CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM OF THE HEAD NECK The cardiovascular system consists of the heart‚ blood vessels‚ and the approximately 5 liters of blood that the blood vessels transport. Responsible for transporting oxygen‚ nutrients‚ hormones‚ and cellular waste products throughout the body‚ the cardiovascular system is powered by the body’s hardest-working organ — the heart‚ which is only about the size of a closed fist. Even at rest‚ the average heart easily pumps over 5 liters of blood throughout

individuals with Marfan syndrome maybe at risk of retinal detachment and are predisposed for early cataracts or glaucoma. (Judge& Dietz‚ 2005). According to Otto (2013) typical clinical manifestations in the cardiovascular system include dilation‚ aneurysm formation and rupture of the peripheral arteries‚ multivalvular prolapse (especially mitral valve prolapse)‚ and

PAD develops in your extremities‚ more commonly your legs‚ which can make walking become painful‚ also known as claudication. 2.) Aortic valve stenosis (AVS) is when the aortic valve‚ which is between the aorta and left ventricle of the heart‚ becomes narrow. This narrowing makes it more difficult for blood to flow through the valve and can cause a lot of strain on the heart. The left ventricle can become

However‚ we also identified various artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. How can a decision support system incorporate and use AI technologies such as pattern recognition? - Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and techniques can aid in the diagnosis of disease states and assessment of treatment outcomes‚ so AI can be used by a decision support system

when this happens it is called a spontaneous mutation. Features of the disorder are not always present right away. Marfan features at birth or as young children can include serious conditions like aortic enlargement. Others have fewer features when they are young and don’t develop aortic enlargement or other signs of Marfan syndrome until they are adults. Some features of Marfan syndrome‚ like those affecting the heart and blood vessels‚ bones or joints‚ can get worse over time. The
