54 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

Central venous pressure reflects what?

It reflects right ventricle preload a

A CVP of greater than 8 can indicate

Hypervolemia or right side HF

A CVP of less than 2 indicates

A reduction in preload or hypovolemia

Pulmonary artery pressure measures what! ?

The cardiac output and right atrial, PA systolic and diastolic , and pulmonary capillary wedge pressures

In a PAP a pulmonary artery wedge and diastolic pressures are used more because ?

They reflect ventricular preload

An atrial gallop (s4) heard indicates ?

Hypertensive heart disease

An Ventricular gallop (s3) indicates

Heart failure in an adult

Murmurs

Turbulent blood flow through diseased heart valves


That allow regurgitation

A Doppler ultrasound is used to rule out?

Obstruction of blood flow to the extremities or head do to thrombus and to determine if there is atherosclerosis

A grading sound (friction rub ) indicates

Pericarditis

Normal sodium leves

135-145

Normal potassium levels

3.3-4.9

Normal calcium levels

8.9-10.3

Normal magnesium levels

1.3-2.2

Chest pain, dizziness, syncope, LOC changes, palpitations/tachycardia, edema, wt gain, sob, DOE, fatigue

Heart condition

Pressure the heart must pump against to force blood from left side of heart to the aorta and major arteries

Systole

Pressure required to allow filling of the ventricles before the next cycle

Diástole

What can happen if the left ventricle is forced to increase workload placed on the ventricle as it contracts against higher systemic pressure

Left ventricle hyper trophy

For Pts with an uncomplicated hypertension the med initiated is

Thiazide diuretic

For Pts with hypertension and diabetes/HF/cardiovascular disease the meds can be

ACE inhibitors or ARB inhibitors

With Pts with pulmonary diseases and heart cardiovascular heart disease and HF

Beta blockers

Left ventricular hypertrophy, renal failure, MI, HF ,stroke , and impaired vision can all be caused by ?

Prolonged high blood pressure

What test measures EF and is evaluates structure of heart?

Echocardiogram used to diagnosed HF

Pulmonary edema on chest, crackles,wheezes, hemoptysis, SOB, dyspnea, orthopnea


Change in LoC

Left heart failure

Peripheral edema , jugular vein distensión, hepatosplenomegy, increased abd girth (ascites)

Right sided Heart failure

The fraction of blood ejected from the ventricle with each contraction ( volume immediately prior to contraction/ volume of blood in the ventricle immediately after contraction)

Ejection Factor


Normal is 55-65 percent

Deceased contraction ( so decrease blood pumped out) because of weakened muscle of heart


Incomplete emptying of the heart

Systolic HF


Causes severe reduced EF

Decreased filling due to stiff noncompliant muscle. EF is normal cuz the blood that does go in is ejected out just fine

Diastolic HF

Fluid flows from a region of

Higher pressure to one of lower pressure

The amount of blood pumped by each ventricle in liters per min

Cardiac output

The amount of blood ejected with each heart beat

Stroke volume

The pressure generated in the ventricles at the end of distole and the resulting stretching of the muscle fibers

Preload

The amount of resistance to ejection of blood from the ventricle

After load

What are the 6 signs and symptoms of an acute obstruction of arterial blood flow in the extremities

Pain, pallos, puslessness, paresthesia, poikilothermia, and paralysis

In a normal range, the diastole is

Twice as long as the systole

Snaps and clicks can indicated

Opening and closing of diseased valves leaflets


Systolic clicks are high pitched heard in systole

Cramping pain in the leg induced my exercise typically caused by obstruction of the arteries. Pain goes away at rest

Claudication

Persistent pain in the anterior portion of the foot at rest that can worsen at night and indicates significant arterial insufficiency and a critical state of ischemia

Rest pain

In DHF, less blood volume in the ventricles causes what?

Decreased CO

When the HR is rapid the stroke vol does what?

Decreased because the ventricle has less time to fill

Displacement of the apical pulse left and downward from its normal location is caused by what's ?

Left ventricular hypertrophy

An elevation in jugular venous pressure is caused by what?

Right sided HF

Cardiomegaly determines what

Systolic dysfunction

When decreased CO levels leads to inadequate tissue perfusion what can happen

Cardiogenic shock

The pulmonary artery wedge pressure estimates what

Left arterial pressure

An increase in pericardial fluid does what

Raises the pressure within the pericardial sac and compresses the heart.

The sudden drop in BP when going from lying to sitting up or standing

Orthostatic hypertension

A feeling of lightheadedness and dizziness when going from a lying position to a sitting or standing up position

Postural hypotension

Do not take grape fruit or juice if taking

Lovastatin and simvastatin

Measurement of blood pumped out of the ventricles with each heart beat

ejection fraction


Normal is


50-70%

What causes Mi

Atherosclerosis


Occluded coronary artery perfusion > decreased perfusion leads to ischemia and cardiac cell death> decrease oxygen supply increases the demand for oxygen and tachycardia happens and arrhythmia


Cardiac cell death is permanent

S/sx of decreased cardiac output

Tachypnea, SoB,dyspnea, orthopnea,crackles, wheezles,dry and productive cough,decrease Urine output, ascites, fatigue, syncope, edema, jdv s3 gallop, murmurs, cool skin,hypotension, displacement of PMI, delayed cap refill

When there is MI you do CPR or MONA, what is mona

Morphine,oxygen,nitrogen,aspirin

Implies that stats in the ventricles without stimulus through the normal channels of the conduction system, can feel like "skipped a beat"

Premature ventricular complex
