death of the affected muscle that triggers what is referred to as a myocardial infarction or heart attack. The extent of damage depends on whether the blockage affects a smaller branch artery or the main coronary artery (Roberts, 2015) – with the former affecting a smaller area of heart muscle. This particular blockage, according to WebMD (2017), could amongst other things result in heart failure, heart rhythms that are either abnormal or irregular, damage to critical organs like the liver or kidney as a consequence of cardiogenic shock, sudden halting of the heartbeat (cardiac death), etc. In essence, after blood poor in oxygen concentration leaves the… Continue Reading...
obstruction impedes blood flow across coronary arteries. The complete cut- off of blood flow leads to a heart attack (or myocardial infarction, in medical terms). CAD takes place when coronary arteries are partly obstructed or hindered, thus cutting off oxygen supply to heart muscles (i.e., myocardial ischemia). When the blockage is temporary or partial, angina (chest pain or pressure) may occur. The sudden, complete cut- off of blood flow due to the blockage leads to myocardial infarction (Milto, Costello, Davidson & Lerner, 2013).
CAD is a condition that sets it from a rather young age, a fact not many are aware of. Prior to adolescence, the walls… Continue Reading...

hospital payments by 1% in case of extremely high rates of avoidable re-admissions for illnesses such as heart failure, heart attack or pneumonia. (Eijkenaar et.al 2013)
The Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are one of the best known groups of providers who accept the role of coordinating health care and hold themselves accountable for the quality of services they render. (Barello et.al 2012)
The Office of Personnel Management was created under the Civil Service Reform Act in 1978. Some of the functions of this office included: Overseeing the human resource management of the Merit Systems Protection Board and prevent abuse of office. (Eijkenaar et.al 2013) The act also had provision… Continue Reading...
of the community on the possible links between diabetes and the cardiovascular heart diseases. It is noted that diabetes often occurs in people with hypertension, a factor that increases the risk of stroke and heart attack (Barhum L., 2017). It is also as screening that will be done at a basic level with the minimum medical appliances and provisions as can be easily carried to the field where other activities are taking place. This is to further educate the community that the screening of type two diabetes is not necessarily an intrusive and complex process. The screening will specifically target the Hispanic population since it is estimated that they account for one of the highest rates of diabetes, in California, where the screening will… Continue Reading...
However, why such disproportionate mortality occurs is yet to be explained (Bernard, 2016). Medicare/VA dual-eligible former servicemen who have suffered heart attacks and avail themselves of both benefits go through more comprehensive cardiac procedures but fail to gain any survival advantages over those availing themselves of only VA. Once again, the negative impacts of more invasive process use by physicians not part of the VA system remains unexplored.
Increased healthcare alternatives can have a negative influence on certain veterans' quality of care in ways apart from fragmented care. Private practitioners might be ill-equipped to treat veterans' issues. For instance, the Pennsylvanian Reaching Rural Veterans program discovered that private primary care… Continue Reading...
