Table 10: Echocardiographic parameters (EF and diastolic function) of the studied patients
According to Table 10:
•As regard EF, the mean EF of the studied patients group without CHF was (56.67±4.71) and that of the group with CHF was (42.21±4.68). There was significant difference between two groups (P < 0.05).

    Second, their left side of the heart has a blockage and blood buildup, which is abnormal and will not have a normal electrical signal such as the P-wave and T-wave, throughout the heart. The P-wave and T-wave will have a distinct pattern because the atrial and ventricle will not depolarize and repolarize normally. The EKG for this patient will have a longer QRS complex and T wave because the left atrial and ventricles will not repolarize efficiently. The P-R and Q-T interval will also have a longer range than 0.20 second due to weaken electrical conduction that causes by the heart…

Ever since more land has begun to be lost, salt intrusion has affected the freshwater swamps causing Cypress Trees to die and continue the cycle of land loss ("Salt Tolerance of Southern Baldcypress"). This experiment’s results were to help the understanding of Cypress Tree salt tolerance and discover why the Cypress Swamps are struggling to recover.…

    Congestive Heart Failure Congestive heart failure is a progressive condition in which fluid builds up around the heart and causes pumping of the heart to become more and more difficult. Heart failure (CHF) occurs when the ventricles of your heart can’t pump blood sufficiently, causing fluid to build up not only around your heart but lungs, abdomen, and liver as well. There are multiple different types of CHF, the most common being left-sided which is when the left ventricle is weakened. Along with that, there are two separate types of left-sided CHF which are known as Systolic HF, where the ventricle fails to contract correctly and Diastolic HF, where the ventricle stiffens, according to, http://www.healthline.com/health/congestive-heart-failure#Overview1.…

    Heart Failure is a condition that develops over time and can be caused by many different heart problems. Heart failure is most often a chronic condition. There is several classifications under this condition for example in systolic failure the heart cannot contract adequately to eject sufficient blood volume. In diastolic heart failure there is impaired ventricular relaxation and impaired filling creating the inability of the heart to fill with blood or to pump enough blood to the body to meet its metabolic need. Another classification includes Right-sided heart failure it occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood into the lungs for gas exchange.…

    The heart is one of the major organs in the body that is essential. The heart is considered a pump that helps the blood flow, continuously, throughout the body. The heart is located under the rib cage, between the lungs, and more on the left side of the breastbone. It has two major coronary arteries, electrical impulses, four chambers, and four valves to help the blood flow one way. Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium from the superior and inferior vena cava.…

    • Introduction : Congestive heart failure (CHF) is specifically known as congestive cardiac failure (CCF) in the scientific papers. The term ‘’CHF’’ describes a debilitating condition in which the heart 's function as a pump is unable to deliver an adequate amount of rich-oxygen blood to the rest of the body and the fluid builds up in the body and other organs making the heart congested. CHF results from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that weakens the pumping ability of the heart, for instance, congestion of the arteries or a general weakness of the heart muscle caused by having unhealthy life styles. CHF is classified into two types: systolic dysfunction and diastolic dysfunction. The patients who have heart failures commonly experience the symptoms like breathlessness, excessive tiredness, leg swelling, etc.…

    Cardiovascular diseases considered as number one killer in United States. 42.7 percent out of two million people who have heart diseases die each year. Coronary arteries’ function is to supply the heart with oxygen-rich blood. When less blood and oxygen flow to the heart, it means the coronary artries narrow. This type of situation is called coronary artery disease, or atherosclerosis means the hardening of the arteries in which fatty deposits build up inside the coronary arteries.…
