Systolic and Diastolic Heart Failure Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood for the body due to a weakened or damaged heart. The heart’s pumping action moves oxygen-rich blood as it travels from the lungs to the left atrium‚ then on to the left ventricle‚ which pumps it to the rest of the body. The left ventricle supplies most of the heart’s pumping power‚ so it’s larger than the other chambers and essential for normal function. (American Heart Association). In left-sided

body system there are homeostatic imbalances and one for the cardiac system is heart failure. Heart failure on the left side can happen in two ways‚ systolic heart failure and diastolic heart failure. A systolic heart failure is when the left ventricle cannot contract normally‚ which causes a decreased amount of oxygenated blood in the body because the heart cannot pump the blood efficiently. A diastolic heart failure is when the left ventricle cannot relax normally. This is because the heart muscle

EVERY SUCCESS STORY IS ALSO A STORY OF GREAT FAILURE Failure is the highway to success. Tom Watson Sr. said‚ "If you want to succeed‚ double your failure rate." If you study history‚ you will find that all stories of success are also stories of great failures. But people don’t see the failures. They only see one side of the picture and they say that person got lucky: "He must have been at the right place at the right time." Let me share someone’s life history with you. This was a man who

Background Heart failure (HF) is a condition in which the heart muscles lose its ability to pump sufficient blood to the body. It’s considered as one of the leading causes of death in the U.S with an estimated direct and indirect cost of $39 billion per year.1 Bioenergetics dysfunction is common in HF patients‚ which leads to energy starvation of the cardiac cells.2 Therefore‚ some medical providers encourage their patients to take ubiquinone‚ a lipid-soluble antioxidant‚ as an adjunct HF therapy

In this essay I will address market failure and how it may have occurred in a country of my choice‚ as well as how they have tried to correct the issues. Market Failure has many definitions‚ although I found that the one that best described it would have to be from the ‘Investopedia’. Of which it states that ‘in any given market‚ the quantity of a product demanded by consumers does not equate to the quantity supplied by suppliers’. This is due to the lack of certain economically factors that prevent

Market Failure In theory‚ the free market is regarded as an efficient system in the allocation of scarce resources. The market economy makes use of the price mechanism to make the above decisions to allocate resources according to the wishes or preferences of the consumers. However‚ in reality‚ the free market does not always allocate scarce resources efficiently in a way that maximizes society’s welfare. This is known as market failure. (Resources are said to be allocated efficiently if the market

Heart Failure Heart failure (HF)‚ often called congestive heart failure (CHF) or congestive cardiac failure (CCF)‚ occurs when the heart is unable to provide sufficient pump action to distribute blood flow to meet the needs of the body. Heart failure can cause a number of symptoms including shortness of breath‚ leg swelling‚ and exercise intolerance. The condition is diagnosed with echocardiography and blood tests. Treatment commonly consists of: lifestyle measures such as smoking cessation
