Non-ST Segment Elevation Heart Attack A heart attack occurs when a blood vessel on the surface of the heart (coronary artery) is blocked and interrupts blood supply to the heart muscle. This causes that area of the heart muscle to permanently scar. This blockage may be caused by cholesterol buildup (atherosclerotic plaque) within a coronary artery. The plaque cracks which creates a rough surface where blood cells attach, forming a clot. Chest discomfort that happens with exertion and goes away…

pressures in the blood vessels in the airway) due to any internal or external stimuli. The system that is closely associated with asthma is the respiratory system. The way that the respiratory system is responsible for many things such as proving our internal organs with oxygen and to remove carbon dioxide from the body. There are many components of the respiratory system; the first part of it is the nose. The nose…

to help patients live longer until they get a heart transplant. Benefits of artificial hearts are that it is promptly accessible and there is no requirement for immunosuppressive medications. The diminished blood stream weakens the capacity of fundamental organs. Artificial heart raises the blood pressure and helps recovering vital organs while the patient is waiting for a heart transplant (HealthGuideInfo). This device has permitted patients to go home, even with a completely embedded…

Calcium channel blockers can also cause side effects, and may need to be avoided if you have heart failure or low blood pressure. Sometimes medications or cardioversion to control atrial fibrillation does not work. In those cases, the doctor may recommend a procedure to destroy the area of heart tissue that’s causing the erratic electrical signals and restore the heart…

The cardiovascular system There are four major functions of the cardiovascular system, these include: the transportation of nutrients, gases and waste products around the body, the protection of the body from infections and blood…

is a cause of death. Congestive heart failure would be when the heart does not pump blood as well as it should. According to Mayo Clinic it states that, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors help someones hearts get in good or even better conditions. Essentially, ACE helps people with systolic heart failure. Systolic heart failure is when the ejection fraction is decreased, this leaves an unusual volume of blood in the left ventricle. This drug helps people with systolic heart failure feel…

Hemophilia Hemophilia is a rare hereditary bleeding disorder where the blood cannot clot normally at the site of a wound or injury. Where someone who has a minor cut can profusely bleed, and it can get so bad that it could end up making them sick. There are two types of hemophilia, Type A and Type B. Type A: Is the most common type, it is caused by lacking Factor VII, which is one of the proteins to help blood form clots. Type B is caused by lacking Factor IX. Hemophilia is normally diagnosed…

thing I did was I sketched the crime scene. I had noted was that the blood splatter directly below the head of the body was approximately thirteen feet from the North wall and about four feet ten inches from the East wall. My partner Caesar tested the blood with a hemastick and found it was positive for blood. He also took a blood swab from the blood below the body’s head, and took a control sample from the area outside of the blood splatter. He then properly packaged this evidence and submitted…

placed in the chest or even the abdomen that is used to control abnormal heart rhythms. The pacemaker uses energy electrical (low) pulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate. There are four valves in the heart which prevents the backflow of blood. They are the bicuspid valve, tricuspid valve, aortic semilunar valve and the pulmonary semilunar valve. The bicuspid valve is located between the left atrium and ventricle. The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and…
