    I will also carry out and a stress echocardiogram this is an ultra-scan of the heart that gives me an accurate picture of how well Mrs Webster’s heart muscle are working to pump blood while her heart is beating faster and harder than usual. The images should display signs that parts of the heart are not receiving enough blood or oxygen because her arteries are blocked or narrowed. I decided to perform this test because she has been experiencing angina within the last year.…

    Heart failure is an ailment where the heart is not able to pump the required amount of blood to the body. Left-sided heart failure is described as when the heart cannot pump enough oxygenated blood to the body while Right-sided heart failure is when the heart cannot fill with the appropriate amount of blood.1 One or both of these may occur with heart failure. In the United States, 5.8 million people have heart failure and this number is continuing to grow.1 With the number of people with this condition growing, it is important to outline the incidence and etiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, medical diagnosis, medical and pharmacological management, and prognosis of heart failure as a way to inform and decrease…

    Congestive heart failure is a very common disease. While many other forms of heart disease have become less common, heart failure has been increasing. Congestive heart failure has become the most common diagnosis in the hospital for patients over 65 years of age. Diastolic heart failure accounts for up to 40% of patients with congestive heart failure and is associated with a better prognosis as compared to patient with systolic dysfunction (Arora, Krummerman, Vijayaraman, Rosengarten, Suryadevara, Lejemtel, and Ferrick, 2005). Congestive heart failure occurs when the flow of…

    As we age, certain changes in the heart are inevitable. Even in the absence of disease, the wall of the heart thickens, heart rate slows, maximum heart rate declines, and the heart doesn’t pump as efficiently as it once did. Health problems, such as hypertension, coronary disease, congestive heart failure, and myocardial infraction are more common in the elderly and aggravate age- related degenerative change in the circulatory system and that’s why I’m here to talk to you today (Unknown 2012). Age-related change doesn’t only affect your body parts but your internal organs and body systems as well. As we age, we never think about our heart giving out on us are will stop pumping, but the reality for example, just as your eyes weaken and produce less tears your heart weakens too as you get older. We put more and more strain on our hearts, making the heart having to work ten times harder.…

    Congestive Heart Failure is a condition in which the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the needs of the rest of the body (Department of Health & Human Services, 2012). The failure can occur in on either side of the heart. In left-side heart failure, fluid backs up into the lungs, causing shortness of breath, due to the fact that the blood entering the left side of the heart comes from the pulmonary artery, and when the left ventricle cannot pump fluid out of the heart or when the left atrium cannot empty completely into the ventricle it backs up into the lungs. In right-side heart failure, fluid can back up into the abdomen, legs, and feet, causing swelling. The blood being pumped into the right ventricle comes from systemic veins, and when the right atrium or ventricle can 't sufficiently empty, the fluid tends to back up into the body.…
