Angiography

TERMINOLOGY CLINICAL CLARIFICATION • The most common type of benign primary cardiac tumor, which can cause valvular or inflow-outflow tract obstruction and thromboembolism; symptoms appear when the tumor fragments and causes systemic emboli or when it interferes with cardiac valvular function and causes pulmonary congestion 1 • Most atrial myxomas arise from the atrial septum, but some originate in the posterior wall, anterior wall or the appendages 1 CLASSIFICATION • By location 3, 1, 2 ○ Left

serum albumin, coagulations profiles (Lewis, et al. 2015). 3. Imaging Studies: Multiple image technique, such as, computed tomography (CT) to scan on the brain is the first diagnostic test, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), is more sensitive than CT scan. Nuclear medicine scanning techniques and cerebral angiogram (Caplan L. 2009; National Medicines Information Centre. 2011 and National Clinical Guidelines for Stroke. 2012). 4.

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an invasive approach that improves clinical outcomes in clients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and in clients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTEACS) (Mehta et al., 2012). Periprocedural major bleeding is a strong autonomous predictor of early and late major adverse cardiovascular events and mortality (Bernat et al., 2014). In an investigation of more than three million PCIs from the U. S. national registry

The contrast media used to do a mapping of the liver arteries was omnipaque 350. The generic name of this product is Iohexol. This product contains iodine and belongs to a class of drugs known as contrast media or dyes. This contrast media is use before X-ray imaging test such as CT, fluoroscopy to mention some. It works by adding contrast to the body parts to be seen in the image by the radiologist. Furthermore, the nurse in combination with the radiologist use different kinds of medications

As with most trauma patients, this patient should be considered a to have a full stomach. Therefore, the prudent approach for the anesthetist would be to plan for a rapid sequence induction, using a short-acting muscle relaxant such as succinylcholine. The patient’s clinical picture indicates that there is still some occult bleeding and she remains hypotensive despite resuscitation. Therefore, versed, propofol, and large amounts of inhalational agent should be avoided. Small doses of versed can worsen

Is prasugrel as effective as clopidogrel for the patient with acute coronary syndrome? Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the most common form of cardiovascular disease.1 In 2006, about 733,000 ACS patients were discharged from hospitals costing the United States $150 billion annually.2 Eighty percent of these cases were either unstable angina (UA) or no ST- elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and the remaining 20% were ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The pathophysiology of ACS

Revolution in Coronary Artery Disease Management Coronary artery disease (CAD), the most common form of heart disease, is the leading cause of death in India. CAD is a condition in which plaque (unhealthy fat deposits) buildup causes narrowing or blockage of coronary blood vessels that supply blood to the heart muscles. This reduces the flow of blood to the heart. CAD may further lead to other forms of heart diseases like heart attack, heart failure, and arrhythmia. Depending on the severity of

“God’s delays are not denials”, I realized the true meaning of this when I opened my envelope to reveal my fate for the next five years. It read, “8th rank among ten thousand students who appeared in the medical entrance examination”, the remuneration of my two years of hard work and great deal of perseverance. As a diligent medical student, I extended my knowledge and curiosity from classroom to patient care. Being trained in a tertiary care charitable hospital, located at the city outskirts, I

Stroke: A stroke involves loss of brain functions caused by a loss of blood circulation to areas of the brain. Causes: Occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or severely reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and food. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die. In Ischemic cerebral blood flow is suddenly impaired by a thrombus or embolus. In Haemorrhagic the rupture of a cerebral blood vessel causes bleeding into the subarachnoid space or brain tissue. Types of stroke:

The Life Of A Radiology Technician Radiology Technicians are like heroes. Without x-rays they do many people’s sicknesses would go un-treated , as well as undetected. The job of a radiology tech is sometimes very stressful, but even though that it is stressful they know it’s worth the stress because they are saving other people’s lives. When being a radiology technician it can be very dangerous because of the administering radiation, but the benefits of being able to know that you helped
