This is more important now than it was several decades ago. An effort must always be made to designate the exact etiology, as well as the exact subset, of the disease. As pointed out in the beginning of this editorial, I became concerned because a reader believed that the word \"heart\" in the term \"coronary heart disease\" was redundant. The article this reader was criticizing was about the most common type of coronary disease, atherosclerosis. In that article, \"coronary heart disease\" was used to indicate that the coronary artery disease was sufficiently severe to produce myocardial events such as angina, infarct, or death. No attempt has been made to describe all the types of heart disease in this editorial. Although the major types of heart disease are described, the objectives of this editorial are to highlight the need for the proper use of terminology and to answer a note from an anonymous reader.</p>","PeriodicalId":77158,"journal":{"name":"Heart disease and stroke : a journal for primary care physicians","volume":"3 4","pages":"179-81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18917053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simple measures such as having the patient sit up with the legs dependent, administering oxygen by nasal prongs, giving sublingual nitroglycerin and small doses of morphine, and rotating tourniquets on the limbs may reduce the need for more intensive procedures. Digoxin and other inotropic agents, aminophylline, furosemide, and vasodilators are given as appropriate during hospitalization. A minority of patients need endotracheal intubation and pressure monitoring with a Swan-Ganz catheter. If the arterial PO2 cannot be maintained at 60 mm Hg or more during face mask ventilation, the PCO2 rises, and the arterial pH declines, the patient should be intubated. Pressure monitoring with a Swan-Ganz catheter is indicated if the patient does not immediately respond to treatment or in special situations such as cardiogenic shock with pulmonary edema. Pulmonary edema caused by diastolic dysfunction is managed differently than that caused by systolic dysfunction. The cause and precipitating factors of the acute pulmonary edema should be sought and treated as early as possible to prevent recurrences.</p>","PeriodicalId":77158,"journal":{"name":"Heart disease and stroke : a journal for primary care physicians","volume":"3 4","pages":"205-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18917059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
