- Help pleasearrow_forwardTrace the journey of a drop of blood starting from the right atrium, continuing to the right thumb, and returning to the right atrium. This would include a trip through the heart. Be sure to identify both the arterial and venous vessels as well as all of the relevant structures within the heart. Considering the online nature of this exam, drawings are not required. Simply type in the order of structures with a dash (-) between structures.arrow_forwardA 67-year-old male was diagnosed with acute heart failure based on the clinical findings of decreased cardiac output, pulmonary congestion, and peripheral edema. His increased creatinine and BUN also indicated renal insufficiency. His electrocardiogram shows evidence of old myocardial infarction. Echocardiography reveals diminished left ventricular ejection fraction without ventricular dilatation. Pharmacologic therapy is started, including a positive inotrope, a coronary vasodilator, an antihypertensive ACE inhibitor, and a loop diuretic. Elective coronary angiography reveals significant stenosis of the left anterior descending artery. He undergoes balloon angioplasty and stent placement and remains stable as an outpatient. His discharge drug regimen is accompanied by a low-salt, low fat diet. What mechanisms led to Mr. R’s pulmonary congestion and pedal edema? How are they related to renal function and fluid-electrolyte balance? Briefly describe the process of sodium and fluid…arrow_forward
- Your research participant, Bryan, comes in for his cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). You want to run a VO2 max and EKG on him using the Bruce protocol. During the initial review of medical history, Bryan mentions he has been having some angina symptoms all day. On the angina scale he rated this as a 3. Would you test this person, yes or no? If yes, please indicate what protocol you would choose and whether or not the test would be maximal or submaximal? Please include your rationale.arrow_forwardI need help pleasearrow_forwardAnswer the question with explanation of every point provided.arrow_forward
