Ventricular hypertrophy

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 abnormality that

right precordial leads and associated with the highest level of risk for development of malignant arrhythmias.Type 3 is often associated with IVF storms. (21) Short-QT syndrome is described as a disorder characterized by abbreviated QT interval, ventricular and atrial arrhythmias,and sudden cardiac death (22) Recent studies supported an association between short QT syndrome and early repolarization. The aim of this study was to study the prevalence of ER and its relationship with the QTc interval in

Abstract: Cystic retrochiasmatic craniopharyngiomas may reach enormous size by expanding into the posterior fossa along the retroclival area, which is very unusual finding. A 5-year-old boy presented with headache for 2 month. On the neurological examination, it was normal. Initial magnetic resonance (MR) images revealed a huge, thin-capsuled multi-cystic mass, which extended around brain stem & extending bilaterally along the base of the middle and posterior cranial fossa. Subtotal excision of the

Cardiac arrest management is an ever evolving system, based on expanding science and technology that allows for the lay rescuer, or the seasoned paramedic to try and bring back someone whose heart has stopped. This paper will explore the history and general practices of Advanced Cardiac Life Support – or ACLS – as well as basic techniques, and how it has helped to improve survival rates in sudden arrest victims, as well as if there are better ways to tackle issues involving the correct or incorrect

For this article review, the assignment was to choose an article from “The Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography.” I chose the article “Spina Bifida: A Review of the Importance of Sonography’s Role in Its Detection” written by Elke Wingate, AS, RDMS, RT(R); Jody Hancock, MAED, RDMS, RT(R); Kelley Churchwell, AS, RDMS, RT(R); and Monica Pipkins, RDMS, RVT. In this article, the authors discuss the role of sonography in detecting spina bifida. I chose this article because we briefly talked about

a diagnosis of Tetralogy of Fallot should mean having a death sentence. With an occurrence rate of 3 in every 10,000, it is the most common cause of cyanotic cardiac disease. [Wynbrandt, 366] There are four defects that commonly occur together; ventricular septal defect, hypertrophied right ventricle, malposition of the aorta, and pulmonary stenosis. For one to be diagnosed as a Tetralogy of Fallot baby, the patient must present with at least two of the four defects. Any one of these defects can cause

thoughts seemed utterly insignificant. That spring, I got diagnosed with heart disease. Ventricular Tachycardia. It is strange to think that somebody 21 years old could get such a complicated sounding disease. Initially I felt confused and a bit doubtful. I asked the doctor over and over again to make sure it was the correct diagnosis. Eventually I came to accept the fact that I have Ventricular Tachycardia. Eventually, I was able to see that having this disease didn’t have to be such a

In regards to this week’s assignment on written instructions, I have chosen to write the topic on the steps to take in obtaining electrocardiogram, most commonly called ECG. An ECG is very important equipment not only in a hospital environment but also to outside facility because it can detect any abnormalities in a person’s heart status in the shortest time making it very efficient to start treatment as soon as possible. The audience that my instructions aims for are not only to those that have

Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a life-threatening condition in which the signaling in the ventricles of the hearts is no longer coordinated. The loss of this coordinated signaling causes rapid, random and chaotic signaling leading to spasms of the ventricular walls. During VF, blood is not being circulated to the brains and the rest of the body and is therefore deprived of oxygen. This condition can be reversed by using a defibrillator, which sends an electric discharge of direct current to the

Institutes of Health [NIH], National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute [NHLBI], 2011). 2. What are the "shockable rhythms" an AED recognizes and describe each? There are two shockable rhythms an AED is able to recognize. The first shockable rhythms is ventricular
