cardio Flashcards
what is preload
volume; how%much%blood%coming%back
what is afterload
pressure;how hard the heart works to get blood out
explain the frank sterling rule
what.goes.in.must.come out./.move in.=.squeeze.
harder;ability of heart to contract in response to changes in venous return
increase in venous return-increase in sv
heart first priority

decrease in contractibility results in decreased ability to get rid of the preload–⇒failed starling

trypanosome/chagis
signs of CHF
backwardsfailure,
respiratory signs,
ascites
signs of decreased CO (late onset)
forward failure (exercise intolerance,syncope,prerenal azotemia,cyanosis)
- Exercise.intolerance.may.be.first.sign
what is CHF
- end stage for many heart .diseases,
- pulmonary edema (dogLIside backwards fail common),
- pleural effusion(catL/R fail),
hepatic.congestion/ascites.(RFside.backwards.fail),
.jug. vein.distention(can see%quickly),
cachexia
APPARENCE OF A PATIENT WITH CHF
- Appearance: anxious, open mouth breathing,orthopnea, tachypnea, hyperpnea
- Syncope:exertion/excitement,stiff forelimbs, pee, wake up fine
- Seizure:tonic clonic, defecate, can happen at rest
- Cough:mainstem.bronchi.compression,with CHF or heart fail, pneumonitis.and.vascular.Dz.2°.to.HWD,.non cardiac.(airway,.parenchymal,.pleural.space)
⇒doesnt indicate CHF necessarily
- PE: check mm, CRT (anemia, poor perfusion, differential cyanosis), ab palpate (fluid wave), jug%pulse, chest palpate (precordium),
arterial pulse abnormal (pulse pressure difference, auscultate
define grade 1 murmur
very faint,heard only after lister has turned inmay not be heard in all positions
describe type 2 murmur
quite but heard immeiately after placing a stethoscope on the chest
describe a type 3 murmur
moderate loud
discribe type 4 murmur
loud with palpable thrill (tremor or vibration felt on palpation)
describe grade 5 murmur
very loud with thrill,may be heard when the stethoscope is partly off the chest
describe grade 6 murmur
very loud with thrill .may be heard with the stephoscope entirely off the chest
describe the jug pulse and list causes
- increase in the venous P (RFside.fail(tricuspid dz, pulmonary increase in BP, carval syndrome),
- pericardial.Dz,.
- volume.overload,.
- Cr..mediastinal.mass)
describe concentric hypertrophy
its due to increase in bp
parallel fibers
describe eccentric hypertrophy
increase in volume
outward series fibers
escribe neurohormonal activaion in any cardiac failure
compensatory in any heart failure
- increase in symphathetic tone
- decrease in PNS tone
- activate RAAS and ADH
LIST THE ACE INHIBITORS
- ENALPRIL
- BENAZEPRIL
- LISINOPRIL
WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF ACE INHIBITORS
- VASODILATE (SOME MAY ARTERIO-DILATE)
- MODERATE NEUROHOMONAL ACTIVITY(INHIBIT RAAS)
- DECREASE RESISTANCE IN BLOOD VESSELS (DECREASE PRELOAD AND AFTERLOAD)
- DECREASED WATWER RETENTION (CAUTION IN RENAL FAILURE)
- DCM
- DECREASE BP
LIST THE DIURETICS USED TO TREAT HEART FAILURE
- FUROSEMIDE
- SPIRONOLACTONE
- CHLOTHIAZIDE
- HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE
- FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE IN CHF
- ONCE CONTROLLED, GRADUALLY DECREASE THE DOSE
- +/- ANOTHER DRUG (BENAZAPRIL,ENALAPRIL)
- DECREASE PRELOAD
LIST THE POSITIVE IONOTROPES
- DIGOXIN
- PIMOBENDAN
- DOPAMINE
- DOBUTAMINE
*
DISCUSS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF POSITIVE INOTROPHES
- INCREASES MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTILITY
- GOOD IF YOU HAV MYOCARDIAL FAILURE (MEASURE SHORTENED FRACTION)
- MODERATE EXCESS NEUROHORMONAL ACTIVITY
- DCM
*
DISCUSS DIGOXINE
- IT IS A WEAK INOTROPH
- IT DECREASES CONDUCTION VELOCITY THRU AV
- IT DECREASES THE HEART RATE
- BETER AS AN ANTIARRHYMIC DRUG
- NA/K/ATPASE INHIBITOR
- INCREASE CA
*
WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF DIGOXIN
EVENTHOUGH IT IS GOOD AT DECREASING THE SUPRAVENTRICULAR ARRHYTHMIAS, IT CAUSES VENTRICULAR ARRTHMIAS
IT INCREASES CA IN THE INTRAVENTRICULAR CELLS
DISCUSS PINOBENDAN
IONOTROPH AND VASODILATOR
IT WORKS BY ENHANCEING MYOCARDIAL CELL SENSITIVITY TO ICF CA CAUSING INOTROPIC EFFECTS, INHIBITS PHOSPHOSTERASE 111, ARTERIAL AND VENOUS DILATION,
IT PROLONGS THE SURVIVAL OF THE DCM DOG
IT WORKS IN TWO WAYS;
- IT SENSITISE THE MYOCARDIUM CAUSING THE HEART TO CONTRACT HARDER AND WORKS ON THE PHERIPHERY TO DILATE THE BV
- it decreases the afterload so making the heart work less while increasing contractility to help the heart get the blood out
LIST THE CA CHANNEL BLOCKERS
DILTIAZEM%
DISCUSS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF CA CHANNEL BLOCKERS
- control%rhythm%%
- promote myocardial relaxation with HCM
- slows A-fiber in dogs
- decrease BP
- amlodipine=peripheral (CHF)
- diltiazemI=central (HCM)
list the B blockers
- ATENOLOL
- PROPRANOLOL
- CARVEDILOL
- SOTALOL
list the characteristics of b blockers
- antagonize SNS
- decreases HR and BP
- DECREASE HEART O2 DEMAND
- control rhythm (AIfib,ARVC/Boxers)
- digoxin to decrease HR with A-fiber in dogs
- HCM,DCM
- congenital malformations
- caution with myocardial failure
- n.b it is fantastic in kitty cards with myocardial dz
- it chills stuff up.
the only thing keeping the dog alive is the crazy heart so if u give the b blocker then u might kill the dog
