ambulances, hospitals, etc. This is to show how it was first made, and who created it, and first developed it. Along with how it has helped people today in modern times. Understanding how willem einthoven had a compelling achievement in understanding the heart rhythms and how to analyze them. In this essay I will help you understand what is essential to vital human life today, and how it came to be understanding the electrocardiogram. Willem Einthoven was born in 1860, on May 21st, born in…

Coleus forskohlii. For many years, natives of Thailand, India and Nepal have used Forskolin to mend heart problems, angina and even hypertension. Apparently, the substance acts within the heart muscles and walls of the blood vessels to render an impressive heartbeat and widens the blood vessels. Consequently, it lowers blood pressure numbers, increases oxygen flow, and modifies or improves overall heart health, hence, the results are remarkably optimistic. More benefits of Forskolin…

Before the sixteenth century, the practice of medicine bore no relation to the practice of medicine today. Medical practices rested solely on the writings of the second-century physician Galen because it gave a rational explanation on how the heart, liver, veins, arteries, and lungs provided nourishment for the body. In addition, the strong influence of the Catholic Church on the Western world only made small attempts to discover the world by experimenting frugal. Instead, Galenism became a…

The patient exhibited rapid and faint peripheral pulses with HR120 bpm (tachycardia)), BP 90/50 mmHg (hypotension) and capillary refill of 4 seconds, extremities cool, clammy and molted, bilateral ankle edema and 3rd heart sound present. Documentation of carotid pulse presence but the absence of radial pulse, the patient may be experiencing cardiogenic shock. Here the poor contractibility of cardiac muscle causes stoke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO) to decline (Elliott…

is Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Tertralogy of Fallot is a birth defect and affects normal blood flow. During development in the mother’s womb, the heart of the baby does not form correctly and this condition is the result. This condition is a congenital defect, meaning that the child is born with this condition. There are four defects of the heart and the blood…

achieve this, the cardiovascular system is divided into two circuits- the pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit. The pulmonary circuit consists of the heart, lungs and pulmonary veins and pulmonary arteries. This circuit’s role is to pump deoxygenated blood to from the heart to the lungs; it then becomes oxygenated blood and returns to the heart. It then pumps the oxygenated blood to the body’s tissues, muscles and organs which provides them with nutrients. Once the oxygenated blood has…

of cardiac operations are performed every day in hospitals varying in complexity to treat several lesions such as coronary artery bypass graft, heart valve replacement and total heart replacement. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a crucial technique employed in the majority of these operations (Punjabi and Taylor 2013). It takes over the function of the heart and lungs during the surgery to maintain the adequate circulation of oxygen and nutrients over the procedure. 1.1.1 Coronary artery bypass…

UNIT 11 ASSIGNMENT 2 Anjelina Qureshi P3 Average Beats per Minute I took 3 reading of my beats per minute (BPM) to ensure I got an accurate result. I took 3 readings of 30 seconds and then multiplied them by 2 to get 3 readings of 60 seconds. I took my readings whilst sitting down and not talking having not done any physical activity (walking etc.) in the 10 minutes before I took my readings. Repeats Beats per 30 seconds Beats per minute 1 35 70 2 38 76 3 42 84 Mean 38.3 76.6 Decline of…

The heart is an essential part of a human’s body. It is a muscular organ located at the center of the circulatory system that pumps blood throughout the body. The system comprises of veins, arteries, and capillaries, and these blood vessels carry blood to and from all areas of one’s body to sustain life. It beats around 100,000 times and pumps around 2,000 gallons per day. The heart is vital to one’s health and everything that goes on in his or her body. The heart is also prone to many different…
