- One of the current major areas of research in heart transplants is the use of pig hearts for human transplants. Since pig and human hearts are virtually identical anatomically, researchers feel that it can make hearts available to everyone that needs one. Should the organs of pigs (or any other animals) be used to preserve the lives of humans? Why or why not?arrow_forwardPut these in orderarrow_forwardBlood is a crucial component of the cardiovascular system. Beside each job, write which type of blood cell does that job. i. Carry Oxygen or food to your lungs. ii. Find germs. iii. Eats foreign things in your body. iv. Take Carbon Dioxide or waste away. v. Kill infections.What do you need to do to keep your heart healthy?

- Aspirin is cardioprotective for its anti-thrombotic properties, which means that it prevents platelets from coagulating to make a clot. In cardiovascular practice, aspirin is prescribed to help prevent heart attacks and strokes. Which of the following is true?arrow_forwardWhat do you think are the clinical symptoms indicating that a person requires the surgical implantation of a mechanical pacemaker?arrow_forwardRead the following scenario: Mr. Robert McClelland, an 81-year-old man, is a new admission from the local hospital to your long-term care facility. After Mr. McClelland’s last bout with pneumonia and congestive heart failure, his wife of 59 years has decided she is no longer able to care for him alone. Mrs. McClelland states, “He has just gotten too weak and can’t help me care for him. I am so afraid he will fall and hurt himself. I am so worn out trying to care for him myself. I have to bathe him and remind him to eat; sometimes, I’ve had to feed him myself, or he won’t eat. He can be so forgetful.” Given this information, there are two options that Mrs. McClelland is considering. Hire an in-home nurse to care for her husband. Place her husband in a nursing home. Write 200–250 words arguing for the option you think will be best. Use the discussion prompts to guide the content for your initial post. Then, respond to at least two of your peers’ posts.arrow_forward
- Why should we maintain a patient in a compensated heart failure state?arrow_forwardWhat distinguishes angina from a heart attack? Select an answer from the options below Angina is caused by disrupted blood flow to the heart and lungs, whereas a heart attack is caused by a blockage in the heart muscle. Angina is caused by the death of the heart muscle, whereas a heart attack is caused by a disruption to the blood flow into the heart and lungs. Angina is chest pain due to an insufficient blood supply, whereas a heart attack is the death of the heart muscle tissue. A heart attack is the pain caused by the blood supply being briefly interrupted, whereas angina is caused by a longer disruption in blood flow.arrow_forwardAs a patient is dying, at what point does it become ethical to disconnect life-support equipment and remove organs for donation?arrow_forward

It helps reduce the chance of future clots and the further risk of embolism. The active ingredient in Coumadin is warfarin, a rat poison. How do you think the same compound can be used for these two very different purposes?arrow_forwardThe Belgian anatomist and physician Andreas Vesalius, in his textbook entitled De Humani Corporis Fabrica (published in 1543), made which of the following claims (contradicting one of Galen’s claims)? blood in the right ventricle of the human heart does not receive blood directly from the right atrium blood in the left ventricle of the human heart does not receive blood directly from the left atrium blood in the right ventricle of the human heart does not pass directly into the left ventricle blood in the right atrium of the human heart does not pass directly into the right ventricle blood in the left atrium of the human heart does not pass directly into the left ventriclearrow_forward
