  4. Decrease in occupational participation
29
Q

Angioplasty

A

Deflated balloon is threaded into a coronary artery and then inflated to widen a block area of the vessel and increased blood flow to the heart; often used in combination with stenting

30
Q

Diagnosis of a cardiac condition usually occurs

A

During or after a medical emergency

31
Q

What may occur after a diagnosis of a cardiac condition

A

Surgical procedure

32
Q

A catheter with the rotating shaver trims away plaque from artery walls

34
Q

CABG

A

Grafting vessels from other parts of the body to the blocked coronary artery in order to reroute blood flow

35
Q

Minimally invasive bypass surgery

A

They use a video monitors and scopes inserted through small incisions in the chest to perform bypasses

36
Q

Transmyocardial Revascularization

The use of lasers to drill approximately one mm diameter holes. Directly into the walls of the heart to relieve severe angina when bypass is not an option

37
Q

Valve replacement

A

A replacement of an abnormal or diseased valve with an artificial valve

58
Q

Occupational therapist should take precautions to prevent_________of the client with cardiac conditions

A

Over exertion

59
Q

When taking care of a client with cardiac conditions the occupational therapist should monitor (2)

A
  1. Heart rate

2. blood pressure regularly

60
Q

Occupational therapy interventions for clients with cardiac conditions (7)

A
  1. Teach energy conservation
  2. Retain ADLs by grading activities to optimize participation without excess strain
