Heart rate monitor

to spot him but then when i turn around I hear a gunshot…” “Standing there holding his stomach was Sam, and just like me, we were looking for each other but the difference is, he got shot for it. After hearing that gunshot and seeing who it was my heart stopped, time froze and then rewinded. Everything started flashing back to when we first met, we were 5 and we were at the park playing like no other kid would be when they are 5 but me and him were different. We fought over one swing when 10…

Purpose: Our previous computer models suggested that intraluminal thrombus (ILT) within an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) attenuates oxygen diffusion to the AAA wall, possibly causing localized hypoxia and contributing to wall weakening. The purpose of this work was to investigate this possibility. Methods: In one arm of this study, patients with AAA were placed in one of two groups: (1) those with an ILT of 4- mm or greater thickness on the anterior surface or (2) those with little (< 4 mm)…

Cardiovascular health refers to the health of the heart and the blood vessels. It is important to have proper blood supply to various organs in the body to support good health. The heart is a muscle that actually pumps blood throughout the body. Other organs in the body definitely become affected if there is something wrong with the heart (“Cardiovascular disease,” 2012). Obviously, if the heart muscle fails to function completely, then you die. This is because there will be no more blood flow…

Venous return is the flow of blood back to the heart. This process is achieved by five mechanisms. The Pressure Gradient, now this mechanisms work via the heart generating pressure even though the pressure is weaker in the veins than in the arteries it is still the most important force in the venous flow. Gravity, but only when you are sitting or standing anywhere above the heart simple gravity is at work in returning blood back to the heart, not to say that very thing isn’t still working…

Heart Failure: Who are the Heart Doctors? Princess Igwe, Mercer University College of Pharmacy/ InpharmDTM According to the American Heart Association, heart failure is a chronic, complex condition resulting from weakened heart muscle that is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs.1 Because of this complexity, it is recommended that patients work in conjunction with their doctor(s) to manage this condition. But who are the heart doctors? Heart failure patients may have to work…

Daphnia’s Heart Rate. Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to compare the resting heart rate of a Daphnia, to its heart rate after 5 different substances were tested on it: Aspirin, Nasal Spray, Alka Seltzer, Coffee and Tea. Daphnia’s are often used as an experimental animal in lab settings because they are small, have a short life span and are easily maintained, only needing water to survive. For this specific lab, it was important that we have a test subject whose…

In the United States about 610,000 people die of heart disease each year (Heart Disease Facts, 2015). Heart disease is caused by plaque build up in the arteries causing circulation of blood to slow or come to a complete stop (Heart Disease Facts, 2015). There are many factors that can put a person at risk of developing heart disease, the three most common factors being high blood pressure, high cholesterol and smoking. The Heart Disease Facts (2015) offered by the Center of Disease Control…

According to United Network for Organ Sharing (2015) organ donations and transplantation are the removal of organs and tissues from one person and placed into another person’s body. There are currently 123,254 people in the United States awaiting an organ transplant. Every ten minutes someone is added to the national transplant waiting list. One organ donor can save 8 lives. Although there is an average of 6 transplants daily, 21 people die daily awaiting an organ donor. 90% of Americans say…

endurance because I am going to join Track again this year and my goal for the pacer would help me become better at Track because I want to be in 1st-3rd place in the 100-meter dash. My long-term effect is I will reduce the risk of heart disease because endurance will make my heart healthier. I believe the cardiovascular strength that is tested in the pacer test would be useful in my everyday life and I will get stronger. My long-term effect is there will be a lower risk for me to get diseases…

The University of Mary Master of Science in Nursing – Nursing Leadership and Management Program along with the Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Program of The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota collaborated to improve upon the ECMO simulation format currently used at the organization. ECMO is a medical treatment that serves as a form of life support to sustain life in those who are experiencing respiratory and/or cardiac failure. This modality of treatment is becoming more common…
