or rapid compression of the heart due to the pericardial accumulation of fluid, pus, blood, clots, or gas, as a result of effusion, trauma, or rupture of the heart. The primary abnormality is rapid or slow compression of all cardiac chambers as a result of increasing intrapericardial pressure which prevents atrial and ventricular filling, suppressing cardiac output and in turn, precipitating a fall in systemic blood pressure [2]. Stab wounds produce a small tear in the pericardium itself which seals

The first successful closure of an intra cardiac defect was performed in May 6, 1953. In 1952, the cage ball valve was used to close atrial septal defect, by being placed in the the ascending thoracic aorta. The cage ball valve used methacrylate tubes for arterial replacement. This made the subject have a ball valve. The chamber contained a methacrylate ball which was descended into the the aorta during a cross clamp period through fixation rings. There were a lot of problems with this model. There

does not allow sufficient blood and oxygen to flow to the body and can therefore cause serious consequences. Strokes, heart attacks, and heart failure can occur without treatment. Plaque can also break off and cause blood clots. Other symptoms are general pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, and muscle weakness. Doctors can check for a weakened pulse, aneurism, or slow wound healing to diagnose a person with arteriosclerosis. Patients are treated with medicines that lower blood pressure and clotting factors

40% of all neonatal cardiac mortality. There are three main types of HLHS: 1)Aortic atresia with mitral atresia: most severe, retrograde blood flow, and systemic output is entirely PDA dependent. 2- Aortic atresia with patent mitral valve: inflow without outflow, resulting in LV hypertrophy. 3-Aortic valve stenosis with patent mitral valve: antegrade blood flow, mild end of the HLHS spectrum.

different treatment and aftercare. What is a Heart Attack? Heart like all other muscles in the human body requires an uninterrupted oxygen-rich blood supply to function properly. Heart receives this through coronary arteries. When a coronary artery is blocked it stops the oxygen-rich blood from flowing into one part of the heart. The section with interrupted blood flow slowly begins to die, and the damage keeps increasing with the delay in the process of treatment. The symptoms of heart attack can either

to do if someone has a nosebleed or cut is also important. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure, performed in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person in cardiac arrest. It is indicated in those who are unresponsive with no breathing or abnormal. Giving CPR: • Call 999 when victim is found unresponsive. • Head tilt-chin lift or jaw thrust if spine

system refers to the heart, blood vessels and the blood. Blood contains oxygen and other nutrients which the body needs to survive. The body takes these essential nutrients from the blood. The body gets rid of waste products, such as carbon dioxide, back into the blood, in order to remove them. The main function of the cardiovascular system is to sustain blood flow across all areas of the body. Veins return used blood (deoxygenated) from the body back to the heart. This blood is low in oxygen as it has

TMA 1 Describe the four basic human body structure unit and their functions. The four basic human body structures are cells, tissues, organs and systems. Cells Most cells have some common elements to them. These include the nucleus, cytoplasm and the membrane. The nucleus contains most of the genetic or hereditary information and controls the cells growth and reproduction. It also contains the chromosomes which in turn contain DNA. The cytoplasm makes up the rest of the cell, outside

in the duodenum to digest food. Groups of special cells called 'Islets of Langerhans' are scattered throughout the pancreas. These cells make the hormones insulin and glucagon. The hormones are secreted directly into the bloodstream to control the blood sugar level. The bile duct carries bile from the liver and gallbladder. This joins the pancreatic duct just before it opens into the duodenum. Bile also passes into the duodenum and helps to digest food. Pancreatitis occurs when the pancreas becomes
