Atrial septal defect

“poor growth while the baby is in the womb and after birth, decreased muscle tone and poor coordination, delayed development and problems in three or more major areas: thinking, speech, movement, or social skills, heart defects such as ventricular septal defect or atrial septal defect, and problems with the face, including narrow and small eyes with large epicanthal folds, small head, small upper jaw,…

the heart between the sternum and vertebral column, even including “cardiac contusion” and cardiac rupture during external cardiac massage during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Within this spectrum, blunt cardiac injuries may present as free septal rupture, free wall rupture, coronary artery thrombosis, cardiac failure, complex arrhythmia, simple arrhythmia, and/or rupture of chordae tendineae or papillary muscles.[][] The incidence may be as high as three fourths of the patients with…

Preoperative evaluation Cardiac surgery, including coronary artery bypass grafting and surgery for valvular disease, represents one of the most common classes of surgical procedures performed worldwide. Advances in the percutaneous management of coronary artery disease as well as in cardiac surgical techniques have led to improved outcomes with consequent longer life expectancy for patients. Greater numbers of patients with depressed left ventricular function, multiple comorbidities, failed…

From a global perspective, cardiovascular disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in most populations 1. In the UK, CVD produces tremendous strain on the NHS and has compelling consequences upon patients, resources and the economic status of health services. Whilst Cancer has recently overtaken cardiovascular disease in leading causes of death in the UK, CVD has not been trailing in terms of mortality, with 28% of deaths in men and 26% in women according to the British Heart…

Heart failure is when the heart is too weak to pump blood efficiently, and cannot provide proper cardiac output that the body needs to maintain the body’s metabolic needs. Also, heart failure is when the heart muscle has become damaged and cannot contract and pump blood up and through the valves and out through both sides of the heart or the heart muscle has become too stiff. This process mainly relates to the heart muscles of the ventricle chambers. The ventricles are the main problem within…

lead to tremendous results. This assertion is exemplified by patients from two short stories The Deep by Anthony Doerr and The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The Deep is the story about a man named Tom who is diagnosed with Atrial Septal Defect, a disease which kills most people when they reach eighteen. When first identified that illness, Tom is restrained from doing anything outside and just allowed to do some chores. However, after he meets Ruby, who brings with him the…

kind — intellectual and developmental problems range from mild to moderate, some people are healthy while others have severe health problems. Children can have a variety of complications, some become more prominent as they get older, such as: Heart defects, Infectious diseases, Leukemia, dementia, obesity and sleep apnea. Life spans have dramatically increased for people with Down syndrome. In 1910, a baby often didn’t live to age 10. Today, someone with Downs can expect to live to age 60 and…

While providing care for Sari a number of clinical management issues arise. Firstly, Sari’s pregnancy was conceived through intrauterine insemination (IUI), risks associated with artificial reproductive technologies were likely reviewed with Sari and Jane prior to intervention . It is important that the midwife be aware of potential risks associated with this method of conception and able to review these with Sari and Jane if they have questions. IUI can include increased risks of preterm birth,…

Diseases affect both human and animal populations. The epidemic is worse in a wildlife case scenario. This is because the animals are scattered in the wild. It is hard to account for the infected animals. Furthermore, it is even harder to avail treatment to the infected animals. Wildlife is very important to our ecosystem. Besides, they are a tourist attraction. Therefore, wildlife must be protected from extinction. Australia continent is very famous for koalas. Koalas are very…
