Cardiac Diseases and Rehabilitation Flashcards
The powerful contributor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality
Hypertension
JNC 8: SBP <120 & DBP <80 mmHg
Normal
JNC 8: >60 years old
SBP <150 & DBP <90 mmHg
JNC 8: Stage 1
SBP 130-139 & DBP 80-89 mmHg
JNC 8: <60 years old and > 18 yeards old with CKD or DM
SBP <140 & DBP <90
JNC 8: SBP 120-129 & DBP <80 mmHg
Elevated
JNC 8: Hypertensive Crisis
SBP >180 & DBP >120
JNC 8: SBP >140 & DBP >90 mmHg
Stage 2
Three factors of Acute Coronary Syndrome
Atherosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vasospasm
Narrowing of blood vessels due to fatty plaque formation
Atherosclerosis
Theories behind Atherosclerosis
Intimal Injury
Blood vessel with the highest resistance
Arterioles
Blood vessel with the highest compliance
Vein
Narrowing of arteries due to hardening of the vessel
Arteriosclerosis
What layer of the blood vessel is thick in arteries?
Tunica Media
What layer of the blood vessel contains endothelial cells?
Tunica Intima
The obstruction due to intimal injury that creates clot formation in the blood vessel
Thrombosis
What component of a cigarette is a systemic vasoconstrictor?
Nicotine Factor
Blood vessel with the highest cross-sectional area
Capillaries
Six modifiable factors of CAD
Physical inactivity, tobacco smoking, increase serum cholesterol, increase BP, DM, and Obesity
Four non-modifiable factors of CAD
Age, Male, Family history, and Race
What race has a high risk for CAD?
African-American
The three common manifestations of CAD
Angina, Ischemia and Infarction
“Pre-infarction or Crescendo Angina”
Unstable Angina
Angina occurs during activity
Stable Angina
A cardiac-related chest pain
Angina
“Variant Angina”
Prizmental Angina
A potent vasodilator medicine usually given to patient’s with angina
Nitroglycerin
Angina occurs at rest
Unstable Angina
Angina due to vasospasm of coronary arteries
Prizmental Angina
“New acute MI”
Myocardial Injury
The most common cause of myocardial infarction
Thrombosis
The total occlusion of an artery
Myocardial Infarction
In patients experiencing MI, how long does chest pain lasts?
20 mins to 2 hours
Zone of MI: (+) ST elevation
Infarction and Injury
What is the ultimate complication of MI?
Cardiogenic shock
Zone of MI: (+) ST depression
Ischemia
How much urine output a patient undergoing is cardiogenic shock have?
<30ml/hr
What specific artery is the intra-aortic balloon pump inserted?
Subclavian artery
Zone of MI: (+) Abn Q-wave
Infarction
Five usual distribution of cardiac pain
(L) UE (shoulder, arm, and FA), Jaw, (R) Chest, Epigastric pain, and Back (in between shoulder blades and scapula)
What nerve distribution usually the cardiac pain referred to?
Ulnar distribution
Fist of the chest
(+) Levine Sign
ECG: start of ST segment
J point
ECG: (+) Large acute MI
STEMI
The golden hour of laboratory findings of MI
15-32 hours
Four cardiac enzymes tested in laboratory exams for MI
CKMB, Troponin I, Myoglobin, and LDH
ECG: (+) Small MI
NSTEMI
Cardiac Enzyme: CKMB 5-10%
(+) MI CKMB
Cardiac Enzyme: Myoglobin (+) MI
200-500 μg/ml
Cardiac Enzyme: 100-225 μg/ml
Normal LDH
Cardiac Enzyme: peak 24-36 hours
Troponin I
Cardiac Enzyme: >5-10 μg/ml
(+) MI Troponin I
Cardiac Enzyme: <100 μg/ml
Normal Myoglobin
Cardiac Enzyme: peak 14-36 hours
CKMB
Cardiac Enzyme: Normal CKMB
0.3%
Cardiac Enzyme: Normal Troponin I
0-0.2 μg/ml
Cardiac Enzyme: LDH (+) MI
300-750 μg/ml
PTCA healing time
2 weeks
Most common donor vessel used in CABG
Saphenous Vein
What are the two arteries inserted by catheter in PTCA?
Femoral and Radial artery
Most effective donor vessel used in CABG
Internal mammary artery
Triceps strengthening is postponed until when?
4 weeks post-op
What activities are contraindicated after CABG?
STS or Supine to Long sitting
The three donor vessels in CABG
Saphenous Vein, Internal mammary artery, and Radial artery
Impaired cardiac pump
Heart Failure
Percentage of ejected blood
Ejection Fraction
The clinical syndrome caused by the accumulation of fluid in the pericardial space, resulting in the reduced ventricular filling.
Cardiac Tamponade
What kind of dysfunction has a compromised ventricular contraction?
Systolic Dysfunction
The normal range of Ejection Fraction
55-78%
True or False: There is an increased ejection fraction in diastolic dysfunction
False (no change)
How much ejections fraction decreases in systolic dysfunction?
40%
What kind of dysfunction has a compromised ventricular filling & relaxation?
Diastolic Dysfunction
Right or Left Heart Failure: Jugular Vein Distention
Right
Right or Left Heart Failure: Ortopnea & Trapopnea
Left
Right or Left Heart Failure: SOB
Left
SOP in an upright position
Platypnea
Right or Left Heart Failure: Ascites
Right
Right or Left Heart Failure: Bipedal Edema
Right
Right or Left Heart Failure: Pulmonary Edema
Left
SOP in a supine position
Orthopnea
