congenital heart defect. In transposition of the great arteries, the two main arteries, the aorta and the pulmonary artery, are reversed. These arteries are responsible for carrying blood away from the heart through the left or right ventricle depending on whether the blood has been oxygenized or not. In a normal heart, there is a constant blood flow pattern in which blood is cycled from the body to the heart, the heart to the lungs, where it is oxygenated, then, from the lungs, back to the…
VO2max can be defined as a measure of the maximum volume of oxygen that an individual can use in the whole body exercises. It measures the highest rate at which oxygen is being taken up and used by the body during these exercises which which is a monitor of how oxygen is being consumed. This measure can be a predictor of the ability of the heart in delivering the required oxygen to the working muscles. It also shows the ability of the muscles to extract the supplied oxygen from the blood in the…

What conditions contribute to turbulent blood flow or heart murmurs. Turbulent blood flow occurs as blood moves through narrowed or leaking valves producing a swooshing sound over the precordium and a high heart rate combine with narrowing, causing the heart to handle a larger amount of blood flow than normal; the basis is increased blood velocity, structural valve malfunction, or atypical chambers. Some pathological causes of heart murmurs are anemia, high blood pressure, overactive thyroid…
Upon admittance he was semicomatose and confused. He had suffered abrasions to his face, a laceration to his left thigh and bruising to both thighs. His extremities were cold and sweaty, his blood pressure was 90/60mmHg and his pulse rate was 130beats/min. The paramedics had also reported a litre of blood had been lost at the scene. In order to rectify this, 3L of saline was administered. The patient was then catheterized as he was unable to pass urine. 36 hours later his blood pressure…
on blood flow and the sites of myocardial disarray is the source of mortality in HCM (17). The asymmetrical addition of sarcomeres to either the ventricles, the septum or the atria can cause atrial or ventricular fibrillations, arrhythmias in the heart that can be detrimental to one’s health and…
The heart is the strongest and the most imperative organ in the human body. This remarkable machine keeps us alive from day to day. It is vital that we take care of our bodies so we can live a long healthy life. Even if we take care of ourselves through proper nutrition and daily exercise problems can occur which we are not at fault. Mitral valve prolapse is a condition that the cause is still unknown. Scientists believe it may be hereditary and people can be born with it, but never experience…
relieving the symptoms and decrease the risks associated with HCM. Treatment depends upon the individual’s situation but may focus on reducing the symptoms of heart failure and chest pain, removing excess muscle from the intraventricular septum in order to improve blood flow and lower the pressures in the heart, and treat abnormal heart rhythms and/or reduce the risk of sudden death. Possible medication…
The circulatory system works together with the pulmonary system by pumping deoxygenated blood into the lungs to be oxygenated in the alveoli and then returned to the heart to pump oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. The lungs oxygenated the blood because oxygen is a vital element for survival and all organs rely on it in order to function properly. If the lungs did not oxygenate the blood, anaerobic respiration…
