Ischaemic heart disease

Some of the deadly consequences of malnutrition are electrolyte imbalance, muscle loss, immunity and blood flow issues, and heart problems. Once the body reaches the point of malnutrition it goes into what is known as starvation mode. When a body lacks the nutrients it needs it will take from itself. When the human body has an electrolyte imbalance caused by starvation there…

Heart Murmurs and its Effect on the Body System Unusual or abnormal sounds that are heard during a heartbeat are referred to as heart murmurs. Murmurs can range from very faint to very loud and sometimes sound like a whooshing or a swishing noise. Although heart murmurs can be present at time of birth they can also be developed later in life as well. Heart murmurs are not diseases but can indicate an underlying heart problem. Normal heart beats usually make a “lub-dub” type of sound which…

For over 55 years, humans have been flying in space. With an understanding of evolution, it has always been assumed that human bodies have adapted to the gravitational force found here on Earth. The space station and the shuttle that most NASA astronauts will stay in orbits 350 km above Earth, with a gravitational pull 90% stronger than it is on the ground (NASA Space Bones). Giancoli describes objects orbiting the Earth as feeling weightless because they are, in essence, free falling towards…

Heart disease is a broad term used to describe any cardiovascular disease or condition that affects the cardiovascular system. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 47% of all Americans have at least one of the risk factors for heart disease and many don 't know it. Understanding heart disease is crucial to its prevention, however, so it 's important for you to know the causes and symptoms of heart disease. You should strive to prevent heart disease if you can and…

Introduction According to the American Heart Association, heart disease accounts for more than 17.3 million deaths a year and this number is expected to grow to more than 23.6 million in 2030. There are several types of heart disease, one of them being acute myocardial infarction also known as heart attack. Myocardial infarction is the damaging or death of an area of the heart muscle caused by blockage in the blood supply of that area. Myocardial infarction happens when the arteries become…

For example the bones in the skull protect the brain from damage and the rib cage protects the lungs and the heart. This is due to the thickness and strength of the bones muscle and tissue that surround the organs. Without this protection the body would be at risk of serious injury to its major…

from the pulmonary artery to the aorta. Instead, it moves into a normal circulatory pattern. Normal circulation occurs when deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium and moves on through the right side of the heart to the pulmonary system where it is oxygenated and then moves back to the heart and out of the left ventricle to supply oxygen and nutrients throughout the body (Kim, 2016). A PDA occurs when the DA fails to close completely after delivery. When the DA vessel does not constrict and…

one started at the skeletal system. The skeletal system showed the skeletal, the whole body bone include the ribs, large bone call femur and small bone call fibula, adult skull and infant skull. They also showed the prone bone that showed the bone disease as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Second system I learn is muscular system, the muscular system showed the muscular body that connect to the skeletal system. Muscles produce heat to help maintain body temperature when temperature begin to…

People who have Endocarditis will have inflammation of the inner walls of the heart mainly in the heart valves. This can also infect artificial heart valves, pacemakers, or implantable defibrillators. Endocarditis infection is most commonly found in people with preexisting heart diseases. To get this infection the bacteria will enter the bloodstream and attach to damaged places of the inner parts of the heart, but not all the bacteria entering the bloodstream will cause this infection. If this…

This will promote chest expansion and reduced the workload of the heart. Early detection of respiratory distress will assist in emergency interventions and reduce the risk of complications (Jaffe & Cabrera, 2016). This is considered a high…
