Cardiac Flashcards
Primary cause of death and disability in the US
- CHA (coronary heart disease)
1 out of every (?) deaths are caused by CHD
5
based on the slides what has is the most valuable modifiable risk factor
diet
Essential substance required for synthesis of:
Cell membranes
Steroid hormones
Multiple other compounds utilized in daily physiological processes
cholesterol
Transport cholesterol and triglycerides
Lipid proteins
Transport dietary exogenous triglycerides (TG) and cholesterol from the
intestines to the liver
Chylomicrons
Transport endogenous cholesterol from the tissues to the liver
HDL
Transport TG & cholesterol from liver into circulation
VLDL
Transport TG & cholesterol within circulation
LDL
total cholesterol
TC: HDL+LDL+VDL
Good cholesterol
HDL
TG are elevated when
non fasting state
when fasting what cant you have
coffee
cum
when fasting can you have water
yes
V-LDL carries what
primarily TG
what is the good Apolipoprotein
A-1
Responsible for reverse cholesterol transport
HDL
Fatty material and plaque are deposited in the wall of an artery
Atherogenesis
what is the initial stage of Atherogenesis
vesicle inflammation
most TG are found in what lipid protein
V-LDL
how to calculate V- LDL
TG/5
Friedewald equation
Total cholesterol= HDL+LDL+ VLDL
normal Total cholesterol
< 200 mg/dl
Normal HDL
> 40 mg/ dl
Normal V-LDL
<30 mg/ dl
Normal LDL
< 130 mg/dl
Normal TG levels
< 150 mg/dl
3 issues on EKG that would indicate an oh shit
- T wave inversion
- ST elevation
- Abnormal Q wave
T wave inversion indicates what
ischemia
ST elevation indicates
acute MI
