COR PULMONALE: Right Ventricle Heart Failure Die to Severe Respiratory Disease

Heart Disease

Heart Disease, Ephedra, and Other Causes of Cor Pulmonale

Chronic heart disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension are the most common causes of cor pulmonale. When the right side of the heart must pump harder in order to compensate for a damaged respiratory system, it can become dangerously enlarged and fail.

Cor pulmonale accounts for the majority of deaths associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension each year.

Ephedra

From 1994 to 2002, the Food and Drug Administration documented many instances of heart disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension and other respiratory disorders caused by dietary supplements containing the ingredient Ephedra. The supplement ingredient, which was banned in 2004, may have led to countless cases of cor pulmonale.

Cigarette smoking, exposure to air pollution and other environmental factors are other activities and factors that can lead to the onset of cor pulmonale.
