1- Blood, Heart, and Vessels
1)WHy are lymph nodes enlarged (adenopathy)? How does this fit with his CBC test?
J.T’s lymph nodes are enlarged due to a high count of white blood cell count . Jt has a high white blood cell count because his body is trying to fight off an infection.
2) What is the most likely diagnosis that explains all of J.T’s symptoms and lab results?
J.T. has Acute Myeloid Leukemia, his symptoms are fatigue, shortness of breath, bleeding, bone pain, minor cuts won't heal, and easily bruising. J.T’s bone marrow biopsy results show >90 % of lymphoid cells in the marrow are monotypic/monoclonal B-lymphocytes. This means that the stem cells that produce myeloblasts develop immature abnormal cells,

Normal ST segment should not be elevated and N.K’s shows ST segment elevated in ER.
6) What is the most likely diagnosis for patient # 1, angina or and acute myocardial infarction? Why key evidences led you do that conclusion?
N.K. acute myocardial infarction, because ST segment is elevated and T wave is peaked meaning he is not getting enough oxygen.
7) examine the patient's history and blood lipid results. What do the results of these test, in combination with his BMI tell you about a possible cause of his condition.
N.K. had plaque formation in his coronary artery due to high levels of bad cholesterol, and being overweight caused his condition.
8) what does the presence of a Q-wave on patient #1 ecg one day after admission to the er indicate about the condition of his heart.
A day after admission N.K. ’s EKG shows R wave decreasing meaning AV nodes are not firing, Q wave shows AV nodes not filling ventricles, an ST is more elevated. Meaning N.K. is having a complete obstruction in coronary artery this is called myocardial infarction.
9) what minimally invasive procedure could be used to treat patient # 1’s coronary artery
…show more content…
4) what is the final diagnosis of patient # 2 heart condition name the
(disease)?
Enlarge heart, heart failure hypertrophic cardiomyopathy because the thickened heart muscle and chambers are thick and stiff and don't allow heart to fill. 5) describe how G.L condition caused syncope following exercise?
Exercises increases heart rate and stroke volume so cardiac output is high. But due to the fact that G.L has a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy his cardiac output is low because the lack of heart filling.
6) what is left ventricular hypertrophy? Why would G.L condition cause left ventricular hypertrophy?
Left ventricular hypertrophy is when the heart muscle is thickened the chambers are stiff and thick and this does not allow the heart to fill. 7) what does the inverted T- wave indicate? Why does it appear only when the patient exercises.
T wave indicates repolarization of ventricles. And when exercising the demand of ventricles high but the recovery of the ventricular muscle is not able reach resting state. 8) what two procedures are typically used to treat G.L condition?
Pacemaker, or medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, and calcium channel blockers.

    For the most part, athletes EKG's are normal or have slight electrical changes. The most commonly reported alterations are early depolarization patterns, increased QRS voltages, diffuse T-wave inversion, and deep Q waves. Sinus bradycardia, which is an abnormally slow heart rate below 60 bpm, is considered normal in athletes at rest and is mostly without symptoms. The heart has become so efficient, it delivers large volumes of blood with each beat, so fewer beats are needed. Another type of arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, can actually be a problem in athletes.…

    What side of the heart is affected by congestive heart failure (right, left, or both)? At the point when the right half of the heart starts to work less effectively, it can't pump much blood into the vessels of the lungs. Would Fluid accumulate somewhere? If so, Where? Explain your answer. Yes, Congestive heart failure (CHF) happens when the heart's pumping activity turns out to be weak to the point that liquid starts to amass in the lungs and other body tissues.…

The following manifestations are present in CHF and are symptoms of decreased cardiac output that include weakness, fatigue, syncope, dizziness, decreased exercise tolerance. CHF also manifests increased pressure and congestion behind a failing ventricle. For example in the left ventricle failure sign and symptoms will include SOB, dyspnea, tachypnea; orthopnea, crackles, cough, and s3 gallops.…

    • Inflammation of the heart muscle from autoimmune diseases. The pathophysiological changes: the dilated cardiomyopathy is a condition characterized by enlargement of the left ventricle and systolic dysfunction with greater cavity size in the left ventricle with little or no wall hypertrophy, this can lead to enlargement of the remaining heart muscle due to the failure of the left ventricle (secondary cardiomyopathy process). The progressive dilation can lead to significant mitral and tricuspid regurgitation, which in turn can lead to further dilation and myocardial dysfunction, systolic dysfunction leads to diastolic dysfunction and the when the atrial pressure increase and the atrial wall dilated, the pressure of the vein increase leading to congestive heart failure (Emedicine.medscape.com, 2017) (Mayo Clinic, 2017).…

    I will be discussing two diseases that require diagnostic test identifying them from the body system. The first disease will be from the cardiovascular system pertaining to congestive heart failure (CHF) and the second will be from hepatobiliary system concerning gallstones. This paper will cover topics such as: certain test that are required; how the test works; the information obtained from the diagnostic test; and does another diagnostic test need to be conducted in order to confirm a diagnosis. Congestive heart failure is a condition of the hearts muscles failing to pump the necessary blood for the body to function (Mayo Clinic, 2017). For example, coronary artery disease is a condition involving the hearts arteries becoming narrow…

    A growing number of non-cardiac drugs have been found to delay cardiac repolarization, causing QT interval prolongation and predisposing patients to an increased risk of potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmias, known as torsade de pointes (TdP) (Letsas et al, 2007; Yap and Camm 2003; Sanguinetti and Tristani-Firouzi). These drugs include the second-generation, non-sedating antihistamines astemizole and terfenadine, withdrawn from the market in Europe and the United States (in 1997 and 1999, respectively) due to cardiac safety concerns (Davila et al, 2006; Kannankeril et al, 2010; WHO, 2011). Drugs with the potential to cause TdP most frequently inhibit the rapid component of the delayed rectifier potassium current (IKr), which causes a…
