Cardio Flashcards
What does the left circumflex artery supply
Left ventricular wall
What does the marginal branch supply
Right ventricle
What does the posterior descending artery supply
Posterior and inferior left ventricle
Calculate map
1/3 systolic + 2/3 diastolic
Name the three layers of arteries and veins
Intima media adventitia
What is the aorta is blood supply
Vasa vasorum
Inotropy
Myocardial contraction
Lusitropy
Myocardial relaxion
Chronotropy
SA node firing
Dromotropy
AV mode conduction velocity
Me neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nervous system
Norepinephrine
Where is renin released from
The kidneys
Three reasons why am renin is released
Low blood pressure
low sodium
norepinephrine stimulation
Where is angiotensinogen made
Liver
Four things that angiotensin II does
Smooth muscle construction
water resorption
ADH release
aldosterone release
Purpose of aldosterone
Triggers renal sodium and water resorption and potassium excretion
Recommended daily allowance of sodium per day
1500 mg per day
How much do most antihypertensive meds drop blood pressure
7-13 / 7-8
Mechanism of action of diuretics
Inhibits the NaCl pump on the distal convoluted tubule leading to increased sodium excretion and water excretion
Class of HCTZ
Diuretic
Side effect of HCTZ
Hypokalemia
Mechanism of action of potassium sparing diuretics
Block sodium channels in the distal nephron
Midamore
Amiloride
Potassium sparing diuretics
Dyreniun
Triamterene
Potassium sparing diuretics
Side effect of potassium sparing diuretics
Hyperkalemia
Class of antihypertensives used and CHF
Loop diuretics
Mechanism of action of Loop diuretics
Blocks sodium potassium chloride transporter in the loop of Henley. Decreased sodium reabsorption and thus less watery absorption
Ladin
Furosemide
Loop diuretic
Side effect of Loop diuretics
Dehydration leaving to Renal failure
Demedex
Torsemide
Loop diuretic
