Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a situation where the heart is not able to pump adequate blood to the other organs of the body. Causes of CHF are coronary artery disease‚ past myocardial infarction‚ hypertension‚ heart valve disease‚ cardiomyopathy‚ congenital heart defects‚ endocarditis and myocarditis (American heart association‚ 2013) .In the case scenario of Mr. P 76 year old man comes with the history of cardiomyopathy and CHF and in the past repeatedly admitted for the management of CHF

increases heart rate. E.It increases the rate of cross-bridge cycling in ventricular cells. 3. Which of the following statements concerning the capillaries is false?(2.0 Score ) A.Velocity of blood flow is slower in the capillaries than in the arteries. B.Increasing capillary hydrostatic pressure decreases the likelihood that filtration will occur. C.It is possible for a capillary to filter at its arterial end and absorb at its venous end. D.Discontinuous endothelium is more likely to be found

Extra Credit Assignment A: Terms 1 – 20 1.) Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is similar to coronary artery disease (CAD). PAD is a problem in the circulatory system where your arteries become narrow which leads to less blood flow to your limbs. PAD develops in your extremities‚ more commonly your legs‚ which can make walking become painful‚ also known as claudication. 2.) Aortic valve stenosis (AVS) is when the aortic valve‚ which is between the aorta and left ventricle of the heart‚ becomes narrow

To define the following: blood flow; viscosity; peripheral resistance; systole; diastole; end diastolic volume; end systolic volume; stroke volume; cardiac output. 2. To explore cardiovascular dynamics using an experimental setup to simulate a human body function. 3. To understand that heart and blood vessel functions are highly coordinated. 4. To comprehend that pressure differences provide the driving force that moves blood

The heart functions to take deoxygenated blood from the body and pump it to the lungs to re-oxygenate it‚ to pump it back through the body. Without this system‚ body tissues wouldn’t get oxygen and therefore not function and the person would not survive. The function of the left side of the heart is to take oxygenated blood from the lungs and pump it out to and through the rest of the body. This is the systemic circulation of the heart. With every body system there are homeostatic imbalances and

Human Services‚ 2012). The failure can occur in on either side of the heart. In left-side heart failure‚ fluid backs up into the lungs‚ causing shortness of breath‚ due to the fact that the blood entering the left side of the heart comes from the pulmonary artery‚ and when the left ventricle cannot pump fluid out of the heart or when the left atrium cannot empty completely into the ventricle it backs up into the lungs. In right-side heart failure‚ fluid can back up into the abdomen‚ legs‚ and feet‚ causing

It can do harm if you use antibiotic to treat flu. How would left ventricle failure contribute to pulmonary edema? The pressure increases inside the left atrium and then in the veins and capillaries in our lungs. This causing fluid to be pushed through the capillary walls into the air sacs. Medical conditions that can cause the left ventricle to become weak and eventually fail include Coronary artery disease. How can one differentiate between sinusitis and a cold? It is difficult to differentiate

An alert just came and we are in for a wild surprise. A bacteria has invaded Brittany’s lower lobe of her right lung and we need to report the invasion and document all we see as to what we see also. The femoral vein runs parallel with the femoral artery through the upper thigh and pelvic region of the body (Yahoo Health‚2013) Being one of the larger veins in the body‚ the femoral vein returns blood into the leg to the heart through the iliac vein. Before we get to the iliac vein‚ we are going to
