Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States, meaning that everyone would benefit from becoming more educated on the topic. Take a few minutes to research the cardiovascular system and heart disease and briefly describe both. What are some of the technologies used to diagnose and treat heart disease? Explain.

Various technologies are used.

Explanation:

The cardiovascular system is the system that is responsible for running blood through your veins and keeping blood pumping into your heart. Heart disease is when an artery or multiple arteries of the heart become narrow or clogged with plaque. Many technologies can be used to diagnose heart disease such as laboratory blood work, echocardiogram, electrocardiogram and more. MRI's, CT scans and x-rays may also be used to diagnose heart disease. Many technologies are also used to treat heart disease such as medications like aspirin. Pacemakers may be placed in the heart to regulate the patient's heartbeat and in severe cases, surgeries like triple or quadruple bypass may be necessary in order to thicken the arteries of the heart and/or unclog them by removing the plaque buildup.

the ecg findings of an acute anterior myocardial infarction wall include: st segment elevation in the anterior leads (v3 and v4) at the j point and sometimes in the septal or lateral leads, depending on the extent of the mi. this st segment elevation is concave downward and frequently overwhelms the t wave.
