Running Head: CARIOVASCULAR SYSTEM Cardiovascular System BSC1011 Advanced Biology Tuesday‚ January 17‚ 2012 Cardiovascular System The heart weighs 300 grams and is shaped like a grapefruit and has two atria‚ two ventricles‚ and four valves receive blood from both venae cavae and the four pulmonary veins‚ and throw it into the aorta and pulmonary trunk. The heart pumps blood to 9 liters per day‚ making from 60 to 160 beats per minute. The heart is covered with

CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION CPT PROCEDURE Joanne Johnson AHLT 255 – Advanced Coding Abstract Cardiac catheterization or Heart catheterization is a common diagnostic procedure for many heart-related problems. It examines blood flow to the heart and test how well the heart is pumping. It is the only test that is 100% accurate for diagnosis of possible blockages is a heart cath. Having a catheterization done can prevent heart attacks that cause muscle damage to the heart. Before the procedure you

You correctly answered: c. a single‚ fused ventricle. 05/ Review Sheet Results 1. Explain why the larger waves seen on the oscilloscope represent the ventricular contraction. Your answer: The ventricular contraction is of greater force than the atrial contraction since the ventricular contraction functions to send blood throughout the entire body (systemic circulation). The contraction of the atrium send blood only to the lungs and rest of the the heart (pulmonary circulation). 2. Explain why

Moreover‚ his 2D-echo revealed a normal LV size and function with an ejection fraction of 60%. An aortic valve sclerosis and a dilated left atrial cavity were noted. A follow-up visit with the specialist doctors was recommended. He was discharged in stable condition on

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE HEART Anatomy: The heart and heart wall layers: The heart is located in the left side of the mediastinum; it consists of three muscle layers the Endocardium‚ myocardium‚ and epicardium. The epicardium is the outermost layer of the heart. The myocardium is the idle layer of and actual contracting muscle of the heart. The endocardium is the innermost layer and lines the inner chambers and heart valves. Pericardial sac: The pericardial sac encases and protects

My patient was a 70year old retired home help who presented with a history of fast heart beat (Fibrillation in her own words) of 15years. It is imperative to use open ended questions during such discussions in order to encourage patients to speak freely (Patton‚ 1987). At all times‚ verbal and non-verbal cues are vital when attending to patients; I listened carefully and maintained close eye contact with my patient. The key to effective information gathering is good listening skills (Duffy‚ 1999)
