Cardiac arrest is another type of heart disease that may occur by a heart attack. It is the abrupt loss of heart function in a person who may or may not have diagnosed a heart disease. The time for it is unexpected and instantly occurs. The term heart attack is not the same as cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest is caused when the heart’s electrical system malfunctions. This results in when the heart suddenly stops working. Congestive heart failure is a fluid buildup in the lungs, live, gastrointestinal

Eduardo Cardenas Cardiac Dysrhythmias: Supraventricular Tachycardia N254: Medical Surgical Nursing II Mr. Decker Medical Careers Institute Date of Submission 1/7/2016  Cardiac Dysrhythmias: Supraventricular tachycardia Supraventricular tachycardia is increase in heart rate over 150 bpm due to do the over firing or redirected firing of the SA Node conduction above the ventricles. With supraventricular tachycardia the patient can have an abrupt onset and termination of rhythm, flattened or retrograde

Human Cardiac Fibroblasts (HCFs) are the most prevalent cell type in the heart, comprising 60-70% of all cells. They play a central role in the maintenance of the ECM in the normal heart and the synthesis of growth factors and cytokines. Under pathological conditions, cardiac fibroblasts are involved in scar formation following myocardial infarction, cardiac fibrosis, and cardiac hypertrophy. As mentioned previously, cardiac muscle includes involuntary striated muscle of the heart. Cardiomyocytes

Cardiac arrhythmia is defined as, “a condition in which the heart’s normal rhythm is disrupted” (Scholarpedia). A heart usually beats anywhere from 60 to 100 times a minute. If there is a palpation or a fluttering rarely, the person should usually be fine. If these occur more often or on a frequent manner, this cardiac arrhythmia could be very severe (Hopkinsmedicine). The hearts electrical system is what controls the speed and pace of the heartbeat (NHLBI,NIH). Sinoatrial node or SA node is

INTRODUCTION The cardiac muscle, more commonly known as the heart muscle, is quite different from the more familiar know skeletal muscle. Unlike skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle is able to conduct its own electrical impulses allowing it to contract and relax spontaneously without being told to by the brain or any other organ (Marieb, Mitchell, p. 512). This is due to the constant leakage of sodium ions into the mainly potassium filled cells which then eventually lead to action potentials causing

CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINES and STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR CARDIAC ARREST IN INPATIENT CARDIAC SURGERY PATIENTS POLICY and PROCEDURE FOR MANAGEMENT OF CARDIAC ARREST PATIENTS POST-CARDIAC SURGERY PURPOSE: To provide guidelines for staff caring for Inpatient Cardiac Surgery population requiring advanced life support during cardiac arrest events. SCOPE: All nursing personnel who have been oriented to and/or care for Cardiac Surgery population. All attending Cardiothoracic Surgery Physicians

Comparing and contrasting cardiac Muscle tissue (figure a) and brain tissue (figure d) Commonalities in the structures and functions of muscle tissue and brain tissue In cardiac muscle, a single nucleus is located in the middle of each fibre. The brain tissue also has a nucleus which is located in the middle of cell body. The cardiac muscle and brain tissue don’t have the exact same function. The cardiac muscle and the brain tissue don’t work together because the cardiac muscle doesn’t takes any

Cardiac Arrest and The Effects of Epinephrine in Pre-hospital Setting Sudden cardiac arrest is a condition in which the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating. When this occurs the blood flow stops to the brain and vital organs. Sudden cardiac arrest is not the same as a heart attack or myocardial infarction. A heart attack is when the blood flow to part of the heart is blocked. Without early intervention on average 360,000 people out of the hospital succumb to cardiac arrest. “ Cardiac arrest

“HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES OF THE TREATMENT OF CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA” INTRODUCTION: The contraction and relaxation of the heart is represented in the form of electrical signals in electrocardiogram. Normally the depolarisation of SA node present in the right atrium of the heart is helpful in determining the heart rate of a person. SA node i.e. the sino atrial node is called the natural pacemaker of the heart. The electrical signal produced by the SA node starts the first beat, it causes the atria to
