13. A patient comes to the hospital imaging lab where you work. The patient suffers from a rare genetic condition in which the contractile cells of her heart have limited conductivity. You are asked to perform an ultrasound or echocardiogram of the patient’s heart. As you view the video monitor, what would you expect to observe about the patient’s heart function as you view and analyze the contracting?

Muscle contraction and fatigue prompt:
You are talking with a friend who has recently started an exercise regimen, and they comment that they are planning to quit because they experience muscle soreness following their workouts. In your communication assignment for this week explain why this occurs. You should focus on the molecular mechanism of muscle contraction and how muscles become fatigued. You should also discuss the ways muscles adapt to changing activity levels at the molecular level as you encourage them to increase their fitness level.
