MRI 5. Does the instrument that was used to measure cardiac volume use X-rays? Explain. No. MRI uses a powerful magnet in conjunction with radio frequency waves to generate images of your internal organs and structures. .

CARDIAC TUMORS INTRODUCTION Cardiac tumours occur quite rarely‚ with metastatic neoplasms three times more prevalent than primary tumours. A large variety of benign and malignant tumours of the heart have been described. These tumors are found mainly in the heart‚ but can occur in the pericardium or the great arteries. Secondary cardiac involvement from malignant tumors of adjacent organs (lung‚ thymus) or from kidney (Wilms tumor) or liver‚ or even remote organs‚ are also seen. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

Cardiac Cycle The cardiac cycle describes the coordinated and rhythmic series of muscular contractions associated with the normal heart beat. The cardiac cycle can be subdivided into two major phases‚ the systolic phase and the diastolic phase. Systole occurs when the ventricles of the heart contract. Accordingly‚ systole results in the highest pressures within the systemic and pulmonary circulatory systems. Diastole is the period between ventricular contractions when the right and left ventricles

Sudden cardiac death happens more these days. There are so many people alone in the United States who just stops breathing with no heart disease involved. So why did their heart stop? There are so many researchers out there trying to figure out the underlying cause of these people who this happen to. There can be other reason why a person’s heart can stop without having a cardiac disease. A person’s body may store minerals that control the arrhythmia of the heart to act a different way.

Cardiac catheterization is often referred to as coronary angiography or a coronary angiogram. It is a radiographic procedure that is used to look at and visualize the heart and the coronary arteries. During a cardiac catheterization it is possible for the cardiologist performing the procedure to see how effectively blood is flowing through the coronary arteries. In addition‚ this procedure allows the cardiologists to see how blood is moving through the chambers of the heart and how effective the
Premium Atherosclerosis Myocardial infarction Cardiology
The cardiac electrical activity is produced and controlled by the Sinoatrial (SA) node in the right atrium and the Atrioventricular (AV) node in the interatrial septum. The electrical signals move through the cardiac conduction system fibres causing the atria and ventricles to contract and relax regularly between 60-100 bpm [1].when those electrical signals are interrupted as a result of a damage in the conduction system‚ the heart rate would become irregular or would either increase resulting in

The symptom of heartburn can also be caused by other unusual things such as intestinal motility problems. Cardiac problems can also mimic heartburn and you should not confuse the two. Unexplained chest pain should be evaluated by an exercise stress test or EKG prior to an evaluation for gastrointestinal
