VSD group‚ once again‚ the right atrial approach was most commonly employed.8 patients‚ with subaortic location of VSD underwent closure working through the transected aorta after coronary button harvesting. Any excess musculature in the right ventricular outlet was avidly searched for through the aorta and excised to preempt future subpulmonary obstruction. Defects created in the neopulmonary root after coronary button excision were filled by a generous patch of autologous pericardium. A lecompte

stress on the cardiovascular system. Like one by Andrea Sgoifo.‚ et al.‚ in which they compare how nonsocial and social stress controls cardiac electrical activity and come to the conclusion‚ that social stress results in higher possibility of ventricular arrhythmia in rats‚ which can be a reason for a sudden cardiac death (2). Another study on on-call physicians showed that psychological stress at working environment result in “adrenergic surge that predispose to cardiac arrhythmias” (3). Vrijkotte

34B Frog cardiovascular Physiology: computer simulation 1. What was the baseline heart rate for the frog? Ans: 59-63 bpm 2. Which wave is larger‚ the one for atrial constriction or the one for ventricular contraction? Why Ans: 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? Ans: The time during the relaxation part of

1. George Brown‚ 72 years of age‚ is a male patient who is admitted with the diagnosis of acute pulmonary edema secondary to acute left ventricular heart failure. The patient has a history of coronary artery disease that has been treated medically. The patient is anxious‚ pale‚ cold‚ clammy‚ and dyspneic. The vital signs are: blood pressure 88/50 mm Hg‚ heart rate 110 bpm‚ respiratory rate 32 breaths/min‚ and temperature 97°F. There are bubbling crackles and wheezing throughout the lung fields and

Atrioventricular valves are of special thin papillary muscles and tendinous filaments attached to the ends of the sharp edges of valves. These structures are fixed valves and prevent them from "falling through" (prolapse) back into the atrium during ventricular systole. The left ventricle is formed by thick muscle fibers than the right ventricle because it is opposed to higher pressure of blood in the systemic circulation and should make greater efforts to overcome it during systole. “Located on the right

The Cardiovascular System CHAPTER SUMMARY The importance of the cardiovascular system cannot be overstated. This is one system that students frequently know something about‚ at least from a plumbing viewpoint‚ but they often don’t completely understand the complexity of the system and the magnitude of its tasks. An essential component of presentation of the material is then to outline in detail the role of the cardiovascular system and its significance to all other body systems. This chapter

depolarization. The PR segment is a flat line that indicates the signal has left the right atrium and entered the ventricles. The Q‚ R‚ S complex has to deal with the ventricular depolarization and repolarization. As the signal passes out of the ventricles‚ the ventricular walls begin to relax and recover. The T wave is known as the ventricular diastole. The ST segment depicts the period when the ventricles are depolarized. The QT segment interval represents the amount of time it takes for both polarization

sustained systolic blood pressure of 140 mm hg or higher or a sustained diastolic pressure of 90 mm of hg or higher . Numerous studies have shown that untreated high blood pressure damages blood vessels‚ accelerates atherosclerosis‚ and produces left ventricular hypertrophy. The rate at which these changes occur is proportional to the severity of hypertension. Eventually‚ these abnormalities contributes to the development of ischemic heart disease‚ stroke‚ heart failure and renal failure ‚ which are the

How things flow through the heart: • blood drains into the right atrium through the superior vena cava‚ inferior vena cava‚ and the coronary sinus (drains the heart muscle itself)→Right Ventricle→pulmonary semilunar valves→lungs→pulmonary veins→left atrium→bicuspid valve→left ventricle→aortic semilunar valve→systemic circuit. What the valves do: • Prevent backflow into the atria and ventricles‚ ensuring that blood only flows one way through the heart. what vessels bring blood to the heart and
