CAD and MI Cardiology (Benzoni) Flashcards
3 types of hypertension
1) essential
2) secondary
3) malignant
essential HTN treatment
treat via lifestyle modification and meds
secondary HTN treatment
treat the cause
malignant HTN treatment
treat based on the involved organ system and the cause
malignant HTN can cause
CVA, CHF, STEMI etcc
goal BP of essential htn
<140/<90
2 types of hypovolemic shock
absolute (volume loss) hypovolemia
relative hypovolemia
absolute hypovolemia
decrease in volume due to blood or fluid loss
relative hypovolemia
normal BV but size of container decreased
- neurologic, meds, cardiac, psychogenic
treatment aimed at the cause
shock is defined as
inadequate end organ profusion
Absolute hypovolemic shock
- extreme of orthostatic hypotension
- findings vary based on involved organ system: brain = altered mental status, tachycardia = heart (ischemia), no urine output = kidney
which type of shock will have mottled cool skin
absolute hypolovemia
solution for absolute hypovemic shock
fill the tank!
is total blood volume preserved in relative hypovolemic shock?
yes
what is the issue with relative hypovolemic shock?
distribution issue. the total blood volume is preserved but it is not being distrubuted
types of hypovolemic shock
neurogenic, cardiogenic
neurogenic shock
- total BV is preserved
- issue with distrubtion
- loss of sympathetic tone = loss of vasoconstrictor reflex
- occurs at specific spinal cord level and below
- hyperreflexia can later occur
cardiogenic shock
- ischemic or hypertrophic heart
- ischemic: dilated and thin; issue with emptying blood
- hypertropic: thickened and cannot fill with blood
- result is the same from differnt causes
- decreased BF, decreased renal fxn
- decreased CO
RF’s for cardiogenic shock
HTN, DM, cholesterol, ASCVD
cardiogenic shock cont
- distal ischemia from lack of BF
- ischemia causes decreased muscle mass and strength
- cardioac output is already maxed out when the individual is at rest
cardiogenic shock can progress into what disease
myocardial ischemic disease
cause of myocardial ischemic disease
blood supply does not equal the demand
Modifiable RF’s for heart disease
SMOKING, cholesterol, HTN, DM2
non modifiable RFs for heart disease
age, family history, gender, race, DM1
Ischemic disease
- lumina narrows which restricts blood flow to myocardium
- fat is laid down
- heart atrophies over time due to decreased BF which can cause an MI or CVA
mechanism for ischemic disease
vascular hypertrophy! hypertrophy occurs because of HTN, ischemia present, leading to decreased brain fxn, heart failure, decreased kidney fxn
ischemic disease
BP is high, but thickened heart walls has decreased the blood supply in the heart and to the rest of the body
cardiac hypertrophy
can’t fill due to large ventricle size, so it can’t distrubte as much blood to the body
- EKG shows endocardial ischemia
- HR increases to maintain CO
- leads to diastolic failure
