Heart rate monitor

College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA). These organizations set guidelines for exercise testing in 1997 but then revised these guidelines again in 2002. In 2002, they modified ten categories from the 1997 guidelines. These ten guidelines that were changed include: ST heart rate adjustment, unstable angina, older patients, acute coronary syndromes, chest pain centers, acute myocardial infarction, asymptomatic patients, valvular heart disease, rhythm disturbances and…

refers to a range of diseases that affect the heart and the blood vessels. Among the common ones are heart attacks – blockage of the blood flow to a part of the heart, and ischemic stroke –blockage of a blood vessel that feeds a part of the brain. Other types of cardiovascular disease include heart failure, arrhythmia and heart valves problems. This paper…

ambulances, hospitals, etc. This is to show how it was first made, and who created it, and first developed it. Along with how it has helped people today in modern times. Understanding how willem einthoven had a compelling achievement in understanding the heart rhythms and how to analyze them. In this essay I will help you understand what is essential to vital human life today, and how it came to be understanding the electrocardiogram. Willem Einthoven was born in 1860, on May 21st, born in…

genres have a different affect on people’s heart rate. After watching the sing-along movie, High School Musical 2, most of the people’s heart rate decreased. The movie caused 11 out of the 17 people tested to decrease. It had an average and mean of 70.4 bpm before and 67.6 bpm after. The sing-along movie had the smallest standard deviation. There was a standard deviation of 7.98 before and 9.44 after. Most of the people being tested had a heart rate similar to the mean and each other. After…

subject’s the height, weight, body composition and resting heart rate and blood pressure. Then place the HR Monitor on the subject. Explain to the subject the rest and explain the RPE chart and communication methods. Allow the subject to warm up on the treadmill at a low intensity and stretch if they need to. Next put the head device on the subject with T valve and also the nose clip. Then attach the hose to the metabolic cart, check that the HR monitor is working. When the test has begun record…

smoked one pack a day for 30 years, but quit last month. MK also has a past medical history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes type II, and coronary heart disease. Situation Initially, clients may accumulate…

changes in the geriatric cardiovascular system, such as: increased heart weight; decreased number of myocardial cells with enlargement of remaining cells; increased left ventricle wall thickness; increased arterial stiffness; increased elastin levels; increased collagen levels; increased left atrium size; decreased aortic dispensability; and decreased vascular tone. This causes decreased diastolic pressure (during initial filling of the heart); decreased diastolic filling; decreased reaction to…

the heart beats it emits electrical currents. An electrocardiogram (EKG) is a method in which electrodes are attached at various points on the body. These electrodes are attached to wires that are attached to the EKG machine. The electrodes send waves and impulses to the machine that amplifies the results on a monitor and prints them onto graph paper. Heart rates and palpitations are commonly diagnosed from the EKG results. Heart rhythm can help to detect medical problems. Arrhythmia, heart…

The incidence of atrial fibrillation increases with age which can causes serious problems in older people, leading to stroke and/or heart failure. Risk factors include hypertension, previous ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack or other thromboembolic event, coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, heart failure, and mitral valve disease (Holding et al., 2009). In addition to advanced age, patients that are obese, of the Caucasian race, or have a history of excessive alcohol use are at…

occurred on rest. On arrival, the patient was pale and clammy, demonstrated shortness of breath. his pulse rate was 120 beats per minute, blood pressure 150/70 and his oxygen saturation level was 96%. The patient presented with chest pain due to myocardial ischaemia. Myocardial ischaemia is a disease caused by a coronary artery obstruction which reduces or cuts off the blood supply to the heart muscle tissue or myocardium and causes tissue ischaemia. 1 When myocardial ischaemia is prolonged it…
