What does ASWM mean in PHYSIOLOGY

ASWM can be caused by a number of conditions, such as coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy (heart muscle disease), valve problems, and certain medications.

Those who have had a previous heart attack, experience chest pain, or have other cardiovascular problems are more likely to develop ASWM. Additionally, those with high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels and diabetes are also at risk.

Symptoms may include fatigue, shortness of breath upon exertion or at rest, dizziness or lightheadedness, and irregular heartbeat or palpitations.

A doctor may diagnosis ASWM through an echocardiogram (ultrasound) imaging test that allows them to measure the motion and size of the heart's walls during contraction and relaxation.

Yes. Treatment options vary depending on the underlying cause but can include lifestyle changes (such as diet and exercise), medications to manage other medical conditions (like hypertension) or address a particular abnormality found in cardiac tests (like an arrhythmia).

You can reduce your risk by making lifestyle changes such as exercising regularly, eating a healthy balanced diet low in saturated fats and salt, reducing stress levels, not smoking or drinking alcohol excessively. Additionally it is important to get regular check-ups with your doctor for early detection of any irregularities that could lead to developing ASWM.

Tests that may be used to detect abnormalities associated with ASMW include electrocardiograms (ECG’s), X-rays and MRI scans. Angiograms are also sometimes recommended if abnormalities are detected in these tests.

Longterm untreated AsMW can lead to congestive heart failure due to decreased blood flow within the heart muscle itself which can become further weakened over time leading to further complications such as stroke or death.
