Cardiac asthma
Classification and external resources
ICD-10 I50.1
ICD-9 428.1
MeSH D004418

Cardiac asthma is a medical symptom, of wheezing, coughing or shortness of breath which may be due to congestive heart failure. It is known as cardiac asthma because the symptoms may mimic asthma. One study found one third of all patients involved who have symptoms of cardiac asthma also have congestive heart failure.[1]

Depending on the severity of the symptoms, it can be classified as a medical emergency as it is a symptom of heart failure leading to the build up of fluids in the lungs-pulmonary edema and in and around the airways.

Asthma is very different in this sense as true asthma is caused by the inflammation and eventual narrowing down of airways. This is what causes the breathing difficulties that is characteristic to asthma.

Asthma has nothing to do with fluid in the lungs or heart disease or even heart failure which is so associated with Cardiac Asthma.

The Distinction between true asthma and cardiac asthma is especially important because using treatments for true asthma including inhalers( in the assumption that the child actually has Asthma) may actually worsen cardiac asthma and cause severe heart rhythmic issues.

    This is the location of the Turdaş archaeological site. The archaeological site was a large Neolithic/Chalcolithic settlement along the course of the Mureş River. It was first researched by Zsófia Torma. The sub-culture Vinča-Turdaș (a late, regional variation of the Vinča culture) is named after this site. Some archaeological culture layers at this site are contemporary with the site at Tărtăria.

    Oh I can see it's gonna be a long day
    And I'm sick and tired of this hell I pay
    I please demand the explanation of why you do the thing
    that you do
    You ain't no politician, so get your hands off my neck
    You always seem to piss me off
    You don't know what I like
    You always seem to piss me off
    Oh I've been losin' my mind
    I wait, and you just take sweet, little time
    I please demands the explanation of why you set me up for
    the fall
    YOu've tried my patience, and I'm supposed to let you get
    away with it all
    You always seem to piss me off
    You never seem to get it right
    You always seem to piss me off
