CAD Flashcards
Myocardial oxygen demand is a function of:
HR
SBP
Read this:
normal
Read this:
v-fib
What is a good EF? Bad EF?
good = >50%
bad = <50%
Read this:
v-fib
How is EF calculated?
Stroke volume divided by EDV in LV
Afterload is directly affected by
ventricular dilation
SBP in LV
What type of CAD: rush this mayne to the cath lab
STEMI
What percentage of blockage is considered problematic?
70%
3 factors affecting SV?
preload
afterload
contractility
If a patient had a RV infart, what is a symptom you’d expect to (specific for RV)?
JVD
How is acute coronary syndrome different from STEMI?
ACS: incomplete occlusion and no EKG changes
How do platelets affect plaque rupture?
TXA2 causes vasoconstriction
ADP recruits more platelets
they can reactivate for several weeks
What 2 factors do dr’s manipulate to correct a bad, bad BP?
flow resistant (P=QR)
What type of CAD: dyspnea on exertion, pain on exertion (i.e. walking up the stairs carrying my 34lb backpack) relieved by rest
chronic stable angina
