Avatar n tn - the physique does not suffer from any handicap.(let us understand by there that all the cells of the body achieve their respective functions suitably). - the sensitive is not seat of any no null feeling - the psychic is governed by an activity neither too slow rapid nor Triple neutrality can be broken by various incidents which occur daily (accidents, irradiation, intoxication, contamination… etc.).
Avatar f tn patient is dibetic since 35 years and he has pacemaker from last four years.he had his angiography 4 years back then he had been diagnosed as mild LAD disease and his ejection flow was 40% that time, but he had no treatment but from last three months when he started having dyspnoe he consulted an MD medicine who did his ECHO and found that he has LALV dilated, LVEF 27.8%, LALV clot absent and told the patient that he is having global hipokinesia.
Avatar n tn Please can someone explain why a patient with a pacemaker kept her paced rhythm of 70 bpm with a fever 39.3 to 40 degrees C? I thought pacemakers could vary the rate to meet metabolic requirements. Thank you.
Avatar n tn You have suffered a great injustice, and I'm sorry for your experience. I do not know what the black substance was, or what the results of exposure may be. However, the skipped beats may be caused simply by confusion in the heart muscle itself. Your heart cells are all capable of contracting and causing the heart to beat. Usually, this job is segregated to specific cells that most people refer to as the "natrual pacemaker.
255722 tn?1452546541 The spread of electricity throughout the heart muscle is possible because all heart muscle cells, not just pacemaker cells, are excitable. Usually, the heart muscle cells keep time more slowly than normal pacemaker cells. This allows the pacemaker cells within the SA node to be in control of generating and pacing the heartbeat.
Avatar n tn Hi, am doing some research. please can you explain why an 89yr old with pacemaker kept her 70bpm pulse with a fever of 40 deg.C. Also what were the metabolic implications for her? Many thanks.
Avatar n tn I had a pacemaker put in march 09 due to svt, I am a 38 yr old single mom. Right before I had the AV ablation to become pacer dependent, I had gone into my doctor a week before exlpaining that after the pacemaker had been inserted and they were doing the threshold testing i felt a "tapping" in my chest. they adjusted the time the threshold test would be and said that i had pacemaker syndrome.
696415 tn?1228229959 The sinoatrial node (SA node) is a group of cells positioned on the wall of the right atrium, near the entrance of the superior vena cava. Cells in the SA node will naturally discharge at about 70-80 times per minute. Because the sinoatrial node is responsible for the rest of the heart's electrical activity, it is sometimes called the primary pacemaker, the natural pacemaker.

Avatar n tn My husband has a pacemaker/ defibilator and is having sever coughing spells that makes him feel faint and sometimes he will become very hot and sweat heavy and pass out but i seem to catch it when its about to happen and i can wet his face and sort of bring him back around before EMS gets here........

Avatar n tn By the way...I noticed the ??? near the "natural pacemaker" portion of your post. Thought I'd take a minute to help you understand. The sinus atrial node is a clump of cells in your heart that put out an electrical current that causes the rest of your cells in the atrial center of your heart to contract. The electrical current continues into the ventricular node and causes the bottom of the heart to contract immediately after that.
Avatar m tn Yes, the condition can infect the heart's natural pacemaker. The heart's "natural" pacemaker is called the sinoatrial (SA) node or sinus node. It's a small mass of specialized cells in the top of the heart's right atrium (upper chamber). It makes the electrical impulses that cause your heart to beat.
Avatar n tn If the cells are dead, a cath would not be of any help. If the cells are hibernating due to low blood flow to the area, medication can increase the blood flow to the area....angina with stress and rest normal blood flow. Your symptoms, if any, would be the issue to correct. If you are having chest pain (angina) with exertion and rest relieves the chest pain that would be stable angina and medication can be effective.
Avatar n tn If you start to notice you are having frequent respiratory distress then that may signal it is time to get a pacemaker. Otherwise try to not hyper focus on your heart. Sounds like you keep it in perspective. Take care.
Avatar m tn In large and medium size vessels and in the kidney, endothelial dysfunction leads to enhanced growth and vasoconstriction of vascular smooth muscle cells and mesangial cells, respectively. These changes in the cells of smooth muscle lineage play a key role in the development of both atherosclerosis and glomerulosclerosis.
Avatar f tn My dad answered the door, got dizzy, then fell to the point where he went into respiratory distress and had agonal respirations. I thought he died in front of me. He has CHF, biventricular failure, aortal backflow, a-fib and has a pacemaker w/ defibulator. I called 911 because I thought he was dying and figured his defib kicked in because after a minute he regained consciousness. I'm getting zero answers beyond "low blood pressure/orthostatic hypotension".
Avatar f tn He was diagnosed with COPD a couple of years ago then they decided it was a heart problem so he had a pacemaker fitted about 6 weeks ago. Now they have decided that the pacemaker is working but he still has a breathing problem. He is on inhalers, nebulisers, etc etc. It is extremely frustrating and debilitating. I feel so sorry for him and helpless. He has to go back to a cardiologist and a respiratory specialist and is frustrated that he feels he is getting nowhere.
Avatar f tn Bronchial brushings right lower lobe no maligant cells respiratory cells identified. Bronchial bushings left lower lobe no maligant cells respiratory cells identified. Bronchioalveolar lavage left lower lobe no maliganant cells respiratory cells and abundant histocytes. Cell count as follows Macrophages 90%, neutrophils 5%, Lymphocytes 5%. Bronchioalveolar lavage right lower lobe no maligant cells. Could you tell me what this means.
Avatar f tn These were stem cells made from my OWN STEM CELLS not embryonic. So, no chance of rejection, no extra pills to take. There is over an 80% chance of improvement. My EF was between 12 and 15% before new stem cells. Have not had another EF test yet. I am diabetic(insulin dependent.) I do have a defibrillator and pacemaker. Would be only too happy to share my experiences - they will be on-going!! It is a shame one has to go out of the country to have this procedure done.
1400314 tn?1280731525 d like to know what got the ventricles going again. My understanding is that the pacemaker cells in the Ventricles can take over in the event it doesn't receive a signal to beat. this is called an "escape beat". On you holter they should be able to tell if the ventricles fired an escape beat or if the next beat was something called "normal sinus rhythm" or NSR. usually the ventricles will fire an escape beat within 3-4 seconds of not getting NSR.
1744581 tn?1311302411 I'm a 34 yr old female & I have a pacemaker for congenital complete heart block. I had it replaced for the first time 5 weeks ago. A recent echo showed severe hypokinesis of the apical wall. Ejection fraction is 50%. My dr said this could be due to wear my lead is at. I returned to work a 2 weeks ago after being off for a month after my surgery. I'm a prep cook & my job is pretty easy. I'm on my feet all day but I've been doing the same work for years.
Avatar n tn Atelectasis is failure of part of lung to expand.This occurs when the cells lining alveoli are unable to produce surfactant with which the surface tension between the alveolar walls is overcome.It also occurs when large bronchioles are obstructed from within by retained secretions or foreign bodies.
Avatar n tn There can be different reasons, but it generally finds a different way around, through normal heart cells. However, this can cause a delay, meaning the right chamber is contracting slower or is delayed compared to the left. This is probably what they are referring to with regards to borderline. Causes could be genetic history, certain infection types, recent heart attack, heart disease. If the cells are damaged, then there is always the option of a pacemaker.
Avatar m tn I have bilateral diaphragmatic weakness, not paralysis but I still required respiratory support. After I got used to it, it really was a godsend at least for awhile. The machine allowed my muscles to get much needed rest so that I wouldn't be gasping all of the time. As things got worse and I needed more and more BiPAP, I chose to get a trach and vent as I was on BiPAP 24/7 by that time and essentially bedbound.
Avatar n tn hypokinesis can also be the result of stunned cells. Stunned heart cells affected by a heart attack can be revitalized if blood/oxygen is quickly provided within a few hours to the area affected by an acute heart attack. Akinesis is different from hypokinesis in that the heart cells affected are necrotic (dead). Stem cell therapy may be helpful for that condition. Five years ago I had hypokinesis of the left ventricle wall and a low EF.
Avatar n tn my father had a heart attack in 1984, a pacemaker four years ago andnow is diagnosed with heart failure, is this normal?
Avatar n tn Smudge cells (or basket cells) are the remnant of a fragile cell (most commonly these cells are lymphoid in nature) that has been damaged in the process of making a blood smear. Smudge cells are most commonly seen in disorders characterized by lymphocyte fragility, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia and infectious mononucleosis. Both chronic lymphocytic leukemia and infectious mononucleosis increase the white blood count.
Avatar f tn heart cells are probably trying to take up for the loss. However, not being the natural pacemaker center, these cells fire at inappropriate times causing what you are feeling as palps. As for what to do, I can only tell you what I would do. I would get the thing fixed or replaced ASAP.
Avatar n tn Hello, my father (early 60s) is on an ICD. His cardiologist wants to make the heart completely dependent upon the pacemaker, as the medicines my father is on aren't working. Unfortunately, I was unable to sit in on the meeting between my father and the cardiologist. My question to you is this - do you know the name of the procedure that would fully sever the nerves which incite the heart to beat?
