Abstract:- An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a graphic recording or display produces by the myocardium during the cardiac cycle in exquisite detail. It is recorded by properly pasting the electrodes on the body surface. Biosignals are non-linear & non-stationary. ECG signal can be analyzed using wavelet transforms and it is the powerful tool for analyzing any type of biosignals. It involves representing a time function of a signal in terms of simple, fixed block termed wavelets. This paper presents a
Paper No. F14- Therapeutic Nutrition F14TN32- CONTRIBUTING FACTORS FOR CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES 1. Introduction Cardio vascular disease is a term that outlines a range of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels. The first alarm of an underlying disease is the heart attack and stroke. The majority of cardiovascular diseases occur as a result of risk factors that can be controlled, treated or managed, such as cholesterol, hypertension, malnutrition causing over weight and obesity, tobacco
Ki = 1.7 x 10-9. (Izzo Jr and Weir, 2011). Captopril is often administered together with diuretics to treat chronic hypertension patients. The drug should be taken orally 3 times daily at the dose of 6.25 - 12.5mg within a day after acute myocardial infarction. The same amount of drug and frequency of administration is also given to treat patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). However, the drug is often taken orally 3 time daily at a dose of 6.25mg when combined with diuretics and digitalis
When a patient is admitted to any acute care setting, their discharge planning should begin at that very moment and should include family members, friends, and any other support the patient has available. In spite of all of the education provided to the patient and their support system by the physicians and nurses in order to prepare patients for a successful discharge from the hospital, there will always be unplanned readmissions. These admissions remain a major challenge for the healthcare system
According to the latest World Health Organization (WHO) mortality report, ischemic heart disease is the current leading cause of death worldwide. It costs the United States alone over $100 billion annually. Despite this huge impact on economy and human life, studies have shown that the majority of these cases can actually be prevented if risk factors are identified and controlled as early as possible. These risk factors include, but are not limited to: Obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, smoking
for lifestyle factors. However, in many cases a heart attack is a secondary symptom of a more serious condition such as coronary heart disease. It is possible for a heart attack to occur without any symptoms at all, this is called a silent myocardial infarction and is common in people with diabetes. This is extremely dangerous, as without the symptoms to alert the sufferer to the problem, it is unlikely that they will receive the immediate treatment that they
Acute myocardial infarction occurs when the oxygenated blood flow in the heart is stopped and interrupted for a long period of time. A suggested intervention is inhaled oxygen at a normal oxygen pressure to a patient in this condition, delivered by facemask or nasal cannula (Iscoe, Beasley & Fisher, 2011). The effectiveness of additional oxygen to a patient with acute myocardial infarction is that it might recover and improve the oxygenation of the ischaemic myocardial tissue and reduce ischaemic
CC Follow up hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, pre-diabetes. S The patient is a 64-year-old female who states she has been doing fairly well. She did just get back from vacation in British Columbia for the last two weeks. She was not eating well there, but has been trying to eat well in general. She does get concerned about her history of elevated hemoglobin A1C into the pre-diabetes range. She does continue on her medications for her high blood pressure, as well as for her high cholesterol
Good nutrition is a key factor to living a healthy lifestyle. It is important that you watch your diet as well as physical activity. With doing so, you will manage to decrease chances of short/long-term diseases and staying in a healthy weight range. My healthy living paper will talk about blood pressure and how significant it is. I will also touch on ways to live a healthy life, such as running/walking, eating fruits and vegetables, and drinking water. Did you know that almost 50% of American
Angina pectoris (chest pain) is often a warning sign before an acute myocardial infarction. Myocardial infarction occurs after a period of cardiac ischemia. Risk factors for a heart attack includes male gender, postmenopausal women, nicotine, and stress. Heart failure occurs when the heart muscle is unable to pump effectively, which results
