Peripheral Artery Disease and Risks The common cause of peripheral artery disease (PAD) is atherosclerosis. Less common causes of peripheral artery disease may be blood vessel inflammation‚ injury to your limbs‚ unusual anatomy of your ligaments or muscles‚ or radiation exposure (Mayo Clinic‚ 2016). The risk factors for PAD are the same as those for atherosclerotic disease; they are smoking‚ hypertension‚ diabetes‚ increased levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)‚ decreased levels of high-density

What the valves do: • Prevent backflow into the atria and ventricles‚ ensuring that blood only flows one way through the heart. what vessels bring blood to the heart and take blood away‚ etc... Veins from the systemic circuit bring deoxygenated blood back to the heart‚ while veins from the pulmonary circuit bring oxygenated blood from

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY Chronic Kidney Disease Cardiovascular System The cardiovascular system is sometimes called the circulatory system. It consists of the heart‚ which is a muscular pumping device‚ and a closed system of vessels called arteries‚ veins‚ and capillaries. As the name implies‚ blood contained in the circulatory system is pumped by the heart around a closed circuit of vessels as it passes again and again through the various "circulations" of the body. The Heart * The heart

BLS CPR Training Guide CPR stands for Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation. This involves the giving if life giving breaths and a series of external chest compression to person who has no breathing and no pulse. Often‚ CPR is associated with medical emergencies such as heart attack‚ drowning‚ chocking. It should be noted however that CPR is applicable to any situation where in the victim or patient has no breathing and no signs of life The Chain of Survival The chain of survival

What is pulmonary circulation? Pulmonary circulation is the movement of blood from the heart‚ to the lungs‚ and back to the heart. 4. The sound you hear when you listen to your heart with a stethoscope is actually what? The sound you hear through a stethoscope is your valves shutting to prevent blood from flowing the wrong way. 5. Distinguish between systole and diastole phases of the heart. During the systole phase‚ the right ventricle is sending blood into the pulmonary artery and the
