damage the supporting vessels of the heart and eventually progress to cardiac complications such as angina pectoris, MI, heart failure, and extracardiac complications.…

neonatal jaundice along with a paucity of intrahepatic bile ducts on liver histology. It is also known as Alagille-Watson syndrome or arterio-hepatic dysplasia, and is caused by defects in the Notch signaling pathway. The disease affects the liver, heart, skeleton, eyes, kidneys, central nervous system, and is associated with characteristic facial features. (1, 2) The syndrome was first described by MacMahon and Thannhauser in 1949, who also characterized the histological changes observed in…

people need to take good care of their hearts in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The purpose of this investigation is to determine whether teenagers can improve their health, specifically cardio health by means of exercising. Hypothesis: Exercises improve cardiovascular health in teenagers. Active teenagers have a lower heart rate and blood pressure than those of inactive teenagers Prediction: Dependent variables:…

Valvular Heart Disease Luke White – C14367136 Introduction In this report I will discuss valvular heart disease. Firstly I will discuss the disease itself, what it is, what its symptoms are and what effect it can have on a person if it is left untreated. Then I will examine the role of the Clinical Measurement Scientist in the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of this disease. I will then go on to write about the importance of professionalism as a clinical measurement scientist. This will…

Cardiovascular Disorders Hunter Boumans Central Louisiana Technical Community College CARDIOVASCULAR DISORDERS 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…

performing exercise with a heart rate monitor and a sphygmomanometer. She completed this experiment during a spin class within a controlled environment and on a fixed spin bike. Findings: BPM Before exercise 96 Average heart rate during exercise 142 Maximum heart rate during exercise 174 1 minute after exercise 98 Blood Pressure Before exercise 119/78 1 minute after exercise 126/76 Evaluation: Before exercise, Andrea’s heart rate was at the high end of a normal heart rate for a healthy…

Physiological Effects of Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a disease of the heart, in which the heart’s normal rhythmic contraction is altered, changing the heart function (Ideker &Walcott, 1993). It is characterized by having a heartbeat that is too fast, although the disease itself is far more complex (Ideker & Walcott, 1993). Ventricular tachycardia often leads to ventricular fibrillation (VF), and together, they are among the most life threatening cardiac…

Cardiomyopathy is a type of cardiovascular disease that is usually asymptomatic. It is a general term used to describe a diverse group of diseases that affects the heart muscles. For most people with cardiomyopathy, their hearts don't function normally because their heart muscles have become either enlarged, abnormally thick, abnormally rigid, or unable to transmit electrical impulses in a normal fashion. Because cardiomyopathy is a general term, there are different types. Some of the major…

The Rapidly Changing Environment of Pediatric Echocardiography The first ultrasound images of the heart were described in 1954; however, it was not until the late 1970s that pediatric cardiologists used any form of ultrasound. At that time, M-mode began to be seen as a useful tool for pediatric cardiologists. Pediatric cardiologists were able to decipher how to follow the course of a patent ductus arteriosus closure, estimate cavity size, prove mitral valve obstruction, and estimate valve…

were temperature was 99.1, pulse was 69, respiratory rate was 28, and blood pressure was 118/74. The temperature was slightly elevated which is an indication of infection. The respiratory rate was abnormally high indication of not getting enough oxygenation, even though the oxygen saturation was 100 percent. Upon assessment the patient was alert and orientated. The patient’s lungs sounds were clear and diminished bilaterally. When assessing the heart the apical was 78 which was within normal…
