2 Positive and negative effects of a particular scientific advance Cardiac MRI (Heart MRI) What Is a Heart MRI? A magnetic resonance imaging test (MRI) uses magnets and radio waves to capture images inside your body without making an surgical incision. An MRI allows your doctor to see the soft tissues in your body‚ along with your bones. An MRI can be performed on any part of your body. However‚ a heart or cardiac MRI looks specifically at your heart and the adjacent vessels. Unlike a CT

is not perfect and problems may arise. However before its flaws can be mentioned and analysed. It would be prudent to understand how the heart functions in the first place before going in depth into the various problems that might arise within the cardiac cycle. Of which a large number are covered under the various Arrhythmias‚ which can be divided into two major groups‚ ventricular arrythythmias and supraventricular arrythythmias. I.e.‚ arrythythmias that occur in the ventricles and arrythythmias

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
Premium Heart
Wall The heart is composed of cardiac muscle which enable the heart to contract and allow the synchronization of the heart beat. The heart wall is divided into three layers: the epicardium‚ myocardium‚ and endocardium. * Epicardium - outer protective layer of the heart. * Myocardium - muscular middle layer wall of the heart. * Endocardium - inner layer of the heart that is continuous with the inner lining of blood * Cardiac Conduction * Cardiac conduction is the rate at which

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

CONGESTIVE CARDIAC FAILURE Congestive cardiac failure is defined as “the state in which the heart is unable to pump blood at a rate adequate for supplying the requirements of the tissues with function parameters remaining within normal limits usually accompanied by effort intolerance‚ fluid retention and reduced longevity” (Denolin‚ 1983‚ p. 445). Congestive cardiac failure or heart failure continues to be a major public health issue worldwide. This paper is a case study report about C.B‚ a 60

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

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
