The cold water can cause heart attack due to severe vasoconstriction, [2] where the heart has to work harder to pump the same volume of blood throughout the arteries. For people with pre-existing cardiovascular disease, the additional workload can result in myocardial infarction and/or acute heart failure, which ultimately may lead to a cardiac ...
Watson's water hammer pulse, also known as Corrigan's pulse or collapsing pulse, is the medical sign (seen in aortic regurgitation) which describes a pulse that is bounding and forceful, [1] rapidly increasing and subsequently collapsing, [2] as if it were the sound of a water hammer that was causing the pulse.
Heat transfers very well into water, and body heat is therefore lost quickly in water compared to air, [48] even in 'cool' swimming waters around 70 °F (~20 °C). [44] A water temperature of 10 °C (50 °F) can lead to death in as little as one hour, and water temperatures hovering at freezing can lead to death in as little as 15 minutes. [ 44 ]
However, pulse pressure variation as a measure of fluid responsiveness is only valid in patients without spontaneous breaths or arrhythmias. The accuracy of pulse pressure variation also can be compromised in right heart failure, decreased lung or chest wall compliance, and high respiratory rates. [4]
The heartbeat may feel hard, fast, or uneven in their chest. [1] [2] Symptoms include a very fast or irregular heartbeat. Palpitations are a sensory symptom. [1] They are often described as a skipped beat, a rapid flutter, or a pounding in the chest or neck. [1] [2]
