Summary: AED Defibrillators: Having access to an AED is essential for resuscitating those who have suffered from SCA (sudden cardiac arrest). Because the incidences of SCA are increased during and after strenuous physical activity‚ every school should have AED(s) that can be accessed very quickly. Sudden Cardiac Arrest: Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in young athletes. NATA convened an inter-association task force in Atlanta in 2006 to create guidelines on emergency management

Comparing the Cardiac muscle and the Skeletal muscle Differences Similarities Skeletal muscle is usually linked to bones by structures called tendons. Cardiac muscle is found in the heart. They are both important parts to the body. Skeletal muscle cells are usually arranged into cylindrical fibres with multiple nuclei and can be directly controlled by voluntary nerve signals from the nervous system. Cardiac muscle cells are normally shorter and are linked via gap junctions which allow compounds

Muscles are all made of the same materials‚ a type of flexile tissue of thousands narrow tissues that make up all the muscles. There are three types of muscle tissue in the human body which are Cardiac‚ Smooth and Skeletal Muscles. Cardiac Muscles are muscles that conduct‚ forced‚ being completely in heart‚ responsible for pumping activity of heart‚ very heavy and solid. Smooth are non band‚ not under voluntary force found in comfortable organs of body accountable for growth like absorption of food

Most of the cardiac injury ultimately results in development of cardiac fibrosis due to negligible regenerative capacity of heart. Cardiac fibrosis is associated with increased deposition of matrix proteins in the myocardium. The expansion of the cardiac interstitial space in absence of significant cardiomyocyte loss is “reactive interstitial fibrosis” and the formation of scar in response to myocardial infarction is called “reparative fibrosis” [10‚ 46]. Increased deposition of endomysial and perimysial
