Patient instructed in Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is when the heart vessels become narrow, which decreases the blood flow to the heart muscle. The narrowing of the heart vessels can be caused by plaque build-up from high cholesterol, fat, and calcium. The decrease in blood flow decreases the oxygenation of the heart muscle and leads to heart damage.
SN instructed about the Lifevest wearable defibrillator . Is a treatment option for sudden cardiac arrest that offers patients advanced protection and monitoring as well as improved quality of life. The Lifevest is the first wearable defibrillator. Unlike an implantable cardioverter defibrillator ( ICD ), the Lifevest is worn outside the body rather than implanted in the chest. This device continuously monitors the patient's heart with dry, non-adhesive sensing electrodes to detect life - threatening abnormal heart rhythms. If a life - threatening rhythm is detected, the device alerts the patient prior to delivering a treatment shock, and thus allows a conscious patient to delay the treatment shock. If the patient becomes unconscious, the device releases a Blue™ gel over the therapy electrodes and delivers an electrical shock to restore normal rhythm.
