"Half the people diagnosed with CHF will be dead within five years" (www.nhlbi.nih.gov). Causes CHF is usually divided into two categoriesleft-sided and right-sided heart failure. Left sided heart failure happens when the left ventricle (lower chamber) becomes weak‚ dilates like an inflated balloon‚ and is unable to generate sufficient force to create proper blood flow (called systolic failure). In some patients diastolic dysfunction is the culprit. With this condition‚ the left ventricle becomes

Hard activities such as running and laughing results in change of wave pattern. Introduction The heart is an organ responsible for regulating the blood flow by pumping the blood to the body by its four chambers. The two upper chambers are called Atria‚ and the two lower chambers are called ventricles. The electrical system normally occurring in the heart is what causes the heart muscle to contract and pump blood through the heart‚ to the lungs and to the rest of the body. Electrocardiogram

(55)” Within Brad Levett’s essay there are three key elements that strongly support my ideas bout Medea’s characteristics. He restates that verbal autonomy and verbal self-restraint are both perceived as masculine traits. I agree that Medea lacks verbal self-restraint and I believe this reveals her feminine side. Then‚ towards the end of the play we witness Medea’s dual personalities conflicting with

Cardiovascular System Anatomy & Physiology The heart is the pump responsible for maintaining adequate circulation of oxygenated blood around the vascular network of the body. It is a four-chamber pump‚ with the right side receiving deoxygenated blood from the body at low presure and pumping it to the lungs (the pulmonary circulation) and the left side receiving oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumping it at high pressure around the body (the systemic circulation). The myocardium (cardiac

Introduction Cardiac contusion is an injury‚ or bruise‚ to the heart. This means that the chambers of the heart (atria and ventricles) are injured by a strong blow (trauma) to the chest area. Mild injuries to the heart may cause no symptoms. More serious trauma to the heart may cause pain and an irregular heartbeat. In rare cases‚ it can lead to shock and death. Depending on the trauma or accident‚ other body parts‚ such as the lungs and ribs‚ may also be injured. Prompt treatment is important to
