Asthma makes the left ventricle of the heart to become thick which can cause the heart muscle to lose elasticity and fail to pump blood.
Researchers examined patients with heart disease and analyzed their asthma history. After a 10 year follow-up, those with asthma had a higher left ventricular mass compared to those without asthma.
Researchers discovered that the risk of heart failure was stronger in patients with high and raised blood pressure.
Because the left side of the heart has to work harder to pump blood round the body.
The left side of the heart becomes enlarged when blood pressure is too high or when you have a health condition that causes the heart to work harder.
High blood pressure and an enlarged left side of the heart increase the risk of a heart attack than normal-sized heart.
Change of lifestyle and medical treatment can reduce risk of cardiovascular disease in asthmatic patients.
Asthmatic children may have heart problems later in life. Thickening of the
heart’s left ventricles can cause shortness of breath, chest pain, fainting, and may lead to heart failure.
