Brachial artery

The medical term for a heart attack is known as a myocardial infarction. Typically, in unhealthy adults with cardiac conditions coronary arteries become blocked. The myocardium is then denied oxygen and will ultimately die or infarct. This is condition is commonly known as a heart attack. One of the listed known medical conditions of the victim in the report was Cardiac arrhythmia – left…

with a history of a high-fat diet resulting in a “beer belly” and large waist circumference, and the desire to be anywhere rather than the hospital. After further testing involving a cardiac catheterization, the patient is diagnosed with coronary artery disease, which was the underlying…

when the heart muscle is starved of oxygen-rich blood, causing damage to the heart muscle (British heart Foundation, 2014). According to NICE guidelines (2014) heart attacks are mostly caused by coronary heart disease (CHD). CHD is when coronary arteries that supply the heart muscle with oxygen-rich blood become narrowed by a gradual build-up of fatty material within their walls. Heart attack is known to be common cause of death although it is been reported by NICE guidelines (2014) that deaths…

According to the American Heart Association, the standard disease course of heart disease consists of 4 different classes of the patient’s symptoms and quality of life, which are mild I, mild II, moderate, and severe (“Classes of Heart Failure”, 2015). Doctors base the progression of the disease based on an individual’s limitations during physical activity. Mild I refers to no limitations and no signs or symptoms of heart issues. Mild II refers to a slight limitation during physical activity,…

Stress is perceived as something negative, sometimes produced by the demand of work or school. Stress is the physical or psychological reaction to a change or challenge in one’s life. There are two types of stress: Eustress and Distress. Eustress is the positive kind of stress, like that connected with getting married or buying a home. Distress is the complete opposite, like filing for divorce or unemployment. A stressful life can contribute to the development of cancer, heart attacks, and…

intracellular edema. The essential danger variables for venous ulcer advancement are more established age, stoutness, past leg wounds, profound venous thrombosis, and phlebitis. The determination of venous ulcers finished with tests, for example, lower leg brachial file, shade duplex ultrasonography, plethysmography, and venography may be useful if the conclusion is misty. Pressure is the pillar of venous ulcer administration. Evaluated clamping, with most prominent weight (around 40 mm Hg) at…

2. ARTERIAL BLOOD GAS (ABG) It measures the acidity and the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood from an artery. This analysis is used to check how well your lungs are able to move oxygen into the blood and remove carbon dioxide from the blood. Mrs Kelly is hypoxaemic with a slightly low PaO2 and SaO2 on 93% O2. Her pH is less than 7.35 and therefore she is…

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a condition in which the force of the blood against the artery walls is high enough that it can eventually cause health problems. When the heart beats, is crates pressure that pushes blood through the arteries. Blood pressure is the result of this “push”, or force. There are two forces; one occurs when the blood pumps out of the heart and into the arteries and the second occurs as the heart rests between beats. These two forces each represent the numbers…

Day 1 Summary: John is a 62-year-old male smoker who has presented with concerning a BMI and blood test results. Q1. John’s low density glycoprotein levels are higher than the target level (actual level 5.6, target 1.0). Long term decreased high density glycoprotein level leads to a build-up of cholesterol in the body. Additionally, John’s triglyceride levels are above the recommended target level (actual level 5.7, target level <4.0). This supports the other data gathered, suggesting that…

The males tested had the greatest average resting mean arterial pressure overall at rest and immediately after the two-minute workout. All the female’s mean arterial pressures recovered following four min after the exercise. In contrast, three out of the five males recovered although they had a much lower rate change in comparison to the females. This data is illustrated in graphs four, five, and six. Pulse rate The females tested on average had a significantly greater pulse rate at rest and…
