Catch 22 Joseph Heller satirizes‚ among other matters‚ red tape and bureaucracy in his first novel‚ Catch-22. The novel concerns itself with a World War II bombardier named Yossarian who suddenly realizes the danger of his position and tries various means to extricate himself from further missions. Yossarian is driven crazy by the Germans‚ who keep shooting at him when he drops bombs on them‚ and by his American superiors‚ who seem less concerned about winning the war than Catch 22: Satire on WWII

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

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

Central Idea: Bystander CPR and use of an AED‚ or automated external defibrillator‚ is the greatest predictor of survival for a person in cardiac arrest. The majority of the general public feel unprepared or unqualified to assist a person in cardiac arrest. Hands only CPR is a

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
