What else can I help you with?
When a heart artery is clogged and heart muscle dies the condition is called?
irreversible ischemia
How does chest pain associated with a respiratory disorder differ from chest pain of cardiac origin?
Cardiac pain may go along your left arm. Respiratory pain does not. I think cardiac pain is cosidered much sharper too.
How did your grandfather died?
maternal granddad died of complications of senile dementia and paternal grandad dies of an unknown cardiac disorder.
What is the medical term meaning electrical changes in the heart muscles?
There is no single term but a good sentance would be "cardiac conductance disorder"
What type of disease is hypertension?
Cardiac disease, which means heart disease. Hypertension means high blood pressure.
Why would somebody who had a cardiac arrest need the use of depacote?
They wouldn't. Depacote is a mood stabilising drug used for bi-polar disorder
How a cardiac disorder cause an effect on the respiratory system?
Chronic high blood pressure combined with heart failure can push fluid into the lungs.
Is inferolateral ischemia curable?
Ischemia of any type is reversible. If ischemia is prolonged, it can turn to injury or infarction (in the case of the heart) and cell death, at which time it is not reversible or curable. There are studies with stem cells ongoing to attempt to regrow cardiac cells in heart attack scars, however, so this may not be a permanent condition forever.
What happens to excitability in hyperkalemia?
In hyperkalemia, the increased extracellular potassium levels lead to a decrease in the resting membrane potential of cells, making them more excitable. This can result in muscle weakness, cardiac arrhythmias, and potentially cardiac arrest.
What is a Partially reversible defect of the inferolateral wall?
A partially reversible defect of the inferolateral wall typically refers to a condition observed in cardiac imaging, such as a myocardial perfusion scan or cardiac MRI, where there is reduced blood flow or function in the inferolateral region of the heart muscle. This defect may indicate underlying ischemia or previous myocardial injury, but it is not completely fixed, meaning some functional recovery is possible with appropriate treatment, such as revascularization or lifestyle modifications. The term emphasizes the potential for improvement in heart function in that specific area, depending on the severity and duration of the underlying condition.
Is brain death not as final as cardiac death?
Brain death is considered legally and clinically irreversible, marking the complete and permanent loss of all brain function, including the brainstem. In contrast, cardiac death occurs when the heart stops beating and blood circulation ceases, but is often reversible in some medical scenarios. While both are considered forms of death, brain death is a more definitive end of all neurological activity, whereas cardiac death can sometimes be resuscitated. Therefore, brain death is generally regarded as more final than cardiac death.
Is heart failure chronic?
chronic heart failure is demonstrated by a cardiac catheterization or nuclear medicine study. During cardiac catheterization, the patient's cardiac function will be measured by cardiac output, ejection fraction and cardiovascular pressures.
