Cardiomyopathy

I am 16 years old. My dog is a mix of Husky and Saint Bernard. My favorite flavor of cake is chocolate. I manage the wrestling team, and have since 6th grade. I own a Toyota T100. I have a 2 year old niece. I like roses. I want to go to college for business so I can own my own bakery. I have two brothers. My house looks like a log cabin on the outside, but it’s just a regular house on the inside. Though mint chocolate chip is my favorite flavor of ice cream, I love changing it up and getting different

presence of atrial fibrillation would suggest that the disruption in electrical activity is occurring in the left atrium rather than the sinus node. If the heart rate has been elevated for a prolonged period it could lead to tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) which can lead to HF (Patel & Whittaker, 2007). The increase in resting bpm is a compensatory mechanism used to maintain cardiac output when there is a loss in pumping capacity (Watson, Gibbs, & Lip, 2000). The potential diagnosis of heart

For most teenagers a normal day with their parents would include an activity like shopping or fishing. For me a normal day with my dad would last an hour at the most because of his cardiomyopathy. Cardiomyopathy is a heart disease which causes swelling, fatigue, and abnormal heart rhythm. In order to try and reduce the symptoms my father has had multiple surgeries. A good chunk of my life outside of school was being with my dad and helping him while he was recovering from the surgeries. I knew my

recognize and better understand another form of heart attack. This unusual type of heart attack is not associated with rupture of plaques or blocked blood vessels. It is called taxonomic cardiomyopathy or cardiomyopathy of stress. Stress cardiomyopathy, also called "broken heart syndrome", takotsubo cardiomyopathy and apical air syndrome, is a condition in which intense emotional or physical stress can cause rapid and severe cardiac muscle weakness. Research has proved that stress

induce similar symptoms (32, 33), and recently, a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy with cisplatin and doxorubicin showed a DCM phenotype and the concomitant presence of serum autoantibodies against M2AChR (6). It is well established that cardiomyopathy can be recapitulated by experimental immunization with cardiac myosin plus an adjuvant or with the administration of antibodies against troponin I and the β1-adrenergic receptor (33, 28, 34, 35). Similarly, we provide evidence that autoimmunity

Case Study 2: Cardiomyopathy and Congestive Heart Failure Our patient Mr. P has been hospitalized for cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure (CHF) symptoms. This paper will discuss the approach to care for the patient. In addition, it will recommend a treatment plan. Lastly, it will offer education and a teaching plan for both the patient and his wife to help cope with his condition. Approach to Care Patients with cardiomyopathy and CHF are at risk for other related problems, including pulmonary

Heart(cardiovascular) disease involves many statuses where the normal function is disrupted by the condition of the heart or blood vessels. It will slow down the delivery of oxygenated blood into the body. There are several requirements for the heart to have a normal function. There needs to be adaptable coronary circulation because the vessels that supply the oxygen and nutrients to the heart must be functional, capable and meet increased demands when needed. It must provide a flexible response

The most memorable experience I had in healthcare is when I resuscitated a man with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The man checked in with shakiness and a fever for multiple days. He went into the bathroom, but he never came back out. I was the first respondent, and I immediately began CPR. This man was revived, and I was able to provide him with an opportunity for his family to see him one last time. This experience was substantial because I was able to rise to the challenge in an emergency, and I

diseases, which can lead to develop the case.[3] Most of the cardiovascular diseases share the same symptoms.[3] This essay will discuss the main characteristic of cardiomyopathy and its different types.

ischemia also is known as ischemic cardiomyopathy. This essay will cover, the causes, risk factors, and lifestyle changes in ischemic cardiomyopathy. There are two types of causes for ischemic cardiomyopathy. The first type is an unknown cause while the other type is known. The first familiar cause for ischemic cardiomyopathy is coronary artery
