Question 1

anatomy ultrasound of the heart, what do they look for?

Accepted Answer

A lot: Another term for this is echocardiogram or echo for short.  We can evaluate the heart function (how does it squeeze and how does it relax).  We can see and evalate the heart valves and look for blockage or leak.  We can look for tumors of the heart, holes in the heart, and clots in the heart.  Echo is extemely important in evaluating function and anatomy of the heart.

Question 2

can you tell me in relation to human anatomy why can't you take certain heart medications with cialis?

Accepted Answer

Dilated vessels: In relation to human anatomy, the veins in your pelvis would dilate so much, your BP would drop and you would go into shock. (we're mainly talking about cialis and nitrates here).

Question 3

how does heart failure affect the kidneys relating to anatomy and physiology?

Accepted Answer

Forward: Failure may compromise blood flow to glomeruli and kidney function. Right sided failure may contribute to venous congestion and edema with some indirect effects to kidneys.

Question 4

what does 'heart - ht/st left' mean on a first trimester scan report? was found in the fetal anatomy section.

Accepted Answer

Heart ; stomach: Heart (ht) and stomach (st) are on the left.

Question 5

would structural heart disease in 22 yr old be ruled out by echo, ecg, cardiac mri, stress ecg, 24h ecg, cardiac coronary anatomy mra?

Accepted Answer

Would hope so: The only test you did not have is nuclear stress test and cardiac ct, but i would think with all these tests you covered most  bases.

Question 6

define non reversible (fixed) defects in hearts?

Accepted Answer

Reversible: We use the terminology with respect to nuclear perfusion images of the heart muscle. When there is an image defect that does not fill in on follow up imaging, we call this nonreversible or fixed. It usually suggests scar of the myocardium rather than temporary decrease in blood flow to the area.

Question 7

how is heart work?

Accepted Answer

The heart is a pump.: Two pumps, really. One to the lungs, one to the whole body. The pump squeezes the blood. Valves make sure it goes the right direction. The energy of the heart squeezing turns into the energy of the blood moving.

Question 8

how to heal a heart?

Accepted Answer

?: A broken heart? Only time can heal a broken heart.

Question 9

why my heart go so fast?

Accepted Answer

Not enough info.: Are you at rest or exerting yourself? How rapid is your heart rate? Do you have symptoms corresponding to this- chest pain, palpitations, etc. ? How is your health in general? Are you taking medications that could impact heart rate? Is this something that is occurring acutely or a chronic condition? Don't have enough info to tell you.

Question 10

i feel hert under my heart?

Accepted Answer

Heart ache : Do you mean you have pain under your heart, on the left side?  If yes, this could be from a pulmonary/lung condition (pleurisy), cardiac/heart condition, gastrointestinal (stomach or esophagus), or from a musculature (bone/ribs) source.  There are many other causes.  Most serious would be a heart attack, rare at 32, but not impossible.
