Renal artery stenosis

Breathing rate is the number of breaths or the number of movements indicative of inspiration and expiration, per unit of time, the most common unit of time is per one minute. In this experiment and investigation I can determine that the breathing rate increases as exercise is done. This is because the muscles in the body require more energy, which is achieved by reacting oxygen with glucose, and thus oxygen volume amount would have to be increased, which is achieved by taking in or inspiring…

difficulty in diagnosis without taking the blood pressure. Symptoms may include body pains, headache, fatigue, dizziness and other end organ specific symptoms such as poor vision. • Aneurysms: An aneurysm is an irregular swelling in the wall of an artery. Aneurysms mature and develop for years without initiating signs or symptoms until they break, grow big enough to press on immediate body areas, or block blood movement. The signs and symptoms…

injury such as physical damage to the muscle, high fever, metabolic disorders, excessive exertion, convulsions or anoxia of the muscle for several hours, large amounts of myoglobin are usually excreted.”(Huether & McCance, 2012, p. 1097) In acute renal failure myoglobin precipitates in the tubules obstructing the flow through the nephrons and causing injury. Damage to the myocyte causes an influx of sodium into the cell and cytosolic calcium accumulation due to direct injury to the cell. The…

Laparoscopic assisted colon endorectal pull-through Overview: Laparoscopic assisted endorectal pull-through colon is minimally invasive surgery for Hirschsprung's disease; the part of the colon that does not have nerve cells is pulled through the anal canal and cut away, while the healthy end is sutured to the rectum. In addition to anal, surgical instruments, and a narrow lighted instrument with a video camera at the end (laparoscope) is inserted into the abdomen through four holes to mobilize…

The penis becomes partially erect with a few seconds of erotic stimulation. Both the testes are drawn towards the perineum. The scrotum also becomes tense and thicken. Lasts from minutes to several hours. Then there is the swelling of the clitoris. The muscle that surrounds the vaginal opening becomes tighter. The vaginal walls also start to produce a lubricating the liquid. The breasts also increase in size and the nipples become hard. The rate and blood rate pressure increase. Breathing…

On a physical exam palpitations are a common symptom of AF often described as a rapid “fluttering in the chest,” with irregular “fluttering” that suggests AF, atrial flutter, or tachycardia with variable block.11 In patients with chronic atrial fibrillation, in-office exercise such as a brisk walk in the hallway may reveal an intermittent accelerated ventricular response as the cause of the palpitations.11 The clinician should look for signs of hyperthyroidism, or signs of stimulant drug use…

Migraines are a type of headache that is known as a "pounding" inside of your head. It has been proven that women who suffer from migraines have an increased risk on developing a cardiovascular disease later in life. Around one in five women suffer from migraines everyday, the pain varies on the person. However, if you are one of these people that experience migraines you are 39% higher to experience a heart attack. You are also 62% higher to have a stroke and 73% higher to have angina. Angina…

Introduction: Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) is recommended as a non-invasive test to determine the presence and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). Aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of 256 slice CTA compared with invasive catheter angiography(ICA) in the diagnosis of significant CAD. Methodology: A prospective observational study in patients suspected of having CAD and undergoing both CTA and ICA for evaluation. Patients with coronary stents or surgical grafts were…

(2) Accelerated idioventricular rhythm An accelerated idioventricular rhythm is seen in as many as 20% of patients who have an AMI. This pattern is defined as a ventricular rhythm characterized by a wide QRS complex with a regular escape rate faster than the atrial rate, but less than 100 bpm. AV dissociation is frequent. Slow, nonconducted P waves are seen; these are unrelated to the fast, wide QRS rhythm. Most episodes are short and terminate spontaneously. They occur with equal frequency in…

and heart strain/chest pain which are some of the consequences of meth use. The reason for these symptoms is because meth is a powerful stimulant that can will speed up the heart while constricting blood vessels. The constriction of our patient’s arteries and veins resulted in intolerable chest pain and pressure. Vital signs such as temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure, and respiration rate were collected with the lab data. As for our patient, his heart rate and blood pressure where higher…
