The day that my Grandpa passed away started out like any other day. My mom and I went to visit him daily, just because we wanted to spend time with him. It was August 11th so, summer was coming to an end. My mom, Grandma and I were sitting and waiting for him, in his hospital room, to get back from the tests that he had that day. Everything seemed fine. He looked great. My mom and I were only able to talk to him for a few minutes, sadly, before they had to take him away again for more tests. We said our good-byes, not knowing that they would be our last, and we left. When we were at the stop light at 75th and Washington, we got a call.
One night in January, I couldn't sleep and it was 4am and then out of the blue I got a call from my sister..

Cardiovascular System - Heart Attack From Case Studies for Understanding the Human Body S. Braude, D. Goran, and S. Maxfield Uncle Jake and Aunt Leah were playing golf last week.

My grandpa died of Cardiac Arrest, where a sudden stop of blood flow fails due to the heart. At that time that I received the news from my family in Guatemala, I didn’t know how to react. Whether I should be sad and cry or stay quiet and give my condolences. All I knew is that it really hurt my family and they wanted to be with him. My grandma thought of something, booking a flight to Guatemala as soon as possible for his funeral. She decided to take me, my aunt and cousin. They were the only ones who really wanted to go in my family living in Los Angeles.

Losing Relatives from Brain Aneurysm Chikondi Nkhoma Brown Mackie College – Louisville Losing Relatives from Brain Aneurysm Have you ever lost someone you have just danced with? I have.

First Report of Congenital Right Ventricular Aneurysm with Transmural Late Gadolinium Enhancement Clinical Presentation A 42-year-old woman in her third trimester of an otherwise uncomplicated pregnancy was referred with suspected fetal right ventricular (RV) structural abnormality.

Infant was born at 40 weeks gestation (birth weight 3.7 kg) and was asymptomatic with a normal electrocardiogram. Echocardiography demonstrated a poorly contracting, thin walled aneurysm of the basal, anterior RV free wall with qualitatively moderately depressed global RV dysfunction. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) examination was requested to better characterize the lesion and quantify ventricular size and function.
