https://lnkd.in/diui5JTZ To remember the H's and T's in the context of Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), you can use this mnemonic song set to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star": **"Hypovolemia, lack of flow, Hypoxia, oxygen's low. Hyper or hypokalemia, watch for these, Hypothermia, freezing breeze.** **Tension pneumo, chest so tight, Tamponade, heart's in a fight. Thrombosis, clots block the way, Toxins, trouble every day.** **Hypoglycemia, sugar's fall, These H’s and T’s, we recall."**

Aging myocardium has a decreased chronotropic response to catecholamines and is dependent on preload (intravascular volume). Hypovolemia can easily result in shock. Deterioration of the cardiac conduction system leads to atrial fibrillation and bundle branch blocks.Medications, especially digoxin, -blockers, and calcium channel block-ers, impair the tachycardic response to catecholamines, both impairing the body's inability to compensate for hemorrhage and making heart rate an unreliable predictor of hypovolemia.

Cardiac amyloidosis is a condition where faulty proteins(Amyloid)build up in your heart.As these proteins accumulate, your heart struggles to pump, ultimately leading to heart failure. Let's have a look how it will look in echo. #cardiacamyloidosis #echocardiogram

New research from Dr. Yajing Wang at the University of Alabama at Birmingham highlights the hidden risks of vaping on heart health. Pulmonary extracellular vesicles (EVs) induced by nicotine inhalation via the #inExpose can disrupt cardiac function, leading to increased fibrosis and cell death. This study reveals the crucial role of EVs-ERK5 in lung-to-heart damage, underscoring vaping’s potential cardiac toxicity. https://hubs.ly/Q02X9BYz0. #inExpose #Ecigarettes #VapingRisks #ExtracellularVesicles #HeartHealth

A recent, large study in Denmark has provided valuable insights into the long-term risks associated with Atrial Fibrillation. Some key findings were: Two in five individuals with atrial fibrillation developed heart failure over their lifetime. One in five experienced a stroke. Therefore, the risk of developing heart failure is twice that of having a stroke, in people living with AFib. It’s important that people with atrial fibrillation have ongoing monitoring of not only stroke risk, but also of cardiac function as these can change over time. If signs of heart failure are becoming apparent, there may be new or different treatment strategies that your Cardiac Electrophysiologist may recommend💓 Read more about this study here: https://lnkd.in/ePGAkP3J #CardiacCare #AtrialFibrillationAwareness #HeartHealth #StayInformed

ABNORMAL LUNG SOUNDS SERIES (Part 01) -The Fine Crackles- 1- Fine Crackles are also called “Rales”. They are characterised by brief, discontinuous, non-musical, soft and high pitched sound and can be remembered as “Wood Burning In A Fireplace” or “ A Popping Sound”. 2- They can be heard at the end of Inspiration. 3- They can be cleared with cough. 4- They can be heard in the lung base. 5- Fine Crackles indicate Chronic bronchitis, Pneumonia, Congestive Heart Failure, Atelectasis and Pulmonary Edema. 6- Early Inspiratory Crackles indicate Chronic bronchitis while the late Inspiratory Crackles indicate Pneumonia, CHF and atelectasis. 7- They can be a sign of early heart failure.

PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIONS :: CARDIAC CONTRACTILITY :: The main effect of digitalis on heart is to increase the force of myocardial heart muscle contraction i.e.positive inotropic effect This results in increased cardiac output in normal individuals it constricts the blood vessels of arteries and veins Thus the increased cardiac output is counteracted by this effect and hence apparently an increase in cardiac output is not observed https://lnkd.in/dcuufjjM
