Cardiac Cycle The cardiac cycle describes the coordinated and rhythmic series of muscular contractions associated with the normal heart beat. The cardiac cycle can be subdivided into two major phases‚ the systolic phase and the diastolic phase. Systole occurs when the ventricles of the heart contract. Accordingly‚ systole results in the highest pressures within the systemic and pulmonary circulatory systems. Diastole is the period between ventricular contractions when the right and left ventricles

Conduction Through A Thick-Walled Tube This problem is important in the process industries‚ but we do need to make the distinction between thick and thin walled pipes. In general thin walled pipes can be considered by the previous analysis – but assuming that the pipe wall is effectively unwrapped so that it looks like a flat plate‚ with the process fluid on one side and the ambient condition on the other. The situation for thick pipes is‚ however‚ more complex. [pic] The figure shown above

sufficient background and information about cardiac pacemakers to allow interpretation of electrocardiograms (ECGs) and telemetry strips of normal pacemaker behavior. For more in-depth information‚ such as would be necessary for programming pacemakers‚ a standard pacing text should be consulted. Several of these are listed in the bibliography. Most italicized terms are defined in the glossary at the end of the chapter. Anatomy The pertinent anatomy for cardiac pacing includes the sinoatrial (SA) node
Premium Heart Cardiology Blood
Cardiac catheterization is often referred to as coronary angiography or a coronary angiogram. It is a radiographic procedure that is used to look at and visualize the heart and the coronary arteries. During a cardiac catheterization it is possible for the cardiologist performing the procedure to see how effectively blood is flowing through the coronary arteries. In addition‚ this procedure allows the cardiologists to see how blood is moving through the chambers of the heart and how effective the

and this cause a rapid conduction and its providing a very strong contraction to the ventricular muscle. The intercalated discs are a network that allows the rapid transmission of the electrical impulses and this allows the action potentials to travel to one cardiac muscle cells to the next. Sympathetic Nervous System carry the nerve impulses from the brain (medulla oblongata) to the heart and it releases hormones (that increases the heart rate). Parasympathetic Nervous System also releases hormones

Sudden cardiac death happens more these days. There are so many people alone in the United States who just stops breathing with no heart disease involved. So why did their heart stop? There are so many researchers out there trying to figure out the underlying cause of these people who this happen to. There can be other reason why a person’s heart can stop without having a cardiac disease. A person’s body may store minerals that control the arrhythmia of the heart to act a different way.

Of which a large number are covered under the various Arrhythmias‚ which can be divided into two major groups‚ ventricular arrythythmias and supraventricular arrythythmias. I.e.‚ arrythythmias that occur in the ventricles and arrythythmias that occur above them.

Central Idea: Bystander CPR and use of an AED‚ or automated external defibrillator‚ is the greatest predictor of survival for a person in cardiac arrest. The majority of the general public feel unprepared or unqualified to assist a person in cardiac arrest. Hands only CPR is a
