Coronary artery disease

Patient C.S. age 49, diagnosed with symptomatic gallbladder disease, underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed by surgeon M.M. The definition of a primary diagnosis is the condition, after study, which required the admission to a hospital. This patient had a primary diagnosis of symptomatic gallbladder disease, which is caused by gallstones or cholelithiasis. Gallstones are deposits of hardened fluid within the gallbladder that can block the common bile duct. The gallbladder is a…

Definition- Abnormal heart conditions related to the structure, function, or vessels of the heart or its muscles & valves. • Congenital Heart Disease- Any abnormality with the heart at the time of birth.  Patent ductus arteriosus- ductus arteriosus fails to close after birth  Tetralogy of fallot- multiple defects causing deoxygenated blood to be carried throughout the body …

nephrosis, hypertension, atherosclerosis, anemia, transplanted kidney, aging, female gender, exogenous: nephrotoxic drugs, endogenous: heme pigments, systemic inflammation, extrinsic predisposing factors, large contrast medium volume, and primary coronary intervention as an emergency procedure” (2). While all of these are important while looking at the patient population that is faced with renal issues post intervention, it has been noted that high-osmolarity contrast media, compared to…

that is caused by your heart. This could be a warning that you are getting a heart attack, or you could have a heart disease. 2) Atherosclerosis is a disease that starts in your arteries, your arteries are lined with a thin layer of cells called endothelium (keeps arteries smooth to keep the blood flowing with no problems). Atherosclerosis starts to damage the endothelium in the arteries. This is caused by smoking, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. This damage of the endothelium…

Cardiac Arrest Heart failure is the sudden loss of heart capacity in a man who could conceivably have analyzed coronary illness. The time and method of death are surprising. It happens in a split second or not long after indications show up. Every year, more than 420,000 crisis restorative administrations surveyed out of the healing facility heart failures happen in the United States. The expression "heart attack" is regularly mistaken used to depict cardiovascular arrest.While a heart attack…

Cardiac remodeling or Ventricular remodeling surgery- Human heart is known to be the most important and continuously working organ in the human body which is constantly pumping purified blood in the different parts of the body through some specified patterns and along with that impure blood is being collected from the various parts and is sent to the heart for purification. Once after the purification the purified blood is sent to the lungs for oxygenation i.e. for mixing the blood with oxygen…

Oxygen-rich blood enters the spinal cord through the arteries which branch on to the small blood vessels. The spinal cord uses oxygen from the blood in the capillaries. The oxygen depleted blood and then passes into the veins that drain blood from the spinal cord to the heart and lungs. In the spine the blood passes directly from your arteries to the veins. The disruption in the blood flow causes cells in the spinal tissues to die. The arteries and veins in the spinal can rupture, which also…

The first time I saw CPR being performed was about a year ago. My family and I were having an early dinner at the Spaghetti Factory in Concord, when we heard a commotion on the other side of the restaurant. My mom got up to look, but never came back. After awhile, I got up to look for her, and what I saw amazed me. My mom was on top of a man’s chest doing what I now know as chest compressions. We never found out what happened to the man, but what I know is that I want to learn CPR.…

CORONARY STENTS Before stents were used, balloon angioplasty was used to treat narrowed coronary arteries. This involved inserting a very thin, long, balloon-tipped tube into an artery where there was a blockage. The balloon at the tip of the catheter was inflated to compress the blockage and restore blood flow. It was then deflated to remove the catheter and balloon but because no support was left at the site of the blockage, in some cases, the artery collapsed. This is why small stents were…
