Cardiac Catheterization and Kidney Function In many hospitals‚ the use of cardiac catheterization is used to determine if a patient has occluded arteries or grafts. This procedure saves many lives every day and helps prevent myocardial infarctions in many cases. The procedure itself is rather simple and safe for the most part‚ but one thing that many fail to realize is how hard the procedure is on kidney function due to the dye used intra-procedure. According to the NIH‚ kidney damage caused by

CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION CPT PROCEDURE Joanne Johnson AHLT 255 – Advanced Coding Abstract Cardiac catheterization or Heart catheterization is a common diagnostic procedure for many heart-related problems. It examines blood flow to the heart and test how well the heart is pumping. It is the only test that is 100% accurate for diagnosis of possible blockages is a heart cath. Having a catheterization done can prevent heart attacks that cause muscle damage to the heart. Before the procedure you

Cardiac arrest is confirmed by absence of signs of circulation‚ loss of consciousness; respiratory arrest (may be in 30 seconds after cardiac arrest) and enlargement of pupils (may be in 90 seconds after cardiac arrest). Jacobs et al.‚ (2004) The temporal sequence of cardiac arrest can be explained by a 3-phased time sensitive model. These phases include electrical (lasting 0 to 4 minutes from time of cardiac arrest)‚ circulatory (lasting 4 to 10 minutes from time of cardiac arrest)‚ and metabolic

The Path of the Cardiac Pacemaker The cardiac pacemaker has been around for a very long time and will to continue to be around for even longer. The historical and future path of the pacemaker is endless with possibilities only limited by technology. Every day research labs try to find ways to make the life better for anyone that may need to have one implanted. Around 40% of all human deaths are attributed to cardiovascular diseases. Cardiac pacing has become a therapeutic tool used worldwide with

• Cardiac hypertrophy- This is when the heart increases in size and volume‚ the wall of the left ventricle will get thicker with the help of constant exercise‚ this leads to an increased force of contraction. This will allow the heart to pump out a larger amount of blood with each pump‚ therefore a more efficient heart as it will not have to beat as many times as an untrained heart. • Increase in stroke volume and cardiac output- Stroke volume is defined as the amount of blood the heart is able to

Introduction Cardiac contusion is an injury‚ or bruise‚ to the heart. This means that the chambers of the heart (atria and ventricles) are injured by a strong blow (trauma) to the chest area. Mild injuries to the heart may cause no symptoms. More serious trauma to the heart may cause pain and an irregular heartbeat. In rare cases‚ it can lead to shock and death. Depending on the trauma or accident‚ other body parts‚ such as the lungs and ribs‚ may also be injured. Prompt treatment is important to
