Introduction
Pathophysiology can be defined as a study of disordered physiological processes that are
associated with any kind of injury or a disease (Hou & et.al., 2017). It is important to study this
disordered physiological process associated with a disease as it helps nurses in understanding
what kind of medicine should be given to patient. This report will lay emphasis upon a case
study of Deependra Sidhu also known as Deep who suffered from a chest pain that woke him up
at 2 Am feeling breathless. This report will further explore pathophysiology, pharmacology and
psychosocial aspects of case study.
Question-1
Explain the rationale of ECG request. Why would nurse also ask to prepare for blood test? , why
do both ECG and Blood test?
According to case study, it has been examined that patient’s suffering from chest pain as per
identified on the basis of observation. Afterwards, he had taken into hospital and monitor its
current activities every 5-minute. Afterwards, Buddy nurses are helping to wait for medical team
reviews. The rationale of ECG request from specialist side: to look for the actual reason or cause
of chest pain (Iorio, Pozzi & Senni, 2017). In order to evaluate the problems which may be heart-
related such as server tiredness, fainting etc. before doing ECG, it is very important for test the
blood for patient’s because blood tests allows detection of very low level of troponin soon after
the onset of symptoms. Therefore, medical professional has been suggested to do ECG when
occurs a chest pain and identify the actual causes in right time.
The electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the heart’s electrical activities. It became easier
for identifying the abnormalities in heart attack. Nurses would prepare for blood test because if
any kind of problem arises. It may be increased the situation of damage heart muscles, as in heart
attack, entire body releases substances in blood. So that it is important for doing both blood test
and ECG in order to measure the actual level of substances. For example- the most commonly
test done after a heart attack check level of troponin in blood cells.
Question -2
Describe the Pathophysiology of heart failure with reference to causes, progression and
outcomes
Pathophysiology is based on the deranged function in the individual and other organ because
of their diseases. Sometimes, it is to be consider an alteration change in the function as
