What does water do to your heart?
Water around the heart is also called a pericardial effusion. The pericardium is a sac that surrounds the heart. If this sac fills with fluid, a pericardial effusion, then the ability of the heart to contract normally is compromised.
What are some Circulatory system disease?
Atherosclerosis (plaque build up on vessel wall) Congestive heart failure (weaker heart cannot pump effectively, resulting in damming of blood in venous system) Coronary artery disease (stenosed coronary artery or emboli formation in coronary arteries resulting in angina or myocardial infarction) Angina pectoris (Severe pain of heart caused by brief ischemic attack of a blocked coronary artery) Myocardial infarction (aka heart attack. Cardiac necrosis caused by prolonged ischemia caused by a blocked coronary artery) Aneurysms (thinning or bulging of a vessel wall leading to potential bursting of vessel) Cardiac tamponade (fluid accumulation in pericardial sac pushes against heart and reduces pumping efficiency)
What does hyperphosphatemia cause?
Severe hyperphosphatemia can cause paralysis, convulsions, and cardiac arrest
Can cardiac sphincter get inflamed due to severe rheumatoid?
Not hat is known of at present.
What can cause pulsus paradoxus?
Pulsus paradoxus can be caused by conditions such as cardiac tamponade, severe asthma exacerbation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pericarditis. It is characterized by an exaggerated drop in blood pressure during inspiration.
What causes a massive haemopericardium?
Massive haemopericardium is caused by bleeding into the pericardial sack. The cause of this may be penetration by a sharp object or projectile, blunt chest trauma, or splitting of the heart wall as a result of mitral valve problems or damage to the myocardium (the inner layer of the heart) following a heart attack for example.
What is the prognosis for a severe coarctation of the aorta?
Surgery is required for infants that have severe coarctation of the aorta or have associated cardiac defects. The average life span of children who have coarctation of the aorta is 34 years of age.
HOW SEVERE is the pain after a discogram?
The procedure was the worst pain I have ever felt. I am still in pain a week after.
Is changing the brake fluid on a 1999 ford mustang normal or severe?
It should be a normal procedure.
Who should not get a Breast implantation?
A woman in poor health or with a severe chronic disease is not a good candidate for this procedure
How can you achieve tetanus of the heart muscle?
Tetanus of the heart muscle, or cardiac tetanus, is not a common physiological condition as the heart has a built-in mechanism to prevent tetanic contractions. However, it can occur under pathological conditions, such as during certain types of electrical disturbances or in severe electrolyte imbalances. Prolonged stimulation of cardiac muscle fibers, often seen in hyperkalemia or after an electrical shock, can lead to a sustained contraction. This state is dangerous and can result in cardiac arrest or other severe complications.
What is the emergency treatment of hypokalemia?
In emergency situations, when severe hypokalemia is suspected, the patient should be put on a cardiac monitor, and respiratory status should be assessed.
