in children are due to a viral infection‚ it can get better once the infection disappears. However‚ this is not sure. If the condition gets worse‚ then the only treatment is a heart transplant. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy‚ also known as asymmetric septal hypertrophy‚ hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy or idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis is a rare condition. This condition makes the left ventricle to enlarge; alternatively‚ the septum separating the two ventricles expands. This type

Dr. J.K. McClain and other members of the cardiology department consulted on the patient. They felt that his hypoxia and breathlessness were not secondary to his cardiac status. He had supraventricular cardiac arrhythmias‚ including atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. The cardiology staff utilized intravenous medications that controlled the cardiac rate‚ adequately resolving these cardiac issues. I managed the patient’s ventilator and the intensive care status along with my respiratory therapy

Homeostasis What is homeostasis? Homeostasis is the mechanism in our body that regulates and maintains a stable and constant environment. This enables our body to respond to changes in the environment around us as. The homeostatic mechanisms in our body‚ observe and monitor conditions and will then make a judgment whether to change the way the body functions is order to adapt to the outside surroundings better. The main organs involved in homeostasis are; the brain‚ liver‚ skin and kidney’s.

Allows completion of atrial contraction before initiation of ventricular systole. 2. Even though cardiac muscle has an inherent ability to beat‚ the nodal system plays a critical role in heart physiology. What is that role? Ensures that depolarization proceeds in an orderly

Cardiovascular system: The circulatory system: The circulatory system is made up of the vessels and the muscles that help and control the flow of the blood around the body. This process is called circulation. The main parts of the system are the heart‚ arteries‚ capillaries and veins. As blood begins to circulate‚ it leaves the heart from the left ventricle and goes into the aorta. The aorta is the largest artery in the body. The blood leaving the aorta is full of oxygen. This is important for
