Of course, there are other readings taken to determine cardiac health. For example, a person’s heart rate might be monitored. According to the American Heart Association, a normal pulse should be between sixty and one hundred beats per minute. Anything above and below that may indicate a hea...
Heart rate (beats/min) 296–388 Cardiac output (mL/min) 10–80 Blood volume (mL/kg) 64 Pulmonary Respiration (Breaths/min) 100–140 Tidal Volume (mL) 1.1–2.5 Compliance (mL/cm H2O) 0.3–0.9 Resistance (cm H2O/mL*s) 0.1–0.55 Pattern Obligate nasal Renal Urine volume 15–30 mL...
The Normal Heart is powerful emotional film about the early days of the AIDS crisis. While the characters are fictionalized, the events and the struggles are all too real. The film provides a valuable history lesson for those too young to remember the politics and emotions of the early days ...
Increased sub-epicardial fat has also been related to smoking and elevated heart rate [34]. Miyazawa et al, used computed tomography to examine 623 men aged 40–79 years without a history of cardiovascular disease following them up for an average of 4.7 years finding that current smoker status...
A normal heart rate for adults lies somewhere between 60 and 100 beats per minute (BPM), and varies based on age group and gender. Women's heart rates are about 2-7 BPM faster than men's on average. Generally speaking, you want to keep your resting heart rate as low as possible. On...
A lot of debates have surfaced in recent times regardingconsidering treatment of hypertensionin men over 80 years of age. An index of blood pressure in men over 80 years of 150/90 mm of Hg or more was presumed to be liable for treatment. ...
When a blood pressure reading is taken, two pressure levels are measured: systolic (the pressure during a heartbeat) and diastolic (the pressure between heartbeats). These measurements are typically recorded as one number over the other (e.g., 120/80 mmHg) with both values represented in mill...
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) enables assessment and quantification of morphological and functional parameters of the heart, including chamber size and function, diameters of the aorta and pulmonary arteries, flow and myocardial relaxation time
