What happens when hemoglobin is happens?
They will have a better oxygen transport in their blood, this is why endurance athletes use doping substances or high altitude training to increase their hemoglobin levels. The drawback of a high hemoglobin level is that your blood is more likely to form thrombosis and cause stroke or heart attacks.
If you had high hematocrit would your hemoglobin be high or low?
RBCs are made up of hemoglobin, therefore if the hematocrit is high you should expect a high hemoglobin determination.
Is asthma related to high hemoglobin?
No, asthma is related to low hemoglobin.
Are high heart rate and low iron related?
Yes, low iron can cause a high heart rate. The body needs iron to make hemoglobin, which is responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body, therefore the heart has to work harder to supply adequate oxygen.
How does high cholesetrol increase resting heart rate?
While high cholesterol may result in atherosclerosis, there is no relationship to its effect on heart rate.
Are hemoglobin found only in the walls of your heart?
No. Hemoglobin is found in every red blood cell in your body.
What is the effect of a high myoglobin on the heart muscle?
A high myoglobin means that the heart muscle has been broken down. It can also mean that a heart attack happened. Myoglobin is a protein that can be found in the heart muscle.
How is seal hemoglobin different to human hemoglobin?
All hemoglobin has something called the Bohr effect, which is a negative effect of binding oxygen by hemoglobin in the presence of acid. This effect is some what exaggerated in diving mammals.
If you have a high hemocrit would your hemoglobin be high or low?
If you have a high hematocrit, your hemoglobin levels would likely be high as well. Hematocrit measures the volume of red blood cells in blood, while hemoglobin is the protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells. An increase in hematocrit often corresponds with an increase in hemoglobin levels.
What is the effect of pCO2 on oxygen transport?
This is called the Bohr effect where a increase in pC02 which decrease the pH leads to a decreased affinity of hemoglobin to oxygen. This means that hemoglobin unloads oxygen in areas where pC02 is high e.g. active tissue and that the binding coefficient of hemoglobin is highest in the lung where pC02 is negligible.
Does coumadin effect hemoglobin levels?
No, coumadin (warfarin) does not directly affect hemoglobin levels in the blood. It works by blocking the synthesis of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, which helps in preventing blood clots. Hemoglobin levels can be influenced by factors such as anemia, bleeding, or certain medical conditions, but not by coumadin itself.
Is heart attack a disease?
No, it's the effect of a disease. ( High blood pressure, high cholesterol levels...etc)
