Cardiovascular Flashcards
Diastolic murmur heard loudest with client in setting position leaning forward
Aortic Regurgitation
Diastolic murmur heard loudest that Apex with the client on their left side
Mitral stenosis
What medication is used to treat PAD?
Pletal (Cilostazol)
What are three good first line agents to treat hypertension and pregnancy?
Labetalol
Nifedipine
Methyldopa
What anti-hypertensive medication’s are safe to use and pregnancy?
Methyldopa (first-line)
Nifedipine
Labetalol
This is characterized by a harsh, high pitched, blowing, holosystolic murmur, and it is auscultated best at the Apex
Mitral regurgitation
A crescendo-decrescendo murmur that is heard at the second intercostal space right sternal border that can radiate to the carotids and down to the Apex. It also increases left ventricular afterload.
Aortic stenosis
A decrescendo blowing, diastolic murmur. It is heard best at the third left intercostal space and when the patient is leaning slightly forward.
Aortic regurgitation
Which anti-hypertensive medications may block beta receptors in the pancreas and delay, recognizing signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia and patients with diabetes?
Beta blockers
What is the triad of symptoms in preeclampsia pregnancy induced hypertension?
Hypertension
Edema (weight gain)
Proteinuria
A systolic murmur that is accompanied by a mid systolic click located at the apical area is a classic finding of?
Mitral valve prolapse
A systolic murmur that is accompanied by a mid systolic click located at the apical area is a classic finding of?
Mitral valve prolapse
Initial evaluation for intermittent claudication would include?
Checking the ankle and brachial blood pressures before and after exercise
This occurs when the mitral valve closes incompletely, which results in a mid systolic click with a late systolic murmur heard best at the Apex
Mitral valve prolapse
