the field of cardiology the where the term myopathy is revered as Cardiomyopathy. Myopathy is a disease that affects the muscles and causes weakness due to dysfunction of muscle fibers (1); Cardiomyopathy is of the same circumstance but deals primarily with the heart. Capture Myopathy is relative to many animals, especially mammals and provides a definitive correlation to humans and their potential medical prognosis of Cardiomyopathy. Capture Myopathy is a syndrome that that occurs within captive animals
WHAT IS A CARDIOMYOPATHY? Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, causing the heart muscle to become enlarged, thick or rigid. In rare cases, the muscle tissue in the heart is replaced with scar tissue. As cardiomyopathy worsens, the heart becomes weaker. It 's less able to pump blood through the body and maintain a normal electrical rhythm. This can lead to heart failure and rhythm problems. In turn, heart failure can cause fluid to build up in the lungs, ankles, feet, legs or abdomen
people haven’t heard of “Broken Heart Syndrome” or “Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy.” What is broken heart syndrome? It is a syndrome that occurs when there is a sudden heart failure that occurs about an emotional trauma. This syndrome was first recognized by Japanese doctors in the 1990’s. The reason it got its name is because of the shape of the heart muscle is when it occurs, the shape resembles a Japanese octopus trap, which is called “Takotsubo.”
research related to the body's cardiovascular system; where one works with problems pertaining to LVAD patients developing gastrointestinal angiogenesis, the other pertains to diagnosing cardiac conditions like atrial fibrillation, nonischemic cardiomyopathy, and pulmonary arterial hypertension through echocardiograms and MRIs. I immigrated to the United States after I finished my eighth grade and so, I had a lot of time there to do research. My first hands on experience with research was in the laboratories
including cardiomyopathies, hypertension and valve disease. Cardiomyopathies can be caused by genetic disorders/defects, viral illness, some endocrine conditions, autoimmune diseases, and excessive use of alcohol and drugs. Pharmacology treatment of diagnosed LVSD is predominately the same, although it is recognised that lifestyle advice may differ depending on the cause or exposure to environmental factors. For the purpose of this assessment I have chosen to focus upon cardiomyopathy which have
One simple solution to a widespread problem is getting blood tested for diseases or conditions such as cardiomyopathy. It just takes a small amount of effort on anybody’s part for them to be cleared or diagnosed with the condition. If cleared, they live a happy normal life without having to take any precautions with what they do. If they are diagnosed, they have a fair warning and are able to take the necessary steps to prevent a cardiac event. In the Mayo Clinic, it states, “Several blood tests
Approximately, 1 of every 500 people is affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, it is important for patients to understand the dynamics of the disease as it could potentially be life threatening. In most cases, the patients quality of life is not affected, but a few will experience symptoms that cause significant discomfort or undetected complications that could lead to sudden cardiac death. With that in mind, it would be beneficial to recognize what it is, specific causes, the steps of diagnoses
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (feline HCM) in Maine Coons is a very serious myocardial disorder that often leads to sudden death due to heart failure. The Maine Coon (American Longhair) is the largest and oldest natural breed of domestic cat in North America with a distinct appearance with a lion-like ruff and a tail that resembles a raccoon’s and is good at hunting. HCM is when “a primary structural disorder of the myocardium; characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy… no symptoms to
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Effects on Young Athletes Alyssa Trimm 130568370 Wilfrid Laurier University Dr. Kalmar KP 122 Section A Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a genetic disease of the heart, making the cardiac muscle is thick and strong. The thick muscle causes a decrease in cavity size, forcing the heart to pump less blood. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is one of the primary causes of sudden death as the prevention of blood flow causes cardiac arrest. More successful research is being
Romeo Montague's plot-shaping irresponsible actions One man's actions can make a huge difference. This is the case in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. A teenage boy with no experience of true love or true pain, riding the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with teen love.

When the name Edgar Allan Poe is mentioned, it is usually followed by a gloomy description of his works. His portrayal inevitably involves words as twisted mind, grotesque, and insane. The celebrated work of Poe not only reflects greatness in writing skill, but an unparallel ability to delve into human psychology. Poe reflected his life into his writings, giving a peek into the human psych when it is littered with bad fortune, and turmoil. Edgar Allan Poe’s experiences and personal views are subtlety
