Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)‚ also known as benign prostatic hypertrophy‚ is a histologic diagnosis characterized by proliferation of the cellular elements of the prostate. Cellular accumulation and gland enlargement may result from epithelial and stromal proliferation‚ impaired preprogrammed cell death (apoptosis)‚ or both. BPH involves the stromal and epithelial elements of the prostate arising in the periurethral and transition zones of the gland. The hyperplasia

CARDIOVASCULAR Dsyrhythmias * Etiology * Disturbances in automaticity – initiation of impulse is altered * Disturbances in conduction – alteration in the speed the impulse travels * Reentry of impulses – cardiac tissue is depolarized multiple times by the same impulse * Speed‚ distance and location can be changed or affected (blockages cause change in heart rhythm) * Risk factors * Cardiovascular disease‚ MI * MI – death of tissue – no electricity

Etiology & Risk Factors Congestive Heart Failure can be brought on by many conditions. These conditions include Coronary Artery Disease‚ Heart Attack‚ and lastly Cardiomyopathy. Coronary artery disease can develop in humans after years over time after years of fatty deposits in the vascular system (Arteriosclerosis). After a heart attack the heart muscles are weakened and cannot perform the way they could prior to the attack. Therefore‚ as the muscles lose their pumping ability the heart cannot work

Cardiovascular System: Intrinsic Conduction System 1. The intrinsic conduction system consists of __autorhythmic____ __cardiac__ cells that initiate and distribute __impulses_____ throughout the heart. 2. The intrinsic conduction system coordinates heart activity by determining the direction and speed of ____heart depolarization____. This leads to a coordinated heart contraction. 3.

Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia that is associated with a reduced quality of life and an increased number of adverse outcomes such as stroke‚ heart failure‚ increased number of hospitalizations and mortality. Prevalence in developed countries is currently 1.5-2% of the general population‚ with the incidence steadily rising. Hence‚ prevalence is estimated to at least double in the next 50 year as the population ages. It has become a big deal for the health care system in
