  2. Heart development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_development

    Cardiac activity is visible beginning at approximately 5 weeks of pregnancy. The human heart begins beating at a rate near the mother's, about 75-80 beats per minute (BPM). The embryonic heart rate (EHR) then accelerates linearly for the first month of beating, peaking at 165-185 BPM during the early 7th week, (early 9th week after the LMP).

  3. Tetralogy of Fallot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetralogy_of_Fallot

    Total surgical repair of TOF is a curative surgery. Different techniques can be used in performing TOF repair. One method to permit pulmonary blood flow post-birth is the stenting of the ductus arterious (DA) through the inducement of a systemic-to-pulmonary shunt. This surgical approach has an 83% success rate.

    The embryonic heart begins beating at around 22 days after conception (5 weeks after the last normal menstrual period, LMP). It starts to beat at a rate near to the mother's which is about 75–80 beats per minute (bpm). The embryonic heart rate then accelerates and reaches a peak rate of 165–185 bpm early in the early 7th week (early 9th ...

    The normal structure of the heart (left) in comparison to two common locations for a ventricular septal defect (right), the most common form of congenital heart defect [1] Specialty: Cardiology: Symptoms: Rapid breathing, bluish skin, poor weight gain, feeling tired [2] Complications: Heart failure [2] Types: Cyanotic heart defects, non ...

  6. Cardiac tamponade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_tamponade

    Cardiac tamponade, also known as pericardial tamponade (/ ˌ t æ m. p ə ˈ n eɪ d / [4]), is a compression of the heart due to pericardial effusion (the build-up of pericardial fluid in the sac around the heart). [2]

  7. Cardiac output - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_output

    Major factors influencing cardiac output – heart rate and stroke volume, both of which are variable. [1]In cardiac physiology, cardiac output (CO), also known as heart output and often denoted by the symbols , ˙, or ˙, [2] is the volumetric flow rate of the heart's pumping output: that is, the volume of blood being pumped by a single ventricle of the heart, per unit time (usually measured ...

  8. Cardiac arrest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_arrest

    Early post-resuscitation care, which may include percutaneous coronary intervention. [130] If one or more links in the chain are missing or delayed, then the chances of survival drop significantly. These protocols are often initiated by a code blue, which usually denotes impending or acute onset of cardiac arrest or respiratory failure. [131]

  9. Heart rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_rate

    The embryonic heart rate then accelerates linearly for the first month of beating, peaking at 165–185 bpm during the early 7th week, (early 9th week after the LMP). This acceleration is approximately 3.3 bpm per day, or about 10 bpm every three days, an increase of 100 bpm in the first month.
