Introduction: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays have provided a significant contribution for the early diagnosis of cardiovascular events due to their ability to detect lower concentrations of troponin levels more rapidly. There is significant evidence about the association between the absolute value of elevated cardiac troponin levels with the prognosis of patients with chest pain (3). However, it is well-known that elevated cardiac troponin levels may occur in situations other than…

thebuildup of fats or other deposits in blood vessels of the blood circulatory system. Substances such as tar from cigarettes can also coagulate in the arteries and cause heart failure. A person suffering from coronary heart disease will find the earliest indication in a form of acute chest pain and this is usually referred to as angina (Coronary artery disease, n.d.) This is because the heart has stopped functioning and the body reacts to this problem by increasing electrical pulses to the…

Purpose: To find out if there is a connection between stress and cardiovascular disease. Hypothesis: The author’s hypothesis is that since previous studies has concluded that there is a link between stress and higher activity in the bone marrow and arteries in animals, the same could apply to humans. The author hypotheses that there is a link between stress at one region of the human brain and the risk of heart attack and stroke. Method 239 patients participated in this research. These…

cause of PVD/PAD is atherosclerosis of the arteries. Atherosclerosis occurs when deposits of lipids and cholesterol obstruct and harden the arteries. This leads to progressive narrowing of the artery. When this takes place in the peripheral vessels, blood flow id compromised to the lower extremities, and is known as PVD/PAD. There are actually three types of Peripheral Vascular Disease. Type 1(10-15% of patients) involves the aorta and ileac arteries, type 2 (~ 25% of patients) involve the…

lungs. The network of blood vessels that branch over the surface of the heart are the coronary arteries. Figure 1 outlines the coronary arteries on the heart which supply the cardiac muscles with nutrients such as oxygen and glucose needed to survive [1]. Like any organ in the human body, the heart needs a constant supply of blood. Over time, fatty deposits can build up and form an atheroma on the artery lining. An atheroma is a hardened plaque caused by accumulated fatty deposits and scar…

Task 2 Part A Cebita Santhosh Q1. The three main types of blood vessels in the circulatory system are veins, arteries and capillaries. The veins carry deoxygenated blood from the capillaries back to the heart. The arteries carry blood away from the heart to your tissues. The capillaries are the smallest of the body's blood vessels, only one cell thick and are found in the muscles and lungs. Q2. Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure because of the extra water stored in the…

this presentation, it is important for you to understand a few important terms. Plaque is a sticky material containing fat, cholesterol, and calcium An artery is a tube that carries blood from the heart to the entire body Atherosclerosis is a uncommon disease defined by a buildup of plaque within arteries that can eventually completely block an artery. The disease can become very serious. Atherosclerosis can lead to many…

The three basic types of blood vessels, including capillaries, arteries and veins. • Arteries take oxygen-rich blood away from heart. • Veins take blood back toward heart. • Capillaries are very tiny blood vessels that form a connection between arteries and veins. Transfer of nutrients, oxygen and wastes in and out of body facilitated by the capillary. 3. The Blood The heart pumps blood throughout body. The…

Blood is pumped to the brain from the heart through four main arteries. These arteries deliver nutrients such as oxygen and glucose needed for neural tissue to survive and thrive. A stroke reduces or halts the blood being supplied to distal brain tissue thus depriving it of its basic needs for survival and as a result neural…

Progeria is an exceptionally rare genetic disease that causes premature aging, its estimated to affect one in four million newborns worldwide. The name originated from Greek, which means “prematurely old”. This genetic disease is fatal and it comes in many forms. Children diagnosed with Progeria usually appear normal, and throughout the first two years of life the disease will start to progress. Children with Progeria are expected to live about 13 years, although there are known cases in which…
