Writing III – Acid-Base Balance Congestive heart failure (CHF) is caused by the inability of the heart to fill correctly‚ eject blood completely‚ or a combination of the two‚ which results in a decrease in cardiac output. Chronic hypertension (CH) is a constantly elevated blood pressure. Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) causes a restriction in blood circulation due to atherosclerosis‚ fatty deposits on the inner linings of the arteries that cause a blockage of blood flow; arteriosclerosis‚ loss

Congestive heart failure‚ affecting about 5 million Americans‚ is the leading cause of death among Americans‚ accounting nearly 700‚000 deaths. It is twice as many as stroke and seven times as many as breast cancer [Herold‚ 2001]. Sudden cardiac failure‚ a form of congestive heart failure in which the heart fails without advanced warning‚ causes about half of the total deaths. For the remaining half‚ congestive heart failure doesn’t mean that the heart completely stops working; it means that the

Diagnosis: The patient seems to be suffering from Dilated Congestive Cardiomyopathy (DCM)‚ or in simple terms‚ congestive heart failure; specifically ventricular failure. Justification for Diagnosis: The patient said he had been suffering of acute dyspnea which would be caused by the lungs filling with fluid since the heart isn’t able to pump properly. Due to the patients hip replacement it is possible for him to have an infective agent even though he was said to not have one. Sometimes the disorder

prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF)‚ the standards of care for treatment of AF‚ and the role in primary care setting and the best practices for treatment. Prevalence and Screening In work by Raizada‚ Gonzalo‚ and Stanton (2015)‚ AF is the "most common arrhythmia" and the "lifetime risk over forty is one in four" (p. 209). This finding was enlightening. We should be considering this presence of AF with and without symptoms. Moreover‚ a few of risk factors include "obesity and hypertension" (Raizada

Coronary Artery disease‚ Hypertension‚ Substance abuse‚ Dysrhythmias‚ Diabetes mellitus‚ Smoking/tobacco use‚ Obesity 2. Explain the cause of the compensations for chronic heart failure. Insufficient cardiac output causes compensatory mechanisms work to improve cardiac output. They include‚ sympathetic nervous system stimulation‚ Renin=angiotensin

In congestive heart failure‚ the heart is not able to pump enough oxygen and nutrition to meet the requirements of the body and it may be chronic or acute. Heart failure is caused by many disorders that injure the heart muscles including‚ heart attack‚ cardiomyopathy‚ coronary artery disease‚ and conditions that overwork the heart‚ such as high blood pressure‚ diabetes‚ thyroid problems and kidney problems. At the point when a heart starts to fail‚ it causes additional liquid to develop in the body

Treatment of Chronic Heart Failure In 1988 Sir James Whyte Black was honored with a Nobel Prize for medicine for his efforts in the discovery of the beta blocker propanolol and the histamine receptor agonist cimetidine. Beta blockers were originally developed to treat angina pectoris but were discovered to also treat hypertension‚ tachycardia‚ an myocardial infarctions. The discovery of propanolol was said to be the greatest discovery since digitalis. The mechanism of beta blockers treating CHF is not
