Deaths from myocardial infarction

increases as you aged and is prevalent cardiovascular disease to older people (Eliopoulos, c2014 p270). Hypertension is also known as high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries, which carry blood from your heart to other parts of your body (About High Blood Pressure 2011). If you have high blood pressure, the force exerted on your arteries is too high. It 's so high that it creates microscopic tears in the artery walls that then turn…

life-threatening, but heart failure refers to the incapability of the heart to circulate blood throughout the body to meet the body’s needs. Due to the inadequate blood circulation, it results the leaking of fluid from the capillaries and is where the “congestive” part of CHF comes from. While as cardiac arrest means the heart has suddenly stopped functioning. Congestive heart failure can affect both adults and children, but mainly impacts men and women at the age…

Life with obesity has changed dramatically over the decades. At one time is was considered taboo to be obese, and to a certain extent it still is today. Although, with the “Body Acceptance Movement” it has become more kosher; even acceptable for people to be proud of being obese or morbidly obese. However, I’m not saying that it is acceptable for people: to be made fun of, discriminated upon, or judged for being obese either. The health risk associated with obesity are increasingly alarming.…

the student is reduced and so is the their chance to actually be successful in learning anything from that course. The reduced work load is the only advantage I see in this theory of learning. The experimental theory of learning is the old tried and true learning theory based on the student learning through direct hands on application. This theory of learning allow the student to learn from successes and failures by actually doing assessment for example a auto mechanic student would…

One of the concepts that I was able to reflect on for the last clinical experience was adherence. The patient that I was able to spend time with had a long list of comorbidities, some of which include, type 2 diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and coronary artery disease. However, the patient had very poor adherence to the treatment recommendations for these diagnoses. Once diagnosed with heart issues, the patient did not attend any appointments at the hearts doctors…

information well visually. I retain best through auditory and semantic codes. I had to semantically create a new set of acronyms for elaborate rehearsal. Aberrant beats are when a person will have a random beat between two complexes that are caused from a premature atrial complex. I remember this as “aberrant, randomly present”. There are three hearts blocks that you must differentiate through their similarities. A first-degree heart block, has a p-wave that measure longer through each complex.…

that obesity does or doesn 't affect someone life span. His replay was. "Yeah I believe it does affect your life span. Like I said I weighed 375 pounds at one time and knew I was dying. I became diabetic, had trouble breathing, and ached afterwards from just do simple…

had the pleasure of caring for patients on the postoperative (PO) cardiac surgery unit at St. Mary’s Hospital. In this professional practice experience, I received the opportunity of caring for a female client who unfortunately suffered a myocardial infarction and subsequently received coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Whilst caring for my client, I observed her using her incentive spirometer (IS) which is a standard protocol for PO CABG patients on the unit. This event reminded me of…

cells. (Diabetes Association, 2010). Diabetes mellitus can leads to HTN, vision issues, cardiac problems, and neuropathy. Another risk factors of diabetes is kidney disease. Vitals function of the kidneys includes filtering waste and excess fluid from the blood. With kidney dysfunction the ability of the kidneys to perform such function is…

In an attempt to treat chronic myocardial ischemia, during angioplasty and stenting, Hedman et al [72] delivered vascular endothe¬lial growth factor encoding plasmid through liposomes, with the aim to prevent in-stent restenosis and postangioplasty but the treatment doomed to change the…
