Facts: 1. Cardiac arrest Cessation of normal circulation of blood to failure of heart contract effectively 2.

. Heart attack interruption of blood supply to a part of the heart heart cells die then blockage of coronary artery rupture of plaque ischaemia 3. Cardiac ischaemic Restrict of blood supply to tissues due to shortage of O2 and glucose for cellular metabolism to keep tissues alive 4. Chronic Heart Failure Structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood and that is characterised by specific symptoms (dyspnoea and fatigue) and signs (fluid retention) 5. People with diabetes and have multiple blockage of coronary arteries should undergo CABG. 6. AV block impairment of conduction between atria and ventricles of the heart. 7. Arrhythmias Irregular heart rate or rhythm Normally, electrical impulse that signals my heart contract begins in SA (sinus node natural pacemaker) signal leaves SA node travel to upper atrium Passes AV node then to the ventricles (different nerve signals helps my heart beat faster or slower) Problems due to: AF and VF, Reentry, Heart block or AV block, Atrial tachy or ventricular tachy (fast HR that originates in ventricle), Paroxysmal SV tachy, and Wolff-Parkinson White syndrome Ventricular Fibrillation Disorganised rapid ventricular rhythm that varies in both interval and waveform Diabetes Metabolic disorder characterized by the presence of hyperglycaemia due to defective insulin secretion, defective insulin action or both. Dysglycaemia BG that is abnormal without defining a threshold Complications macrovascular complications (coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, and stroke) and microvascular complications (diabetic nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy). Gastroparesis condition that reduces the ability of the stomach to empty its contents, but there is no blockage (obstruction). Colonization vs infection Colonization (bac present on/in body but no signs and symptom) versus Infection (bacteria causing illness depending on location of infection) Aspiration pneumonia Inflammation of lungs and airways to the lungs (Bronchial tubes) from breathing in foreign materials.
