Introduction An electrocardiogram‚ or ECG‚ is a graphical recording of the electrical events occurring within the heart. Because an ECG is a recording of the heart ’s electrical events‚ it is valuable in diagnosing diseases or ailments that damage the conductive abilities of the heart muscle. When cardiac muscle cells are damaged or destroyed‚ they are no longer able to conduct the electrical impulses that flow through them. This causes the electrical signal to terminate at the damaged tissue

Aortic Valve Stenosis Aortic Valve Stenosis is the narrowing or obstruction of the heart ’s aortic valve. The aorta is a large artery that originates in the left ventricle (lower chamber) of the heart. The narrowing and obstruction of the aortic valve prevents it from opening properly and blocks the flow of blood from the left ventricle to the aorta and onward towards the rest of the body. Aortic valve stenosis occurs in approximately 5 out of every 10‚000 people.1 It occurs more commonly

Abstract The presence of a dive response in humans when the face is submerged in water was studied. A lot of mammals have shown to exhibit a dive response known as the mammalian dive reflex. During this reflex bradycardia‚ a slowing of the heart rate‚ is shown. In this study‚ human subjects were put through various tests to determine if humans also exhibit bradycardia. Subject’s heart rates were measured while breathing normally‚ while holding breath and while holding breath with face submerged
