The minimum pressure which is exerted in the arteries as a result of ventricular relaxation is known as Diastolic blood Pressure. The difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure is known as Pulse pressure. Pulse pressure = Systolic pressure- Diastolic pressure The Systolic‚ Diastolic Blood

During her stay it was discovered that Mrs. Collins has atrial fibrillation and began treatment of Digoxin. It was also suspected that Mrs. Collins contracted MRSA and the physician would like to continue IV antibiotics for an additional 5 days. It is in this setting that case management was contacted to explore home

Diagnosis: The patient seems to be suffering from Dilated Congestive Cardiomyopathy (DCM)‚ or in simple terms‚ congestive heart failure; specifically ventricular failure. Justification for Diagnosis: The patient said he had been suffering of acute dyspnea which would be caused by the lungs filling with fluid since the heart isn’t able to pump properly. Due to the patients hip replacement it is possible for him to have an infective agent even though he was said to not have one. Sometimes the disorder

heart failure has caused right-sided heart failure. Left -sided heart failure can create right sided-heart failure after an increase in left ventricular pressure is reflected back into the pulmonary circulation (Huether & McCance‚ 2012). This increased pressure stresses the right ventricle to pump against greater pulmonary and vascular resistance and left ventricular pressure (Eckman‚ 2013).

Commonly seen in cardiac diseases including angina pectoris‚ myocardial infarction and pericarditis (Patient.info‚ 2017).

An electrocardiogram (ECG) records the electrical activity of the heart and is affected by the magnitude and direction of the current flow. It works by placing electrodes on the skin as the body is a good conductor of electricity. There are leads attached to an amplifier within the machine‚ which must be clipped to the edge of the electrodes. The ECG is recorded from 12 different electrode sites. The amplitude and the shape of the signals depend upon the position of the electrodes (Brown‚ 1999) (Conover

Nurses ’ Role in Health Assessment of Patient with COPD and CHF The nursing role in health assessment involves a systematic collection of data that provides information to facilitate a plan of care to deliver the best care for the patient. Assessment is the foundation of nursing practice. The nurse carries out health assessment to determine the patient ’s condition of health‚ risk factors‚ as well as the need for health education in order to develop an individualized care plan.

The patient is tachypnoeic due to an increased pressure in the pulmonary veins that will lead to pulmonary congestion that lessens pulmonary compliance‚ which raises the respiratory rate.
