fluoroscopic guidance. The peel-away sheaths and introducers were advanced over the guidewires‚ and the guidewires were removed. The pacemaker leads were advanced under fluoroscopic and electrophysiologic guidance into the right ventricular apex and right atrial appendage. The pacemaker leads were seen to function adequately in vivo and were sutured in place with 0 silk. The leads were connected to the pulse generator‚ which was delivered into the wound in the usual fashion; 2-0 Vicryl suture was used to

chambers. The cardiac cycle is controlled by electrical waves that spread throughout the heart. The blood flows into the heart straight into the atria via the vena cava and pulmonary vein. A wave of electrical activity is firstly spread from the Sino-atrial node which spreads across both atria‚ this causes the atria to contract which forces blood down into the ventricles through the atrioventricular valves. The atrioventricular septum prevents the wave crossing the ventricles. The wave passes to the

Lab 34b Cardiovascular Physiology 1. What was the baseline heart rate for the frog? 59-63 bpm 2. Which wave is larger‚ the one for atrial contraction or the one for ventricular contraction? Why? Ventricular. It shows the strength of the ventricle as it pumps blood‚ and it is a thicker muscle to pump stronger as it contracts 3. At what time during the contraction cycle was it possible to induce an extrasystole? The time during the relaxation part of cardiac cycle. 4. By clicking the Multiple

COAGULATION AND THROMBI Haemostasis‚ the physiological response to vascular injury‚ results in the formation of a haemostatic plug that prevents blood loss. Under normal conditions‚ factors that promote blood coagulation are balanced by those that inhibit it. Pathologic thrombosis occurs when procoagulant stimuli overwhelm natural anticoagulant and fibrinolytic systems. Venous thrombi‚ which form under low shear conditions‚ are predominantly composed of fibrin and red cells. Thrombi may develop

motions to move to robotic hands inside the patient’s chest cavity. While doing this‚ the camera gets detailed pictures of the heart and the structures of the heart. This surgical procedure has repaired over 300 mitral valves‚ and over 150 atrial septic defect closures. It is most commonly used for prostatectomies‚ cardiac valve repair and gynecologic surgical procedures. The director of the Johns Hopkins Cardiac Surgical Research program‚ Dr. Yuh believes that “bestowing the sense of touch” to

EMPHYSEMA (CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE) EMPHYSEMA -is a condition of the lung characterized by abnormal‚ permanent enlargement of the airspaces distal to the terminal bronchiole‚ accompanied by destruction of their walls. This over-inflation results from a breakdown of the walls of the alveoli‚ which causes a decrease in respiratory function and breathlessness. In emphysema‚ the lungs loose elasticity and are unable to fully expand and contract. This occurs

immediately brought me to her station. On her desk were three computer monitors. On the monitors were EKG’s of every patient in Telemetry A‚ B‚ and C. The technician went into detail about many different kinds of heart conditions. I learned what an EKG of Atrial Fibrillation and Ventricular Fibrillation looked like. She also printed me out a few examples of both. The technician showed professionalism when reporting on her patients. She did so by promptly alerting a nearby nurse when a patients heart rate
