the heart muscles and it is known to cause the heart to become enlarged‚ thick‚ or rigid. There are several types of this disease which are dilated cardiomyopathy‚ hypertrophic cardiomyopathy‚ restrictive cardiomyopathy‚ and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. All of these are known types of cardiomyopathy and within each type are subcategories of other different types of cardiomyopathy. These diseases all have different causes‚ but the signs and symptoms are very similar. Also the treatments

Complete a root cause analysis (RCA) that takes into consideration causative factors that led to the sentinel event (this patient’s outcome). “A central tenet of Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is to identify underlying problems that increase the likelihood of errors while avoiding the trap of focusing on mistakes by individuals” (AHRQ‚ 2012). The prevention of errors is the main emphasis of a RCA

heart muscle or myocardium‚ generally of unknown causes Endocarditis - an inflammation of the heart valves and the endocardium [Medicinenet (2009) p1] Heart failure can be classified as: Left-sided failure - is a result of ineffective left ventricular contractile function‚ which affects the hearts ability to pump blood forward from the left side of the heart.

During exercise your body must adapt to the added stress and pressure you are putting onto it. The heart plays a very important role in maintaining homeostasis during exercise. When exercising your heart rate increases and the “Left Heart” have to pump out more oxygenated blood to the entire body. The sympathetic nervous system also plays an important role during exercise. The sympathetic pathway comes out of the lower cervical and upper thoracic segments of the spinal cord. The sympathetic

A stroke occurs when the blood flow to a particular area of the brain is cut off‚ depriving the brain cells of oxygen and glucose. If the brain doesn’t receive oxygen for a period of time it can result it permanent brain damage or even death. There are two different specific types of strokes‚ an ischemic stroke and a hemorrhagic stroke. There is also a type of minor hemorrhagic stroke called a transient ischemic stroke. Specifically an Ischemic stroke is the most common‚ they are very similar to
