closer the donor and recipient were genetically related. (Link 2) Doctors still kept experimenting up until 1954 when the first successfully kidney transplant happened (link1). Some of the other organs that Doctors were transplanting were livers and hearts. In the 1960’s and 70’s antirejection drugs helped increase helped increase the success rate of organ transplants (Link 1).A drug that helped the success of organ transplants was called cyclosporine which was developed in the 1970’s(Link…

There are numerous reasons for cardiomyopathy, yet the final outcome is a heart that is frail and can't keep up a normal discharge part or cardiovascular activity. Symptoms: There may be no symptoms or signs at the beginning of cardiomyopathy.…

inside wall of the heart through a thin, flexible catheter. In other words, it is a pacemaker without the leads (Bongiorni et al., 2016). A pacemaker is a small device that is placed in the chest or abdomen to help control abnormal heart rhythms. This device uses low-energy electrical pulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate (60-100 beats per minute) (Mann, Zipes, Libby, & Bonow, 2015). Brief History and Background The idea of artificial electrical stimulation of the heart can be…

ambulances, hospitals, etc. This is to show how it was first made, and who created it, and first developed it. Along with how it has helped people today in modern times. Understanding how willem einthoven had a compelling achievement in understanding the heart rhythms and how to analyze them. In this essay I will help you understand what is essential to vital human life today, and how it came to be understanding the electrocardiogram. Willem Einthoven was born in 1860, on May 21st, born in…

Coleus forskohlii. For many years, natives of Thailand, India and Nepal have used Forskolin to mend heart problems, angina and even hypertension. Apparently, the substance acts within the heart muscles and walls of the blood vessels to render an impressive heartbeat and widens the blood vessels. Consequently, it lowers blood pressure numbers, increases oxygen flow, and modifies or improves overall heart health, hence, the results are remarkably optimistic. More benefits of Forskolin…

Before the sixteenth century, the practice of medicine bore no relation to the practice of medicine today. Medical practices rested solely on the writings of the second-century physician Galen because it gave a rational explanation on how the heart, liver, veins, arteries, and lungs provided nourishment for the body.

The patient exhibited rapid and faint peripheral pulses with HR120 bpm (tachycardia)), BP 90/50 mmHg (hypotension) and capillary refill of 4 seconds, extremities cool, clammy and molted, bilateral ankle edema and 3rd heart sound present. Documentation of carotid pulse presence but the absence of radial pulse, the patient may be experiencing cardiogenic shock. Here the poor contractibility of cardiac muscle causes stoke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO) to decline (Elliott…

is Respiratory Distress Syndrome. Tertralogy of Fallot is a birth defect and affects normal blood flow. During development in the mother’s womb, the heart of the baby does not form correctly and this condition is the result. This condition is a congenital defect, meaning that the child is born with this condition. There are four defects of the heart and the blood…

achieve this, the cardiovascular system is divided into two circuits- the pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit. The pulmonary circuit consists of the heart, lungs and pulmonary veins and pulmonary arteries. This circuit’s role is to pump deoxygenated blood to from the heart to the lungs; it then becomes oxygenated blood and returns to the heart. It then pumps the oxygenated blood to the body’s tissues, muscles and organs which provides them with nutrients. Once the oxygenated blood has…
