Myocardial infarction

Out of the many cardiovascular diseases that exist today, Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is the most common. CHF is the failure of the heart to distribute adequate blood supply back to the body through the heart. The heart muscle is weakened and is no longer able to pump blood back through the heart and often becomes enlarged due to the workload it must take on. When the heart begins to fail, the lungs also tend to suffer. The lungs can fill with blood; which is known as pulmonary congestion.…

true for Europe, each year the disease causes over 4 million deaths in Europe and over 1.9 million deaths in the European Union. This makes it the major cause of death for both men and women in most countries of Europe (13). Heart failure and myocardial infarction result in cardiomyocyte death by apoptosis and/or necrosis. The cardiomyocytes’ limited capability to divide leads to the replacement of dead cells by proliferating fibroblast that migrate into the damaged area to form scar tissue…

The patient (pt) in room 584 is an 84-year-old Caucasian woman who was transferred to Lynchburg General hospital on December 12, 2016 from Stonewall hospital in Lexington in order to receive pulmonary care.

Introduction With all the changes that have been recently made in healthcare, including how it is delivered to the general public, organizations and businesses are searching for better, more effective means of healthcare delivery. Challenges such as preventative care, healthcare accessibility, healthcare system abuse, and the need to reduce hospital readmissions are being examined for possible solutions. One of the solutions they discovered is the use of Community Paramedicine and Community…

it can be difficult to evaluate. The mnemonic PQRST is used to assess chest pain: Provocative or Palliative: What makes the symptoms worse or better? Quality: The symptoms are to be described by Mr Bellows. Typical descriptions of chest pain from myocardial ischemia may include: squeezing, tightness, pressure, chest constriction or burning. Religion or Radiation: Where do the symptoms occur in the body? Is there…

respiratory rate of 26, and a blood pressure of 165/100. After running a ECG, occasional PVCs and ST elevation in leads II, III, aVF, V5, and V6 displaying signs of a transmural or STEMI. The patients serum troponin I levels were elevated representing infarction. The patient also had an elevated HbA1c of a value of 9.0%. A value greater than or equal to 6.5% is the diagnostic value for diabetes mellitus (Aguilar, 2011). Mr. D also present with dyslipidemia with a total cholesterol level of…

In this case myocardial ischemia (stable angina) or a sudden occlusion by thrombosis of the artery occurs, causing a lack of oxygenation of the myocardium leading to acute coronary syndrome (unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction). Bronchial asthma is a chronic disease characterized by inflammation of the bronchi, episodically or continuously, which will bring result…

Based on our findings, the NSAIDs aspirin and ibuprofen do have an impact on the heart rate of the Lumbriculus variegatus worms as evidenced by Figures 2 and 3 above. We observed that caffeine also had an impact on the heart rate of the worms. We can state that our hypothesis was correct when it came to the ibuprofen solutions because evidence supports the claim that the ibuprofen does increase the heart rate in Lumbriculus variegatus. Furthermore, as the concentration of ibuprofen increased,…
