Question

what are the four stages of the cardiac cycle:

Include the Blood Pressure Numbers during the phases. At what point is hypertension diagnosed?

At what phase will we feel the systemic pulse.

What does an abnormal ECG look like and what pathology is it indicative of (there are many just select one)?

List four risk factors and one comorbidity.

Long term hypertension may lead to what structural changes in the heart?

I order to maintain my own health and not wind up under you, my future nurses, exceptional and competent care, I swim for exercise.

One time before my swim I worked a long and busy ten-hour day in my office. I felt a bit tired during my swim. I still did my 45 minutes, but it was tougher then usual. When I came out of the water and started to dry off, I suddenly felt dizzy very, weak, and had to sit down. Mind you I am a doctor and all I could think was, I good a run. I hope I am remembered fondly. Yes, dramatic flair.  I did get enough strength and managed to get home where I drank a bottle of water immediately.

What affect does chronic stress have on your body and how does that add to heart disease?

What medications would a patient with this condition be put on?

How do those medication work, mechanism of action?

What are the signs and symptoms of this condition?

If this condition is not treated what does it lead to.

How does it damage the heart?

Answer 1

1.Four stages of cardiac cycle;the four stages of cardiac cycle include the following

1.isovolumic relaxation

2.inflow

3.isovolumic contraction

4.ejection

2.During the cardiac cycle blood pressure is measurable at the systolic contraction and diastolic relaxation.The diastolic blood pressure ranges from 60-90 mmof hg and systolic blood pressure ranges from 80-120 mm of hg.

3.Hypertension is diagnosed when systolic blood pressure is above 130mmof hg and diastolic blood pressure is above 80mmof hg.

4.Systemic pulse is felt during the fourth phase that is ejection phase of cardiac cycle.

5.An abnormal ECG finding is elevated ST segment .This is seen in myocardial infarction.
