Cardio Flashcards
Heart failure
IC: Sindrome que resulta de ___ ventricular; sobrecarga de ____ ou ____; combinados ou ____
disfuncao; volume; pressao; isolados
Heart output proportional to its:
Filling volume
Heart output inversely proportional to:
Resistance against wich it pumps
Systemic oxigen transport is calculated as…
Product of cardiac output and systemic o2 content
Cardiac output is calculated as…
Product of heart rate and stroke volume
Stroke volume dependes on…
PRE-load; AFTER-load; contractility
High-output heart hailure is…
Mantained or increased cardiac output with decreased systemic O2 content or increased demands
Increased sympathetic tone increases secretion of…
epinephrine and noradrenaline; in turn this increases cardiac output
Wich receptors increases HR and myocardical contractility?
B-adrenergic receptors
A-adrenergic receptors causes vaso____
constriction
Chronic exposure to catecholamines leads to…
a decrease in B-adrenergic receptors; Downeregulation
Edema is very frequent in infants with HF (T/F)
False; generally absent; may be passed off as normal weight gain
Many children may pressent abdominal symptoms of HF (T/F)
True; abd pain;nausea; anorexia can be quite common
Cardiomegaly is invariably noted in HF (T/F)
True
Measured on a PA chest x-ray
0.42-0.50 NV
Common rhythm in HF
Gallop (S3)
Holosystolic murmur might signal
advanced dilation; mitral and/or tricuspid regurgitation
Large left to right shunts may have ______ at the X-ray
Exaggeration of the pulmonary arterial vessels
Fluffy perihialr purmonary markings indicate:
Venous congestion
Standard technique for assessing ventricular function:
Ecocardiography
Ventricular function can be quantitated by meassuring: (USG)(2)
Fractional shortening and ejection fraction
Fractional shortening:
[(End-Diastolic - End-Systolic)/End-Diastolic]*100; Normal 28-42
Normal Ejection fraction:
55-65%
Usefulness of magnetic resonance angiography in HF: (5)
Quantifying L&R V function; volume; mass; coronary anatomy; valvular regurgitatino
Hyponatremia in HF is often the result of…
renal water retention
Increased ventricular tension causes the release of…
B-type natriuretic peptide; it might indicate HF or volume overload
Pulmonary embolism or hypertension can cause BNP release (T/F)
TRUE
Noncardiac causes of elevated BNP (10)
Isquemic or hemorragic brain lesion; renal; liver; paraneo; COPD; Sepsis; Burns; Anemia; Metabolic and hormonal abnormalities
