Angiotensin

four proteins found in Ganoderma lucidum that contribute to the lowering of blood pressure. In order to treat hypertensions on must lower blood pressure that is at a high rate into a more standard rate. The Angiotensin converting enzyme, also know as ACE, is a main component of the Renin angiotensin aldosterone system in…

Thank you for responding on my post. I agreed your statement that heart failure is complex diagnosis also pharmacological treatments depends on the condition type, severity, etiology. Heart failure is one of the most frequent cardiac diagnosis for hospitalization to patient, the undesirable effect of long term coronary artery disease also increase prevalence of heart failure (Ciccone,2016). Congestive heart failure (CHF) or heart failure most commonly refer as decompensation and cardiac…

Angiotensin II, as a strong vasoconstrictor, increases blood pressure by stimulating the systemic vascular resistance and the raise of the blood volume, therefore the blood pressure too.Angiotensin II also stimulates the production of aldestorne by the adrenal…

Hypertension Biology 202 Summer 2016 8 a.m. Online Devynne Carter Hypertension is when a person’s force of blood against the artery walls is consistently elevated over a long period of time and causes a constant blood pressure reading above 140/90 mm Hg. When blood pressure is high over long periods of time it can cause permanent long term effects to the blood vessels. You get this reading by measuring how much blood is pumped out of the heart and the overall resistance of the…

Hypertension is a heterogeneous disorder that may result either from a specific cause (secondary hypertension) or from an underlying pathophysiologic mechanism of unknown etiology (primary or essential hypertension). Secondary hypertension accounts for fewer than 10% of cases, and most of these are caused by chronic kidney disease or renovascular disease. Other conditions causing secondary hypertension include pheochromocytoma, Cushing’s syndrome, hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, primary…

its safety. There are also other adverse effects of Spironolactone which involve the issue of severe hyperkalaemia, especially when Spironolactone is co-administered with other diuretics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. (7) However, as James’ was not given NSAIDs along with Spironolactone, his chances of these adverse effects such as hyperkalaemia occuring are relatively low. In addition, Spironolactone is thought to be not…

Introduction The cardiovascular system provides appropriate organ and tissue perfusion at rest and at times of stress by regulation of blood pressure (BP). BP can be expressed as the product of cardiac output (CO) and peripheral resistance. The arterial pressure level at any given time reflects the composite activities of the heart and the peripheral circulation.(Jones, 2004). Nervous system, hormonal and Kidney factors control blood pressure. 1. Nervous System 1.1 CO – Cardiac output CO…

TITLE: Afterload reduction and beneficial in the management of heart failure Jose R Tapanes International Institute for Health Care Professionals Abstract Afterload is the pressure in the wall of the left ventricle during ejection. In other words, it is the end load against which the heart contracts to eject blood. Afterload is divided into components: one factor is the aortic pressure the left ventricular muscle must overcome to eject blood. There is an inverse relationship between afterload…

The possible causes for this disorder can be due to an abnormalities in cardiac structure, function, rhythm or conduction. In developed countries, ventricular dysfunction is a frequent problem, which can be a result from myocardial infarction (systolic dysfunction), hypertension (diastolic and systolic dysfunction) or both (Krum and Abraham, 2009). For children, the various causes of congestive heart failure differ slightly to adults. This condition can develop due to volume and pressure…

Normal standards for specific gravity are as typically as follows: 1.000 to 1.030 is a normal specific gravity, 1.001 after drinking excessive amounts of water, more than 1.030 after not drinking very many fluids and concentrated after receiving an antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Max’s urine concentration varied in concentration each time he was tested. The first test showed that his urine was a pale yellow which was an indication that he was hydrated. The second test showed the concentration to be…
