physiologic concept of ventricular interdependence‚ whereby changes in pressure‚ volume‚ and function in one ventricle influence the function of the other. The pericardium plays a pivotal role in cardiac changes during inspiration. Normally‚ as the right atrium and ventricle fill during inspiration‚ the pericardium limits the ability of the left-sided chambers to dilate. This contributes to the bowing of the atrial and ventricular septums to the left‚ which reduces left ventricular (LV) filling volumes

See Figure 1. The first is a ventricular septal defect (VSD)‚ which is a hole between the left and right ventricles. The second is an overriding aorta. The aorta‚ instead of rising from the left ventricle‚ is located further to the right‚ directly above the VSD. Third‚ there is pulmonary valve stenosis. The narrowing of the pulmonic valve induces the right side of the heart to work harder to push blood through it and results in the fourth defect‚ right ventricular hypertrophy (Children’s MN‚ 2012)

The initiation of the Amiodarone Protocol is one such process that will improve quality care and reduce morbidity and mortality rate by decreasing the rise of Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) post coronary artery bypass graft (CABG).

SUBJECTIVE Mr. Hamilton was readmitted to MCCRC on 03/02 and seen on 03/05/2018. Mr. Hamilton had been here after a motor vehicle accident‚ leaving here with fractured ribs‚ pneumonitis‚ fractured sternal‚ and a complicated right acetabular hip fracture. He recuperated and was able to return home on analgesics. He was on amiodarone‚ Lasix‚ metformin‚ and glimepiride for his diabetes. He did not check his blood sugar‚ although I had advised him to do so. He has been thinking his diabetes is a

Obesity is the term that describes those who have too much body fat or a high Body Mass Index (BMI). Obesity has become an epidemic in the United States‚ causing health crises among various age groups from young children to adults. Obesity is the culprit behind illnesses such as diabetes‚ high blood pressure most importantly‚ heart conditions. If you are obese and have severe impairments of the heart valve‚ arteries‚ capillaries and veins then you may be eligible for Social Security Disability

1/Nastic Movement: "Nastic movements are non-directional responses to stimuli (e.g. temperature‚ humidity‚ light irradiance). The movement can be due to changes in turgor or changes in growth. Nastic movements differ from tropic movements in that the direction of tropic responses depends on the direction of the stimulus‚ whereas the direction of nastic movements is independent of the stimulus. The rate or frequency of these responses increases as intensity of the stimulus increases. An example of

Homeostasis Homeostasis Is a technical term for the process of maintain a constant internal environment despite external changes. The internal environment‚ compromises; blood‚ tissue fluid‚ body cell contents and all the metabolic processes taking place.

COAGULATION AND THROMBI Haemostasis‚ the physiological response to vascular injury‚ results in the formation of a haemostatic plug that prevents blood loss. Under normal conditions‚ factors that promote blood coagulation are balanced by those that inhibit it. Pathologic thrombosis occurs when procoagulant stimuli overwhelm natural anticoagulant and fibrinolytic systems. Venous thrombi‚ which form under low shear conditions‚ are predominantly composed of fibrin and red cells. Thrombi may develop
