It pumps and collects blood to and from the various parts of our body. Blood vessels – Blood vessels are path through which transport medium circulates in our body. 2. The functions of cardiovascular system are as follows- Transportation- It transports blood to all the parts of body. The blood delivers oxygen and nutrients…

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common form of feline cardiomyopathies. This disease affects the cardiovascular system. The heart has many important anatomical features. One of these being the ventricle of the heart. The ventricle of the heart is the main heart muscle that pumps blood. When HCM occurs the left ventricle within the heart thickens. When the thickening of the ventricle occurs there will be a decreased ventricular chamber volume, and abnormal ventricular relaxation.…

Bone mass: slows down bone loss process. • Type 2 diabetes: enhances glucose uptake and utilization into the cells. • Brain function: protects the brain from age and stress related brain damage which helps it to function longer and better. • Hyperthyroidism: improves symptoms as irregular heartbeats, nervousness and weakness. • Fatigue: it increases oxygen supply to the muscles, reduces muscle soreness after exercise and increase the production of red blood cells which transport oxygen…

radioisotope used in the medical industry and also is a product of nuclear fallout. In 1938 at the University of California, research scientists Glenn T. Seaborg and John Livingood discovered a life changing radioisotope which saves the lives of many hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer patients. After discovering and researching Iodine-131, Seaborg tested the radioisotope on his ill mother who had a thyroid condition. When seeing that the treatment had fixed his mother’s thyroid condition, more…

Primary osteoporosis and menopause are not the only conditions responsible for the reduction of bone tissue. The loss of bone mass, which leads to increased risk of fractures of this kind, is also determined by underlying conditions, such as hyperthyroidism, benign and malignant tumors, including chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Even particular pharmacological treatments, such as the prolonged use of corticosteroids, may contribute to the reduction of bone mass and thus to an increase in…

Hello, Khalia. It sounds to me like the food poisoning caused severe and rapid fluid loss from vomiting and/or diarrhea, which led to the "neurocardiogenic syncope." The feelings you describe--rapid heartbeat, worse with walking (or other exertion); lightheadedness; hot flashes--are typical of what people experience just prior to passing out. These are also called "pre-syncopal" symptoms. You mention the Holter Monitor had showed a abnormally fast heart beat (tachycardia). How fast was it? Did…
