Respiratory Syndrome : Symptoms And Symptoms

5. What is the prevalence and prognosis of this condition? Is it an inheritable (genetic) condition/disease? (1 point)

Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a disease that mainly affects the apex of the heart and does not cause any obstruction. [1] These abnormalities in the heart muscle can cause a wide variety of symptoms. As the heart becomes stiff it increases the pressure in the left ventricle which can push blood back into the lungs, causing shortness of breath in exercise. Chest pain can occur as there is not enough oxygen available to the cardiac muscle due to insufficient blood supply. Palpitations and lightheadedness, along with other conditions can occur as a result of HCM. In addition to these discomforting symptoms, the patient may develop an arrhythmias that often goes unnoticed. An arrhythmia takes place as the electrical conduction of the heart is disturbed by the abnormal scattering of myocytes. The two most common arrhythmias are atrial fibrillation causing palpitations, and ventricular tachycardia that can be life threatening causing sudden death. Both conditions can be controlled with medication. [4]

This Disorder can occur at any age and affects approximately eight percent of the adult population.

Many people take breathing for granted, some never give it a second thought until a problem presents itself. Respiratory diseases affect millions of Americans as well as people from all over the world. Anyone can suffer from these disorders to include men, women, and children, with conditions ranging from mild, moderate, to chronic in nature. This paper will focus on one of the many respiratory disease called mycobacterium tuberculosis; more commonly referred to as TB.

     Recent studies show that this syndrome may be associated with changing craniofacial and skeletal muscle metabolism, such as blood flow, which causes the chronic fatigue and severe weakness. Another hypothesis is that an infectious trauma to the body, such as a virus, triggers the illness. However, with this syndrome being new, no specific virus has been identified. There is though a plot study that shows that there is possible inherited tendency toward the disease. This disease/syndrome has increased

SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) is responsible for the first pandemic of the 21st century. On November 2, 2002 SARS-CoV first emerged in Southern China. This unidentified agent had caused around 300 cases of pneumonia in people. The World Health Organization issued a global alert on March 12, 2003 regarding these and similar cases in Hong Kong and Vietnam. This clinical syndrome subsequently became known as SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome). Since then, 8098 people in 26 countries have had probable SARS diagnosed, 774 of whom have died, yielding a global case-fatality rate of 10%.[1] In July 2003, the SARS –CoV infection had ended. This left an adverse economic impact in the affected areas and posed an enormous public health

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (Broken heart syndrome, Stress cardiomyopathy) is a cardiac condition which usually is described by transient left ventricular dysfunction in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease where the heart will take the shape of a Japanese Octopus fish trap called Tako-tsubo. Wall motion abnormality of the left ventricle apex is generally transient and resolves within a few days to several weeks. It is often triggered by physical or emotional stressors inclusive of sudden death of a loved person, acute medical illness, perioperative risk while undergoing noncardiac surgery.
