This can lead to other problems such as the aorta weakening and stretching‚ causing leaks and bulges in the aortic wall ("Marfan Syndrome"). Also‚ they may have a protruding or sunken chest that may result in abnormal accumulation of air in the chest which could cause a lung to collapse. The main cause of all these symptoms is a disorder in the connective tissues

The catheter was then repositioned at the aortic bifurcation and bilateral oblique CO2 pelvic arteriogram was acquired. The catheter was then crossed over the aortic bifurcation with a .035 inch guide wire with the tip positioned within the left external iliac artery. The left lower extremity arteriogram was then acquired (Continued)

The septum is a wall that separates the left and right chambers. Upper chamber of heart called atria and lower chamber call ventricle. Left and right chamber separated by septum. Heart valves ensure one-way blood flow from one chamber to the other. THE CARDIAC CYCLE: Heartbeat consists of three steps collectively called

During the physical examination‚ we were unable to elicit findings typical of pneumonia such as dullness on both the lower lung fields‚ crackles‚ and increased breath sounds. We attributed this to the medications that were already taking effect on the day prior to conducting the physical examination. Administration of antibiotics and expectorants relieves the pulmonary congestion by reducing the bacterial load and purging the mucus that clogs the bronchi.
