Q: Summarize the lecture in one minute.

Answer: This video talks about heart diseases and heart attacks, caused by clogged coronary arteries (LCA and RCA), which provide blood to the heart. A plaque contains lipids; fat, cholesterol, and dead while blood cells, which obstruct the blood flow, will build up on the wall of the arteries, which called atherosclerosis, narrowing the vessels supplying blood.

The restriction of blood flow, ischemia, a deprivation of blood flow and oxygen downstream causes heart disease or coronary artery disease. This is one of the causes of a heart failure, when the heart being unable to function.

The symptom of ischemia is strangling chest pain, angina pectoris, that occurs when a plaque keeps growing and ruptures by turbulent blood flow, lipids, thrombogenic material, that exposed to blood immediately forms clot, obstructing the blood vessel. The cells downstream will no longer get oxygen and die, infarction is a primary cause of a heart attack.

A cardiac arrest, not  a heart attack or a heart failure, is dying, or stopping of the heart. People may survive a heart attack, but they will not a cardiac arrest.

普段日本語では言い慣れない言葉ですが、英語の普段の会話には出てきたりします。なぜなら、アメリカでは医学医療分野の情報は日本ほど閉鎖されておらず、医師が患者に対してこういう語彙を使って疾患や症状を説明する場合が多く、患者もまたそれを習い使っています。

Task: Summarize the lecture orally in one minute.

A. The heart sits right in the center of the rib cage and between the two lungs. Below that, there is an important muscle, the diaphragm. By all of the above, called the thorax,  the heart is protected and cased.

The body cells need nutrients oxygen, as well as their waste carbon dioxide to be removed. The main function of the heart is to provide the blood flow.

The functions of the heart are:

1) works as a pump to move blood constantly throughout the body, providing the systemic flow of blood. Blood is going out of the artery, the aorta, coming into a tubing through the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava dragging blood in from all over the body into the heart.

2) also provides the pulmonary flow for blood to drop the waste carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen. Before the heart sends out the blood, the heart sends it over to the lungs; after blood comes back into the heart from the lungs, it is pushed out of the aorta.

3) has blood vessels all over it called coronary vessels that serve the heart itself. This flow of blood falls under the systemic flow.
