Votes:0 Learn about the latest cardiovascular and cardiothoracic surgical procedures for cardiovascular diseases and conditions! Are you, or some one you love, facing heart surgery ... maybe coronary artery bypass? Do you know any one who has suffered a stroke? Or is a loved one suffering from congestive heart failure? Learn what valvuloplasty, commissurotomy and valve replacement can do for diseased heart valves. Also how Left Ventricular Reduction surgery can help some congestive heart failure patients, and how Transmyocardial Laser Revascularization can help some patients with severe coronary arteriosclerosis. Read about aortic aneurysms and how surgeons repair life-threatening damaged arteries. Information about these surgical procedures is presented by our group of leading cardiovascular, tho Read More Go to Site Blue Baby Operation Exhibit Votes:0 O n November 29, 1944, a small, frail child was wheeled into an operating room at the Johns Hopkins Hospital for the first attempt to treat tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart malformation that robs the blood of oxygen. This life-threatening condition is often signaled by a bluish or "cyanotic" cast to the skin, hence the term, blue baby . The procedure joined an artery leaving the heart to an artery leading to the lungs, in an attempt to give the blood a second chance at oxygenation. It was the first blue baby operation and came to be known as the Blalock-Taussig Shunt. This exhibit marks the 50th anniversary of the procedure,which was celebrated in 1995.

All rights reserved Read More Go to Site Heart Attack/Myocardial Infarction Votes:0 Home Heart Attack / Myocardial Infarction The heart is a mechanical, contractile pump responsible for maintaining blood circulation. It is made of specialized muscle called myocardium and weighs about 10 ounces in the average adult, although many factors affect its ultimate size. This muscle is activated by timed electrical impulses from a part of the heart called the sinoatrial node , the natural pacemaker of the heart. Since the heart is constantly active, it requires an uninterrupted supply of oxygen provided by blood passing through its very own blood vessels - the coronary arteries , represented in the beating heart at the top as irregular, branching lines. The graphic at the right shows the normal width of a coronary artery before it starts branching and forming smaller vessels.

The proper use of the non-medical term "heart attack" is "Myocardial Infarction". Either term is scary. "Myocardial Infarction" (abbreviated as "MI") means there is death of some of the muscle cells of the heart as a result of a lack of supply of oxygen and other nutrients. This lack of supply is caused by closure of the artery ("coronary artery") that supplies that particular part of the heart muscle with blood. This occurs 98% of the time from the process of arteriosclerosis ("hardening of the arteries") in coronary vessels. Although it once was felt that most heart attacks were caused from the slow Read More Go to Site Heartsurgeon - Votes:0 Heartsurgeon Spiderman 1991 Comic Eames Era Teapot Whiteware Porcelain Studio Strobe Kit Zachary Zween Stuffed Scottie Dogs Omni Xp Ionic Mopar Stroker Pistons Evil Skull Flag Dodge Ram Overhead 00 bubble mailers - 1987 pathfinder rim 1989 300zx - abarth exhausts used abercrombie sandra sweater - akai acid loops akai am m5 - armada 7790 memory armored core koto - bead display trays beaded bridal lace - blazer s10 1996 blc dora louise - bronco fender flares brother sister design - capiz lampe capiz light fixtures - checkered backpack checkered coffee cups - clyffeside park ashland clymer atv manuals - courtois privilege bb cow chicken dvd - cuticle biting cutlass scripts - demonia keychain demonia pleather boots - donut machine robot dormroom nude - ef9 lights eight auspicious symbols - eur Read More Go to Site Home Page :: Cardiovascular Institute of the South Votes:0 Cardiovascular Institute of the South (CIS) and its staff of more than 400 dedicated team members and 40 physicians bring comprehensive cardiovascular care to patients in 11 locations throughout south Louisiana.
