Congenital heart defects, or heart problems that originated from birth; a diagnosis of valvular-Heart disease; a need to measure the heart muscle's ability to pump blood.
What else can I help you with?
What type of muscle would be considered autorhythmic?
Cardiac muscle is considered autorhythmic, meaning it has the ability to generate its own electrical impulses without the need for external stimulation. This property allows the heart to beat independently of nerve input.
When the sun sets bright and clear an easterly wind you need not fear?
This proverb means that when the sun sets clearly with a bright sky, there is no need to fear an easterly wind. This is because clear skies indicate stable weather conditions, meaning that an easterly wind is not likely to bring any storms or severe weather.
What is the purpose of the sodium-calcium exchanger in cardiac muscle?
Unlike skeletal muscles, cardiac muscles need extracellular calcium ions in order to perform contractions. The sodium-calcium exchanger is the protein that facilitates this transfer, trading calcium from outside the cardiac cell with sodium inside the cell.
Has a mass of 6.48 and a volume of 3.0?
You need to indicate what units the mass and volume are measured in.
How do you indicate in Cell E1 a spread of 3 numbers from Cell A1 A2A3 Then need to indicate a Pass or Fail in cell F1 if the spread is greater then 40 with any of the 3 numbers indicated?
Need larger spread of the 3 numbers
What attention must be taken with the arm after a cardiac catheterization?
If a vein or artery in the arm was used to insert the catheter, the arm will need to remain extended for a minimum of three hours.
How many data sets would you have?
You need to indicate the conditions.
What further problems need emergency surgery?
burns cardiac events, including heart attacks, cardiac shock and cardiac arrhythmia aneurysms brain injuries and other neurological conditions perforated ulcer and appendix, and peritonitis
What procedures may be recommended after a patient undergoes a cardiac catheterization?
The cardiologist may assess the patient's need and readiness for coronary bypass surgery, or perhaps a less invasive approach, such as dilation of a narrowed blood vessel either surgically or with the use of a balloon (angioplasty ).
What precautions need to be taken when doing transhepatic biliary catheterization?
Patients who need transhepatic biliary catheterization often suffer from additional complications of their cancer. Because of the likelihood of bleeding from the liver, this procedure should not be done on patients who.
What is aftercare for female catheterization?
Those using intermittent catheterization need to establish a schedule. Antibiotics should not be prescribed, but infection risk can be reduced by using antiseptic techniques, including washing the catheter.
What precautions need to be taken with urinary catheterization?
Because urinary catheterization carries a risk of causing urinary tract infection (UTI), precautions should be used to keep the catheter clean and free of bacteria.
What is the significance of a biphasic T wave on an electrocardiogram and how does it impact the interpretation of cardiac health?
A biphasic T wave on an electrocardiogram can indicate potential heart issues. It is when the T wave has both positive and negative components. This abnormality can suggest conditions like myocardial ischemia or electrolyte imbalances. It may impact the interpretation of cardiac health by signaling the need for further testing or monitoring to assess the heart's function and potential risks.
What is the normal value of cardiac index?
The normal value of cardiac index typically ranges from 2.5 to 4.0 liters per minute per square meter (L/min/m²). This measurement is derived from cardiac output adjusted for body surface area, providing a more accurate assessment of heart function relative to an individual's size. Values outside this range may indicate potential cardiac issues or the need for further medical evaluation.
What are the other two names for a cardiac ultrasound?
The other two names that refer to a cardiac ultrasound include Echocardiography and Cardiac Echo. A Cardiac Echo is used in situations where physicians need to diagnose a heart condition in a patient.
Why was the cardiac defibrillator created?
to defibrillate why else would you need it?
Can a patient have two heart caths done in one week?
Yes, if necessary, more than one cardiac catheterization can be done in one week. More than one in one or two days may be dangerous, however, because the dye used during the test can cause kidney damage in susceptible people. Some examples of why more than one cardiac catheterizations may need to be performed could be re-occlusion of an angioplastied or stented vessel, vessel aneurysm or dissection, or another myocardial infarction within that time period.
