Echocardiography is to detect congenital heart defects and checks for cardiomyopathy. This is usually performed in a cath lab and watched very closely. They

Facility Planning Part 1 Pediatric Cardiology Clinic I chose to develop a plan for a pediatric cardiology clinic in our local area‚ the need for the clinic is very great due to the fact that the old cardiology clinic has closed down and there are no other pediatric cardiology clinics within at least a two hour drive from here. This clinic is an outpatient clinic that will be open from 8am to 5pm and closed on the weekends‚ with an emergency line for patients needing to speak to the cardiologist

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A lot of people have been getting into the weight-loss bandwagon. Nowadays there are numerous supplements and drinks that promise significant weight loss after a certain amount of time following regular consumption. One famous chemical currently advertised is L-carnitine. The substance is water soluble which oxidizes and transports long chain fatty acids into the mitochondrion (Dokmeci et al.‚ 2005; Gulcin‚ 2006)‚ transeterifies and acetyl-CoA‚ oxidizes branched chain

early age. Some different types of cardiovascular disease includes angina‚ heart attack‚ heart failure‚ atherosclerosis‚ cardiovascular disease‚ and cardiac arrhythmias. Other forms of cardiovascular disease include congenital heart defects‚ cardiomyopathy‚ infections of the heart‚ coronary artery disease‚ heart valve disorders‚ myocarditis‚ and pericarditis. Symptoms of cardiovascular disease vary depending on the specific type of cardiovascular disease. A classic symptom of cardiovascular disease

Most of the cardiac injury ultimately results in development of cardiac fibrosis due to negligible regenerative capacity of heart. Cardiac fibrosis is associated with increased deposition of matrix proteins in the myocardium. The expansion of the cardiac interstitial space in absence of significant cardiomyocyte loss is “reactive interstitial fibrosis” and the formation of scar in response to myocardial infarction is called “reparative fibrosis” [10‚ 46]. Increased deposition of endomysial and perimysial

. Methylphenidate‚ also commonly known as Ritalin‚ is classified as a central nervous system stimulant‚ which is used for the treatment of both attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. This drug works by preventing the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine‚ which results in the increased activity of these two neurotransmitters within the synaptic space‚ which occurs by modulating the activity of the dopamine transporter and the norepinephrine transporter.
