Sudden cardiac death

This muscle group is used in almost everything a person does. It is a huge and important part of all of the functions of a human. It can be strengthened in many different ways depending on which part, if any, you would like to focus on. The Abdominal muscles do a lot for the body to keep it functioning. They assist in breathing and protecting the important organs within the body. They assist in bodily functions such as urinating, childbirth, singing, vomiting and much more. They also assist in…

tissue: Cardiac and skeletal muscle Cardiac and skeletal muscles have very few similarities and many differences. Firstly cardiac muscles location is found in the heart and the skeletal muscle location is found all over the body in every single bone present in humans. The similarities of cardiac and skeletal to start with is that they are both striated muscle structured, but cardiac is lightly striated and skeletal is heavily striated. Now to describe the differences, initially cardiac muscles…

What is the all-or-nothing principle, and how does it work? In order to fully understand the all-or-nothing principle, one must first know what an action potential is and its relevance to the all-or-nothing principle. Therefore, an action potential is a very short wave of positive electrical charge that travels down an axon. In connection to the all-or-nothing principle, it is important to know that the action potential obeys the all-or-nothing principle. The all-or-nothing principle states that…

neurodevelopmental evaluation due to his involvement in study protocol, 16-H-0144, Impact of Elastin Mediated Vascular Stiffness on End Organs. XX is from Manchester, England. He was diagnosed with supraventricular aortic stenosis (SVAS) and experienced multiple cardiac arrests and heart surgery associated with this diagnosis. He currently experiences hypertension, difficulty regulating his temperature, difficulties with memory, migraine headaches, GI pain, and anxiety. XX is color blind. XX’s…

Hello everyone as part of my PrinHealthSci project I read an article that was very captivating to me. As many of you may know, heart attacks are fatal occurrences that typically result in the death of part of a heart muscle. Recent studies at John Hopkins Medical Hospital have shown that a special sticky protein, gel that they created can help stem cells stay in or on rat hearts and restore their metabolism after transplantation. This discovery has given a new way and hope for researchers to…

Muscle contraction is a process leading to the shortening and or development of tension in muscle tissue. Tension is developed in muscle tissue when muscles contract. That tension may or may not lead to movement. To contract means to shorten; however, this is not always the case in a muscle contraction. The tension may cause muscle to remain the same, elongate, or condense. When muscles decrease in length (e.x. lifting weights) it is called a concentric contraction. When muscles increase in…

) . PENETRATING CARDIAC TRAUMA Penetrating trauma is the most common cause of significant cardiac injury seen in the hospital setting, with the predominant injury being from guns and knives. Penetrating cardiac trauma is secondary to stab wounds in 35 to 96 percent of patients…

Bradyarrhythmias - occurs when the heart rate is slower than normal (lower than 60 bpm) . if the heartrate is too slow not enough blood reaches the brain (this can cause you to pass out). Bradyarrhythmias is due to the flawed cardiac conduction system (group of cardiac muscle cells in the walls of the heart that send signals to the heart causing it to contract) at the level of the atrium or atrioventricular. A heartbeat that is too fast is called tachycardia. A heartbeat that is too slow is…

The heart is one of the major organs in the body that is essential. The heart is considered a pump that helps the blood flow, continuously, throughout the body. The heart is located under the rib cage, between the lungs, and more on the left side of the breastbone. It has two major coronary arteries, electrical impulses, four chambers, and four valves to help the blood flow one way. Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium from the superior and inferior vena cava. When the right atrium…

Blood Pressure: Systolic and Diastolic Abstract Blood pressure is when your heart beats and so it pumps blood back up to your body for it to have energy and oxygen. However, as your blood pushes it creates strength, so this creates blood pressure. Pulse is to see the rate of your heart going beats per minute. In this experiment, we gather data to see if the level of physical activity could affect the result of the systolic and diastolic measures in blood pressure and if the pulse would also be…
