The disease I am doing my paper on Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome‚ otherwise known as P.O.T.S. This disease causes the person who has it to have an increased heart rate whenever they are standing up. Also they get light headed and have horrible headaches. I chose this disease because I just found out that I have it this year and I do not know much about it so I wanted to do this paper on it so I could learn new

Good morning! Today I’m going to talk about artificial heart as one of the most significant invention in the history of humanity. An artificial heart is a device that replaces the heart. Artificial hearts are typically used to bridge the time to heart transplantation‚ or to permanently replace the heart in case heart transplantation is impossible. Since the late nineteenth century‚ scientists have tried to develop a mechanical device that could restore oxygen to the blood and remove

ventricles and ventricular systole begins (Saladin‚ 2012). Depolarization of the ventricles can be seen as the QRS complex on an ECG (Figure 1). The pressure in the ventricles increases during ventricular systole causing the blood to push back on the AV valves which causes them to close; this prevents backflow of blood into the atria. When the AV valves close this is when the first heart sound “lubb” can be heard (Saladin‚ 2012). The increase in ventricular pressure

how the heart functions in the first place before going in depth into the various problems that might arise within the cardiac cycle. Of which a large number are covered under the various Arrhythmias‚ which can be divided into two major groups‚ ventricular arrythythmias and supraventricular arrythythmias. I.e.‚ arrythythmias that occur in the ventricles and arrythythmias that occur above them. Subdivision is possible‚ with arrhythmias further divided into Disorders of impulse conduction and disorders

blood from left atrium to left ventricle is restricted and left atrial pressure rises‚ pulmonary venous congestion Poor lung compliance and breathlessness. There is dilatation and hypertrophy of the left atrium‚ left ventricular filling becomes more dependent on left atrial contraction.

The nurse interprets that this result indicates a: Options: 1 . Normal level 2 . Low value that indicates possible gastritis 3 . Level that indicates a myocardial infarction 4 .
