four years. This disease doesn’t receive attention like heart attacks and blocked arteries but the majority of these individuals could be saved with early detection through screenings and diagnostic testing. Simple blood tests will show death of cardiac enzymes. EKGs‚ stress tests‚ and other procedures can help with a diagnosis. If a patient has a family member‚ especially a parent or sibling with a cardiomyopathy‚ genetic testing should be pursued so that early prevention treatment can save or

and interventional cardiology began with the birth of catheterization starting from the early ancient Egyptians going back to 400 B.C. During 400 B.C.‚ catheters were fashioned by hollow reeds and pipes were used as cadavers to study function of cardiac valves‚ then in 3000 B.C.‚ ancient Egyptians performed the first types of catheterization which started from the bladder using metal pipes (Choudhury‚ Rahman‚ Azam‚ and Hashem 75). With the very basic beginnings of inserting pipes and tubes‚ these

ECG is a powerful tool in the diagnosis of heart disease. It is exciting to unlock the codes behind the squiggles and spikes and actually decipher a patient’s heart patterns. However‚ I was having trouble identifying atrioventricular (AV) heart blocks. Therefore‚ I was extremely reassured by the first sentence of this article. Apparently‚ it is common to have difficulty decoding these rhythms‚ which gives me hope that with knowledge and practice‚ I will master them. Part of

However‚ what is cardiovascular disease and what is a heart attack? A cardiovascular disease is defined as a disease of the heart or blood vessels. A heart attack is defined as a sudden and sometimes fatal occurrence of coronary thrombosis‚ typically resulting in the death of part of heart muscle.

and AV nodes to generate cardiac action potentials without any stimulus. Cells cable of spontaneous depolarization are called automatic cells. The automatic cells of the cardiac conduction system can stimulate the heart to beat even when the heart is removed from the body. Spontaneous depolarization is possible in automatic cells b/c the membrane potential does not “rest” during phase 4. Instead it slowly creeps to ward threshold during the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle. Because threshold
