conditions. There are several hypermobility or ligamentous laxity individuals who undergo chondromalacia patellae, varicose veins and uterine prolapse, excessive anterior mandibular movement, osteoarthritis disorders from nerve compression, and mitral valve…

has keen interest in minimal cardiac surgery programme like Minimal access valve replacement and Coronary artery bypass. He can be consulted from MON-SAT. One can easily book an…

things to happen. This remodeling result in, “a decreased ability of the myocytes to actively pump calcium from the cytosol, resulting in impaired relaxation” (McCance 1194). There can also be issues involving the effectiveness of the aortic or mitral valves. Inflammation from disease can cause them to become rigid or ineffective at closing so that blood cannot flow freely into the ventricles during diastole. Much of how the heart works is determined by how much blood is able to flow into the…

They account for most of the cardiac diseases shown in women of childbearing age. There are also non-congenital heart diseases such as, mitral stenosis, aortic valve insufficiency, which are acquired conditions. However, the understanding is that most cardiac valvular diseases manifest during pregnancy are usually due to rheumatic fever. How to predict the maternal and fetal outcome? The average success…

5. What are the potential contraindications that can prevent someone from having a cardiac catheterization? What is the contraindication that must be considered in Robert Wilson’s case? Why is this of concern? There are potential contraindications to getting a cardiac catheterization, though the only contraindication is the inability to provide an informed consent. There have been unstable patients how have tolerated this procedure but with high risk patients, the nurse has be cautious of…

is pulmonary edema. Pulmonary edema is caused by leakage of fluid from pulmonary capillaries out into the interstitial space and alveoli. The most common cause of pulmonary edema is either a cardiac or vascular problem. Cardiac problems include mitral valve stenosis or left sided heart failure, both of which increase the pulmonary venous pressure and consequently pulmonary capillary pressure. Vascular problem could arise from an insult to the blood capillary membranes or lung parenchyma caused…

(lub) that occur when the atrioventricular valve closes. It is longer than the S2 sound and has less intensity than the S2 sound in the aortic and pulmonic. However, it is louder than or equal to the S2 sound in the tricuspid and mitral. The S2 (dub) sound occurs as the semilunar valves close and has a higher pitch than the S1 sound, this sound is louder in the aortic and pulmonic, but has less intensity or is equal to the S1 sound in the tricuspid and mitral. The S3 sound (lub-dub-ee) occurs…

times. But in imaging, echocardiography has tremendous attributes and often is the only diagnostic modality utilized before surgical repair. Color flow Doppler can detect ventricular septal defects or any other septal defects, and any defects with valves can also be evaluated. Despite all the advancements there are some limitations in complex cases of Tetralogy of Fallot. The main concern is sudden cardiac death after surgical repair. There has been various studies and research regarding…

What is Polycystic Kidney Disease and how does it affect our lives ? Polycystic Kidney Disease also known as (PKD) which is an inherited disorder in which clusters of cysts develop in the kidneys (mayoclinic.org). PKD was discovered in the early 1800’s.Some symptoms of this disorder is headaches, side or back pain, blood in the urine , bladder infections, high blood pressure, kidney failure, and many more. Theses symptoms may be treatable by stop smoking , eat a better diet such as low sodium…
