Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the second most common form of heart muscle disease and is the number one cause of sudden cardiac death in young athletes. It affects approximately one in 500 adults in the United States. HCM is a genetically determined heart muscle disease caused by more than 1400 mutations in 11 or more genes encoding proteins of the cardiac sarcomere (Maron & Maron, 2013). HCM is characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) of various morphologies with a wide…

Explain the physiological changes that occur in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems in response to exercise. One of the main physiological changes that occur within the cardiovascular system in response to exercise is heart rate. When engaging in exercise, the amount of energy required increases instantaneously within the skeletal muscles. This sudden demand creates increasing stress on the cardio-respiratory system to remove the waste products and carbon dioxide from the cells and…

Case Summary Savannah is a 16-year-old healthy student female who came with her mother for a routine pre-participation softball sports exam. The visit is to promote and establish professional interaction between adolescent patient and healthcare provider. The immunizations are up-to-date and an interview conducted. Unfortunately, during the assessment was revealed that Savannah is engaging in unprotected sex. Therefore, counseling for birth control was given, and Savannah scheduled to return…

school and adjusting to their new surrounding and their mother reported no concern. Upon chart review, one of the twins had high blood pressure and during physical examination both twins were noted to have grade I and II cardiac murmur heard during systole on the second intercostal space on the right and left midclavicular line which the mother was never aware. Both boys and their mother reported no previous hypertension or cardiac issue. I reported my finding to my FNP preceptor Cindy Cho.…

Basically, a heart throbbing is another way of stating a heart beating quickly. A heartbeat occurs in 0.67-1 second (Simmers, 1988). Throughout that time, a cycle is already taking place. The cycle of a heartbeat consists of two parts: diastole and systole. It is during the diastole when the heart is most relaxed. The heart is not contracting at that time as it is filling up blood in the atria and ventricles. An electric impulse would be send to the heart in order to trigger it to contract.…

Cardiovascular System and Track & Field Relationship Running fitness movement and the cardiovascular system very closely. Both interrelated and influence each other. It requires the cardiovascular system transports oxygen and nutrients during exercise, to the muscle tissue. Running regularly participate in the exercise can enhance the function of the cardiovascular system, beneficial to health. Further, improve cardiovascular function, can further stimulate interest in a sport, so that the…

electrical triggers, if you will) that presage the actual heartbeat. The mechanical beats follow the electrical triggers by about a tenth of a second -- unless, of course, there's a problem. Or to state it in "medicalese," electrical systole and diastole precede mechanical systole and diastole (contraction and relaxation) of the heart by about a tenth of a second. The ECG is an important tool for your doctor, but is hardly complete and comes with several limitations.…

Five basic sorts of music kinds are Classical,Jazz,Rock,Hip-Hop,and Rap.Classical music and Baroque music both use symphonies to deliver their particular sounds, Classical music significantly stresses on a solitary song that every one of the instruments play. Established music began in Europe,around the regions of Italy,Austria,and Germany. "Established music was made amidst 1750 and 1830.Jazz is a remarkable American style of music that created in the mid twentieth century in urban territories…

Heart and Lung Sounds Assessments The knowledge of the normal heart sound, S1 then S2, will aid in the identification of the abnormal heart sounds as the changes of loudness of S1 or the “lub” in “lub-dup” may signify heart pathology. “The second heart sound has been called the key to heart disease” (Shindler, 2007). It is widely transmitted, usually audible, sharper and shorter than S1, and easily heard. Ventricular gallop or S3 is normal in children but not in older populations as it may be…
