STROKE A stroke—also called a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or a brain attack—is an injury to the blood vessels of the brain that causes neurological malfunctioning. In the United States‚ as many as 87% of all strokes are caused by the sudden blockage of a cerebral artery. The resulting decrease in blood flow leads to ischemic damage in the region of the brain that is fed by the artery. These CVAs are called ischemic strokes. Most ischemic strokes are due to blood clots. The remaining 13%

ventricle after at the end of systole. End diastolic volume the amount of blood at the end of diastole that each ventricle has filled up with. Systemic Arterial Blood Pressure is the force of blood pressure on the arterial walls just after ventricular contraction. Cardiac output is the volume of blood ejected from the left or right ventricle into the aorta or pulmonary trunk per mind. Cardiac output equals stroke volume times the heart rate; therefore‚ if the anything that decreases cardiac output

the closing of the Atrioventricular valve caused by ventricular contraction. The R wave occurs during the depolarization of the ventricles. Hence the lub sound occurs because of both the depolarization and consequently the closing of the AV valves which prevent blood flow back into the atria.

It first begins in the SA node where it starts the impulse‚ then it is delayed at the Av node‚ then the impulses passes the heart apex and ventricular excitation begins‚ which leads to the ventricular excitation to be complete. As the impulses move around the heart it allows us to track the blood flow of the heart and the changes that occur in voltage or other areas within the
