Left ventricular hypertrophy is a leading cause of sudden cardiac deaths in the adult population. [ 39 ] [ 30 ] This is most commonly the result of longstanding high blood pressure , or hypertension, which has led to maladaptive overgrowth of muscular tissue of the left ventricle , the heart's main pumping chamber. [ 40 ]
Auditory fatigue is defined as a temporary loss of hearing after exposure to sound. This results in a temporary shift of the auditory threshold known as a temporary threshold shift (TTS). The damage can become permanent ( permanent threshold shift , PTS) if sufficient recovery time is not allowed before continued sound exposure. [ 1 ]
Repolarization of the ventricle happens in the opposite direction of depolarization and is negative current, signifying the relaxation of the cardiac muscle of the ventricles. But this negative flow causes a positive T wave; although the cell becomes more negatively charged, the net effect is in the positive direction, and the ECG reports this ...
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a condition affecting repolarization (relaxing) of the heart after a heartbeat, giving rise to an abnormally lengthy QT interval. [7] It results in an increased risk of an irregular heartbeat which can result in fainting, drowning, seizures, or sudden death. [1] These episodes can be triggered by exercise or stress. [6]
A labeled diagram of an action potential.As seen above, repolarization takes place just after the peak of the action potential, when K + ions rush out of the cell.. In neuroscience, repolarization refers to the change in membrane potential that returns it to a negative value just after the depolarization phase of an action potential which has changed the membrane potential to a positive value.
People may have a loss of perception of a narrow range of frequencies or impaired perception of sound including sensitivity to sound or ringing in the ears. [1] When exposure to hazards such as noise occur at work and is associated with hearing loss, it is referred to as occupational hearing loss .
Dementia is a devastating condition that impacts up to 10 percent of older adults. And while there's no cure, getting diagnosed early can help patients get on a treatment plan and families prepare.
Auditory exclusion is a form of temporary loss of hearing occurring under high stress. As such it is related to tunnel vision and "the slowing of time in the mind". [1] [2] [3] Auditory exclusion happens as a result of the physiological effects of the acute stress response, specifically an increased heart rate.
