Heart

A heart transplant is surgery to remove a damaged or diseased heart and replace it with a healthy donor heart. Finding a donor heart can be difficult. The heart must be donated by someone who is brain-dead but is still on life support. The donor heart must be matched as closely as possible to your tissue type to reduce the chance that your body will reject it. You are put into a deep sleep with general anesthesia, and a cut is made through the breastbone Your blood flows through a heart-lung

Heart: Heart has 4 chambers, 2 atria and 2 ventricles. De-oxygenated blood comes back to the right side of the heart with the venous circulation, pumped into the right ventricle and then to the lungs, there, carbon dioxide is released and exchanged with oxygen. The oxygenated blood then travels back to the left side of the heart into the left atria, heading to left ventricle, aorta, and finally arterial circulation. Blood travels from right side to left side via the lungs only. The pressure created

contribute to having a heart attack. Doing intense physical activity will make the hormone adrenaline is released during intense physical activity. There is also very low blood levels of potassium or magnesium, major blood loss, and lack of oxygen. Also the tendency to have arrhythmias run in some families and is passed through genes. An example of this is long QT syndrome, which is a disorder of the heart’s electrical activity. The problems with tiny pores on the surface of heart muscle cells cause

United States, heart disease. I am choosing to do my project on heart disease for several reasons. First, heart disease is very common on my father 's side of the family. Both of my father 's parents have been diagnosed with heart disease and my father himself has been diagnosed with high blood pressure, which is a precursor to developing heart disease. Also, by doing my project on heart disease, I hop that I can learn some ways in which I can prevent myself from developing heart disease, since

Evidence-Based Project on the Pathophysiology of Heart Failure The purpose of this paper is to synthesize a comprehensive review of the evidence based relevant factors to the morbidity and mortality associated with increasing risk factors of heart failure-HF as well as the pathophysiology of the heart and diseases associated with physiological and social behavior risks in the process of cardiovascular disease- CVD’s, by discussing the implications of the age, gender, and progression of the disease

“The heart” The Heart is a very important organ in the body. It is what keeps your blood flowing and your organs going. It is a tireless muscle that pumps more than two thousand gallons of blood every day. The blood that is pumped is filled with nutrition and oxygen (Colombo 7). It travels through out your body in less than sixty seconds. So it needs to be taken extra good care of. When abuse is put on the body, the heart’s performance is not at its best. The Heart is a major organ that needs

patients may present to their clinician or the emergency department for treatment with heart failure. It is important to understand that there is more than one type of heart failure; primarily the focus is placed on diastolic heart failure and systolic heart failure. Depending upon the cause of heart failure and what areas are affected dictates the treatment plan needed. While there are similarities with both kinds of heart failure, there are also differences that can help the clinician distinguish the

The heart is the organ that pumps blood throughout the body and to your lungs. It supplies nutrients and oxygen to many tissues and removes the waste products and carbon dioxide. The heart has 4 chambers called the left and right atrium and the left and right ventricle. These are separated by valves that stop the backflow of the blood that may occur due to the pumping motion. The other two valves separate the entrances to the aorta and the pulmonary artery. The right side of your heart receives de-oxygenated

To Treat Heart Disease Naturally. Until recently, the mortality rate caused by cardiovascular disease is still extremely high. Heart disease becomes one of the most feared diseases, and avoided wherever possible. But in fact, heart disease can attack anyone, regardless of age and social status. The best way to avoid heart disease is by trying to prevent heart disease, especially knowing the characteristics of the onset of heart disease, so that it could soon do the handling of against heart disease

Heart Failure affects nearly 5.8 million people in the United States. The American Heart Association reports that the total economic cost of heart disease and stroke in 2011 was $320.1 billion. ("Efforts to Prevent Heart," 2015). More Medicare dollars are spent for the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure than for any other diagnosis (Schneider, O'Donnell, & Dean, 2011). Hospital admissions for heart failure are very common, especially among Medicare aged patients, and heart failure hospital
