The cardiac conduction system of the heart consists of specialized muscle cells that generate and send rhythmic electrical impulses to the myocardium in order for the heart to contract (Cardiac Conduction System‚ 2016). When there is the normal rhythm of the heart it is called sinus rhythm and any deviation from sinus rhythm is called an arrhythmia (Saladin‚ 2012). Electrocardiograms (ECG) record the electrical impulses and help determine when there are any abnormalities in the way the heart functions

Cardiac surgeons are people who do treatments and surgeries to treat people with heart and lung disease. They also deal with vessels and organs. There are a lot of different types of operations. There is heart valve repair and replacements‚ heart defect repair‚ coronary artery bypass‚ aneurysm repair‚ heart transplant‚ lungs (lung disease). They complete the most surgeries in their field. Grey’s Anatomy influenced me because in that show it’s a bunch of different types of surgeons and I liked cardio

Cardiac This is an involuntary muscle‚ found solely in the walls of the heart‚ as well as in the walls of the blood vessels. This sort of muscle has similarities with the skeletal muscles‚ because it is striated. Furthermore‚ it has slight similarities to the smooth muscles‚ because its contractions are not under conscious control. On the other hand this type of muscle is highly specialised. It is under the control of the autonomic nervous system‚ however‚ even without nervous imput contractions

My career goals are to work within cardiology or a career that focuses on cardiac sciences. The occupation I hope to attain is Cardiac Physiologist (CP). Work values are characteristics of work that are important to one person’s job satisfaction and fulfillment. I am aware that I value other components in the workplace environment more than others. The components I value and prefer more are learning and skill development‚ ethics‚ teamwork‚ structure and client contact. Work values provide a sense

What organs and which body systems are affected by this disorder? Congestive cardiac failure defined Congestive cardiac failure (CCF) is a progressive disease of the heart‚ which involves loss of pumping ability by the heart. Congestive cardiac failure occurs when the myocardium loses its ability to pump enough blood to meet the body’s metabolic needs and is

science staff (cardiac physiologist). A cardiac physiologist’s role comprises of recording and analysing a variety of physiological data required to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of different cardiac diseases (Scst.org.uk‚ 2016). They are qualified to perform a range of non-invasive cardiovascular procedures‚ from electrocardiograms to pacemaker and ICD checks which I have observed during placement. In addition‚ cardiac physiologists are also trained to assist in cardiac catheterization
