Cardiovascular Health

Usually 120 over 80 but some consider 110 over 70 as the normal blood pressure.

DNA replication occurs during Interphase. This is not normally part of the cell division cycle but interphase must occur before subsequent stages such as prophase and metaphase can occur.

Systolic blood pressure is when the left ventricle contracts (first number), diastolic pressure is when the left ventricle relaxes (second number).

Atrial fibrillation (A-fib) is a very dangerous condition. In A-fib, the heart is trying to pump too fast, but is uncoordinated. This means that blood is not circulated around the body well. It also causes blood to swirl around inside the heart and can lead to forming blood clots. If one of these blood clots goes to the lungs it can cause a pulmonary embolis, or if it goes to the brain it can cause a stroke, both of which could be deadly.

To be on the safe side, make your way to a medical centre to be checked over.

There are many benign things that can cause this sensation. But, an 11 year old boy with a chief complaint of stinging in his heart should be evaluated by his pediatrician. Although the likelihood of the trouble being of cardiac origin is unlikely, it's worthy of exploration. Here are some questions you might want to have answers for when you see the pediatrician. # Is the pain associated with exertion or play, or does it come on while at rest?

# Does the child complain of difficulty breathing or catching his breath when this happens.

# Is there any complaint of feeling dizzy or lightheaded?

# Does the child have a recent history of fainting or seizures?

# Is the pain associated with taking a medication or breathing treatment such as nebulized asthma medications or rescue inhalers.

# Any complaints of headaches or muscular pain?

# Does the pain move anywhere, or radiate to an arm, his jaw or back?

# How intense is the pain, on a scale of 1 to 10 where 1 is no pain and 10 is the worst he has ever felt.

# Is there anything that makes the pain go away or feel better? This can be things such as changing position, resting calmly, anything that improves it. None of these questions are diagnostic in and of themselves, but they are some of the things the doctor will ask to help him or her decide what tests, if any, to I HAVE BEEN HAVING THOSE PAINS SINCE I WAS AROUND 8 OR 9, I AM 25 NOW AND STILL GET IT OFF AND ON. I DON'T THINK ITS NOTHING, MAYBE I SHOULD CHECK IT OUT AND YOU TOO.

Yes it is,,,while one part of the heart is in systole (ie ventricles) the other part is in diastole (ie atrium) the blood is continually moving thru the body via the arteries and veins via the cardiac output. There is always a little blood left in the ventricles after Systole though.....

Pump blood directly to the atria.

You could be coughing up blood because you have a lung infection. Your throat could also be raw and sore. You should immediately go to the emergency room and not wait to figure this out on your own.

fibrinogen to fibrin.

Lemons can help with lowering of cholesterol in the body. Just like other fruits, they do not contain cholesterol and they will help the liver to produce bile which burns more calories.

The most well-known high potassium food is probably bananas. Other foods high in potassium include potatoes, zucchini if eaten with the skin, apricots, coffee, tea, chinese cabbage, watercress and mollusks.

hello, i just has a mic\scarriage on nov. 8th 2006. most likely u have already had a one. with mine there was alot of pain ,bleeding, and bloodclots.

It is highly likely you are having a miscarriage. But it can be incomplete even though the pains reduce. Because there is then a risk of infection you need to seek medical help. I would also request an ultrasound as you will need a D. and C. procedure but just occasionally the baby may still be OK and would die because of the procedure. I always play it safe and request one anyway.

multiply 70 by 60 to get how many times the average heart beats in an hour;

70 x 20 =4200

then take that answer and multiply it by 24 since there are 24 hours in a day;

4200 x 24= 100800

so that would be the average heart beats 100800 times a day.

I'm 39 years old and I had a heart attack 11 months ago. I was "lucky" in that there was not significant damage to my heart muscle. As far as the prognosis, it's hard to say. It seems that things could go either way. I may live to be 80 or I may die in the next few minutes. The uncertainty is difficult to live with. The main thing I've gathered from reading and talking with my doctor is that if I can avoid another event there's no reason why I can't live to be an old man. That means making drastic changes in diet. Changes that make it difficult to eat out at restaurants or even at a relatives house. Most people really don't understand that CAD is an incurable disease and that you're never really quite out of danger. You have to be careful not to do anything that might cause inflammation that could rupture plaque, causing a blockage, and a heart attack. It also means regular, vigorous exercise on most days of the week. It gets very tiresome, I can tell you. Some days, you just don't think you can face the treadmill again. It helps to have someone around to encourage and support you. An exercise partner would be ideal. I tend to exercise at home rather than outside on the streets, just in case something were to happen. I'd hate to be found dead on the sidewalk. I'm not sure this answer helps. It's difficult to be very upbeat about having heart disease at my age. It would have been a lot easier if I had been one of the lucky ones who just dies in his sleep and never knows anything.

An SGPT test is a test which determines if the liver is damaged or diseased. It measure the levels of glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) in blood.

The iron-containing pigment of the erythrocytes that transports oxygen from the lungs to all of the body tissues would be "Hemoglobin".

Most small holes close without treatment. Often, as the child grows, the hole closes or becomes smaller.

It depends where it is before you eat. If it is in food, then it gets absorbed very quickly into your bloodstream, some of it even before the food hits the stomach. Then your pancreas and liver work hard to try and store it because it is such a sought after fuel source, it's like gold to the bopdy's metabolism. The downside to this is that it stores it so fast that your blood sugar drops after a while and you get very drousy. But, your body remembers what a wonderful jolt that last dose was so it wakes up wanting more, like a drug addict wanting a fix. That is why if you have a high carbohydrate breakfast and sweet drinks during the day you will keep craving the stuff. The final goal of all this glucose binging is to feed the cells in your body. Every single cell needs to burn fuel to keep going and stay alive, it used glucose for part of this process. The thing is, if you are in reasonable health, your body always has enough stored glucose in your liver and muscle cells ready to be put to work, but you need to trigger this process, and you can do that by eating protein for breakfast instead of the doughnuts, cereals, waffles, panckaes, etc, those are not the best thing for your glucose levels in your body.

The blood is stopped from flowing backward by four sets of valve. Between the right artrium and the right ventricle is the tricuspid ( = three flaps) valve. Between the left artrium and the left ventricle is the bicuspid ( = two flaps) valve.

The interpretation of depressed ST segments depend on the location, as well as the medical history. A list of causes, though, are: Ischemia (lack of oxygen to certain heart tissues) Myocardial infarction (heart attack) Hypokalemia (low potassium) Normal variant Enlargement of heart ventricles Medication effect of Digoxin and more...

Ventricular Fibrillation or V-Fib is a type of arrhythmia of the ventricles (lower chambers) of the heart. The chambers flutter uselessly instead of in a coordinated way. It is a medical emergency as the cardiac output of the heart (amount of blood pumped per minute) falls to a level that is unable to sustain adequate tissue metabolic demands on onset of V-Fib due to the uncoordinated contraction of heart muscle cells.

Ventricular fibrillation is one of the few shockable arrythmias, with the aim of a defibrillator being to deliver an electric shock in order to depolarise all the heart muscle simulataneously, in the hopes of a coordinated electrical signal originating from the sinus node.

The normal range varies with age, gender, and height (measure as a percentile for age).
