Ischaemic heart disease

and if they're heart quits beating. CPR means Cardiopulmonary Recitation. The word cardio means heart, pulmonary means lung, and recitate means bring back to life. People usually stop breathing if they are drowning, suffocating, choking, electrocuted, or if they have a heart attack. CPR helps maintain blood flow to the brain and heart, and it opens up air ways. People don’t realize the importance of CPR, until they’re in a situation where someone stops breathing or if their heart stops beating.…

“One third of patients who experience heart attack die within 24 hours of the onset of ischemia, and many of the survivors experience significant morbidity(3)”. Early diagnosis of heart attack reduce the risk of death, especially in those who older the 50 years(1,2). Also, the men between 55-74 years are the most of having diagnosed heart attack or fatal coronary heart disease (CHD)(1). The appearance of cardiac markers in the circulation generally shows myocardial necrosis and is a helpful aide…

any type of Cardiovascular disease, certain steps need to be followed. First, a medical profession, such as your doctor, may ask the patient if have any previous medical conditions, as well as questions about your family’s medical history. After some information is gather the next step is testing whether it may be a single test or multiple to make a correct diagnosis. They’re a number of different test that can be done depending on the doctor’s prognosis of your disease. Excluding blood test and…

The world around him was spinning. He felt tired, without any energy and his little hazel eyes became heavier and heavier with every breathe he took. He suddenly fell into a deep slumber. Minutes or even hours passed as he opened his eyes again. He didn't know where he was. It was dark. ‘Hello? Is there anyone? Where am I?’ yelled the little boy out loud. He tried to move but his feet and hands were tied together. Tears were running down his rosy cheeks. He cried incessantly. Soon he heard…

risk of pulmonary embolism, increased risk of heart disease in older women, increased risk of breast cancer. ( which is a risk that send panic through many), increased risk of dementia in women over 65, many increase breast tenderness. So with all that being said, how do you decide if HRT is safe enough of not? In 2002 the Women's Health Initiative announced results of the first long term study of HRT, which indicated increased risk of breast cancer, heart…

Arrhythmia: occurs when the heart no longer beats in a pattern considered regular or normal. Cardiac arrest: the sudden loss of heart function, breathing and consciousness caused by abnormal or irregular heart rhythms (ex: ventricular fibrillation) Cardiomyopathy: a disease of the heart muscle (myocardium), may be acquired or hereditary Defibrillation: administration of a controlled electric shock to stop an extremely rapid, irregular heart beat (fibrillation) and restore heart rate to a normal…

This paper explains how to asses a new patient coming in for chest pain and how an Electrocardiogram (EKG) and other tests would be performed to diagnose the patient’s condition. Using two scholarly resources the paper will further explain the information that will be needed to know before performing the EKG on this new patient. A physician can request an EKG for different reasons in this scenario the patient has had a history with Myocardial Infarctions (MI’s) and when he comes in to the ER…

extreme cases can affect respiratory function. What will be discussed is what scoliosis is and what it does to the body, who and how many people are affected by it as well as who is most likely to develop this condition, the signs and symptoms of the disease, how to identify scoliosis and prognosis of this degenerative condition. There will be treatment options discussed and what interventions are best for these patients. Scoliosis is a degenerative condition of the spine, it is easily seen…

muscular stem cells are in close relations with your standard cells, it is important to examine what their jobs are and how they go about repairing muscle tissue. Some notable matters that should be recognized when studying stem cells are the possible diseases and disorders that may come from them being dysfunctional, as well as how scientists use them in medicine. Unlike a normal cell, stem cells have several possible, special tasks assigned to them at their time of creation, making them…

specific metabolites like AMP, H+, and K+. Consequently, an increase in blood flow accords with a higher cardiac output that is determined by heart rate and stroke volume. At high work rate, cardiac output (amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute) composed by the product of stroke volume (amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle per beat) and heart rate can reach up to 90% of theoretical maximum value as well as having moderate to high increases in blood pressure. (Burton et al.,…
