Hormonal failures can not pass completely to the body. One of the manifestations of the problem is dyshormonal cardiomyopathy. This disease is associated with impaired cardiac activity. Most often it is diagnosed in women. Symptoms of the problem are similar to manifestations of many other diseases of the cardiovascular system, but the principles of treatment from traditional methods are somewhat different.
Causes and Symptoms of Dyshormonal Cardiomyopathy
In women, dysgormonal cardiomyopathy develops most often against a background of menopause or pre-menopausal condition. Hence, its alternative name is climacteric cardiomyopathy. In addition, the appearance of symptoms of the disease can contribute to the intake of hormonal drugs.
The disease is characterized by functional and structural changes in the heart muscle. Simply put, because of a deficiency of sex hormones, the heart muscle stops working normally.
The main symptoms of cardiomyopathy, developing with menopause, are as follows:
- pain in the heart;
- arrhythmia;
- nervousness;
- increased sweating;
- noise in the ears ;
- irritability;
- a feeling of lack of air;
- frequent jumps of blood pressure;
- heat in the face and upper body;
- dizziness.
Symptoms of thyrotoxic cardiomyopathy - a disease that develops against the background of an overabundance of thyroid hormones - differ slightly and look like this:
- constant tension;
- distraction;
- insomnia;
- tachycardia;
- frequent headaches;
- dry mouth;
- loss of efficiency;
- angina pectoris.
Treatment of dyshormonal cardiomyopathy
With dyshormonal cardiomyopathy, patients are primarily prescribed medication. As an anesthetic, the following are prescribed:
- Valerian;
- Corvalol;
- mint or lemon balm;
- Anaprilin;
- Verapamil.
Most patients are prescribed metabolic correctors:
- Riboxin;
Essentiale ; - ATP;
- Mildronate;
- Actovegin.
Psychological support is very important with climacteric cardiomyopathy. Specialists should explain to the patient that the diagnosis of the threat to his life does not represent. Moreover, this form of cardiomyopathy is considered a normal response to hormonal changes occurring in the body. And as soon as the endocrine changes in the body stop, dyshormonal cardiomyopathy disappears by itself.
