major veins they are the pulmonary veins. The pulmonary veins are large blood vessels that receive oxygenated blood from the lungs. A Cardiac surgeon is a person that works on the heart when there is a problem and cause. The heart is the most beautiful organ in the body there is. The heart is what keep the body alive and flows the blood. The development of cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass has lowered the rates of being performed. Performing on the heart comes with many complications when

for the situation around them. There are three different types of syncope‚ including cardiac‚ non-cardiac‚ and neurocardiac. There is three stages of syncope‚ which are‚ pre-syncope‚ syncope‚ and recovery. There are many signs and symptoms for each stage of syncope. No matter the type of syncopal episode there is one way to go about treating the patient. Cardiac syncope occurs when there is an “inadequate cardiac output and usually occurs as a result of a serious underlying heart condition (Grimes)”

• Cardiac hypertrophy- This is when the heart increases in size and volume‚ the wall of the left ventricle will get thicker with the help of constant exercise‚ this leads to an increased force of contraction. This will allow the heart to pump out a larger amount of blood with each pump‚ therefore a more efficient heart as it will not have to beat as many times as an untrained heart. • Increase in stroke volume and cardiac output- Stroke volume is defined as the amount of blood the heart is able to

I spent eight hours with the patient in the ‘Ornish’ Cardiac program. Many challenges influence the overall health of communities. Cardio vascular (CV) disease is one of the leading cause of death in the U.S. However‚ by educating the public we can bring the awareness to prevent CV diseases in our community. One of the goal of the St Jude Cardiac Rehab program to provide education to the patient‚ so they can learn how to empower their health. I spent time with a new patient during her admission process

Nikul Patel DS13 25-12-03 Effects of exercise on cardiac output (For results see graph paper) Analysis After the initial period of rest in both girls and boys heart rates rose slightly with light exercise (walking)‚ and then fell again slightly back towards the original resting point. Then during the period of anticipation of exercise the males heart rate rose by a further 1 beat per 6 seconds‚ whereas the females took a dramatic leap‚ and rose by 3.5 beats per 6 seconds‚ or 35 beats per minute

I remember the time when I used to work‚ as a cardiac monitor technician in the Intensive care unit of a local hospital in Tampa. I was watching the patient’s monitors while one of them started showing and ST elevation on the cardiac rhythm‚ (ST elevations usually on the strip can mean different things and depending on the leads showing on the screen‚ it might represent an infarct). In that case‚ the patient was experimenting a heart attack. Suddenly‚ the patient started complaining of shortness

This is a case study of a 76 year old female patient who is suffering from congestive cardiac failure. She has past medical history of hypertension‚ chronic renal failure‚ type 2 diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidaemia. She has been admitted in hospital several times recently and she was discharged 11 days ago from emergency department. Now she is suffering from dyspnoea and she feels like she can not catch her breath due to congestion of lungs. Congestion of lungs occurred due to congestive heart
