Tachycardi A Case Study

PHYSICAL EXAM: Temperature 98.6, Blood pressure 140/90. Pulse 110. Respirations 26. Her lungs are clear, showing mild signs of distress. Heart sounds are normal, irregular rhythm and bradycardia noted. No edema noted in extremities. Patient skin is cool to touch, slightly clammy. EEG shows prolonged QRS wave, with ischemic ST changes and PVCs. Chest radiograph clear.

African American male that is seen today for followup post hospital discharge. He is a 48-year-old gentleman with complicated cardiac history as well as neurological history including congestive heart failure. History of strokes 01/2017, possible sick sinus syndrome. He has an implanted pacemaker that was placed in

A patient who becomes unresponsive may be experiencing arrhythmia. If a patient has fainted and there is no response immediately notify the physician also provide oxygen. loosen any tight clothing, cover the patient with a blanket for warmth. Once the emergency passes,obtain a set of vital signs and document all activities in the patient's medical

An old MI is evidenced by larger than normal Q waves. 2. What changes in “cardiac enzymes” would be consistent with a diagnosis of MI? TROPONINS – Markers of choice. Elevated between 4 and 6 hours after the onset of an acute MI and remains elevated for 8-12 days.

James’s Treatment Plan • Problems: Currently admitted for medical detoxification. Referral to a residential 90-day inpatient treatment facility. • Current symptoms or indicators: Recently admitted to emergency room with heart attack symptoms. Chest pain, inability to breathe and irregular heartbeat Client has admitted he is scared

Congestive Heart Failure Congestive Heart Failure is a condition in which the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the needs of the rest of the body (Department of Health & Human Services, 2012). The failure can occur in on either side of the heart. In left-side heart failure, fluid backs

On arrival at the ED, the physician auscultates muffled heart tones, no breath sounds on the right, and faint sounds on the left. A.W. is

“The patient is Adam Rudd, a 78 y/o white male with a history of hypertension. He has been diagnosed with hypertension past 15 years and is on anti-hypertensive medications and aspirin. He is very weak and short of breath. He is accompanied with his longtime friend Jennifer, who reports that Rudd was looking very weak and was complaining of severe headache and blurred vision before coming to the hospital. He is 5’9” and weighs 270 lb. Vital signs recorded were: oral temperature 98.20 F, BP 224/120 mm Hg with a heart rate of 102 beats/minute and respiration of 24 breaths per minute. The pulse oximetry reading was 94% on room air. He is complaining of severe headache and blurred vision. Rudd said that he did not take his antihypertensive medication or aspirin since he ran out of pills. He has not been taking his medication for past 15 days. He reports no known allergies to any medications or other substances.”

 Assessment: the patient 's vital signs are 108/68, 125 beats per minute, respirations, even and non-labored at 14 breaths per minute, 92% on 2 liters of oxygen via nasal cannula, afebrile 98.5 F.

5:13 p.m.: heart rhythm is normal sinus, B/P is 110/70, and pulse is palpable. Patient not breathing on his own and is fully dependent on the ventilator. Pupils are fixed and dilated. No spontaneous movements and not responding to noxious stimuli. Air transport is called. Patient is transferred to a tertiary facility for advanced care.

Description of the case: A 68 year old male presented to the emergency department at 0800 hours via ambulance after experiencing chest discomfort and intermittent palpitations since 0500 hours. Prior to presentation, the patient stated he

This work has been motivated by our wish to understand 336 and document dynamics that occur in the main hypothesized 337 anatomical substrates for some types of cardiac tachycardias 338 - the ring and isthmus geometries, Fig. 1. 339 In an annulus, there were relatively simple patterns of 340 excitation consisting of one or more waves traveling in a 341 clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Although patterns 342 with two or more circulating waves such as those shown in Figs. 2(a) (multimedia view) and 2(e) (multimedia view)

Ventricular Tachycardia An dysrhythmia of the heart is an irregular heartbeat rhythm. Ventricular tachycardia is an dysrhythmia in which the lower chambers of the heart, the ventricles, beat unusually fast. The heart rate is measured with an electrocardiogram, or ECG. This is a machine that measures the electrical impulses from

The heart is one of the most important organs in an organism’s body, no matter if they are aquatic, amphibian, or a mammal. This super organ works automatically, able to pump massive amounts of oxygen rich blood through the body by means of electrical impulses and the opening and closing of valves within its many layers. It is what keeps us and every other creature on this earth alive; so it is only natural for one to fear when there might be a problem with one’s heart. A cardiac arrhythmia can happen to anyone, no matter the age, race, or gender, and as such, doctors and scientist have spent years trying to better understand the heart and the way it functions so that they can try to prevent these problems and save millions of lives.
