just something i think about, maybe it difficult to answer. i know, from study, that any observer moving along his world-line - in any state of motion - will not himself notice any difference to the rate which time passes for him. example: his heart-rate will feel normal (well, so long as he...

One formula for a person’s maximum heart rate is 220 − x, where x is the person’s age in years for 20 ≤ x ≤ 70. The American Heart Association recommends that when a person exercises, the person should strive for a heart rate that is at least 50% of the maximum and at most 85% of the maximum...

I came across one article, and I've been looking for similar articles for other nations or groups, e.g., EU. Mortality from heart disease apparently spikes around Winter Solstice and Christmas (end of the calendar year), as well as other causes, which may be related, e.g., obesity and diabetes...

Hello. I am trying to write the equation of this heart curve as 'y = '. So the following is my attempt to form that equation: 1 = 1/y (x6y + 3x4y3 - 3x4y + 3x2y5 - x2y4 - 6x2y3 + 3x2y + y7 - 3y5 + 3y3) Here, the graph of the above equation looks like this: Now, next I should write it as 'y =...

I am wondering which you think is the foundation of all sciences, I have no real understanding of either but I have a general idea of it I think so please offer your opinion!

This is about my tabletop game again. Hypothetically speaking, if your heart rate was faster because of an "altered time rate" - anywhere from X2 to significantly more than that times the normal time rate - would that increase your g force tolerance? I'm speaking mainly about a g-force...

I am unsure about the underlined parts of the cardiac cycle. I was taught that the cardiac cycle started when the blood flowed into the atrium, but wouldn't there be a period when both artia and ventricles are at diastole simultaneously? For the second underlined part I was taught and read that...

Okay, so if two identical twins put on a heart rate monitor that after let's say 400 million beats were detected (at 80bpm that's about 10 years) the monitor killed them. Now one gets in a spaceship and the other stays on earth. The one in the spaceship travels at say 95% of the speed of light...

Hello, I read that the rhythmicity of the heart increases due to decreasing in the permeability of SA node to K ions. I don't understand this mechanism, could anyone give me a simple explanation? Thanks!

From meeting of cardiologists in Spain: Study on +135000 people worldwide, researchers interpretation: Note that the study included many residents of third world countries where macronutrient (fats and carbohydrates) over consumption is not common. For biology types...

As I get older I am very closely keeping track of smart watches for their medical purposes. As someone who has heart disease in their family I am very interested in smart watches tracking cardio properties. Seems at last there is now real progress. Does anyone think this is worth getting a...

What is the name for the "stuff" (neither matter nor neutrons) at the heart of a black hole?

My Kepler Bb humanoids have 2 hearts and circulatory systems. If the 2 hearts are out of sync, there is definitely a problem. But I was thinking that a normal heart rate for them might be somewhere in the 40-80 BPM range. But how could they get heart specific EKGs is what I am really wondering...

Homework Statement I am having a bit of trouble interpreting flow charts given in my biology question sets. Given the following stimulus: The question is : In which of the following options does each substance play two different roles in the series of events from plaque ruprture to MI? ADP...

So I am doing a project for an advanced fluids class where I plan to do a CFD analysis of two different prosthetic heart valves, the bi-leaflet valve and the ball and cage (star-edwards). I cannot seem to find the technical specifications or drawings that I need in order to make a good cad...

i would like to be a heart surgeon but what classes should i take? I am in ninth grade and have a 96% average in all my classes but what would help me to get ahead in college?

I have a very simple question that's been driving me nuts. It's biology context, but probably all the physics equates to normal positive displacement pumps. The pressure in and volume of the left ventricle of the heart can be measured experimentally. (For example...

I would just like to know if i have worked out one cardiac cycle and heart rate correctly. I have attached the image of the ecg called 'after exercise' here are my workings out: 1. CARDIAC CYCLE: there are 4 cycles so: 9 (grids) x 0.05 = 0.45 9x 0.05 = 0.45 9x 0.05 = 0.45 9x 0.05 = 0.45...

Hi, I am having trouble filling these correctly! 1. After exercise the [a] pressure remains relatively unchanged while the (B) pressure increases. This is due to the increased cardiac [c] required during exercise. In some circumstances the [d] pressure may actually reduce slightly during...

OK, recently I've been having weird sharp sensations in my chest, it started in the left side but now it happens in the right too, the doctor said it was because of my weight training and that i had to stop, so i stopped but its been over a month now and it's still carrying on, also sometimes i...

What can be the possible causes for sudden increase in heart beat for a boy of 17 years?

Hey fellas and ladies. So I have an issue. I've been exercising regularly for about 3 months now by doing jogging and brisk walking. Just basic cardio to get my terrible heart into shape. The thing is, I can't jog for very long at all without my heart rate jumping up to 170-180+. I know this...

Is it true that weightlifting strengthens your bones, your heart, and your lungs?

Is there a direct correlation between calorie burn and heart rate? If an athlete and a couch potato each weighed 175 lbs and ran a mile in 10 minutes, would they burn the same amount of calories? I would assume the couch potato would have a much higher heart rate during this event. Does that...

can two +ve rhesus parents have a negative rh factor offspring? Can a person have heart on right and two hearts? I know it is rare.

I have a question. If an human have an artificial heart can the artifical heart support 220v? if the answer is yes. Can the human maipulate electricity? maybe is an stupid question but can you answer please

Recently I viewed a short video that recommended reducing sugar in our diets because new research suggests that sugar causes heart disease. What is the status of this research? How convincing is the evidence?

Almost two weeks ago I had a lower rear molar numbed to oblivion, ground down, and caped with a temporary crown. Afterwards that tooth would from time to time get not painful but annoying. A pair of Advil would make things better. During this discomfort I noticed discomfort in my chest area as...

I just started using this heart rate monitor, with the strap around the chest and the watch that you wear. I can't help suspecting that its just following my strides on the treadmill though, and also, if this is possible? How accurate are these monitors anyway, and how do they work? The...

Apparently it has been thought that heart disease is mostly a men's disease. But - Since 1984, more women than men have died each year from heart disease. Heart disease is now the No. 1 killer of women, causing more deaths than all cancers combined! And yet only 56 percent of American women...

To keep it short, I am an Engineering undergrad. As the days go by, I keep coming closer to accepting the fact that I enjoy - and am passionate about - physics more than I am about Engineering. I know it would probably be easier to get a job with an Engineering degree(assumption?), and that...

Homework Statement during a human heart beat, 20g of blood are pushed into the main arteries. This blood is accelerated from a speed of 0.20ms-1 to 0.34ms-1. For a heart pulsing at 70 beats per minute, calculate the average power of the heart pump. Homework Equations KE=1/2mv2 The Attempt at a...

People with congestive heart failure (CHF) are advised by doctors to restrict fluid intake. For example, while 8 cups of fluid per day is recommended for healthy individuals, people with CHF are recommended not to exceed 4 cups a day. The explanation, according to a medical student friend, is so...

I was going to post in another thread with this title but it was closed? I had an MRI of the right shoulder today in an open MRI and went through about 6 cycles of scans (I think it was 6). During the 4th cycle I noticed that my heart rate was increasing. I went into this with a calm demeanor...

I have a school assignment about the physics of the human heart, primarily about the pressures in the ventricles and atriums, what causes the valves to open and what makes blood flow from the atrium to the ventricle, what is the pressure and where? I already know how what makes the heart beat...

I am not positive if this question has a formula behind it because that's how terrible my math is, 1. A hospital Survey indicates that 35% of patients admitted have high blood pressure, 53% have heart trouble, and 22% have both. Find the probability that a patient admitted to this hospital has...
