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 |
