Cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack‚ chest pain (angina) or stroke. Other heart conditions‚ such as those that affect your heart ’s muscle‚ valves or rhythm‚ also are considered forms of heart disease. Many forms of heart disease can be prevented or treated with healthy lifestyle

Cardiovascular Disease Ashley Cookie Cardiac Arrest Mr. Stapleton November 20th‚ 2012 Would you like to feel or be close to death? How would you like to have your heart pump rapidly out of control? A cardiac Arrest is the absence of ventricular contraction that results in systemic circulatory failure. A Cardiac Arrest is something that can happen out of nowhere without you knowing. You can be cooking and you just collapse and go into Cardiac Arrest. It’s that easy!

Introduction: The cardiovascular system has multiple components that work to ensure an enough oxygen is supplied to the muscles‚ both at rest and during exercise. The objective of this laboratory session was to measure‚ and compare how the cardiovascular system responds to dynamic and isometric exercise. The research question for this lab was “What is the effect of different exercise modalities on the cardiovascular system?”. In response to this research question‚ the following hypothesis was formed

Differences in Cardiovascular Fitness that Effect Nonsmokers and Smokers Kayla Forbes 2-15-12 Bio Lab 140/77 Hilde Stawski Abstract: The goal of this experiment was to find out how smoking affected nonsmokers‚ light smokers‚ and heavy smokers heart rate during cardiovascular endurance. The participants will record their pulse rate before and after every minute for six minutes after the step test. As predicted‚ the heavy smokers had an increase in pulse rate that was twice as high as the

* GROUP 2: Elrey Joseph Calitis Mae Anjneth Cuaton How Atrial Tachycardia happens? Electrical signals in the heart’s upper chambers fire abnormally‚ which interferes with electrical signals coming from the sinoatrial (SA) node --- the heart’s natural pacemaker. A series of early beats in the atria speeds up the heart rate. The rapid heartbeat does not allow enough time for the heart to fill before it contracts so blood flow to the rest of the body is compromised. Video Presentation
