Hellen Hawkins both file their cases in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. John Hawkins lawsuit concerned the death of her mother, Nancy Brummett, while Helen’s lawsuit against Boehringer concerned taking Pradaxa to treat her atrial fibrillation. * other relevant information about the drug and/or the…

but some predispose one to complications like heart failure or a stroke. Arrhythmia are the leading cause of sudden cardiac death, with 400,000 victims a year. There are four main types of arrhythmia, premature beats, supraventicular arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, and bradycardia. Premature beats is the most common type and harmless.Majority of the time it happens naturally or due to the fact of being over stressed, over training, and or too much caffeine. Premature beats usually do not…

We will begin with discussion Arrhythmia (abnormal heart beat). There are different types of Arrhythmia, and they include Premature atrial contractions, theses are extra heartbeats that happen in the atria (upper chamber of the heart). These contractions usually do not cause harm and don’t require treatment. Another one is Atrial fibrillation, it’s a heart rhythm that causes the atria to contract abnormally. Multiple things such as coronary artery disease, heart attack injury, and…

REASON CHIEF COMPLAINT: Heart failure. Coronary artery disease. Atrial flutter. BLANKLINE This patient had an acute MI _____ and underwent three vessel coronary artery bypass grafting at that time. He states he had a cardiac catheterization elsewhere about four years ago and they did not perform any intervention at that time. He has had a transthoracic echocardiography and stress nuclear imaging test that has shown EF of 40%. His last nuclear imaging test showed only mild inferior…

Sarah Grace Burton and Emily Dickey May 23rd, 2017 Anatomy HN - Vogel 4th Period Atrial Fibrillation Inside of the cardiovascular system, the heart normally has a regular heartbeat that is consistent. But for some people, their heartbeat is quivering and irregular which is called arrhythmia as the atria gets off beat. This rapid, abnormal heart-related condition is called Atrial Fibrillation, or more commonly known as AFib or AF. It can be caused by a variety of things, including…

After electrical cardioversion, the doctor may prescribe anti-arrhythmic medications to help prevent future episodes of atrial fibrillation. Medications may include: dofetilde (Tikosyn), flecainide, propafenone (Rythmol), amiodarone (Cordarone, Pacerone), and sotalol (Betapace, Sorine). Although these drugs may help maintain a normal heart rhythm, they can cause side effects, including: nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. Rarely, they may cause ventricular arrhythmias – life-threatening rhythm…

Medication information can be found in multiple places. These include: social media, magazines, commercials, newspapers, billboards, blogs, journals, etc.. These can be both helpful and harmful when looking for accurate information. Medication resources can provide accurate information. Some of these are unprofessional and advertise the medication for popular uses of the medication. Although they can provide accurate information, the sources may not provide one hundred percent of the necessary…

symptomatic atrial fibrillation. Physicians in the ER stated that patient Afib probably had had atrial fibrillation for a while, but it had been exacerbated for an unknown reason. The emergency room physician advised patient Afib to visit a cardiologist to figure out why the arrhythmia had begun and how to fix it. After consultation with a cardiologist and a sleep study,…

which causes the leaflets of the mitral valve to get thicker or to fuse together. Mitral valve stenosis can also be caused by a buildup of calcium deposits on the leaflets, or by a congenital defect where the leaflets are not correctly formed. When a patient has mitral valve stenosis, the patient 's left atrial size and pressure increase to overcome the smaller passageway to the left ventricle. This means that the heart, mainly the left atrium has to work harder to keep a normal cardiac…
