Cardiopulmonary PT Flashcards
The number one cause of death in the US
Cardiovascular disease (CVD)
Most common type of heart disease
Coronary heart disease (CHD)
Process of exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide between air we breathe and blood cells that pass through lungs
Respiration
Process of exchanging air between the atmosphere and lungs
Ventilation
Two common cardiovascular diseases (CVD)
Ischemic conditions
Cardiac muscle dysfunction
Two kinds of lung diseases
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Restrictive lung disease
Insufficient blood flow results in loss of oxygen to tissues due to a blocked blood vessel
CVD Ischemic conditions
Refers to various pathologic conditions associated with heart failure
CVD cardiac muscle dysfunction
Pathologic changes in lung cause abnormality in airflow through bronchial tubes. Productive cough
Obstructive lung disease
Pathologic changes cause volume of air in lungs to be reduced. Nonproductive cough. Most commonly idiopathic origin
Restrictive lung diseases
Group of pulmonary disorders that produce specific physical symptoms
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
The trapping of air in aveoli
Emphysema COPD
Collapse of terminal bronchioles
Peripheral airway disease COPD
Spasm like contraction of bronchi
Bronchial asthma COPD
Dysfunction of mucous glands, causing blockage of bronchi
Cystic fibrosis COPD
