What animal's saliva contains an anti-coagulant called draculin used to treat heart attack and stroke patients?
The animal is the vampire bat. Draculin, the anti-coagulant in their saliva, helps prevent blood clot formation by inhibiting platelet aggregation. This property has led to research on its potential medical applications for heart attack and stroke treatment.
Afibulation describes a condition of what organ?
Afibulation is not a standard medical term. It may be a misspelling of atrial fibrillation, which is a heart condition involving irregular and rapid heartbeats in the atria (upper chambers of the heart).
What is the difference between atrial fibrillation (AFib) and atrial flutter?
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) and atrial flutter are both types of irregular heart rhythms that originate in the upper chambers of the heart (atria). The main difference between the two is the pattern of the abnormal heartbeats. In AFib, the heartbeats are irregular and chaotic, while in atrial flutter, the heartbeats are typically more organized and rapid. Both conditions can increase the risk of complications like stroke and heart failure, so it's important to seek medical attention if you experience symptoms of either condition.
Is stroke volume usually larger than cardiac output?
No, cardiac output is the product of stroke volume and heart rate. Stroke volume refers to the amount of blood pumped by the heart in one beat, while cardiac output is the total amount of blood pumped by the heart in one minute. Typically, cardiac output is larger than stroke volume due to the inclusion of heart rate in the calculation.
What results if there is blockage in the vessel?
A blockage in the coronary artery is the most common cause of heart disease. A blockage happens when there is a build up of plaque in the inner lining of the artery. This causes the artery to become narrow or blocked. Since the coronary arteries deliver blood to the heart muscle, any blockage can have serious implications. It reduces the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the heart which may lead to heart attack and possibly death.
What are the difference between heart attack and a stroke?
Heart attack occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked by a blood clot. Without oxygenated blood, the heart muscle begins to die.Stroke is a brain attack, cutting off vital blood flow and oxygen to the brain. Stroke happens when a blood vessel feeding the brain gets clogged or bursts.
What is the medical difference between a heart attack and a stroke?
No, in a stroke, the symptoms often don't include any discomfort or pain and is more likely associated with losing feeling or the ability to move. Much of the time, a stroke only affects one side of the body.
What is the difference between a heart attack and a stroke?
A stroke is a disruption of the blood supply to the brain can cause part of the brain not to function. A heart attack is an interruption of the blood supply to the heart due to for example, blockage of artery leading to the heart. Causes heart cells to die.
What is the difference between SCD and a heart attack?
A heart attack (myocardial infarction) is the result of a blockage in an artery which feeds the heart, so the heart becomes starved for oxygen.
What is non q wave heart attack?
