Kate Marsh 04 April 2014 Congestive Heart Failure Heart failure affects almost 6 million Americans. About 670‚000 people are diagnosed with heart failure each year. It is also the leading cause of hospitalization in people older than 65. Congestive heart failure means that the heart is still pumping blood‚ but at a slower rate than normal‚ so the pressure in the heart starts to increase as a result. This slower heart rate causes the heart to be unable to pump enough blood to provide the rest of

Captopril and Lisinopril has no effect on the ACE2. But‚ they prevents the formation of the Ang-2 from Ang-1 by inhibiting ACE. 6. Angiotensin-2 type-1 receptor (AT1R) plays a vital role in the controlling of the blood pressure and blood volume in the cardio vascular system. If we knockout AT1R hypotension will occurs due to the increased levels of the angiotensin-1. 7. EDTA is type of chelating agent. EDTA blocks the activity of the ACE1. However‚ EDTA has no effect on the renin activity. The renin

Atherosclerosis is a type of cardiovascular disease where the arterial walls become thickened and hardened due to an excessive build up of fat‚ cholesterol and other substances in the inner lining of arteries forming plaque. Atherosclerosis typically begins in early adolescene and progresses with age.To date‚ the exact cause of atherosclerosis still remains unknown. However‚ there are several risk factors include age‚ gender‚ racial factors‚ family history‚ high blood pressure‚ high cholesterol‚

Thirst is the craving for liquids‚ resulting in the basic instinct of humans or animals to drink. It is an essential mechanism involved in fluid balance. It arises from a lack of fluids and/or an increase in the concentration of certain osmolites such as salt. If the water volume of the body falls below a certain threshold‚ or the osmolite concentration becomes too high‚ the brain signals thirst. Continuous dehydration can cause a myriad of problems‚ but is most often associated with neurological

PRESENTATION BY: GIZELLE WILKINSON SUBJECT: ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION STUDENT NUMBER: M00037713 CLINICAL SCIENCES II INTRODUCTION Essential hypertension‚ otherwise known as primary or idiopathic hypertension‚ is a condition of raised blood pressure with no identifiable cause. Secondary hypertension occurs when blood pressure elevation results from a specific and potentially treatable cause. These include renal diseases‚ endocrine causes‚ congenital cardiovascular causes

of each word. Try not to give the shortest or simplest answer. Instead‚ use the following example for ACE inhibitors: Instead of answering “ACE inhibitors are a group of drugs that treat hypertension‚” ask yourselves: Who is usually prescribed angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors? Where is the ACE located? When are most prescribed? What medical diagnosis warrants an ACE inhibitor? How do they work? While defining the remainder o/the vocabulary words‚ ask the following questions: Angioedema:

Drug Classifications A.C.E. Inhibitors - Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors block the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Avoiding Angiotensin II may avoid increased blood pressure and vasoconstriction. They usually have the suffix "PRIL" A.2.R.B. - Angiotensin 2 Receptor Blockers block Angiotensin 2 enzymes from specific receptor sites. Avoiding Angiotensin 2 activity helps prohibit vasoconstriction. They usually have the suffix "ARTAN" Anti-Biotics - Anti-Biotics inhibit the
