young cat with a heart condition possible?
I took my 1 year old cat to the vet for an initial review so that it can be arranged. (The why I waited so long is because I took my older cat to the vet men earlier this year.) The vet gave my cat a couple of shots and then took the vital signs of the cat. He said that the cat has a heart murmur and high heart rate and is recommended to see a cardiologist to check for any serious problems before getting her fixed. It also said it could be heart disease. I just want to know what to expect if my cat has a heart such as heart disease. Has anyone else had a cat with a high heart rate 1 year old? Was it be heart disease? If so, How do you manage the condition of your cat's heart? About how long does the treatment cost each month? Any other advice?
I had a young cat with heart disease, my cat developed his in around 13 years of age. It was high maintenance. Many visits and stays, multiple surgeries, thousands of dollars. He had given several tablets by mouth every day, no one else in my family got it so I had to learn how. It is one thing very sad to see your cat go. On the other hand, is very rewarding, knowing that to be keeping this cat so well that it will be put down, left or in a shelter with inadequate care. My cat is extended for at least six years after the onset of heart disease, at age 19 was just so sick could walk and half his face was paralyzed by what had put down. She continued to live a long life, 19 is old for a cat. All this, course, depend on the severity of your cat has heart disease. You may not require more than one pill every day, or may require multiple hospitalizations. Good luck to you both.

Caring for Depression $19.41 One of the major concerns about the changing U.S. health-care systems is whether they will improve or diminish the quality and cost-effectiveness of medical care. The shift from a fee-for-service to a prepaid method of reimbursement has greatly changed the incentives of patients to seek care as well as those of providers to supply it. This change poses a particular challenge for care of depressed patients, a vulnerable population that often does not advocate for its own care. This book documents the inefficiencies of our national systems--prepaid as well as fee-for-service--for treating depression and explores how they can be improved. Although depression is a major illness affecting millions of people, it is seriously undertreated in the United States. The ongoing shift of mental-health care away from specialists and toward primary medical-care providers is causing fewer depressed patients to be appropriately diagnosed and treated. Depression is frequently more devastating than other major illnesses, such as arthritis and heart disease, because it often begins at a younger age, when people are at their productive peak and thus at risk of permanently damaging their careers. It also differs from many medical conditions in that its indirect costs are usually much higher than direct treatment costs. The authors urge the integration of both medical and economic considerations in designing policies for the treatment of depression. They show that by spending more money efficiently on care, the nation will gain greater health improvements per dollar invested and a more productive population. |

Denied an experimental new treatment that could save her life by her parent's managed-care provider, the stepsister has become a symbol of the health care system more concerned with costs than with the lives of its patients.

Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine $10.35 The untold crisis in American medicine, with side effects that may be hazardous to your health. We all know that health care and prescription drug costs are skyrocketing, but few doubt the excellence of American medicine. John Abramson, M.D., an award-winning family doctor on the clinical faculty at Harvard Medical School, reveals, in the same clear language that he used with his patients, how the corporate takeover of clinical research and medical practice is compromising Americans' health. You -- and your doctor -- will be stunned by his findings. For twenty years, Dr. Abramson cared for patients of all ages in a small town north of Boston. But increasingly his role as family doctor was undermined as pressure mounted to use the latest drugs and high-tech solutions for nearly every problem. Drawing on his background in statistics and health policy research, he began to investigate the radical changes that were quietly taking place in American medicine. At the heart of the crisis, he found, lies the changed purpose of medical knowledge -- from seeking to optimize health to searching for the greatest profits. The lack of transparency that has become normal in commercially sponsored medical research now taints the scientific evidence published in even our most prestigious medical journals. And unlike the recent scandals in other industries that robbed Americans of money and jobs, this one is undermining our health. The hormone replacement debacle, it turns out, is not an isolated case. The same kind of commercial distortion now pervades the information that doctors rely upon to guide the prevention and treatment of common health problems, from heart disease to stroke, osteoporosis, diabetes, and osteoarthritis. The good news, as Dr. Abramson explains, is that the real scientific evidence shows that many of the things that you can do to protect and preserve your own health are far more effective than what the drug companies' top-selling pr |
