Angiography

A 23-year-old healthy Caucasian woman presented with a sharp pain in her right lower limb, enlarged circumference, reddening and increased temperature. She was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and treated with low-molecular-weight (LMW) heparin (enoxaparin 60mg twice daily) for 3 month. 8 years later, she was readmitted to the emergency room with persistent holocranial headache, more intense at the occipital region, refractory to analgesia and present for two days. Physical examination revealed

Thank you very much for your time to meet with you. I am sending this email to emphasis what we have already discussed during our meeting on Friday 01/12/2018. Nationally, training in interventional pediatric cardiology is non-ACGME accredited training and no board exam is required to pass at the end of the training. Therefore, I do not think your program needs to obtain special accreditation prior to accept training me. As such, good training is the only requisite to practice as congenital cardiac

TASK 1.1 IONISING RADIOTION Type of ionizing radiation Characteristics of each type of ionizing radiation Alpha particles (a) Alpha is strong ionising, and can be stopped by paper or skin tissue. They are positively charged and have 4 times the mass of a photon Beta particles (B) Beta is electrons and can be found in the nucleus of the atom, beta particles strongly ionize for instances one beta particles will cause 100 insertions. However, it is less damaging to humans Gamma rays (y) Gamma rays

Stable Angina What is stable angina? Stable angina is another term for chest pain that occurs with activity and improves with rest or a medication called nitroglycerine. This is an extremely common condition that typically affects older individuals with high blood pressure, diabetes, and elevated cholesterol. People with angina are at increased risk for cardiovascular conditions such as heart attack, peripheral vascular disease, and stroke. As opposed to stable angina, unstable angina is an emergency

Question 1: Hemodynamic changes resulting from trauma-associated bleeding Answer: Hemodynamics is an essential part of cardiovascular physiology dealing with the forces that govern the blood flow in various segments of the cardiovascular system (Wade, 2013). The pumping action of the heart makes pulsatile blood flow, which flows into the arteries, through the micro-circulation and finally, returns via the venous system to the heart. In the course of each heartbeat, systemic arterial blood force varies

Carotid artery dissection remains to be the least recognized entity among the variety of cardiovascular syndromes (Stapf, Elkind, & Mohr, 2000). Dissection of the carotid artery is caused by a tearing of the arterial wall layers, usually the intima from the media. The tear flaps freely in the arterial lumen creating a false lumen, where blood can enter and may form a thrombus (Kupinski, 2013). The weakening of the arterial wall caused by the separation of the layers may also result in a pseudoaneurysm

ASCITES Overview At the point when liquid develops inside the stomach area, it is known as Ascites Liquid fills the space between the covering of the midriff and the organs. Ascetic fluid can have many sources such as cancers, kidney failure, congestive heart failure, or liver disease. Causes The most common cause of ascites is an advanced liver disease. though the exact mechanism of ascites evaluation is not completely understood most theories suggest increased pressure in the liver blood flow

risk for adverse events. Patients at low risk can be adequately treated with medical therapy, in many ways similar to the one used for STEMI189-190. Those at moderate to high-risk benefit from an early invasive strategy, which includes coronary angiography, and if necessary, revascularization with

dreaded complications in cath-lab and its successful management Keywords: No-reflow, coronary angioplasty. Case Report: A 85 year old male patient, non-diabetic and non-hypertensive, was admitted with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction. Angiography showed osteal RCA 80 % lesion and mid RCA 90 % lesion (Figure 1). Patient underwent angioplasty to RCA with 2 stents from the ostia to the mid RCA covering both lesions. However, post-stenting patient had significant no

evidence of acute plaque rupture. - New ECG abnormalities (either ST segment elevation and/or T wave inversion) or modest elevation in cardiac troponin - Absence of pheochromocytoma or myocarditis Thus, a diagnosis of TCM generally requires coronary angiography, serial assessment of LV systolic dysfunction, an ECG and cardiac troponin level. Management with treatment: - Overall treatment is supportive and conservative. - Left ventricular function is treated with diuretics, beta blockers and ACEI as heart
