|
What is trachetomy |
Is an incision into the trachea to open it below a blockage |
|
What is trachestomy |
Is an opening into the trachea through which an indwelling tube is inserted |
|
What is atherosclerosis |
Is the hardening of plaque- fat deposits in the wall of the blood vessels which is plaque causes the lumen to narrow slows down the blood supply which causes the patient to become dizzy and causing partial blockage when there is full blockage a heart attack can occur because the artery vessels harden causing the pressure to go up |

Is the small holes in the wall between the ventricles hole in the ventricular septum causing blood to flow from left to right into the lungs via the pulmonary artery |
|
What is the other heart conditions |
Pulmomary artery stenosis- is a heart valve disorder in which outflow of the blood from the right ventricle of the heart is obstructed at the level of the pulmonary valve causing a reduction of flow of blood to the lungs Overriding septal defect- is a congenital heart defect with the aorta is positioned directly over a ventricular septal defect instead of over the left ventricle the result is that the aorta receives some blood from the right ventricle causing a mixture of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood and thereby reducing the amount of oxygen delivered to the tissues Hypertrophied of the Right ventricle- right ventricular hypertrophy the form of ventricular hypertrophy affecting the right ventricle blood travels through the right ventricle to the lungs of the pulmonary artery if this condition occurs it will decrease pulmonary circulation meaning blood does not flow well from the heart to the lungs extra stress can then be put on the right ventricle this can lead to right ventricular hypertrophy Ventricular septa defect Eventual septal defect is a defect in the ventricle septum the wall dividing the left and right ventricle of the heart the ventricle septum consists of an inferior muscle and superior membranous portion and is extensively integrated with conducting cardioomycytes Tratalogy of fallot Is the combination of four heart defects it is Present at birth defect makes it difficult for your child to get oxygen to the entire body |

Is a procedure used to treat the coronary artery disease in the certain circumstances blood vessels are graphs are used for the bypass procedure may be pieces of veins being taken from the legs or on an artery in the chest at the time in order from the wrist maybe used one end of the graft is attached above the blockage and the other end is attached below the blockage thus the blood is rerouted around or bypasses the blockage through the new grass to reach the heart muscle. |
