Undoubtedly, for any healthcare administrator, a solid command of multiple clinical terminologies is mandatory. However, coinciding with my position as LVAD coordinator in the cardiology department, I would prefer to choose the heart system for this discussion. Meanwhile, this piece of writing will explore various terminologies related to the cardiovascular system in alliance with incorporating Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) regarding heart failure cases and the beneficial aspects of such understanding for boosting a healthcare career.
The heart is a vital body organ with a complex structure. The functioning paradigm and cure plans of the cardiovascular system can only be understood effectively if sufficient light is thrown on the heart structure. The strong cardiac muscles are encompassed by the myocardium that helps in blood pumping. Left and right atriums are upper chambers that gain deoxygenated blood while lower chambers are termed as ventricles. These ventricles are specialized for blood pumping. Besides these, various valves are present in the heart that regulate and ensure the one-way flow of blood. For example, pulmonary and aortic valves have functions to maintain blood flow. In addition, blood vessels responsible for blood supply are termed as coronary arteries. So, it is crucial for any healthcare administrator to understand these basic terms of the heart system.
Furthermore, the main illness related to the cardiovascular system is heart failure having symptoms like shortening of breath, fluid retention, fatigue, etc. It is a chronic disease that usually occurs due to heart weakness. Systolic and diastolic are two types of heart failure which primarily revolve around the inability of the heart in contraction and relax respectively. However, the treatment in such cases needs change in lifestyles, medication and incorporation of LVAD at an advanced level. The applications of LVAD diminish the risk of further complexities and ease the cure process.
Finally, the deep understanding of body systems owes great impact regarding healthcare careers. It enhances communication skills that help administrators to collaborate with all the staff effectively. In addition, it helps administrator to chalk out complex challenges, planning strategies and reaching the optimal solutions. For example, various technologies like LVADs can easily be executed for better treatment of the patient community which ultimately accelerates administrators’ career.
