VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA Description Ventricular tachycardia is a type of Ventricular arrhythmia, or a rapid heart beat that arises from improper electrical activity of the heart presenting as a rapid heart rhythm. It starts in the bottom chambers of the heart, called the ventricles. This is a potentially life-threatening arrhythmia because it can cause low blood pressure and may lead to ventricular fibrillation, asystole, and sudden death. Causes Arrhythmias are due to problems with the…

their mother” (Granzen, 2014). There was a likelihood that the two boys were Karen’s children so “the doctors then took other tissue samples from Karen’s thyroid gland, mouth and hair. The team of doctors found that Karen had one type of DNA in one tissue and another type of DNA in another tissue, including the mysterious haplotype that was found in her two sons” (Granzen, 2014). After a long and tedious process “the doctors concluded that Karen’s differing DNA was the result of tetragametic…

impact of chronic stress on heart rate, blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke.9 The INTERHEART Study, which followed almost 30,000 participants in 52 countries, identified stress as one of the key modifiable risk factors for heart attack. Historically, the increased risk of CVD from chronic stress has been linked to arterial plaque build-up due to elevated cholesterol, hardening of the arteries, alterations in heart rhythm, increased and fluctuating blood pressures, and difficulties in…

I could tell that my body had undergone some of these physiological adaptations because my RPE had gone down from a 6 to a 5 on the same type of run from week 1 to week 4, meaning that my heart rate had also gone down for the same amount of work (122bpm --> 102bpm). I would also expect to see a decrease in my resting heart rate from before to after, but unfortunately I did not take my resting…

Managing your Rosacea Information, Symptoms, and Treatment on managing your Rosacea What is Rosacea? Rosacea, pronounced "roh-ZAY-sha", is a non-contagious auto-immune skin disorder estimated to affect at least 16 million in the U.S. alone. (Gary W. Cole) It typically begins between the ages of 30 and 60 as redness on the cheeks, nose, chin, or forehead, but overtime the condition may spread to the neck, ears, and chest. Rosacea is characterized by developing primarily on the skin of…

Marfan Syndrome is a disease causing effects to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, lungs, bones and joints. Other parts of the body which can be affected are the hands, chest, torso and the length or tallness. For those who play sports this disease can end their careers. Due to the pressure around the heart, lungs and blood vessels heavy activity is could lead to death. I chose this topic because I was tested for Marfan Syndrome due to large hands which are referred to as basket hands and for…

Many patterns/trends were found within the data collected and observed. One pattern found was the difference between the heart rate right after the 2 minute exercise from the intermediate to vigorous. Thomas’s intermediate heart rate was 140 bpm and it drastically went up to 186 bpm after his vigorous exercise. It was the same for Jaclyn: her intermediate heart rate was 132 bpm and it went up after her vigorous exercise to 136 bpm. Therefore, her heart rate increased minimally by 3% while…

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, the heart muscle can’t contract normally and it became more difficult for blood to flow…

with fluid and plasma oozing. In addition, to leukocytes leaving to the extravascular tissues, which are mainly habited by neutrophils. Chronic inflammation, additionally, is associated with lymphocytes and macrophages, while having an increase in blood vessels, also, dealing with fibrosis and tissue necrosis. An example of each would be, a sore throat from a cold for acute inflammation and asthma for chronic inflammation. A2: Platelets are…

The thickest muscle of the heart composed of cardiac muscle responsible for heart contraction to facilitate blood pumping in the ventricles. Results of myocarditis is because of bacterial infection to the heart tissue through the bloodstream. Depending on the severity and type of infection it is, myocarditis symptoms can vary. Mild carditis symptoms majority of the time has no noticeable symptoms but most often feeling ill without knowing…
