MVR Case Study

The use of beta-blockers to slow the heart rate may benefit patients who have episodes of tachycardia, or rapid heartbeats, with the mitral valve prolapse. Unless it has progressed to something severe, the patientwill probably not need treatment. If it has become severe, then the patient can benefit from surgery to repair or replace the leaky valve. Although it sounds scary, it is a condition that can be managed quite easily and the patient can live a normal lifestyle without any impairment or major adjustment to your activities.

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) was first characterized by Barlow and Bosman in the 1960s.(Barlow and Bosman) It was first called Barlow’s Syndrome before being called mitral valve prolapse by Criley (Barlow and Bosman),(Criley et al.). Barlow’s syndrome was diagnosed by electrocardiogram, phonocardiogram and chest X-ray.3 The mitral valve apparatus includes tow leaflets, chordae tendineae, anulus, left atrium, papillary muscles and left ventricular wall (Devereux et al.). Mitral valve prolapse involves the leaflets, chordae, annulus and left ventricular wall.(Devereux et al.) The anterior leaflet is relatively long and semi-circular, while the posterior leaflet is shorter in normal patients.(Irvine et al.) Most commonly the posterior leaflet is affected.(Devereux et al.) During systole the leaflet balloons in to the left ventricle.(Devereux et al.) Physically, in a patient with mitral valve prolapse, the leaflet is displaced beyond the mitral anulus.(Levine et al.)

Over the last few months, the Northern Ontario Party has been approached by desperate business owners looking for any kind of assistance with their outrageous hydro bills. One such business owner is Roslyn Taylor who operates Taylor’s sawmill on Manitoulin Island. Roslyn, recently posted on Facebook her hydro bill for the month of July. It was nearly $4000.00 and this was a month where her main saw was down and her company’s production was low. So, you would expect the company’s power bill to be reasonable. But here is what the Taylor’s hydro bill looked like

The mitral valve is located on the left side of the heart between the left atrium and left ventricle. The purpose of the mitral valve is to form a seal between these two chambers of the heart to prevent the back flow of blood. When blood enters the left side of the heart, it is oxygenated and enters through the pulmonary veins. The blood then travels through the left atrium; the bicuspid (mitral) valve then opens to let the blood flow down to the left ventricle. The left ventricle contracts, causing the mitral valve to close (preventing the backflow of blood).When the left ventricle contracts it is pumping the blood out to the remainder of the body. (Jenkins, 2007)

A,B,C) MSTT met with Drew before Esmrel came home from school to examine if he lacks follow through because of depression. Drew expressed he does suffer from depression sometimes but lately he has been feeling good about himself. MSTT had him explain the change and Drew stated felt depressed because he was not working and he could not help Sabrina out around the house. Drew explained things are changing because he just received a job working at McDonalds. He starts next week and he also have two other job offers.

A doctor may also suggest treatment later in a person’s life, if the disease worsens. If a cardiologist suggests medical treatment, two options include: Mitral Valve Repair or Mitral Valve Replacement. “If the patient chooses to have Mitral Valve Replacement, he or she should find a surgeon who satisfies three criteria; the surgeon should have a 90 percent or greater rate of successful repair, should have an extremely low rate of death from surgery (less than 1 percent) and should be proficient in operating with less invasive approaches, if your surgeon cannot provide these sorts of numbers, you need to move to another” (Gillinov 326). By reconnecting valve leaflets a surgeon can perform Mitral Valve Repair (mayoclinic.org). A surgeon can also remove excess tissue from the valve for a repair (mayoclinic.org). “The traditional approach to most aortic valve problems is to open the chest, remove the old valve, and sew in a new one” (Gillinov

A 32-year old nurse who has rheumatic fever as a child noticed a persistent tachycardia and light-headedness. Upon examination, chest x rays showed an enlarged left atrium and left ventricle. ECG analysis showed atrial fibrillation. There was also mild pulmonary congestion. Cardiac evaluation resulted in the following information:

diagnosed with an irregular sized heart and mitral valve prolapse, which would have to be monitored

Mr. Perez has some challenges to face as he rehabilitates from his amputation and hospital stay. Now that he is at a rehabilitation center he needs to learn how to do tasks on his own after his amputation so that he can go home and take care of himself and his family. Mr. Perez is at risk for situational self-esteem and impaired physical mobility because of disturbed body image and musculoskeletal impairment. He faces a lot of changes in his life that he will have to deal with in the future because of his accident and amputation. (Doenges, Moorhouse, & Murr, 2013).

Giuliano Zaccardelli, RCMP Commissioner apologized to Arar for telling incorrect facts to the House of Commons committee.

The interns, [Robert Chandler (Garth), Jose Morales (Tam)] and I created a presentation outlining recommendations with the Shared Services meeting procedure. This included how long the meeting last to possible break opportunities. Through observation, specifically with the Architecture, I noticed excellent facilitation techniques from Gary and the overall respectfulness of the team. Everyone was open to new ideas and passionate about their work and ultimately wanted the best delivery at hand as a team. The SharePoint sites collectively are easy to navigate. I could not provide necessary suggestions that I thought would be significantly helpful for improving the sites, however as I continue to navigate it-I am sure there is something that can

Cardiac: rRegular rate and rhythm, no murmurs, rubs, or gallops; no JVD, thrills, or heaves; PMI non-displaced at 5th intercostal space

Echocardiography is the initial diagnostic modality for a patient with suspected congenital heart disease. In some patients, however, use of this modality is encumbered by its limited ability to delineate great arteries and intra cardiac anomalies, pulmonary veins, and coronary arteries. (7)
