- Cpr Needs Resuscitation & Resuscitation Needs Cpr
By: Katt Mollar | - CPR, otherwise known as Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation, is universally accepted as the emergency procedure of choice for people who have stopped breathing or whose heart has stopped beating. But at the same time it remains underutilized and at the same time misunderstood.
Contrary to popular belief, CPR is not meant to and is unlikely to restore a heartbeat. The objective of CPR is to keep the blood circulating, similar to 'priming the pump', until an effective heartbeat and breathi ...

According to the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, a heart murmur results from blood flow running through the heart that is abnormal. Some heart murmurs are perfectly normal while others, similar to those heard in aging dogs, may be a sign that some type of heart disease is prevalent. The most common cardiac diseases in dogs include:
1. Congenital ...

- Sudden Cardiac Arrest - Is There Hope?
By: Katt Mollar | - On June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson, well-known as the King of Pop, died of cardiac arrest.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in the U.S. and the majority of CVD deaths are attributable to Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) which claims more than 250,000 lives each year. One person dies of SCA-related events every two minutes. This is equivalent to more 650 deaths each day. Each year, more people die from SCA than from breast cancer, lung cancer, stroke, or AIDS ...

- When Your Heart Needs To Be Replaced
By: Everette Jamison | - If your heart becomes unable to effectively pump blood throughout your body, a heart transplant may be necessary. The procedure is usually only performed on patients who have crossed over to "end-stage" heart failure. At that point, there are no alternative paths to treatment. Medications do not help, nor do less extreme surgical procedures. If the person does not receive a replacement, he or she will die.
Below, we'll explore heart transplants in detail. Specifically, we'll discu ...

- How A Pacemaker Can Keep A Heart Running Smoothly
By: Everette Jamison | - When your heart muscle is working properly, it can continue beating without mechanical intervention. The sinus node generates an electrical current which travels from the top of the muscle downward. As the current travels, it triggers contractions in the muscle's chambers which pump blood. When the electrical current isn't generated properly, arrhythmias can develop. As a result, a person might experience fatigue and even loss of consciousness.
A pacemaker is a sophisticated devic ...

- Exploring The Medical Condition Of Cardiomyopathy
By: Lawrence J. Reaves | - When a patient suffers from cardiomyopathy (CM), his or her heart becomes enlarged. When this happens, the muscle can thicken or grow rigid. As the condition advances, there is a marked reduction in its ability to pump blood effectively. As a result, a patient might suffer an arrhythmia, heart failure, and even infection within the lining of the tissue.
Having said that, it is possible for a person to have the disease, yet not realize it. In fact, some people have CM and they do n ...

- What Causes A Sudden Cardiac Arrest?
By: Lawrence J. Reaves | - When your heart beats normally, it facilitates blood flow throughout your body. If, for some reason, the electrical impulse which controls the beat is interrupted, it cannot pump blood. As a result, your organs, brain, and tissues cannot receive the oxygen they need in order to function. This is known as a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
An SCA is different than a heart attack. It is a near-immediate failure of your body's systems. Because blood cannot reach your brain, everything sh ...

- Factors That Increase The Risk Of A Heart Attack
By: Lawrence J. Reaves | - Your heart requires a constant flow of blood. Under normal circumstances, blood flows through the arteries to the muscle. If that flow is impeded in any way, the muscle can be damaged because it cannot receive a sufficient supply of oxygen. If the interruption of the blood flow is prolonged, the muscle will start to die.
Often referred to as a myocardial infarction (or MI), a heart attack begins when a coronary artery is blocked. At first, you'll notice a pressure building in your ...

- 10 Ways To Avoid A Heart Attack
By: WillieG | - 10 Ways to Avoid a Heart Attack
A heart attack is referred to in the medical arena, as a myocardial infarction. This coronary event follows after the heart muscle has been deprived of oxygen, due a blocked artery or arteries. Many cardiac problems are related to partially blocked coronary arteries that nourish the heart muscle itself. The formation and buildup of plaque in the internal walls of the arteries may make them more inelastic, and increasing the risk of total blockage and the ...

- Heart Bypass Or Stent - Which Is Better?
By: Gregory Smyth | - For the hundreds of thousands of people every year that are told they have blocked arteries, the choice does not involve whether or not to have something done. If the patient doesn't undergo one of the two types of procedures, CABG surgery (coronary artery bypass grafting surgery) or stenting, the great likelihood is that they will die.
Stenting was hailed as a groundbreaking treatment when it first came onto the mainstream, with the need for open heart cardiac bypass surgery at ...

- Congestive Heart: What Is Congestive Heart Failure?
By: Daniel B Hyde | - Whenever cardiac conditions develop these conditions, weaken or damage your heart, which leads to heart failure. In a weakened condition, the heart over time can no longer keep up with even the normal demands placed on it.
The ventricles may become stiff and not fill properly between beats. The heart ventricles stretch (dilate) to the point that the heart cannot pump blood efficiently throughout your body. The failing pump causes blood and fluid to back up throughout your circula ...
