Introduction Within the United Kingdom, the prominent cause of death has been coronary heart disease. Coronary heart disease is the gradual accumulation of atheroma, which ultimately obstructs the heart from oxygenated blood as the blood vessels become narrow. The likelihood of having coronary heart disease is associated with numerous risk factors, ranging from smoking to ethnic background (NHS Choices, 2014). However, this essay will only focus on the aspects of psychosocial and behavioural or…

sign is swelling because of an influx of fluid into the damaged area. One more sign is redness which is due to vasodilation- the widening of blood vessels and bleeding in the joint or structure). The clotting mechanism is the process of blood changing from its usual liquid state to a solid form. The clotting happens straight away after a blood vessel gets injured. There are three stages of the clotting mechanism, the first part is about the formation of prothrombinase. The formation of…

infections in the body. The final function of the cardiovascular system is regulation. Blood vessels control the homeostasis of the body, an example of this is blood vessels control the amount…

The importance of tightly regulating plasma volume is to see how much water can a person excrete, and how the total amount of blood volume has a direct effect on plasma osmolarity. As a result, plasma volume has a direct effect on the blood pressure. Basically, when the blood contains low amount of water, it can result in decrease in plasma volume, and increases in serum osmolality which led to blood having increased viscosity (Evans 1. et al. 1506). Additionally, the plasma volume results in…

patients with a-fib. Rodriguez-Manero, Sarkozy, Chierchia, Casada-Arroyo, Ricciardi, and De Asmundis believe antiarrhythmic drugs, also, reduce the mortality rate. Amiodarone is one of the most important drugs found to be effective throughout the research. Amiodarone decreases the workload of the heart, allowing blood to be released out of the atria and into the ventricles. The continuous movement of blood, throughout the heart, does not allow thrombi to form. Amiodarone can become toxic to the…

The heart is considered the “engine of life” through its ability to rhythmically pump oxygen rich blood throughout the body to supply life. Unfortunately, this vital organ is vulnerable to damage through actions of everyday life ranging from smoking, diet, physical inactivity, and consumption of alcohol. Damage to the heart results in heart disease, also known as cardiovascular disease. Because of the vast complexity of the heart, heart disease branches off into various categories including…

severe disability such as amputation or even death (Rosales, Mathewkutty & Gnaim 2008). The management of CLI require collaborative efforts in order to provide long-term outcomes. The primary goal of infrapopliteal endovascular therapy is to maintain vessel patency and restore the blood flow of lower extremity in order to reduce the risk of complications related to limb loss Tibial bypass or amputation are the two major surgical choices in patients with CLI. However, these procedures…

The conventional on pump CABG employed CPB to extracorporeal oxygenate the venous blood through the machine and then pump the blood back to the patient while the surgeon perform anastomosis between a graft and a coronary artery. During the surgical procedure, a cross-clamping was applied on the aortic artery to provide myocardial protection, and the heart was induced to cardioplegia with drugs, so the surgeon can perform anastomosis on a motionless field, thus guaranteeing the quality of the…

1.0 Introduction Cerebrovascular disease is the collective identification of conditions that affect the flow of blood and blood vessels in the brain, usually resulting in strokes (Saladin K. S., 2012). This study aims to explore the effective treatment and prevention of the issue, as well as the incidence of the disease in Germany, and prevalence in both Australia and the United States. 2.0 Cerebrovascular Disease Cerebrovascular disease often leads to strokes, otherwise known as a…

is very important, problems can occur that disrupt the normal routine. One of these we will be focusing on today is known as Reyes Syndrome. (Next Slide) The Cardiovascular, or Circulatory system consists of three main components; the heart, blood vessels and blood itself. The heart is a fist sized organ which weighs between 250-350 grams and can be found to the…
