Coronary artery bypass surgery

Preoperative evaluation Cardiac surgery, including coronary artery bypass grafting and surgery for valvular disease, represents one of the most common classes of surgical procedures performed worldwide.

Greater numbers of patients with depressed left ventricular function, multiple comorbidities, failed…

but in their shoulders, arms, neck, or back. These are all the symptoms commonly found in patients experiencing a heart disease. Specifically, the coronary artery disease (CAD) is known to affect about 13 million people and remained the No. 1 killer in America. CAD resulted from cholesterol-laden plaque that build up in the arteries over time. The arteries that were once smooth and elastic became narrow and stiff, subsequently blocking blood flow to the heart and starving it of oxygen-rich…

is reduced, preventing it from receiving enough oxygen. The reduced blood flow is usually the result of a partial or complete blockage of your heart's arteries (coronary arteries). Myocardial ischemia, also called cardiac ischemia, can damage your heart muscle, reducing its ability to pump efficiently. A sudden, severe blockage of a coronary artery can lead to a heart attack. Myocardial ischemia might also cause serious abnormal heart…

In the article “ A study of lived experiences of registered nurses who have provided end-of-life care within an intensive care unit”, by Holms in 2014, the author discussed the qualitative research that was done to determine what registered nurse’s knew about life of end care and and how they felt about end of life care in the intensive care unit.

education, models of both normal and diseased hearts give cardiac surgeons an edge to combat the normal fears of individuals facing heart surgery. Doctors and surgeons can choose from normal-size or enlarged heart models, with or without coronary bypass definition, which show coronary and venal bypasses, including the ramus circumflexus of the left coronary artery, all displayed in accurate, intense color. The classic, two-part model comes on a stand, and the front heart wall is detachable to…
