Embase, Psychinfo, Cochrane Library, AMED, and CINAHL. The average salt intake recommendation is around 5-6 grams, but most Americans exceed 6 grams of salt on a daily basis. This has resulted in a correlation between high salt intake and high blood pressure, leading to cardiovascular diseases. Suggestions have been made about…

Introduction Heart failure (HF) is a growing epidemic today as people are living longer with the diagnosis. In 2013, it was estimated that over 550,000 new cases of HF arise annually in the United States.1 Globally, the prevalence of HF is over 23 million.1 The American Heart Association defines heart failure as a syndrome resulting from “any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to fill or eject blood.” 1 In essence, the heart fails to meet the…

Introduction / 5p- 1200w The most frequent cause of sudden cardiac death is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), mainly in young people. It is characterized by thickening in the left ventricle (LV) wall not related to load condition such as aortic stenosis or systemic hypertension (Bing, Knott et al. 2000). It is estimated that approximately one in 500-1000 population. HCM is a complex genetic inherited cardiovascular disease caused by dominate mutation in coding of cardiac sarcomere proteins gene…

Thank you for responding on my post. I agreed your statement that heart failure is complex diagnosis also pharmacological treatments depends on the condition type, severity, etiology. Heart failure is one of the most frequent cardiac diagnosis for hospitalization to patient, the undesirable effect of long term coronary artery disease also increase prevalence of heart failure (Ciccone,2016). Congestive heart failure (CHF) or heart failure most commonly refer as decompensation and cardiac…

During one year, the heart initiates approximately 32 million heartbeats to pump blood around the body, beating a total of 60-80 times per minute at a normal pace. It is a highly efficient organ and constantly works to keep our blood circulation going and ourselves alive. The high efficiency of the heart pumping system originates in a conductive system, which is linked to the Sinoatrial (S-A) and Atrioventricular (A-V) node. The Sinoatrial node, also known as the natural cardiac pacemaker, is…

will make a definitive diagnosis of high blood pressure after taking several measurements. Health care experts will work with you to create a management plan built on whether you were detected with primary or secondary high blood pressure and if there is a supposed or recognized reason. Treatment procedures might go forward up until blood pressure management is accomplished. If your health care provider detects you with secondary high blood pressure, he or she will work to treat the other…

26, 2016 Hypertension and Social Ecology Hypertension is a chronic medical condition in which an individual’s blood pressure is too high. This means that the blood is exerting more pressure on the arterial walls than normal as it moves throughout the body. I chose to write about this disease because numerous members of my family suffer from hypertension, or high blood pressure, and it is especially interesting to me because of the fact that hypertension itself does not display symptoms,…

Pulmonary Stress Test Pulmonary stress tests are done while you are exercising to see how well your lungs are working. Spirometry readings are first done while you are resting. Readings are then taken again following exercise. Spirometry measures how well you can move air in and out of your lungs. It can be done at your health care provider's office or at home with a small handheld spirometer. The spirometer is used to measure: FEV1 or Forced Expiratory Volume1 (the amount of air you…

glottis was obtained, additional 3ml of lidocaine 2% was administered under direct vision, by MADgic® atomizer (Wolfe Tory Medical, Salt Lake City, UT, USA). A maximum dose of lidocaine 5 mg/kg was permitted to avoid toxicity. The patient was placed in the sniffing position, head elevated by a ramp under shoulders, and O2 was given by a nasal catheter at 4 l/min. Remifentanil administered by target-controlled infusions (TCI) (OrchestraⓇ Base Primea, Fresenius Kabi, Brezins, France) with the…

consists of distensible arteries that end with resistance vessels, whose distributed elastic properties allow the generation of a pressure wave that travels along the artery1. The propagation of a pressure wave is inversely related to the distensibility of the artery1. In younger subjects, peripheral arteries are stiffer than central arteries1,2. In stiffer vessels, pressure waves are reflected, creating retrograde waves1. Retrograde waves are also generated at the peripheral…
