decades‚ scientists have been using electromagnetic and sonic energy to serve medicine. But‚ aside from electro surgery‚ their efforts have focused on diagnostic imaging of internal body structures—particularly in the case of x-ray‚ MRI‚ and ultrasound systems. Lately‚ however‚ researchers have begun to see acoustic and electromagnetic waves in a whole new light‚ turning their attention to therapeutic—rather than diagnostic—applications. Current research is exploiting the ability of radio-frequency (RF)

node or SAN‚ which is the pacemaker of the heart. Is a small area in the upper wall of the Right atrium‚ close to the vena cava; the fibers of the of the SAN contract 70 times each minutes‚ and after that the impulse is disperse across the atrial cardiac muscle. 2. Simultaneous contraction occurs in both‚ the right and the left; that is mean between tricuspid and bicuspid valves. 3. The atria contraction sends impulses

Sudden cardiac arrest is the largest cause of nature death in the United States‚ causing about 325‚000 deaths in the United States annually. Half of all heart disease deaths are caused by sudden cardiac arrest. (Cleveland Clinic) Sudden cardiac arrest is the sudden‚ unexpected loss of heart function‚ which is caused by abnormality in heart rhythm which is a result from problem with heart’s electrical. Sudden cardiac arrest is more frequent in adults in their mid 30’s and 40’s and is more likely

Muscles are all made of the same materials‚ a type of flexile tissue of thousands narrow tissues that make up all the muscles. There are three types of muscle tissue in the human body which are Cardiac‚ Smooth and Skeletal Muscles. Cardiac Muscles are muscles that conduct‚ forced‚ being completely in heart‚ responsible for pumping activity of heart‚ very heavy and solid. Smooth are non band‚ not under voluntary force found in comfortable organs of body accountable for growth like absorption of food

Cardiac Pacemakers The heart is bestowed with a specialized system that automatically generates rhythmic control via the sinus node‚ located in the superior lateral wall of the right atrium near the opening of the superior vena cava. The specialized pacemaker cells dictate control of the rest of the heart through regular electrical impulses that propagate from the right atria to the lower ventricles. The rapid conduction of these impulses cause the muscle cells of the atria to contract

----------------------- The Atrioventricular Node (AVN) • This is the node that involves both the atria and ventricles. • The AVN is deep in the centre of the heart muscle. • It picks up the wave sent by the SAN and delays it by about 0.1s to let the atria finish contracting before the AVN sends the second wave. • The AVN uses the Purkyne tissue (a conducting tissue) to the apex. • The wave is sent up through the ventricles making them contract‚ pushing the blood through the semilunar valves

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

disease is the number one killer in the United States of America. Sudden cardiac death‚ or SCD‚ is the largest cause of natural death in the United Sates. SCD causes about three hundred twenty-five thousand adult deaths each year in the US. Half of all heart disease deaths are caused by sudden cardiac arrest. Occurring mainly in adults in their mid-thirties to mid-forties‚ SCD affects only one or two children each year. Sudden cardiac arrest is not a heart attack‚ or myocardial infarction‚ but it is possible
