Right ventricle

The Cardiovascular System Each carotid artery was palpated one at the time and rated 2+ equal bilaterally with smooth contour. There was no presence of JVD. Auscultation at angle of jaw, midcervical area, and base of the neck, no presence of bruits. Precordium, no heaves visible. Heart auscultated with a diaphragm of the stethoscope. Regular rhythmic S2 and S1 sound heard at aortic, pulmonic, erb’s point, and tricuspid, no presence of murmur or splitting. Apical pulse listened for one full minute

commensurate with the requirements of the metabolizing tissues or is able to do so only with an elevated diastolic filling pressure (Dumitru, I. 2015). Congestive heart failure (CHF), the blockage of the left coronary artery lead to excessive damage to the ventricle and subsequent altered blood pumping. In this paper, the author will discuss the approach of care, treatment plan, teaching in CHF and suggest a teaching plan content for a patient with CHF. Approach to care The approach to care include; Stabilizing

DIASTLOIC HEART FAILURE Introduction: Heart failure can also occur as a result of myocardial infraction that leaves the ventricles unable to function properly. Diastolic heart is mainly common in elderly people with age of 65 or older. There are two types of heart failure: systolic heart failure and diastolic heart failure. In systolic heart failure, left ventricle have difficulty contracting and ejecting blood into the circulation, which causes reduced left ventricular fraction. On the other hand

muscle (septum) that separates the 2 bottom pumping cambers (ventricles) of the heart. The massive hole in the abnormality itself is a VSD. A VSD is known as a Ventricular Septal Defect. Due to the location of the VSD, two more abnormalities develop. One being that there is a vast blood vessel which take the blood to the body (aorta) is pulled toward, and “overrides” the ventricular septum so that it sits over both the left and right ventricles; this is called an overriding aorta (UMMC, 2013). The second

Left-sided heart failure is the most common and there are two main types: systolic and diastolic. In simple terms, diastolic heart failure occurs when the left ventricle still pumps effectively, but doesn’t move as much blood as it should due to a filling problem. Systolic heart failure, on the other hand, occurs when the left ventricle does not pump as forcefully as it should, and therefore less blood makes it into circulation per contraction. Researchers and physicians alike are moving away from

Results: The results show that my average pulse rate is 65.7 beats per minute. My average systole level is 140.7 mmHG, and my average Diastole level is 61.2 mmHG. Discussion: Systole is the phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle contracts and pumps blood from the chambers into the arteries. My partner measured my average systole level to be 117. They measured it by using a blood pressure cuff, and listening with a stethoscope and the steps are discussed previously in the procedure. An average

from the lungs to the left atrium onto the left ventricle which then pumps it to the rest of the body. The left ventricle generates the heart’s pumping power therefore it is larger than the other chambers. In left-sided heart failure, the left side of the heart works harder to pump the same amount of blood that is normally pumped. There are two types of left-sided heart failure- the systolic and the diastolic. In systolic failure, the left ventricle is not able to normally contract and the heart cannot

In another word, stroke volume is end diastolic volume minus the systole volume. End diastolic volume is the volume of blood collected in a ventricle whilst end systole volume id the volume of blood remaining in a ventricle after contraction. Ref: (YouTube video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpO2yAFnfmo The stroke volume of a healthy person is between 50 to 70 millilitres at rest, which increases to 110 to 130 millilitres when

McCune 2012). Other risk factors for this disease are chronic kidney disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and older age. There are two types of the heart failure: systolic heart failure and diastolic heart failure. In systolic heart failure, the left ventricle has difficulty contracting and ejecting blood into the circulation, which causes reduced left ventricular fraction. On the other hand, diastolic heart failure has a slow and delayed relaxation and increased chamber rigidity, which then causes inadequate

Introduction: In this critical thinking scenario, nursing care related to the clinical case of Mrs.Aundrey Smith a 75 year old lady who was brought to Emergency Department for the management of fracture NOF (neck of femur), soft tissue injury and bruising to her left shoulder as well as small hematoma to her left forehead will be discussed. A comprehensive and holistic assessment of the case will be done to identify the nursing diagnosis, activities and rational which will be supported by current
