Q&A: electrical heart malfunction. what tests, scans?
Question by JEANNE B: electrical heart malfunction. what tests, scans?
we [me and my husband] went to my HMO so i could see the head of cardiology, Dr X. very peculiar man. started out nice and funny. he asked me about my heart history so i told him:
=unpredictable angina which began when i was 23
=1998 hole in atrial wall via bubble echo
=year of TIAs and visual distortions as thyroid Rx was not at right dose; diagnosed by Johns Hopkins [not non-painful migraines]
=3 heart attacks since thyroid removed in 1997 due to cancer, first one was 2 months after surgery when thyroid Rx not working
=other HMO branch, in hospital overnight to investigate weird heart beats associated with TIAs–flat line 6 times and heart fibrillates itself to start up, thereby churning up blood which goes through the atrial hole in the heart all lumpy, causing the TIAs and visual distortions. when the heart stops, i cannot breathe in or out
=2005 CHF diagnosed, put on Digoxin and Spironlactone [can finally sleep lying down flat and pee 12lbs water overnight on first digoxin dose]. heart is reasonably OK till 2008 when it periodically goes wacko again, palpitations, fluttering, missing beats, extra beats, no beats, aching.
=bad oedema 2009: face hands and legs and feet and ankles…
=lungs fill up at night with fluid and i cough a weird cough for the past 3 years
=[plus I have two swollen spleens [instead of just one] and my liver is swollen at 25cm with 4 masses which HMO says are fatty, Europe says are not. and i have new thyroid tissue regrowth as of 2008 which aches, feels like the cancer did in 1997 and makes fluttery feelings in the blood vessel in my neck base down to my chest, then to my heart. and he knows i am a diabetic 1.5 LADA, with gastroparesis stomach nerve damage, and have lymphoblastic leukaemia since bone/marrow biopsy 2006]
so he tells me: ”forget about your heart history, i can’t access your other records. a heart ultrasound here was fine last year, as well as a nuclear treadmill test. there was no sign of a hole.” he also says ”tests last year had your liver at 18cm, i can’t pay attention to a May MRI from Europe that says it’s 25cm.” [even though i told him i had the 2009 MRI with me] um hellooo ???? forget my heart history? i ask him if a hole can heal, twice, he will not reply.
he gets a bit uppity, feels the swollen liver and spleens, hears something in my lungs. tries to tell me the stomach reflux is making my lungs fill up, except i get reflux maybe once every 10 days and take a Losec that stops it in about 20 minutes, and yet the lung fill up happens EVERY night; he does not get the logic of this statement. I take Cilroton for the gastroparesis [European Rx not available in the USA] as I was taken off Reglan as it gave me terrible side effects and nerve damage after taking it for a over a year.
then asks me if i exercise, i say “i can’t, as i get out of breath and gasping for air just walking from car port to the apt”. so he says, ”OK if you can’t walk i want to see you on a treadmill right now!” like some kind of challenge. makes me do a treadmill test, mostly, i intuitively feel, so he can say f-you there is nothing wrong, his coup on top of last year’s tests, like go away and stop bothering everyone here.
except i can barely do it, gasping, dizzier [dizzy before i began, and all the time], high BP, i can’t keep my feet at the front of treadmill, i’m hanging on, my feet keep drifting back so i am getting more and more stretched out and almost horizontal while struggling to walk and stay upright; they keep telling me to keep my eyes open, and then the tech doing the machine says, ”come here, come here, look at this!” so Dr. X goes over to the machine with the heartbeats graph and the big print out, goes absolutely purple as a beet and has to admit that there is some kind of ”electrical malfunction of the heart”.
he wants me to have a cardiac cauterization in the groin test, but i cannot do iodine in the dye, highly allergic to it.
is there another kind of heart test to show the inner workings of the heart, possible clogged arteries/veins, valves that aren’t working, etc etc and whatever ”electrical malfunction” they are looking for? something that is less invasive and less dangerous with their past propensity to mess up any internal procedure, both in Hawaii and California??? some kind of scan, an MRI, MRA or whatever, colour doppler? anything other than them thrashing about in my veins and heart with catheters?

Answer by Terri
an ekg or holter monitor can dx a heart electrical conduction problem and a cardiac cath shows any blockages in the heart.Sonograms show structural malfunctions of the heart

Electrical wiring estimate / asbestos roof?
Question by AnDy _: Electrical wiring estimate / asbestos roof?
There’s a house I’d like to buy, but it needs some work. To figure out a reasonable price for it I need to know what the repairs are gonna cost me.
Its a 2100sq.ft. home, built in 1936. One of the major things about it is the electrical wiring. Its all knob & tube wiring, so everything needs to be ripped out and replaced.
I was wonering if someone could give me a rough estimate.
The other major thing is the roof, its an asbestos roof that needs to be completely replaced.
Another estimate for that would be appreicated.
If it makes a difference, the house is located in Cincinnati, OH.
Best answer:
Answer by Studious
Copper is really high right now and as you know it’s a lot of labor to rewire an old house I’m guessing you’re looking at a minimum of $ 10-$ 15,000 to rewire the house and another $ 5-$ 7000 to re-roof the house. I would really recommend getting a couple of estimates.

Talk on human body as an electrical system part 1
All action of human body requires ATP energy. The metabolism to produce such energy requires Oxygen as the final electron acceptor. Qi has been quite often mixed up with air. I think this is due to the fact the human body does operate heavily on that of the oxygen energy 氧气. The phenomena of fire is just that of rapid oxidation that we can see due to heat catalyzing a reaction between a substance and that of oxygen in the air. A human blood ph is that of 7.4 an alkaline condition which reflects the need for the body to be at a balanced ph for some enzymes to work. Bronstead lowry definition of an acid is one that has a tendency to donate a proton H+ ion and thus oxidation in contrast I would deduce would be that of a body condition in this ideal alkaline condition. In an acidic state, the body supports anabolic synthesis which has been theorized as an ideal condition for tumours and cancer growth to grow. If there is a lack of O2- in the blood cells, the blood will flow slower due to the lack of repulsion of charges in effect. This is ideal for the oxygenated blood to pump fast from the left side of the body and slow down for the uptake of oxygen at the right side of the body when its oxygen has been given out to the body. Electrical impulses can substitute that of brain impulse and can also trigger an action in the neuro-muscular system. In fact , its most common the lack of innervation (usage), that a muscle fiber atrophies and undergo apoptosis. If we fail to use a …

What kind of gas does an electrical arc put off? The steel or asbestos sheets in the arc chutes cools the gas.?
Question by Kyle: What kind of gas does an electrical arc put off? The steel or asbestos sheets in the arc chutes cools the gas.?
Best answer:
Answer by monophoto
This question appears to relate to the physics involved in interruption within an ‘air magnetic’ circuit breaker.
It’s not so much a gas as it is a plasma. But it does contain gassified metals from the arc chutes and from the contacts.
Two things are happening. First, the design of the circuit breaker is such that the current in the arc flows through a conductor such that a force is created that extends the arc into the arc chutes. Then, the arc chutes cool the arc (plasma) to the point. The combination of extension and cooling leads to extinction of the arc.
