insulin sensitizing agents can increase ovulation rates in some women with PCOS. Metformin has been used widely for that purpose. Aromatase Inhibitors Anastrozole and letrozole are triazole derivatives that act as potent, competitive, nonsteroidal inhibitors of aromatase. Aromatase is an enzyme which catalyzes the rate-limiting step in estrogen production. Letrozole inhibits estrogen production in the hypothalamus–pituitary axis, which results in compensatory increase in gonadotropin-releasing…

Heart Attack Heart attack is the consequence and progression of worsening CAD. The coronary artery become partial of completely blocked and suddenly stop the blood flow. Without oxygen part of the heart become permanently damaged and loses its ability of contractility; resulting in scarred area or necrosis. These damage are permanent or irreversible (Mozaffarian et al., 2015). Cardiomyopathy Cardiomyopathy is a diseased heart muscle. The chambers of the heart enlarge and the heart muscle…

Congestive Heart Failure or CHF is a disease that makes it hard for the body to pump enough oxygen-rich blood to the body's organs. The heart muscle becomes damaged from other conditions such as myocardial ischemia, hypertension and arrhythmia. When this happens the heart is very weak, but it works too hard to efficiently pump enough oxygen-rich blood to the body resulting in life-threatening congestion. Congestive heart failure can affect all ages, from children to the elderly. Almost five…

Mr. Michael is 70yrs old that weights 185lb and height of 65 inches. He has hypertension, diarrhea, depression, glaucoma, and osteoporosis. Blood pressure goes up when you are active and down when you are resting or sleeping. Sudden, dangerously high, and life-threatening blood pressure is called hypertension. His blood pressure is 170/80mmhg. Several types of drugs are used to control hypertension. These medications may be used alone or combination with other drugs. ACE inhibitors block…

1. Assessing the abnormal lung and heart sounds is imperative. This intervention enables detection of heart failure. 2. Monitor pulse/blood pressure. Patients with heart disease suffer from high blood pressure caused by initiation of the rennin-angiotensin mechanism (Gulanick & Myers, 2014). 3. Analyze the laboratory results and diagnosis results. This step helps in getting clues about the status of the heart disease. 4. Administer cardiac glycoside agents. This agent promotes the myocardium…

(Janssen et al. 2012). Previous studies reports , CB synthesizes and expresses multiple neuro endocrine proteins such as different as neurotensin, natriuretic peptides,and somatostatin, steroid-converting enzymes, transferrin, transthyretin,angiotensin, and growth factors(Coca-Prados and Escribano 2007) these endocrine molecules play role in regulating IOP, the composition of the aqueous humor. The ocular microenvironment of blood-aqueous barrier is anti-inflammatory, minimizes ocular…

dizziness. Anti-arrhythmics may cause dizziness, blurred vision,anorexia, unusual taste,fatigue, nausea and vomiting Antiplatelet drugs can cause diarrhea, rash or itching,pain in abdomen,headache,chest pain, muscle aches, and dizziness.Side effects of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors include cough, elevated blood potassium levels, low blood pressure, dizziness, headache, drowsiness, weakness, abnormal taste, and rash. Side effects of anticoagulants are bleeding and necrosis of the…

method mostly includes lifestyle changes such as reduction if alcohol intake, smoking, and stress, losing weight, exercise, and healthy diet. The second method is through drug therapy and includes medications such as diuretics, beta blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, and calcium-channel blockers. Prevention of this disease simply includes lifestyle changes. These changes consist of regular aerobic exercise, limiting your intake of salt and alcoholic beverages, eating a…

The dilated cardiomyopathy is a progressive and chronic disease of the heart muscles, the most common type of cardiomyopathies, occurring mostly in adults 20 to 60, more common in men, usually starting in the heart's main pumping chamber (left ventricle), the muscles of the heart starts to stretch and to become thinner leading consequently to enlargement inside the chamber of the heart and can spreads to the right ventricle and then to the atria (Bhf.org.uk, 2017). When the heart chambers dilate…

Advances in health care have seen an increase in life expectancy globally and though people are living longer, they are not living without complications: as seen in the elderly who currently make up the largest age group. There is increasing prevalence of hypertension with age, and is a precursor for illnesses such as CVA, coronary heart failure, kidney disease and dementia (Porth, 2017). Hypertension is an amendable condition through a variety of ventures (Brito, 2014) and it might be in the…
