Cardiovascular System: Barney Clark Artificial Heart Transplant

There, I worked with a variety of surgical and medical cardiac patients, including pre- and post-operative open heart surgery, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, and myocardial infarctions. I was immediately fascinated with the various technical support options for the heart, such as left ventricular assist devices, and have continued to be amazed at the progress of these devices over the years. One of the biggest lessons I learned during my time at Hershey Medical Center was that educating and encouraging patients to command their illness is essential, because empowered patients better manage their disease and prevent progression. When I moved to California, I started as a travel nurse to learn more about the various hospitals in Los Angeles, and I completed assignments at Kaiser Downey and UCLA Santa Monica. Shortly after, I was hired at UCLA Ronald Reagan in the Cardiac Observation Unit.

The heart is what keeps the human body running. From the very first time someone presses their head up against their mothers chest or feels their own heart beat, they know that the pulse they feel means something important. It’s the rhythm that lets us keep on living. It’s strange to think that before I read this book, I barely knew anything about this absolutely vital organ in my body. Now, I probably know more history about the human heart than I ever thought I’d know. This book went totally in depth about the history of the human heart, and how modern medicine knows what it knows about this vital organ. It weaves history and information about the heart together in a way that keeps you interested until the last page, which is something I

Hi, my name is LeAna. I am a student at Midlands Technical College hoping to someday be a professional in the field of cardiovascular technology. Because of my interest in cardiac imaging, I have decided to do some research on the Society of Invasive Cardiovascular Professionals, SICP. This professional organization works provide professionals in the cardiovascular health care field with educational opportunities for invasive specialist, high quality care for patients, and support for invasive cardiovascular leaders. Someday in the near future, I will be one of the healthcare professionals in the cardiovascular field. In this essay, I will discuss SICP’s purpose, design, interactivity, and its influence.

Central Idea: Becoming an organ donor gives transplant recipients the gift of life and there are unnecessary barriers and misconceptions keeping people from becoming donors.

People, who receive artificial hearts, fall into two categories being “bridge” or “destination.” The “bridge” group, are those people who would most likely die waiting for a suitable donor heart. The “destination” group are those patients who’s body would not suit a donor heart transplant but would benefit in additional years lived from an artificial heart.

The medical industry had been achieving more in the stage of medical advancements, though they are still in the early phase. Artificial organs have been one of those achievements. Although they have achieved such, artificial organs are not perfect. Most doctors as well as patients would prefer to replace a dying organ with a compatible human organ, rather than with an artificial or animal organ. Yet due to a there being less organs donated than recipients, artificial and animal organs are becoming more common in transplants. Most of this issue is because people are unaware of how organ donation works, the organs that can be donated, how many people are in need, and the advancements that have happened in the field. Organ donation saves hundreds of lives every year, but many lives are recklessly lost due to a shortage of organ donors.

The students will apply their knowledge about the heart to a design—in which the heart will be modeled as a pump.

In February of last year my grandfather was having problems with his heart. He often complained about the feeling of pressure casting on to his chest so he went to the doctors in pursuit to figure out what is causing these menacing pains. To his discovery, the doctor examined his heart and explained to him that he would need to receive coronary artery bypass surgery. My family and I were scared of the risks involving the surgery but the doctor assured us that it is not as intricate as it sounds. So on February 23rd My grandfather went into have coronary artery bypass surgery and regrettably did not make it out alive. In tears my mother screamed at the surgeon who gave us this terrible news, demanding answers. The surgeon explained to us that

Two hours to transplant this heart, BP 140/90 mmHg, life or death and it is all in my hands. “Scalpel”. It takes many attributes to become and maintain the occupation of a cardiovascular surgeon. Such as the amount of schooling it will require, the amount of emotional stability it will take to pursue this career, lastly dealing with the loss of a patient. Cardiovascular surgery is a challenging but rewarding career to be interested in or be a part of. Amidst researching Cardiovascular surgeons and answering my questions, to soon realize the answers were met with more questions. I came across a book called Advice for a young surgeon by John C. Hall. Which offered great first-hand information on the daily life of a Surgeon and starting your career. Also numerous other interviews and articles. My aim by the end
