Atrial septal defect

She has atrial fibrillation, history of coronary artery disease, status post intervention back in 2004 with a CABG. She is feeling well from that standpoint. She is not having any chest pain. She is not having shortness of breath. She does have hypertension…

Again, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I hoped for the best. For my primary patient, I had a 59-year-old female who was admitted with a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation. She was an independent patient and who did well being at home without complications. As I listened to the report with my nurse, I was able to note that my patient has dealt with atrial fibrillation symptoms before and she was able to handle how she felt before. She could tell when her heart rate was fast and she could control…

when the action of a medication in the body is study, which includes the process of absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination (Edmunds, 2014). The patient that currently being cared for is a 73 year old female with past medical history of atrial fibrillation, kidney dysfunction and diabetes mellitus. Currently the patient takes the following medications: Pravastatin 10 mg, Lisinopril 2.5 mg, Digoxin 0.125 mg, Warfarin 7.5 mg, HCTZ 25 mg, all of which are taken orally and daily. She…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is typically a supraventricular tachyarrhythmia which is known for having an uncoordinated atrial activation resulting in worsening of atrial mechanical function. (1) AF is very common and presents around one-third of hospital admissions due to cardiac rhythm disturbances. There has been a substantial increase in hospital admission for AF which can be the result of an aging of the population and an increase in prevalence chronic heart disease.(2–4) Nonvalvular AF is…

H. has recently had several admissions over the last six months related to her atrial fibrillation (5). One admission was related to a gastrointestinal bleed from the Xaralto. She denies HTN, MI, cancer, or stroke. Past Surgical History (PSH): 2016 Cardiac stress test/catheterization (Chest pain), 2016 cardioversion/TEE (AF) 2016 colonoscopy (GI bleed), 2016 permanent pacemaker/ablation (atrial fibrillation), 1975 Tubal ligation (method of contraception), 1970 Appendectomy (Appendicitis)…

Atrial Fibrillation One of the most common arrhythmias that clinicians will confront in practice is Atrial Fibrillation (AF). The incident of AF increases with age. Many patients with AF are asymptomatic and only diagnosed incidentally. Many others experience only non-specific symptoms such as palpitations, dyspnea, or chest pain. The following case study illustrates the clinical role of the advanced practice nurse in the assessment of a patient presenting with Atrial Fibrillation. Jimmy J….a…

heartbeat and pulse. There are two common fibrillations in the heart known as atrial fibrillation and ventricular fibrillation. While they are both fibrillations, ventricular fibrillation poses a far more fatal outcome than atrial fibrillation. This paper will be used to examine what causes the difference in these fibrillations and the difference in health risks resulting from them. To understand the difference in atrial and ventricular fibrillation one must first understand the cardiac cycle…

develop later in life. A heart murmur is not a disease but can affect the cardiovascular system which may lead to heart problems. Anyone from infant to adults can have a heart murmur. Infants and children may need to have surgery due to atrial or ventricular septal defects. If you have an innocent heart murmur or an abnormal heart murmur you most likely will not have any other signs and symptoms other than the rhythm of your heart beat. If you have a heart…

The available technology points toward the use of lead/acid batteries to supply the power for ZEVs. The negative consequences associated with lead/acid batteries are numerous. For example, lead/acid batteries contain a large amount of lead. When the life of the battery is lost, the disposal of the lead within the battery must be dealt with appropriately. An analysis by researchers at Carnegie-Mellon found that the mass production of electric cars using lead/acid battery packs would exponentially…

Nanoparticles with Defects by Vladislav Ischenko,Sebastian Polarz,Dirk Grote,Victorina Sravarache,Karin Fink,and Matthias Driess. This paper discusses the importance of a nanoscale ZnO with defects in its structure. The article also provides a broad analysis of ZnO nanoparticles using a consolidation of techniques and the resulting data is summarised in this review. The paper gives the realization of when a nanocrystalline ZnO that is rich in defects could be obtained. The types of defects and…
