Myocardial infarction

Blood flow and volume. The SOMATOM Definition Flash provides dynamic myocardial stress perfusion imaging, while the hemodynamic relevance of stenosis can be evaluated by syngoVolume Perfusion CT (VPCT). The ability to obtain accurate cardiac perfusion information, in addition to morphologic information from CT coronary angiography…

Mr. ABC came in to the emergency department (ED) with a chief complaint of left sided chest pain with giddiness and associated with diaphoresis the same morning. While in the ED, he developed a sudden episode of shortness of breath. Mr. ABC has nil past medical or surgical history and has an allergy to Enalapril. His parameters taken are as follows: • Blood pressure: 112 /60 mmHg • Pulse rate: 42 beats/min • Temperature: 35.9°C • Spo2: 97% on room air • Respiration rate: 17 breaths/min An…

builds-up on their walls. A chronic inflammatory response in the arterial wall by the macrophage accumulation, promoted by low-density lipids.5 It is caused by the formation of multiple plaques within the arteries that can lead to stroke and myocardial infarction. Macrophages tend to rupture plaques by releasing lytic???? enzymes that break plaques in the arteries. Biomarkers such as plasma lipid estimation and myeloperoxidase, calcium, tissue plasminogen activating factor levels will not…

In an attempt to treat chronic myocardial ischemia, during angioplasty and stenting, Hedman et al [72] delivered vascular endothe¬lial growth factor encoding plasmid through liposomes, with the aim to prevent in-stent restenosis and postangioplasty but the treatment doomed to change the…

final measure that I would like to measure is the personal performance of each paramedic to properly recognize changes in the electrocardiogram (EKG) and other symptoms that indicate a patient is or could be experiencing symptoms of an acute myocardial infarctions within the first ten minutes of arriving at their side. I will be using the following types of benchmarks for my data collection which are internal and comparative benchmarks. The internal benchmarks will in the two clinical areas…

involved in the study, and he co-wrote an article that describes how he built off of a previous study to further research the relationship between plaque build-up and myocardial infarction. The Author and His Starting Point Thomas M. Maddow co-wrote the article Non-obstructive Coronary Artery Disease and Risk of Myocardial Infarction. This article is one of the original sources of the popular press article An Incipient Danger to our Hearts, written by Jane E. Brody. According to Jane Brody…

Stress directly effects the body and its ability to function. An individual suffering from a high stress lifestyle is suspected to increase his or her risk not only to heart disease, but also to having a myocardial infarction (MI), more commonly known as a “heart attack”. MI describes the effects of blood blockage to part of the heart in which cardiac muscle either is damaged or dies. This particular medical condition presents an increased risk because its onset can be fatal. Physiologically,…

ibbs Reflection Model Introduction Engaging inter-professionally within seminars, practical classes and group work sessions in this module has developed my personal and professional skills significantly. Topics studied included Professionalism, The Patient Journey, Study Skills and Inter-professional Education but I will follow Gibbs Model of Reflection (1998) to illustrate how attending and participating in practical classes on Emergency Life Support and seminars on Teamwork were…

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 to diagnosis(3). Based on several assessment findings A healthcare provider can diagnose a heart attack based on several assessment findings(3). There are three tests to diagnose the heart attack the blood test,…

Procainamide 15 mg/kg loading dose followed by 2-5 mg/min maintenance infusion.  NOTE: Lidocaine (class 1B) is the drug of choice for ventricular tachycardia during acute ischaemia and myocardial infarction. Haemodynamically unstable VT or no response to lidocaine  Synchronized DC shock starting with 50-200 Joules.  In ventricular fibrillation Unsynchronized 200 Joules followed by 360 Joules, if required.
