A hospitalization for a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious matter and can be life threatening. DVT is a venous obstruction caused by incompetent valves. This is treated extremely aggressively due to the potential for it to cause embolization to the pulmonary circulation. Patient T.V. has recently had abdominal surgery and is now in the hospital to treat DVT in her left leg. After the third day she begins having shortness of breath and supplemental oxygen is needed.

Pathophysiology Paper Pathophysiology of Congestive Heart Failure I. Description: Congestive Heart Failure is more of a syndrome than a disease. Heart failure may be classified according to the side of the heart affected‚ (left- or right-sided failure)‚ or by the cardiac cycle involved‚ (systolic or diastolic dysfunction). (Schilling-McCann p. 176). The word "failure" refers to the heart’s inability to pump enough blood to meet the body’s metabolic needs. (Schilling-McCann p. 176). When the heart

TIAs are powerful forerunners of stroke. Approximately 10% of patients diagnosed as having a TIA have a stroke in the 90 days following the TIA diagnosis‚ with half of them having a stroke within 2 days of the TIA. TIAs are short-lived episodes of acute‚ focal‚ nonconvulsive neurologic dysfunction presumably caused by reversible ischemia to an area of the retina or brain. Onset of symptoms is sudden and often unprovoked‚ reaching maximum intensity almost immediately. Completed Stroke A completed

The Frank-Starling mechanism appears to make its greatest contribution to increasing stroke volume at lower work rates‚ and contractility has its greatest influence at higher work rates. This allows the cardiac output to be synchronized with the venous return‚ arterial blood supply and humeral length[1] without depending upon external regulation to make alterations. As the heart fills with more blood than usual‚ the force of cardiac muscular contractions increases.[2] This is a result of an increase
