Drug Therapy for the Prevention of Heart Disease

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

This is an excellent video brought to you by UCSF’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. The video explores different types of treatments and how to manage Cardiovascular disease. “Join William Grossman, MD., Chief, Division of Cardiology, UCSF for a look at the use of drug therapy in the treatment of Atherosclerotic Heart and Vascular Disease. Series: Osher Lifelong Learning Presents [Health and Medicine] [Professional Medical Education] [Show ID: 11317]” I hope you all enjoy this video as it is very interesting. Thanks to UCSF for putting it on the internet.

New Interactive App Will Be Available!

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

I am currently working with a directx 10 engine from Microsoft to create an interactive application to teach users more about heart failure. Although the videos on this site may be interactive enough to some people, I want the users to choose what they want to learn about. This interactive application will allow the user to walk around in a graphic environment and to look at pictures and read information about what they see. Even though this is a very long and hard process to get it working, I think it will be able to help many people out. The program will be available for free to all users on this site. Keep in mind that it will only work with Windows Vista and directx 10 compatible video cards. Currently, the best video card that will work is from Nvidia and is the 8800 model. However, all Nvidia 8 series cards will work. If you meet these system requirements and would like to beta test the program, please drop me an email at alexhakimi@gmail.com. I look forward to meeting a few beta testers. I will also be posting screen shots and work in progress videos soon.

What is exactly Heart Failure?

Monday, August 6th, 2007

Hello everyone. I have been receiving many emails asking me what Heart Failure really is, as it sounds like such a general term. I mean, what does it mean to have your heart fail? There can be so many possibilities for a definition. So I am here to tell what Heart Failure really is.

Congestive heart failure (CHF), also known as just the singular Heart Failure, is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood to other organs of the body. There are many reasons why this may happen. This includes narrowed arteries, myocardial infarction (heart attack), and others. (A full list can be found Here)

There are many ways to diagnose CHF. However, the most common one is when a patient, with past cardiac history reports being tired and fatiguing quickly. The patient also reports swollen legs or ankles with trouble breathing. Another symptom is weight gain as a cause of fluid being built up in the body. (This is easily treatable with Diuretics and Potassium)

What do you want to see more of on the site and what are things that you do not like? We need all the feedback we can get. All you need to do is to leave a comment on this post and the administrators including me will look them over. We really appreciate your help and feedback to make ANet United stronger than ever. ANet United runs for one reason and that is the public. We do not make any money nor do we like to.
