Etiology and epidemiology of cardiac arrhythmias
In chapter 2 I will be discussing the etiology and epidemiology of cardiac arrhythmias. I will discuss some of the causes of this disease, discuss what is cardiac arrhythmias, risk factors associated with the disease and who is at risk for cardiac arrhythmias. I will address some of the themes and key ideas that will be presented in the chapter.
What is cardiac arrhythmias?
Cardiac arrhythmias are an irregular heartbeat of the heart. During an arrhythmia the heart could beat too slow, too fast or just irregular. There are many different types of cardiac arrhythmias, however the two main types are; atrial fibrillation and a life threatening cardiac arrhythmias. Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia, it involves a dysfunction of the two upper chambers of the heart. Cardiac arrhythmias can be observed simply by taking the patients pulse, which would indicate there is an irregular heartbeat. In the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias this could be very catastrophic;...
Arrhythmias cause irregular hearts beats in ways that can be life-threatening but there are a number of different types of arrhythmias that require different interventions. To determine the facts, this paper reviews the relevant literature to provide the etiology and pathogenesis, prevalence, clinical signs and symptoms, diagnostic pathways and optimal therapeutic approaches for paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation and Brady arrhythmias, followed by a summary of the research and important
Forgiveness on human health. In its simplest form, the purpose of the study is to evaluate human psychological stress that might constitute a risk factor for heart disease. Further, the study will also evaluate the impact of forgiveness on heart disease. However, such a simple dissertation clearly demands further definition.

Antipsychotic Medication and the Physical Health Problems of the Patient With Mental Illness More and more attention is now being given to the mental disorders especially in U.S. And due to this increase in attention an increase has also been noticed in the treatment of these mental health issues (Zuvekas, 2005). About 30% of the total U.S. population that is between the ages of 18-52 is being affected by mental health
Congestive Heart Failure CHF Overview: As you know, Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is one of the most common causes of death in the United States. The multifaceted causes and symptoms associated with CHF often leave the health care provider treating the symptoms rather than underlying causes, with near universal need to tailor care to each patient through a sometimes difficult process if elimination. The sometimes-idiosyncratic nature of epidemiology can also leave the
