and will worsen rapidly after that. Those who are affected will have delayed motor skills such as sitting and walking. DMD is also associated with a heart condition known as cardiomyopathy. This disease weakens the cardiac muscle which in this case. Prevents the heart from pumping blood. Symptoms of a dilated cardiomyopathy can include an irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath and extreme…

Heart Failure is a condition that develops over time and can be caused by many different heart problems. Heart failure is most often a chronic condition. There is several classifications under this condition for example in systolic failure the heart cannot contract adequately to eject sufficient blood volume. In diastolic heart failure there is impaired ventricular relaxation and impaired filling creating the inability of the heart to fill with blood or to pump enough blood to the body to meet…

The difference diagnosis of Cantu syndrome is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy as well as other syndromes. The treatment for Cantu Syndrome option for the patent ductus botalli in early life.

conducted with a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (diflunisal) to reduce and prevent the progression of amyloid fibrils deposition in neuropathy amyloid, and ATTRm cardiac amyloidosis.

myocardial viability of a 59 year old male who was admitted with a chest pain. Patient experiencing ischemia may have symptoms of nausea, angina, or pain in the chest. As major risk factors of ischemia include CAD, coronary artery anomalies or Cardiomyopathy, the patient had an angiogram scan which showed a complex multi-vessel disease of the coronary arteries (Koulaouzidis, 2013). CMR was requested to assess myocardial viability , thus help in making decision regarding surgery or Percutaneous…

NEPHROGENIC DIABETES INSIPIDUS ASSOCIATED WITH RHABDOMYOLISIS Introduction Diabetes insipidus (DI) presents with hypernatremia and consequent hyperosmolality in individuals with an impaired thirst mechanism or no free access to water. Hyperosmolality was found to be associated with rhabdomyolisis, a disease consist of elevated serum creatinine kinase (CPK) and myoglobinuria. Fluid resuscitation is the mainstay of the treatment to prevent life-threatening complications including acute…

Introduction Congenital Heart Disease is apart of the respiratory system. The respiratory system is very important and fragile. It constitutes many functions with in the body. Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a series of cardiac defects. This disease is mostly prevalent at birth. However, it can develop at a later stage in life. It has become very significant in adulthood. There are many forms of CHD. For example, atrial septal defects and ventricular septal defects. The heart is a very complex…

1. Jamie’s oxygenation problem are due to: a. Working in mines: According to Safe Work Australia (2006) mines are usually considered as an oxygen-deficient atmosphere with high levels of dust that can trigger asthma (Occupational Respiratory Diseases in Australia, 2006) b. Avoiding prescribed medication: not taking medication can result in shortness of breath, coughing and an overall failure to control asthma (Gibbons, 2013). 2. Data that indicate an oxygen deficit are: a. Normal to high…
