The Left Ventricular Assist Device Congestive heart failure is defined as a disease that develops when the heart is unable to pump enough blood through the body to sustain life. It is estimated that there are currently over five million people in the United States suffering from heart failure (Trivedi, Cheng, Singh, Williams, & Slaughter, 2014). For a patient with heart failure, the best hope of survival is a heart transplant (Dumitru, 2015). Unfortunately, heart transplants are not always…

heart and blood vessels” (n.p.). CVD is also known as Heart Disease (American Heart Association [AHA], 2015). According to Roger, Lloyd-Jones, Berry, et al. (2011) there are numerous types of cardiovascular diseases including: hypertension, coronary artery disease, congenital cardiovascular defects, stroke, congestive heart failure, atherosclerosis (hardening or narrowing of the blood vessels) and other diseases of the circulatory system. CVD is a significant issue in the United States (U.S.).…

DOI: 11/8/2004. Patient is a 56-year-old male central processing technician who sustained cumulative trauma to his wrists and cervical spine. As per OMNI, he is diagnosed with cervical disc disease and bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome. He underwent a cervical ESI on 03/31/10. He is status post cervical fusion on 9/15/11 and status post carpal tunnel releases. MRI of the cervical spine obtained on 05/19/14 demonstrated no significant interval change compared to prior study. Anterior fusion with…

Extreme cold and heat temperatures can have severe consequences on the body as well as hinder the physiological processes of the human body in innumerable ways. When the human body is experiencing extreme levels of Heat; such as a heat wave, damage can occur to the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, and liver. In cold weather, the body can lose heat faster than it is produced, which uses up stored energy and can lead to hypothermia. Hypothermia happens at extremely low temperatures while not wearing…

Heart failure is a complicated syndrome characterised by reduced heart productivity and subsequent haemodynamic and neurohormonal responses (Poole-Wilson 1985). Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most common pattern of congestive cardiac failure in older people (Nicholson, 2014). Congestive cardiac failure can be caused by a number of pathological conditions, some of these conditions can be reversed through medications and natural remedies but others may not be (Nicholson, 2014). Patients can have…

In addition pulmonary amoebiasis can occur when the right lobe lesions penetrate to the diaphragm. Cerebral amoebiasis, cutaneous amoebiasis, amoebic pericarditis and splenic abscess are some of the other metastatic lesions caused by the E. histolytica. Pleuropulmonary amebiasis is one of the abundant complication in the amebic liver abscess. The abscess in right lobe rupture through the diaphragm to cause pleural effusion and atelectasis. Pericardial amebiasis is a complication that causes…

A 38 years old gentleman presented to orthopaedic outpatient department with complains of pain in the left foot following a twisting injury. On examination, it was noticed that the patient had deformed toes in both the feet since birth. The deformity was not associated with any other complains. There was no familial history of the same. General and systemic examination of the patient was within normal limits. There was no history of any congenital condition which might point towards any syndrome…

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 insufficiency to pump blood to meet metabolic need of body , there are two…

blood vessels that are, arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins. Veins are the blood vessels that transmit blood back to the heart. They may contain valves that stop blood flowing…

During one year, the heart initiates approximately 32 million heartbeats to pump blood around the body, beating a total of 60-80 times per minute at a normal pace. It is a highly efficient organ and constantly works to keep our blood circulation going and ourselves alive. The high efficiency of the heart pumping system originates in a conductive system, which is linked to the Sinoatrial (S-A) and Atrioventricular (A-V) node. The Sinoatrial node, also known as the natural cardiac pacemaker, is…
