Answer 26

Helps Both Sides: A biv (biventricular pacemaker) helps coordinate 2 of the hearts 4 chambers proper heart beat so they can pump more effectively. This implanted device is placed in patients with advanced heart failure. Sequential pacing helps move blood through the heart in a stronger progression. Improves quality of life, ability to exercise, decreases hospitalizations, can lengthen life.

Answer 27

Both ventricles: There are three wires. One wire in the right atrium, one wire in the right ventricle and one wire in the left ventricle. The left ventricle wire is not directly in the ventricle, it is placed in the coronary sinus. Pacing the heart this way specially weak heart muscle is more synchronized. Hope that helps.

Answer 28

Heartfailure therapy: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (crt), also called biventricular pacing, uses a special kind of pacemaker -- a biventricular pacemaker -- that is designed to help the ventricles contract more normally. It keeps the right and left ventricles pumping together by sending small electrical impulses through the leads. This therapy has been shown to improve the symptoms of heart failure and quality.

Answer 29

2 wires 2 ventricles: BIV pacer is a pacemaker that has 2 wires that are sychronized to fire at a short time one to the other so that the mechanic of contraction of the heart is more efficient. It is implanted in patients with low ventricular function and electrical conduction abnormalities.

Answer 30

BIV : The device paces both the left and right ventricle allowing for a more efficient pump. It permits people with congestive heart failure to live a better life with decreased hospitalizations.

Answer 31

Probably not free: Carlos, most of the medical publications are by subscription, therefore you should pay an annual fee. You might be able to search some abstracts online. As far as medical book suggest check on some web sites you should be able to buy a used one. Sometimes libraries when they replace the old addition they give them free to anyone who is interested.

Answer 32

Library: Try a medical school library. If you need good basic info for a project try cardiosmart.Org.

Answer 33

Free cardiology info: Libraries, or the American Heart Association or the American College of Cardiology have great patient patient information resources.

Answer 34

Poor movement: Hypo kinesis means poor movement of the heart muscle. Apical septum is the wall between the right and left side towards the tip of the heart. Mild apical septal hypokinesis means that there is mildly depressed function of this territory.

Answer 35

Weak function : There are different ways cardiologist can looks at the heart function and how well is pumps. This is saying that the middle part of the tip of your heart dose bump pump as vigorously as it should. You should be worked up for coronary disease and see a cardiologist to further assess your heart issues.

Answer 36

Heart attack: It usually indicate an old heart attack or it can happen if you have a pacemaker or bundle branch block on ekg.

Answer 37

Motion of the heart: It means that on a test (likely echocardiogram) one small portion of the left ventricle (the "pumping chamber of the heart") doesn't seem to be moving as good as it is supposed to. There are many possible reason for it, but generally the first concern is that the area doesn't receive enough blood supply for blockages in the artery. Require some further testing. It seems a very mild problem, tough.

Answer 38

Hypokinesis: When there is hypokinesis (decreased movement) of a segment in the heart, depending on its severity, it can range from misinterpretation to ischemia. Meaning that the coronary artery that is supplying flow to this might not have procided sufficient blood at a particular point in time. Leading to a heart attack. Dont get alarmed, Not saying you had one. Just different possibilities in 400 characte

Answer 39

Contraction: Those segments of the heart are contracting less than other segments which could be associated with coronary aterí disease.
