The research report is divided into two different tasks interlinked with the Cardiovascular System. The first part is based on the conduction pathway of heart and its different stages. Whereas‚ the other task is based on a case study in regards of blood vessels‚ baroreceptors‚ kidneys‚ adrenal glands and heart rate that has affect the pulse and blood pressure of the patient.

The nurse is performing her admission assessment of a patient. When grading arterial pulses‚ a 1+ pulse indicates: Above normal perfusion. Absent perfusion. Normal perfusion. Diminished perfusion. Murmurs that indicate heart disease are often accompanied by other symptoms such as: Dyspnea on exertion. Subcutaneous emphysema. Thoracic petechiae. Periorbital edema.

Discuss problems and limitations of warfarin and heparin therapy‚ and show how these might be overcome by the new generation of direct oral anticoagulants. Anticoagulant drugs are used to prevent thrombosis in patients at long-term risk‚ in non-thrombotic patients when a high risk situation occurs and to treat established thromboembolism. The main anticoagulant drugs currently in use in the UK are warfarin‚ heparin and various analogues of heparin. These drugs are effective in the treatment and

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States (National Stroke Association‚ 2010). Stroke is also a leading cause of disability. Approximately every 40 seconds someone in the United States has a stroke which is about 795‚000 per year (National stroke Association‚ 2010). The incidence of stroke makes it a major health problem in the United States. Prevention and early intervention is the key to reducing death and disability from stroke. Cost effective prevention strategies are

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‚

The wave reaches the other patch of heart muscle called the Atrioventricular Node (AVN). This pressure pushes open the semi lunar valves (tricuspid valves) at the base of the pulmonary artery and blood leaves the heart.

The pressure of the blood in the ventricles increases as they fill with

With Ebstein’s anomaly‚ pulmonary atresia‚ right ventricular conduction deficiencies‚ atrial septal defect‚ and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome are common comorbidities that accompany this congenital malformation (Cite).

Thyroid Clinical Case Study 1. The thyroid gland is part of and a major organ of the endocrine system. This gland is composed of two cone-like lobes connected together forming a butterfly shape ( shown in figure 1).The isthmus is a thin band of connective tissues which connects the two lobes of the thyroid gland is located between the pyramidal lobe and the trachea. (Cohen and Wood 2000) The thyroid gland is situated on the anterior part of the lower neck‚ below the larynx (voice box) and
