Human heart

integral part of the emergency response routine. In fact, the American Heart Association considers defibrillation a basic life support skill for paramedics and rescue workers.” (DIRECT QUOTE) The human heart is arguably the most vital organ of the human body, as its coordinated and controlled two-part pumping is necessary to supply blood to the entire body. This supply rate is regulated by the pacemaker region of the heart, in the right atrium (chamber), by detecting a diffusion of ions,…

Ghost Hearts Doris A. Taylor, inventor/creator of the ghost hearts constantly harvest organs from the newly dead by re-engineering them. Doris is the director of the regenerative Medicine Research for the center of Cell and Organ Biotechnology at the Texas Heart Institute. Dr. Taylor worked on methods of decellularization and in 2008 she perfected the method. Decellularization is taking all the cells out of the organ leaving it with the lipids, sugar, and proteins. Ghost heart or a ghost-like…

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…

Americans die due to cardiovascular related problems, which is about 42% of total death per year. Cardiovascular disease is the disease of heart and vascular system of the human body that includes narrowing down or blocking of blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries) that can lead to range of diseases such as coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, congenital heart defects, angina (chest pain) and stroke. Even though cardiovascular disease is common only in adult population, it is very…

very captivating to me. As many of you may know, heart attacks are fatal occurrences that typically result in the death of part of a heart muscle. Recent studies at John Hopkins Medical Hospital have shown that a special sticky protein, gel that they created can help stem cells stay in or on rat hearts and restore their metabolism after transplantation. This discovery has given a new way and hope for researchers to heal the human hearts after heart attacks. This research started with the problem…

heart is the most important organ in the human body. Without the heart life would not be possible, it is responsible for getting neturients and oxygen throught the body by way of the circulatory system. Modern medicine has advanced greatly within the last 30 years and almost all heart diseases can be treated successfully if detected in time. Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a malformation of the large blood vessel near the heart. Congenital heart disease is one of the most common forms of…

is to review the concepts of epidemiology in disease control and prevention of cardiovascular disease, by applying the ecosocial epidemiology pattern. Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) encompasses many facets of understand the cause and effect on the human body, which can lead one down many rabbit holes. CVD is a leading cause of death in the United States, affecting millions of people (Lauer, 2011). In gaining a better understanding of variables that contribute to CVD, interventions to prevent…

project is the disease heart attack, also called myocardial infection. A heart attack is when the heart cannot receive oxygen and the muscle begins to die. In scientific ways, a heart attack is when a “heart attack occurs and when the flow of blood to the heart is blocked, most often by a build-up of fat, cholesterol and other substances, which form a plaque in the arteries that feed the heart (coronary arteries). The interrupted blood flow can damage or destroy part of the heart muscle.” (Cliff…

The Beverage Effect On The Heart Rate. Introduction This experiment is held by the GCU Nursing and Health department to see factors which influence the heart rate either by rising or reducing the heart rate from the normal pace. In order to conduct this experiment all to participants have to measure their heart beat before, during and after the activities. The activity includes, eating, drinking beverages such as, coffee, water, energy drinks, and soda, driving in the traffic, running, taking a…

Cardiac remodeling or Ventricular remodeling surgery- Human heart is known to be the most important and continuously working organ in the human body which is constantly pumping purified blood in the different parts of the body through some specified patterns and along with that impure blood is being collected from the various parts and is sent to the heart for purification. Once after the purification the purified blood is sent to the lungs for oxygenation i.e. for mixing the blood with oxygen…
