Kelly liu Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/Cardiomyopathy Blood is pumped to the lungs and the rest of the body due to coordinated muscular contractions in the heart. Different cardiovascular diseases can unfortunately affect the heart muscle and cause it to become weak‚ which decreases its ability to pump blood efficiently. Any type of cardiovascular disease‚ such as Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia/ Cardiomyopathy‚ which weakens the heart muscle is categorized as cardiomyopathy

Cardiac Rehabilitation Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised program to help heart patients recover quickly and improve their overall physical‚ mental and social functioning. The goal is to stabilize‚ slow or even reverse the progression of cardiovascular disease‚ thereby reducing the risk of heart disease‚ another cardiac event or death. Cardiac rehabilitation programs include: Counseling so the patient can understand and manage the disease process Beginning an exercise program

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

Describe the Cardiac Cycle The Cardiac cycle is a description of the activities that take place in the period from the start of one heart the next. The conducting system autonomically controls the heart beat impulses it is also called the cardiac conduction system or the nodal system. It is made up of six main components the sinoatrial node (SA-Node)‚ internodal paths‚ atrioventricular node (AV-Node)‚ atrioventricular bundle (AV bundle) or bundle of His‚ bundle branches and Purkinje fibres.

Reflective Practice on Responsibilities of A Nurse in managing Cardiac Arrest Leena Justus Introduction Nursing is a profession where we have to work collaboratively with both our colleagues and the interdisciplinary team. In emergency like cardiac arrest‚ if nurses work as a team without any role confusion‚ time is saved resulting in saving many precious lives. Background It was the time when I started to work in a medical ward for the first time after my graduation

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
