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…

Diagnostic Tests For Atrial Fibrillation The initial foundation of the diagnosis of AF depends on the thorough physical examination and an ECG interpretation. In the Nottingham (2010) report, he cited the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA), the Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA), and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) diagnostic criteria for initial diagnosis of atrial fibrillation. This includes; a thorough history and physical…

Milnirone Milrinone, a bipyridine derivative, is a phosphodiesterase III (PDE) inhibitor that prevents the breakdown of cAMP and cGMP. Clinically, milrinone has replaced amrinone, the prototype PDE inhibitor owing to its greater intropic potency, enhanced PDE III selectivity, shorter half life and favorable adverse effect profile. Mechanism of action: Milrinone's selective inhibition of PDE III leads to elevated levels of cAMP with cardiac and smooth muscle cells. Consequently, positive…

leading to heart failure. A slow heartbeat can prevent the heart from getting enough blood out to the body and may also lead to heart failure. Avoidance of certain medications such as cold and cough medications, caffeine psychotropic medications and beta- blockers. Lifestyle changes is also helps to prevent development of heart failure in patients with this problem (AHA, 2014). Nursing interventions that can help prevent problems caused by multiple drug interactions in older…

blood pressure:Angiotensin-coverting enzyme inhibitors(ACE inhibitors ,calcium-channel blockers,angiotensin receptor blockers ,diuretics and beta-blockers Angiotensin-coverting enzyme inhibitors(ACE inhibitors) ACE inhibitors block the angiotensin-covering enzyme which leads to unwinding of blood vessels and dercreasing the quantity of re-absorped water in the kidneys Calcium-channel blockers Calcium-channel blockers lower the volume of calcium , going to the smooth muscle cells.Muscle cells…

Breathlessness and fatigue, and uncommon like loss appetite and weight gain or loss. Next, the risk factors divided into controllable such as diabetes and overweight and uncontrollable like age and race. After that, the treatment could be a drug like Beta blockers, or surgical like heart transplant. finally, we have to be aware of heart failure because it could be fatal if not treated…

Understanding the Pathophysiology, Laboratory, Diagnostic testing and Nursing Interventions for Graves’ Disease According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) (2012), “Graves’ disease, also known as toxic goiter, is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in the United States”. Hyperthyroidism is a disorder that occurs when the thyroid gland makes more thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) than the body needs. The thyroid gland helps control how the body…

Angle-closure glaucoma is defined as an obstruction of the flow of aqueous humor in the eye due to the iris and trabecular meshwork being too close together which creates a closed angle where 270 degrees or more of the angle is occluded.1 Occlusion of the angle causes the intraocular pressure (IOP) to elevate. Optic nerve damage can occur if IOP is greater than 40 mmHg and permanent vision loss can occur if an individual's IOP is greater than 60 mmHg.2 The incidence of angle-closure glaucoma…

The heart is the strongest and the most imperative organ in the human body. This remarkable machine keeps us alive from day to day. It is vital that we take care of our bodies so we can live a long healthy life. Even if we take care of ourselves through proper nutrition and daily exercise problems can occur which we are not at fault. Mitral valve prolapse is a condition that the cause is still unknown. Scientists believe it may be hereditary and people can be born with it, but never experience…
