Article #1 A study conducted by Capewell‚ Ford‚ Croft‚ Critchley‚ Greenlund‚ and Labarthe (2010) studied coronary heart disease risk factors trends and mortality in the United States. The purpose of this study was to look at cardiovascular risk factors in the United States since coronary heart disease is among the leading causes of death in the world. It is not only the leading cause of death‚ but coronary heart disease is also costing the United States a lot of money. Since much of the population

Complications differ in FOP patients depending on which part of the body is affected. FOP can affect all regions of the body which results in difficulty in breathing‚ eating‚ speaking‚ mobility‚ hearing and the developing of skin problems‚ kidney stones and pressure sores. Illnesses and injuries to the body of FOP patients may speed up the development of the disease. (b) Breathing As bones grow in the chest and replace the tissue over the ribcage‚ FOP patients develop breathing problems because

Arrhythmias Arrhythmias are any change from the normal sequence of the electrical impulses in the heart. An arrhythmia is when your heart cannot pump blood effectively. It may happen to fast‚ to slowly‚ or it may happen erratically. When arrhythmias occur; the lungs‚ brain‚ and other organs cannot work properly and they may shut down and be damaged. A normal heart beat is strong‚ muscular pump that is a little larger than a fist and pumps blood continuously through the circulatory system. Arrhythmias

Nephron Sparing Transcatheter Renal Artery Embolization in Trauma Patient Introduction: Acute renal hemorrhage is a common medical emergency‚ which can lead to hemorrhagic shock and eventual death. Complete nephrectomy is used in emergency surgery and is associated with significant postoperative complications. Employing nephron sparing super-selective Transcatheter renal artery embolization techniques can be used to treat acute renal bleeding disorders eliminating need for exploratory laparotomy

Abstract: Atherosclerosis is one of the important cardiovascular disease‚ which often leads to narrowed arteries that obstruct the flow of oxygenated blood which may limit the oxygen delivery to the heart muscle and can lead to a heart attack. The blood flow through these narrow arteries is often restored by inserting folding structures‚ named Stent. A Stent is small expandable mesh-tube like device that is used to treat narrow arteries and allow the passage of oxygenated blood to heart. The aim

22. Provide the CPT code(s) for the following scenario‚ left heart catheterization with coronary angiography and left ventriculogram. PROCEDURE: The right groin was prepped and draped in the usual fashion. Seldinger technique was used‚ and a 6-French sheath was placed in the right femoral artery. A local anesthetic was used and sublingual nitroglycerin was given; no heparin was used. The left and right coronary arteries were selectively opacified in the LAO and RAO projections using manual injections
