HEART CONDITIONS CHART - STYRENE PLASTIC

Contains a large image of a normal heart for easy comparison with these important cardiac conditions. Visually and textually describes heart murmurs, cardiac arrhythmias, congenital heart defects, acquired heart defects and high cholesterol & its consequences. Specifically:

Defines heart murmurs and their causes. Shows coarctation of the aorta, ventricular septal defect and mitral valve prolapse.

Describes common cardiac arrhymias (abnormal heart rates & rhythms) – tachycardia, bradycardia, atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrythmias. Shows the sites of common cardiac arrhythmias by section of the heart: sinus node, ventricular, atrial and junctional arrhythnmas, as well as atrioventricular (AV) blocks.

Defines and shows the following common congenital (present at birth) defects: patent ductus arteriosus, atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect.

Textually and visually shows acquired heart defects— myocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, cardiomyopathy and Kawaski's disease.

Describes high cholesterol, coronary heart disease (CAD) and hypertension (high blood pressure). Shows how cholesterol is transported in the blood, the structure of a typical lipoprotein (which carries the cholesterol throughout the body), and the consequence of high cholesterol – atherosclerosis – plaque clogged arteries.
