Coronary artery disease

Introduction Mitral valve regurgitation, also called mitral regurgitation, is a condition in which blood leaks from the mitral valve in the heart. The mitral valve is located between the upper left chamber of the heart (left atrium) and the lower left chamber of the heart (left ventricle). Normally, this valve opens when the atrium pumps blood into the ventricle, and it closes when the ventricle pumps blood out to the body. Mitral valve regurgitation happens when the mitral valve does not close…

Public Health Problem Cardiovascular disease, more commonly known as heart disease, is a noninfectious, chronic, degenerative disease that has extensive historical documentation from over the ages but has become progressively prevalent with the rise of modern society. Cardiovascular disease currently stands as the leading cause of death in the United States, affecting both genders indiscriminately and is responsible for almost fifty percent of deaths that occur. It has recently become an area…

force in the arteries when blood pumped by the heart hits the walls of arteries is known as blood pressure . When the heart contracts,the highest pressure in the arteries is known as the systolic pressure . Whereas , the lowest pressure in the arteries in between two heart beats is referred to as diastolic pressure . A normal individual would have a blood pressure of below 120/80 mmHg. High blood pressure or otherwise known as hypertension is a condition when the force in the arteries are…

4. Notice how it feels to fully focus on your inhale. As you inhale, notice any particular feelings of tension or strain, and notice the sensation of your lungs and abdomen filling up as you inhale. 5. Now gently shift your awareness to focus more on your exhale. With each exhale, notice what it’s like to feel your breath passing out through your nostrils. And observe, without judgment, anything that you feel in your body. 6. For the next few minutes, continue to breathe gently and evenly.…

Arterial system of frog Blood vessels, which carry oxygenated blood away from heart to different part of the body, are called arteries. They constitute a system called arterial system. Truncus arterious gives two branches right aortic trunk and left aortic trunk. Each aortic trunk again divides into three branches- a) Carotid arch: it divides into – Lingual artery – it supplies blood to tongue and hyoid. Common carotid – it supplies blood to buccal cavity and brain. it consists swelling at the…

Mouth-to-mouth is the quickest way to spread diseases (“Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation”). This can be a downside for the victim or the rescuer. Another downside of CPR, is the effect of the amount of force used in chest compressions. The force of compressions to reach 4-6 cm deep in the chest, which…

organs; maintaining homeostasis; and transport gases, waste, and hormones. The different types of blood vessels are: arteries, capillaries, and veins. The vessels that carry blood towards the heart are veins and the vessels that carry blood away from the heart are arteries. Gas exchange occurs in the capillaries. 2. Describe the layers of blood vessels. Describe the differences between arteries and veins. The layers of blood vessels are: a hollow interior (lumen), contains an outer…

The second device is the implantable cardioverter defibrillator(ICD), which works by noticing when the heart is converting into an unwanted rhythm and shocking the heart until it returns to its normal rhythm. Although an ICD has some similarities to the pacemaker it also has some big differences. The pacemaker and ICD are both implanted the same way, just under the skin of the chest or in the abdomen. Implanting the device is a minor procedure today and is common. Most people only need to stay…

proactive in their approach to eliminating heartburn. They work similarly to the H2 blockers in that they prevent the production of stomach acid; however, they are more effective than H2 blockers for severe and complex cases of gastro-esophageal reflux disease. They are often preferred by health care providers, and recommended to patients even above antacids. In this experiment, alkaline water is compared against antacids, rather than the other medications, because antacids work most similarly…
