Heart-y sayingsHave you thought about all the sayings we have about the heartHerersquos a list that some kids came up with

I love you with all my heart

She has broken my heart

He died of a broken heart

He wore his heart on his sleeve

She was heartsick

I give you my heart

His heart leaped into his throat

Her heart missed a beat

You have my heartfelt thanks Can you think of any more Create a table list of 3-4 heart sayings on a separate sheet of paper I guess that over the years people have noticed that when you have a powerful feeling like fear anger or excitement the heart beats faster and so maybe they thought that the heart was where all the strong feelings hang out

Dr Kim says

The changes in the heart and blood vessels which cause heart attacks in

adults are now starting in many more children and

young people They wonrsquot have a heart attack while they are kids but some of the damage is done then

Keep your heart healthy by eating healthy food

exercising getting plenty of sleep and having fun

Blood Pressure Soundsbull When blood pressure is measured a cuff is inflated to constrict an artery so that no blood flows through Since the pressure in the cuff is greater than the

pressure in the artery the artery is closed off and no blood flows throughbull As the cuff pressure is gradually released but the artery is still partially

constricted blood flow resumes Sounds can be heard with a stethoscope because the blood flows turbulently causing audible sounds

bull When enough pressure is released to fully open the artery the blood flows freely and the sounds disappear because smooth flowing blood does not create

sounds Checking Blood Pressure

bull The first sounds that are heard indicate systolic pressure When the sounds stop diastolic pressure has been reached Record your BP on the following page

BLOOD PRESSURE= ------ systolicdiastolic

BLOOD PRESSURE WORKSHEETName Per To PhysicianClinicTechnicianMedical Facility Family memberPlease record the blood pressure and pulse after the examinee has been recumbent for at least 5 minutes and then after standing motionless for 3 minutes A mercury sphygmomanometer or an automated BP device is to be used The pulse and blood pressure should be taken twice daily (morning and afternoon) for three consecutive days

Blood Pressure Graphbull By taking your pulse you can feel that blood pressure fluctuates with each heartbeat The pulse which you feel is actually a pressure wave which travels from your heart throughout the arteriesWe can use the graph created by this pressure wave to identify the component parts of blood pressure bull Label the 2 important parts of this graph

bull On the next page you will be asked to evaluate your heart rate Disregard the 100 and 200 meters Walking in place walking in different areas of your house around the block to your friends with different pace and slow to moderate jogging are great ways to see the changes in your heart rate

aorta - the biggest and longest artery (a blood vessel carrying blood away from the heart) in the body It carries oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the body inferior vena cava - a large vein (a blood vessel carrying blood to the heart) that carries oxygen-poor blood to the right atrium from the lower half of the body left atrium - the left upper chamber of the heart It receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs via the pulmonary vein left ventricle - the left lower chamber of the heart It pumps the blood through the aortic valve into the aorta mitral valve - the valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle It prevents the back-flow of blood from the ventricle to the atrium pulmonary artery - the blood vessel that carries oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs pulmonary valve - the flaps between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery When the ventricle contracts the valve opens causing blood to rush into the pulmonary artery When the ventricle relaxes the valves close preventing the back-flow of blood from the pulmonary artery to the right atrium pulmonary vein - the blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart right atrium - the right upper chamber of the heart It receives oxygen-poor blood from the body through the inferior vena cava and the superior vena cava right ventricle - the right lower chamber of the heart It pumps the blood into the pulmonary artery septum - the muscular wall that separates the left and right sides of the heart superior vena cava - a large vein that carries oxygen-poor blood to the right atrium from the upper parts of the body tricuspid valve - the flaps between the right atrium and the right ventricle It is composed of three leaf-like parts and prevents the back-flow of blood from the ventricle to the atrium

What is a heart murmur When your heart is working normally it sounds quiet and smoothItrsquos like a tap which is turned on enough for the water to flow quietly and smoothly If you turn the tap onto full then the water becomes more turbulent (forceful) and the sound gets louderA heart murmur in young children is when the heart beats quite fast and sounds louder Usually this happens when the child is tired unwell or after exercise The blood flow gets faster and noisierThis is not a health problemA heart murmur can be a sign of a health problem when there is a hole between two parts of the heart and the blood is coming from two directions at once mixing together and causing turbulence and you can hear itThis type of heart murmur may be a problem It depends on how much blood is going in the wrong directionThere may need to be an operation to block off the hole as the blood may not be able to pick up enough oxygen from the lungs to take it all round the body This can mean that kids get tired easily and may not be able to do sport or exercise It can also mean that the body cannot grow tall and strong and the kid stays small and weakIf you have a heart murmur and the doctor doesnrsquot think that there is a problem then donrsquot worry about itIt shouldnrsquot stop you from doing anythingSo get out there and start joining in Your heart needs the exercise
