Supporting text defines deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and covers causes, consequences and main risk factors. Symptoms, complications and treatment options of DVT and pulmonary embolism are also discussed.Size is 20" W by 26" H.
LFA #98952 Chart - The Vascular System and Viscera.
Classic illustrations by Peter Bachin. Shows system on body. Illustrates heart (right interior, left interior, and posterior views), heart in systole, female pelvis, base of the brain, and branches of abdominal aorta and portal vein. Size is 20" W by 26" H.
LFA #99878 Chart - Anatomy of the Heart.
Shows anterior, posterior and superior views of the heart. Also illustrates right and left ventricles, heart valves and blood circulation. Provides cross section and anterior view of the heart and lungs. Size is 20" W by 26" H.
LFA #99912 Chart - Heart Disease.
With updated images and text and improved design elements, this new edition chart provides an easy-to-understand overview of the important anatomical aspects of heart disease. The progression of heart disease is shown in 3 stages, each with an anatomical image of the surface or cross-section of the heart, a cross-section of an artery and a cross-section of heart wall. The stages show how a narrowed artery leads to ischemia; a blocked artery leads to a myocardial infarction (heart attack) and shows the recovery period with collateral blood supply. Also shows heart disease in hypertension which can lead to hyprertrophy and dilation of the left ventricle. Shows and describes congestive heart failure, mitral valve prolapse and the effects of aging on the heart. For comparison, the chart also contains illustrations of normal heart anatomy, including anterior surface and across-sections of the heart. Also shows the systems coronary arteries on the heart and a cross-section of a normal coronary artery. Size is 20" W by 26" H.

Describes common cardiac arrhymias (abnormal heart rates & rhythms) tachycardia, bradycardia, atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrythmias. Shows the sites of common cardiac arrhythmias by section of the heart: sinus node, ventricular, atrial and junctional arrhythnmas, as well as atrioventricular (AV) blocks. Defines and shows the following common congenital (present at birth) defects: patent ductus arteriosus, atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect. Textually and visually shows acquired heart defects myocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, cardiomyopathy and Kawaskis disease. Describes high cholesterol, coronary heart disease (CAD) and hypertension (high blood pressure). Shows how cholesterol is transported in the blood, the structure of a typical lipoprotein (which carries the cholesterol throughout the body), and the consequence of high cholesterol atherosclerosis plaque clogged arteries. Size is 20" W by 26" H.
