Coronary artery bypass surgery

deaths due to coronary heart disease. “Types and Conditions of CVD. The term cardio-vascular disease (CVD) encompasses a wide spectrum of disease, which include Ischaemic Heart Disease (IHD), heart diseses other than IHD, systemic arterial hypertension, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease (PVD). IHD is the prototype example of lifestyle disease; it is defined as a stake of lack of supply of oxygen to the myocardium vis-a-vis the demand due to narrowing of the coronary arteries as a result…

Cardiovascular System also known as the (Cardio) system, is the most vital system in the human body. The Cardio system is comprised of the heart which keeps the human species alive. The cardio system is not only comprised of the heart but blood vessels, and arteries which transport blood throughout the human body. Frequently, women and men experience problems with the cardio system, although throughout history the focus has been on men and cardio diseases; research proves that women are now…

1. Jamilah’s medical problem was discovered to be a heart attack. The heart attack is acute and not chronic. It is a critical condition and care must be taken immediately. A heart attack is not reversible. This an emergent situation, but not exactly a terminal condition. There are procedures that can be performed to improve Jamilah’s condition. 2. The goals of treatment would be to extend Jamilah’s life and possible improve her health. 3. Medical treatment is not indicated if it goes against the…

Purpose: To evaluate the use and efficacy of Stroke Thrombolysis as a treatment in a blocked artery that has caused ischemic stroke. Description of Pathology: Ischemic strokes account for 87% of all stroke incidents, making this type of stroke the most common. Ischemic strokes occur as a result of a blood clot plugging or obstructing an artery carrying blood to the brain. This keeps oxygen and nutrient rich blood from flowing into the brain. If this blockage persists for more than a few minutes…

Problem Statement The most common cause of death in the United States is the cardiovascular disease, the records show that more than 500,000 adult American die annually due to cardiovascular disease. About 60% of these deaths due to sudden cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest always comes sudden without any warning, it affects both young and adult, and the symptoms of the affected patient are no breathing and loss of consciousness. It can happen at any place home, work and other places. Most of these…

disease in the United States is coronary artery disease, which affects the blood flow to the heart. Diminished blood movement can cause a heart attack. Heart Disease, which is a silent killer, has taken the lives of many. Be it young or old. Nevertheless, with the advancement in technology, research, and more educations, people are learning different ways in which it can be prevented or cure. Besides, physicians are discovering different ways in which heart surgery can be less invasive. History…

thickening in the arterial wall called an Atheroma (or "fibro-fatty plaque"). Atheroma narrows the lumen of arteries and weakens the vessel wall. Atherosclerosis begins in childhood and slowly progresses throughout life. Typically, it produces symptomatic clinical disease during the fifth and sixth decades of life. The atheromatous plaque is a raised lesion within the intima of arteries composed of a core of cholesterol, necrotic cellular debris and inflammatory cells. This is covered by a…

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a narrowing of the small blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. While the symptoms and signs of coronary artery disease are noted in the advanced state of disease, most individuals with coronary artery disease show no evidence of disease for decades as the disease progresses before the first onset of symptoms, often a "sudden" heart attack, finally arises (Gaziano et al.,…

Why do we need to be aware of heart disease in women? Heart disease is normally thought of as a “men’s disease”; however, statistically women are affected as much as men are. Signs and symptoms in women are not necessarily the classic symptoms of chest pain. Many women experience no signs or symptoms until they have heart failure, irregular heartbeat, or a heart attack (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute [NIH], 2014a). Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women, affecting…

Acute coronary syndromes is an umbrella term that includes several cardiac ischemic events.1 The broad term of ACS entails ST segment elevation-ACS (STE-ACS) and non-ST segment elevation ACS (NSTE-ACS) based on the initial electrocardio- gram(ECG) finding.4 ACS usually occurs as a sudden reduction in blood flow to the coronary arteries due to rupture of the atherosclerotic plaque, which subsequently leads to myocardial ischemia or/and infarction.1, 2, 3 The American Heart Association (AHA)…
