such as arthritis. when i went around with the nurse I saw as the nurse took vitals of the patient‚ such as their blood pressure (BP)‚ heart rate‚ temperature‚ pulse‚ oxygen level and etc. I was also taught that pulse is the rhythmic beat of the arteries caused by the contractions of the heart. The nurse used a little tripod on wheels that had all the materials to take the signs. The nurse wrote down all the vitals on a chart and then moved on to the next patient and did the same.

The dive response prevents this from happening because it lowers the heart rate so that a lesser quantity of blood is pumped out through the constricted arteries. 2.)

Lifestyle Those who do not exercise are more likely to develop hypertension. These people tend to have higher heartbeat rates than those who work out‚ and this forces the heart to work harder during each contraction. This puts more pressure on the arteries‚ so the propensity for heart diseases or heart attacks becomes greater. A sedentary lifestyle is also a precursor to being overweight or obese‚ which is another hypertension risk factor. The heavier the weight‚ the more blood is necessary to deliver

I. Public Health Problem Coronary heart disease is a chronic disease in which plaque‚ fatty deposits‚ builds up inside the coronary arteries which supply blood to the heart. The build up of plaque is called atherosclerosis and can develop for many years undetected. Some common symptoms of coronary heart disease are chest pain‚ shortness of breath‚ and extreme fatigue with exertion‚ in turn increasing the risk of other health issues such as angina pectoris and eventually heart attacks. Today‚ coronary

After the third day she begins having shortness of breath and supplemental oxygen is needed. Considering T.V.’s history and her recent abdominal surgery‚ she is most likely experiencing respiratory distress due to pulmonary emboli. DVT is the most frequent source of pulmonary emboli‚ which is a blockage in the main artery of the lung. Pulmonary embolism is usually

angina pectoris—is a symptom of an underlying heart condition. It means that the heart is not getting enough blood and as a result‚ not enough oxygen. This decrease of oxygen being delivered to the muscle of the heart happens if one or more coronary arteries are narrowed or blocked‚ a condition called atherosclerosis. This type of blockage may result in chest pain. And while angina does not usually damage the heart‚ and the pain might only last a few minutes. 1.10.1 Types of angina: 1. Stable angina:

limited and unreliable data there is no significant increase in the heart rate or blood pressure of male adolescents when placed in this situation. INTRODUCTION As blood flows through all parts of the body‚ it exerts a pressure on the walls of the arteries carrying it. Blood pressure reflects this force through two numbers‚ the systolic and the diastolic. The systolic measures the pressure when the heart muscle contracts and the heart beats‚ while the diastolic measures the pressure when the heart
