Hypertension

MITRAL STENOSIS Mitral stenosis is the narrowing of inlet valve into the left ventricle leading to an obstruction of inflow of blood from left atrium to the left ventricle during diastole. HEMODYNAMICS: Fibrosis of mitral ring, commissural adhesions and contracture of valve leaflets result in mitral stenosis. Due to the obstruction caused by the mitral stenosis left atrial pressure increases, which results in hypertrophy of left atrium. Increased left atrial pressurein turn increases pulmonary…

A review of her medical records indicates that she was recently evaluated by hospice, but was found to have a prognosis of 6 months or greater. She suffers from co-morbidities of NIDDM- stable, hyperlipidemia-stable, hypothyroidism-stable and HTN-stable. At today’s visit she is accompanied by her sister. She is awake, alert but disoriented. She is a poor historian due to her dementia. Her sister reports that she was decently evaluate by hospice but was “too healthy”, therefore not admitted. She…

method applied for diagnosis [46, 48]. However, some studies also analyzed clinical, serological, and immunological data [46] or employed genotyping [47]. Risk factors for LN development or progression of diagnosed instabilities identified were: hypertension, higher creatinine, proliferative nephritis, and decreased GFR [46, 48], as well as genetic, environmental, and socioeconomic…

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…

this disease usually have to get new kidneys from a donor or go to dialysis to be able to function. Many factors can cause the kidneys to shut down. Diabetes mellitus is considered one of the leading causes of renal failure. Other problems like hypertension, chronic obstruction of the kidney, frequent infections and autoimmune problems can lead to renal failure (Silvester, 2011). NANDA Nursing Diagnosis Additional nursing diagnoses, in this case, would be: Activity intolerance related to fluid…

What is Heart Failure? According to MayoClinic.Org,” Heart failure, sometimes referred to as congestive heart failure, occurs when your heart muscle doesn't pump blood as well as it should. Certain conditions, such as narrowed arteries in your heart (coronary artery disease) or high blood pressure, gradually leave your heart too weak or stiff to fill and pump efficiently.” Web. . January 12, 2016 There are contributing factors that can lead to heart failure such as coronary artery disease,…

potentially life-threatening complication that occurs when blood clots collect in the small blood vessels that supply the lungs. Symptoms include fever, chest pain, dyspnea, chills, and hemoptysis. Pulmonary infiltrates are common as well as pulmonary hypertension, and the majority of patients are hypoxemic (Paul, Castro, Aggarwal, & Oneal, 2011). Splenic sequestration is another common complication; rising when the sickle cells become clogged and are trapped in the spleen causing rapid…

the sufficient amount of blood that is needed (Hawkley et al., 2003). In addition, lonely individuals predicted a higher total peripheral resistance within their blood vessels. Overtime, elevated total peripheral resistance creates the onset of hypertension, which will increase the risk of the various cardiovascular issues. In addition, lonely individuals appraise everyday events as a greater demand on themselves, with them believing they cannot accomplish these demands. Due to these stressors,…

Emily Howard (Laboratory Section 4019) Jennifer Dierkes (Laboratory Section 4019) Nicole Danh (Laboratory Section 4020) Wesley Ng (Laboratory Section 4020) Kayoti Farinholt (Laboratory Section 4020) Cardiovascular Assignment Work in groups (3-5) on this assignment and hand in one page of answers. I prefer you turn it in using the Canvas groups you have established and using the TurnItIn feature on Canvas. According to the ‘Frank – Starling Law” increasing preload will do what to stroke volume?…

form of cardiovascular disease (CVD) (1). Aetiology of this is linked to both genetic and lifestyle influences, however SMI patients are also five times more likely than the general public to develop risk factors of CVD; such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidaemia and smoking (2). This may be because antipsychotic medication, for example, can cause weight gain and increase the risk of CHD (2). Despite this, many SMI patients have limited opportunities to screen for such risks (2).…
