diagnosis: Diagnosis is usually made from patient history and find other causes of heart failure. (The signs and symptoms for heart failure dyspnea, fluid retention, peripheral edema, nausea.) The most helpful tools of the diagnosis is echocardiogram. The chest x-ray identify the heart enlargement. Character’s : • Heart failure symptoms, including unexplained right heart failure • Arrhythmias • Conduction abnormalities • Thromboembolic events • angina pectoris managements : Heart-Healthy…
“Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a life-threatening acquired pathologic process in which the clotting system is abnormally activated, resulting in widespread clot formation in the small vessels throughout the body. The pathophysiology is excess thrombin is generated, followed by deposition of fibrin strands in the body tissues.” (Ball, 2012) “The circulating fibrin fragments later begin to interfere with platelet aggregation and other aspects of the clotting mechanism, resulting…
Heart Disease In the world today, there are many harmful and deadly diseases. These diseases are caused by people themselves or they are caused by human nature or probability. One of the many diseases that affect people is heart disease. Heart disease can strike anyone at anytime. The history of heart disease dates back to the Egyptian mummies. Pharaoh Merenptah died from atherosclerosis, which is a type of heart disease. Some early discoveries were made by Leonardo da Vinci and William Harvey…
The circulatory system is composed of vessels that take blood from the heart, thin-walled capillaries where exchange occurs, and vessels that return blood to the heart. Blood is pumped by the heart simultaneously into two ways the pulmonary and systemic circuits. The pulmonary system takes blood through the lungs where gas exchange occurs and the systemic system transports blood to all parts of the body where exchange with tissue fluid takes place. In practical terms, we can think of the…
present in the heart, and is also what the heart entirely consists of. Skeletal Muscle is seen as covering the skeleton, and controls all of the movement of the human body. Visceral muscle is located in the organs of the human body, and in blood vessels. This type of muscle is also called smooth muscle, as it has a very “smooth” appearance under a microscope. Just like how the cardiovascular system could not function without the muscular system, the same holds true for the muscular…
Introduction The cardiovascular system provides appropriate organ and tissue perfusion at rest and at times of stress by regulation of blood pressure (BP). BP can be expressed as the product of cardiac output (CO) and peripheral resistance. The arterial pressure level at any given time reflects the composite activities of the heart and the peripheral circulation.(Jones, 2004). Nervous system, hormonal and Kidney factors control blood pressure. 1. Nervous System 1.1 CO – Cardiac output CO…
the heart is to pump deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary veins around the lungs. 3. What are the major blood vessels that bring blood into the right side of the heart? out of the right side of the heart? The major blood vessels that bring blood into the right side of the heart are the right pulmonary veins and the right ventricle carries the blood out. 4. What are the major blood vessels that bring blood into…
Jugular Veins The most accessible veins for examination are the internal and external jugular veins in the neck. Both veins drain bilaterally from the head and neck into the superior vena cava. The external jugular vein lies superficially and is just above the clavicle. The internal jugular vein lies deeper, along the carotid artery. It is best to examine the right internal jugular vein because it follows a more direct anatomical path to the right atrium of the heart. The column of blood inside…
Calcium Channel blockers (CCB) are prescription medication that relax blood vessels and increase the supply of blood. It is commonly used for patients with heart conditions such as hypertension or high blood pressure. In the left ventricle, you have contractile muscle cells of the heart that contract when they are pumping blood which is known as stroke volume (SV). Calcium comes from outside the cell because of action potentials (AP) which is a signal to the left ventricle that causes an…
