In the story The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe, The author puts a lot of emphasis on the heart. But what can we infer about the heart? In the story Poe’s character claims to the audience that he was very nervous about the situation but was not insane. He claimed to have a ‘disease’ that made his hearing extra sensitive.  Every night the narrator suspiciously stalks this old man who has this mysterious blue eye with a film over it. The narrator soon feels entrapped by this eye and decides to kill the old man to be set free.

Bibbins-Domingo et al. (2009) conducted an empirical examination into rates of heart failure among young adults. The article outlines the unfortunate fact that there is little empirical knowledge regarding the rates of heart failure within the young adult populations. This knowledge is even worse when it comes to examining minority populations, especially within the African American community that is increasingly vulnerable to heart conditions. With heart failure and other cardio conditions being such a prevalent problem in the United States, it is imperative that current discourse understand it much more than we do now. Thus, the purpose of this study was to better document and analyzes the incidences of heart failure in young adults, as to better describe any patterns or correlations within the group that would help provide better information. The overall hypothesis of the study was that African American populations were more likely to be vulnerable at this younger stage than their white counterparts. To meet this purpose, the study implemented an empirical study that examined heart failures of 5115 African American and white young adults, ages 18-30, over a period of 20 years. Results clearly showed that African American youth were at a much higher rate of early heart failure, as the study showed that out of the participants 27 had heart failure and 26 of those individuals were African American. This lead the study to

"A Simple Heart" had been written in 1887. Except for the environment, the objectification of women, relegated to a mere source of males' satisfaction, as depicted in these verses, is still a plague. Yes, a plague. We are beaten, humiliated, brutalized daily, in every part of the planet.. I can quote personal experience, but I am not going to bother you. I would like to know why a woman free of express herself is not considered a "wedding commodity"? Hypocrites! Scraping the bottom of the barrel is a typical male

It is in your chest and is protected by the rib cage.

This essay will explain and describe the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system span from birth to later adulthood. Whilst also looking at specific conditions and disorders that can present across the lifespan of an individual the discussion examines these disorders and conditions, Examples of this include things such as coronary heart disease or Angina. The essay will explore the medications used to treat the conditions and disorders investigated within this essay, whilst looking at the effects of the medication. The physiological impacts of these changes on the individual’s cardiovascular system are explored with reference to relevant research. The investigation will at how conditions relate to the cardiovascular system across the lifespan of individuals will also focus on individual’s with learning disabilities such as Down’s syndrome because

Has a vulture eye cause mental disorder on someone? First off, The tell-tale heart by Edgar Allen Poe explains about a murder an unmade narrator committed and convince all readers about his sanity.

By simply answering these question, how is the story relevant in historical, social,

During inspection of the heart assessment observe abnormal finding. Inspect the jugular vein and the carotid artery. Note pallor or cyanotic skin color, temperature, turgor, texture, and clubbing of finger. Observe for swelling, edema and ulceration. Clubbing is a sign of chronic hypoxia caused by a lengthy cardiovascular or respiratory. Poor cardiac output and tissue perfusion is noted by cyanosis and pallor. For dark-skinned, inspect his mucous membranes for pallor. Decreases or absent of pulse with cool, pale, and shiny skin, and hair loss to the area, and the patient may have pain in the legs and feet may indicate arterial insufficiency. Ulcerations typically occur in the area around the toes, and the foot usually turns deep red when dependent

Heart Failure is a progressive heart disease when the muscle of the heart is weakened so that it cannot pump blood as it should; the blood backs up into the blood vessels around the lungs and the other parts of the body (NHS Choice, 2015). In heart failure, the heart is not able to maintain a normal range cardiac output to meet the metabolic needs of the body (Kemp and Conte, 2012). Heart failure is a major worldwide public health problem, it is the end stage of heart disease and it could lead to high mortality. At present, heart failure is usually associated with old age, given the dramatic increase in the population of older people (ACCF/AHA, 2013). In the USA, there are about 5.7 million adults who have heart failure, about half of the people die within 5 years of diagnosis, and it costs the nation an estimated $30.7 billion each year (ACCF/AHA, 2013).

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the most common cause of mortality worldwide, especially in developed countries. But they are also largely preventable, and many studies have tried to clarify the related risk factors, and what could be done to avoid them.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze if there is any improvement, post-operative complications, mortality and related factors of elderly undergoing cardiac surgery. The debate whether or not we are pushing the limits is still questionable because of the complications associated with these invasive surgeries and whether or not if it’s a money game. The growing numbers of the elderly patients enjoy a prescription drug benefit, access to artificial knee and hip surgery, and life-saving cardiovascular interventions that were undreamed of a half-century ago.

The worst potential outcome of congestive heart failure is death. Approximately 5.7 million adults in the United States are diagnosed with heart failure. In addition, half of the people who are diagnosed with heart failure, die within five years of diagnosis (Heart failure fact sheet, 2016). Individuals that are 65 years old or older are more likely to develop heart failure than those of younger age. The chances of developing heart failure increase along with age. However, all age groups are susceptible to congestive heart failure (Heart Failure,

Crimmins and colleges in their study results noted, on average, the onset for heart disease in men is around 50 to 70 years of age and 73 years of age for women (Crimmins et al., 2008). There is also marked evidence that many women’s symptoms go
