Chiropractic for Heart Trouble

The valves of the heart are for the
purpose of guarding the openings, SC
as to prevent the regurgitation Of
blood into the cavity from which it
has been forced. Defects of any OF
these valves permits regurgitation or
obstruction to the flow of the blood
and is commonly spoken of as valvu
lar OF organic disease OF the heart.
There are various forms of valvu.
lar defects, such as Aortic Incom.
potency, Aortic Stenosis, Mitral In
competency, Mitral Stenosis, Tricus.
pid Incompetency, Tricuspid Ste
nosis, Pulmonary Incompetency and
Pulmonary Stenosis.
Valvular Incompetency is an ab-
normal condition of the valve in
which it is impossible to properly
close the orifice, thus allowing re-
gurgitation of blood into the cavity
from which it has been forced.
Valvular Stenosis is. condition in
which the normal amount OF blood
is prevented from passing through
the valve. Stenosis may result from
construction of the circular muscu-
lar fibers surrounding the orifice or
from a thickening of the valve seq
ments, making them nonflexiblc and
unevenly shaped, or there may be a
calcareous deposit upon the segments
so that they project inward and can
not be pressed back by the blood.
Stcnosis may also result from ad-
hesions of these segments.
Acute Endocarditis is an excessive
heat or inflammation of the inner
lining of the heart; when this condi-
tion is slight symptoms may be very
moderate, but il it is more severe
there is sudden chill and a rapid
and high rise in the bodily tempera-
ture and fever takes an irregular
course. During the paroxysms OF
fever there may be delirium, stupor
and coma with murmurs correspond
ing to the valves affected, which may
contain ulcerations, permanently de-
forming them. y
Chronic Endocarditis is a continua-
tion OF the acute form resulting in de-
formity Of the valve segments, with
regurgitation or stenosis.
An overgrowth or increase in the
muscular tissue of the heart walls is
known as hypertrophy of the heart.
When the cavities of the heart are
increased in size out OF proportion tp
the thickness of their walls It is term
ed dilatation of the heart.
Acute Myocarditis is an inflamma-
tion or excessive heat OF the muscu-
lar tissues of the heart, which may be
suppurative or non-suppurativc.
owing TO limited space It "a impossible
to state the symptoms for the valvular de-
fects or abnormalities OF the heart. but
any one afflicted with any OF the above
mentioned inoo- ordinations should first 0r
all try to determine the cause and have y
corrected; once that is done Nature VIII
take care OF the inco- ordination.
Abnormal conditions Of the tissues OF the
body arc caused by the lack OF proper
nerve impulse tlife force) to the parts, duo
to imp,nrement OF one or more nerves
where they leave the spinal column, The
Chiropraetor adjusts the vertebrae, thus
releasing the impnBed nerves and allow
ing the free transmission OF the nerve rorce
to the parts. Nature will then soon restore
the affected parts back to their normal
condition. II you are In doubt, ask some
of your friends what Chiropractic has done
for them: then consult a competent Chiro-
practor He will be glad to explain Chiro-
practic to you and furnish you with litera-
ture on the subject.
