʻole ka mālama ʻana.

ʻO ka mea hope loa, nā mea e hoʻomanaʻo ai ...

He kanaka loea puʻuwai kekahi kanaka hiki ke hana i kahi ʻokoʻa nui i kou ola. Hiki paha iā lākou ke hoʻopakele i kou ola ma hope o ka hāʻule ʻana o ka puʻuwai. A i ʻole, hiki paha iā lākou ke kōkua i ka pale ʻana i ka hāʻule ʻana o ka puʻuwai. Ma muli o kou kūlana, pono paha ʻoe i kahi loea puʻuwai e loea i ke kūlana kikoʻī āu e loaʻa nei.

Hiki i kāu kauka ʻohana a i ʻole he hoaaloha hilinaʻi ke ʻōlelo aku i kahi kauka puʻuwai maikaʻi nāu. Akā, ʻo ka mea nui loa, ʻo ia kou ʻoluʻolu a me kou hilinaʻi me ke kauka āu e ʻike nei.Pono ʻoe e hiki ke nīnau i nā nīnau me ka makaʻu ʻole e pili ana i kekahi mea āu e maopopo ʻole ai.

E hoʻomanaʻo, ʻo kou puʻuwai kou waiwai makamae loa. ʻO kou kuleana ia e mālama iā ia! ʻO ka hoʻolohe ʻana i nā ʻōlelo aʻo a kāu kauka a me ka hahai ʻana iā ia e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ka ikaika nui e ola ai i kahi ola olakino a hauʻoli.
