Valvular heart disease

While The Machine That Won the War by Isaac Asimov and The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin are both very ironic stories, they have two different types of irony. The main theme of The Machine That Won the War is a machine, called the Multivac. Yet it is found out the machine really did not win or even help out in the war, ironically contradicting the title. The results were just being doctored by John Henderson, the main character, and his superior, Jablonsky, to make it seem the machine actually…

Congenital heart diseases refers to the structural (anatomical) or physiological defects in the normal functioning of the heart as a result of birth defects that may be diagnosed soon after birth or may take years to produce full blown cardiac insufficiency. Valvular heart defects form the most common variety of congenital cardiac defect that is associated with high morbidity and mortality in adult years if no management options are employed. This is because the metabolic demands of the body…

Every year, thousands people get heart valve replacements. There are multiple options for replacement valves that can be generalized as either mechanical or biological. One of the mechanical options from the 1970s and 1980s was the Bjork-Shiley valve, which became infamous because of the controversy surrounding its stress fracture failures. These failures resulted the death of about 400 people, causing the valve to be taken off the market. The decisions made leading to this issue must be…

Coronary Artery Disease Levi Gatherwright Morehead State University Coronary Artery Disease Coronary Artery Disease, CAD for short, is caused by a buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries that supply the heart with oxygenated blood. The plaque (Atheroma) is a waxy like substance that consists of calcium, lipid compounds, and blood clotting compounds such as macrophages and fibrin. The buildup takes many years to accumulate; the plaque eventually swells the arterial wall restricting blood…

What is the title of the text and what is the text about? The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin relates about a woman suffering from a heart condition, whose husband just died. Some relatives try to tell her the news in a careful way, to make sure her heart wouldn't give up on her. At first, she cries inconsolably, but then she retires to her room and locks herself in. Although she is aware that her husband loved her very much, and she knows that she will certainly cry for him at his funeral,…

sound suggestive of structural heart abnormalities. Question: What is an echocardiogram and how is it used diagnostically? Generate: Echocardiography is a modality that uses sound waves to visualize the structures of the heart. In general, a transducer emits high-pitched ultrasound waves (4-30 MHz) which bounce off different parts of the heart; the echoed sound waves are then used to generate a moving image.1 Three modes are utilized in the imaging of the heart: two-dimensional (2D) imaging,…

females who exercise will have a higher relative-VO2, higher a-vO2-difference, higher stroke volume(SV) and higher cardiac output(CO) at their peak work rate; than individuals who do not exercise. In addition, we predict that females who exercise their heart rate(HR) will be lower before and after exercise than in females who do not exercise. These subjects performed high intensity exercises on an ergometer until exhaustion. Cardio-respiratory values were analyzed during and after exercise with…

or sign to appear as that person. Irony is something when you don’t expect the expected. For example, in the short story of “The Story of an Hour” when Mrs. Mallard realizes that she is free and walks downstairs she sees her husband walk in and her heart stops and she dies. In the short story, Richards, which is Brentley Mallard’s friend, told Mrs. Mallard that her husband had just died and her sister tries to comfort her while going upstairs.…
