Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehab Flashcards
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is also known as?
coronary atherosclerotic disease
What are parts of the anatomy of the heart?
- Left and Right Ventricles
- Left and Right Atriums
- Coronary Arteries
- Aorta
- Vena Cava
- Pericardium
- Myocardium
- Endocardium
- Valves
- SA node-pacemaker in right atrium
- P, QRS, T wave
T or F: Current estimates are that 1 in 2 have some type of cardiovascular disease
False; Current estimates are that 1 in 3 have some type of cardiovascular disease
T or F: Cardiovascular disease ranks first among all disease categories
True
T or F: Rehabilitation must be prepared to safely accommodate for the effects of dynamic changes into his or her evaluation and plan of care.
Rehabilitation must be prepared to safely accommodate for the effects of dynamic changes into his or her evaluation and plan of care –Pathologic –Physiologic –Medical –Surgical
What are some controllable risk factors?
•Smoking and tobacco use •Hypercholesterolemia (High blood cholesterol) •Hyperlipidemia (High blood lipids) –Ratio of LDL to HDL •HTN •Triglycerides •Physical inactivity •Obesity •Diabetes •Stress (Life change scale) –Eustress –Distress
What is the name of “good stress”?
Eustress
What are some predisposing risk factors?
•Physical inactivity •Obesity •Body mass index >30 kg (66 lbs) •Abdominal obesity –Men >40 in –Women >35 in •Family History of premature heart disease •Psychosocial factors •Job strain •Ethnic characteristics
What are some major independent risk factors?
•Smoking
•Hypertension (2 x greater chance for MI)
–HTN > 140/90
•Elevated serum cholesterol /total (LDL and HDL)
•Decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL)
–Normal total cholesterol level less than200 mg/dL
–LDL level below 100 mg/dL
•Diabetes mellitus
T or F: Blood pressure at 120/80 is normal.
False; 119/79 or below is normal. 120 is considered prehypertension.
What are some common diagnostic studies for heart disease?
•Blood tests
–CK- MB is an enzyme that shows up in the blood within 4-6 hours
–Troponin is a structural protein whose levels rise with heart damage after 3-6 hours
•Stress Echocardiogram
–Treadmill test
•Nuclear Stress Test
–Treadmill test done with radio active isotope
•Thallium Stress Test
•Electrocardiogram (ECG)
•Echocardiography (Cardiac echo)
•Chest X-ray
–Diagnostic for enlarged heart (CHF)
•Cardiac Catheterization (Coronary Angiography)
–Use of a catheter inserted into the blood vessel and dye is injected into coronary blood vessel
T or F: Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. Half of the deaths due to heart disease in 2009 were men.
True
T or F: Coronary heart disease is the most common type of heart disease. In 2009, 370,000 people died from coronary heart disease.
True
T or F: Every year about 525,000 Americans have a first heart attack. Another 210,000 who have already had one or more heart attacks have another attack.
True
T or F: In 2009, 610,000 people died of heart disease. Heart disease caused 26% of deaths—more than one in every four—in the United States.
True
T or F: In 2010, heart disease will cost the United States $316.4 billion. This total includes the cost of health care services, medications, and lost productivity.
True
What are some CAD signs and symptoms?
•Chest pain –radiation to left side •Shortness of breath •Nausea •Vomiting •Palpitations •Sweating •Women may experience more fatigue symptoms •Can also be silent
What is a reversible ischemic process caused by the temporary inability of coronary arteries to supply sufficient oxygenated blood to cardiac muscle?
Angina pectoris
The frequency of angina pectoris attacks depends on what?
Frequency of attacks depends on degrees of insufficiency, effectiveness of treatment and personality of individual
What are some of the signs and symptoms of angina pectoris?
–Sudden anterior chest pain
–Pressure sensation
–Burning in throat or jaw
–Discomfort between shoulder blades & shortness of breath
What is a multi-step process of the depositing of fatty streaks or plaques on artery wall?
CAD
T or F: Presence of these deposits eventually leads to arterial wall damage and sclerosis
True
What is the general term referring to a thickening of the arteries?
Atherosclerotic Heart Disease Atherosclerosis (ASHD)
What is a loss of elasticity to the arteries referred to?
Atherosclerotic Heart Disease Atherosclerosis (ASHD)
T or F: Atherosclerotic Heart Disease Atherosclerosis (ASHD) doesn’t lead to MI (Myocardial Infarction).
False; Atherosclerotic Heart Disease Atherosclerosis (ASHD) can lead to MI
What is the scientific name for heart attack?
Myocardial Infarction
T or F: A myocardial infarction is caused by an interruption of blood supply to part of the heart causing some of the heart cells to die
True
T or F: A myocardial infarction is due to an occlusion of an coronary artery secondary to a build up of plague resulting in ischemia causing tissue death
True
What is part of the medical management?
•Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) –Sternotomy •Angioplasty –Cardiac Catheterization with/without stent placement •Cardioversion •Cardiac pacemaker –Left side ROM limited secondary to PPM •Cardiac transplant •Valve replacement –Will require medication to prevent blood clots •Medications •Oxygen
What are two types of medical interventions?
Valve Replacement and Pacemaker, Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)
