Risk factors for stroke include old age‚ high blood pressure‚ previous stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)‚ diabetes‚ high cholesterol‚ tobacco smoking and atrial fibrillation. High blood pressure is the most important modifiable risk factor of stroke. It is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Stroke symptoms typically start suddenly‚ over seconds to minutes‚ and in most cases do not progress further

Disturbing of the animal makes it to squirts out jets of water through the atrial aperture and this gave the organism the name sea squirt. Anterior end of the animal is made by the oral aperture and posterior end is attached to the substrates and in the dorsal position the atrial aperture is placed. The body

Heartbeats are initiated with electrical impulses which start out in Sino Atrial Node. The Sino Atrial Node sends its electrical impulse to the atrium when it detects that it is full as when the atrium is full it contracts and squeezes the blood in to the ventricles. In order for the ventricles to squeeze the blood out of the ventricles and in to the arteries so it can be pumped around the body‚ the electrical message from the Atrial Ventricular Node needs to be at the bottom of the heart‚ otherwise known

Renal disease case study This case relates to renal disease; therefore~ purposefully look into the medication use and vocabulary as they relate to renal patients. Vocabulary: Before attempting to work the case study‚ define each of the vocabulary words. Although the words may have several subheadings‚ it will give you a place to begin your inquiry. When reviewing the vocabulary words‚ you might want to ask several questions: who‚ what‚ where‚ when‚ why and how. This should give you a much broader

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
