Heart failure is very common. It affects millions of people in the UAE. More than half of the people who suffer from heart failure have high blood pressure, so this condition can be life-threatening. High prevalence of high blood pressure is expected to aid in growth of the UAE heart failure treatment drugs market.
Anything that impairs your heart's pumping or causes damage to it can cause heart failure. Heart failure tends to get progressively worse with time. But timely treatment can help you live a long life and feel better and more comfortable. Other conditions that can cause heart failure are: high blood pressure, diabetes, aortic stenosis, hypertension, respiratory depression, alcohol abuse, and sedation. High prevalence of such conditions may boost demand for heart failure treatment drugs, thereby boosting growth of the UAE heart failure treatment drugs market.
The study, ‘Rising incidence of obesity in Saudi residents. A threatening challenge for the surgeons’, published in the International Journal of Health Sciences, in January 2018, reported obesity in 42% of the study population with low physical activity levels and unhealthy dietary habits. Thus, high prevalence of obesity is also expected to aid in growth of the UAE heart failure treatment drugs market.
Beta-blockers are a major product type in the UAE heart failure treatment drugs market. Beta-blockers are often given to treat heart failure, especially with hypertension. The beta-blockers prevent the heart from pumping too much blood out. When this happens, the amount of blood pumped out to the legs and kidneys is lower than normal, which causes potassium loss. This potassium loss further decreases the heart rhythm and can cause hypotension (low blood pressure).
Diuretics, another product type in the UAE heart failure treatment drugs market, are used to treat heart failure by preventing fluid retention, especially in people who have a tendency to get fluid retention. Certain diuretics, such as diuretics used for high blood pressure, may help keep your heart from pumping too slowly. These medications may help reduce the heart rate and help it pump more blood out to supply fluids and oxygen to different parts of your body. Diuretics may also decrease the fluid retention. However, this treatment should only be taken for high-potency purposes.
