New York Heart Association Classifications
|
Functional capacity of heart in which physicians and researches accept as a standard for classification of cadiac conditions
|
|
|
Functional Classifications
|
Doctor's estimate of a person's symptoms
Estimate of what heart will allow person to do Class I: no real losses Class II, III Class IV: inability to carry any activity without discomfort |
|
|
Therapeutic Classes
|
Reflects the amount of physical activity recommended by the treating cardiologist considering all factors
Class A: physical activity doesn't need restriction Class B, C, D Class E: confined to bed, chair or wheelchair |
|
|
METS
|
Metabolic Equivalent
1-10 Leveling Estimate energy expenditure of physical activity in terms of oxygen consumption required to accomplish a task Correspond to amount of oxygen required to perform given activity |
|
|
Anginal Syndrome
|
temporary
Some don't subside- Cardiainficiency Rheumatic: inflammation, degeneration and swelling of connected tissue |
|
|
Rheumatic Carditis
|
Inefficient pumping
Individual develops strep Damage to heart remains after strep infection goes away Inefficient pumping Heart can't propel enough blood |
|
|
Cor Pulmonale
|
Heart/Lung condition
Cor: heart Pulmonale: lungs |
|
|
Cor Obstructive Pulmonale Disease (COPD)
|
Chronic
Asthma, Emphysema, Bronchitis Affects bloods ability to pump through lungs Part of heart- strain on right side -> enlarged: heart is working too hard |
|
|
Cardiovascular
|
Umbrella for all of heart and entire system
Distribute oxygen to every live tissue Blood removes byproducts/wastes/hormones |
|
|
Myocardio infarction
|
Heart attack
|
|
|
Angina Pectoris
|
Chest pain
Heart is not getting enough blood- which carries oxygen Form of ischemia |
|
|
Occlusive Arterial Disease
|
type of cardiovascular disease
|
|
|
Angioplasty
|
Stent is sent through artery to blockage and then pushes open plaque
Repair of artery |
|
|
Stent
|
metallic cage into artery by catheter
Released into & open up artery |
|
|
Endartectomy
|
Removal of interior Artery
|
|
|
CVA
|
cerebral vascular accident
Not necessarily TBI stroke insufficient blood flow to the brain |
|
|
Arteries
|
Aorta- largest artery in body
Take blood away from heart All carry oxygenated blood except Pulmonary Artery Pulmonaorta- Right Heart Red coloring |
|
|
Veins
|
Vena Cava- largest vein in body
Take blood to heart Blue-ish tint All carry deoxygenated blood except Pulmonary Vein Gives up oxygen Pulmonary Vein- Right Heart |
|
|
CHF
|
Congestive Heart Failure
Due to heart having difficulty pumping sufficient oxygen to the body Fluid builds up leads to Scarring |
|
|
Vasodilators
|
Drugs that cause vessels to expand
Alcohol Nitroglycerine |
|
|
Vasoconstrictors
|
Drugs that cause vessels to constrict
Nicotine Visine |
|
|
Intermittent Claudication
|
Temporary Form of ischemia
Example: legs fall asleep due to inability to receive oxygen rich blood required during exercise May not occur under certain conditions then acts up and goes away when stop activity |
|
|
Atherosclerosis
|
Same as arteriosclerosis except takes place in one of larger arteries
May be localized Narrows artery Leads to ischemia suffering: pins and needles, pain, numbness, fatigue |
|
|
Arteriosclerosis
|
Generalized condition throughout body
Scarring of arteries, build up of fluids, plaque, cholesterol, fats deposits inside vessels on walls Thinning of the walls of the artery Artery becomes rougher, can cause clot don't pump blood as well- arteries stiffer lead to occlusion |
|
|
Rheumatic Fever
|
Inflammation of the heart from infection
|
|
|
Left Heart Systemic
|
Left ventricle to Right Atrium to all organs except Lungs
|
|
|
Right Heart Pulmonary
|
Right ventricle to Left atrium through Lungs
|
|
|
Myocardium
|
Smooth muscle- has mind of its own
|
|
|
Heart murmur
|
Regurgitation
4 valves in heart blood enters in wrong direction |
|
|
Pericarditis
|
outside/perimeter inflammation of heart
|
|
|
Endocarditis
|
Inside inflammation of heart damage
Destructive to other changes in tissue |
|
|
Reduced Blood Supply Symptoms
|
Intermittent Claudication
Angina Pectos Vasodilator |
|
|
Narrowing Vessels
|
Arteriosclerosis
Artherosclerosis Cor pulmonale CHF |
|
|
Thrombosis
|
arteries get occluded and then a clot forms
Clot occurs at site of narrowing |
|
|
Embolism
|
Clot that forms somewhere but then traveled and got stuck in another place
Think: Emigrant |
|
|
Aneurysm
|
Ballooning of an artery
Weak arterior walls something you're born with and may never cause a problem |
|
|
Hemorrhage
|
Exploding of an aneurysm or vessel
Artery is broken |
|
|
Focal Occlusion
|
Tumor putting pressure on another vessel or tissue
|
|
|
Varicose Veins
|
Valves not completely closed
Results in back up of blood and puddles Painful |
|
|
Phlebitis
|
Vein inflammation
Can lead to thromophibitis then lead to Embuli Bacteria that's irritating vein |
|
|
Buergers
|
inflammatory changes in arterior walls
lead to amputations |
|
|
Raynauds
|
increase or decrease extremities
Veins contract and result in less blood flow False message Bad in winter |
|
|
Vasculopathy
|
vascular disease
|
|
|
Peripheral Vascular Disease
|
problem getting blood circulation to periphery of body
example: arms, legs, nose |
|
|
Peripherineurapathy

Not getting enough circulation
Death to nerves Many people who have this- have diabetes and peripherovascular disease Motor and sensory nerves impacted |
