cardiovascular disease Flashcards
elevated blood pressure (systolic and diastolic blood pressure is greater than 140/90 mmhg)
hypertension
idiopathic and most common form of hypertension
primary hypertension
hypertension caused by an underlying disease/pre-existing condition
secondary hypertension
normal blood pressure
<120/<80
elevated blood pressure
120/<80
mild or stage 1 blood pressure
130/80
moderate or stage 2 blood pressure
140/90
severe or stage 3 blood pressure
150/100
hypertensive crisis
> 180/>120
hypertensive crisis with target organ damage
htn emergency
hypertensive crisis without target organ damage
htn urgency
s/sx of htn
high bp, nuchal headache (pananakit sa batok), epistaxis (nosebleed), dizziness
s/sx of severe htn
retinal hemorrhage, cotton wool spots, papilledema
complications of htn
coronary disease, renal failure, stroke
drugs that lowers blood pressure by preventing hormone called norepinephrine from tighetining the muscle in walls of smaller arteries; most important and famous drug for htn (example: clonidine)
alpha-blockers
drugs that promotes vasodilation and prevents vasoconstriction (ex: metoprolol)
beta-blockers
drugs that block calcium channel (ex: amlodipine)
calci-block
drugs that targets angiotensin 1 to angiogensin 2 (example: enalapril)
ace (angiotensin converting enzymes)
drugs that blocks receptors that the hormone acts on, sprecifically at1 receptors)
ARBS (angiotensin 2 receptor blockers)
what is dash diet
dietary approaches to stop hypertension
prio nursing dx for htn
decreased cardiac output
episodes of pain and pressure in anterior chest caused by insufficient coronary blood flow
angina pectoris
type of angina pectoris that has a predictable consistent chest pain during exertion and is relieved by rest
stable
type of angina pectoris that is pain at rest
prinzmetal or variant
type of angina pectoris that is unpredictable, frequent and unrelieved by rest
unstable or preinfarction
type of angina pectoris that is intractable, incapacitating, and is a severe chest pain
refractory
most common cause of angina pectoris
atherosclerosis
most common presenting symptom of angina pectoris
chest pain, discomfort, and dyspnea
drug of choice for angina pectoris
anti-anginal drug
also known as ischemic heart disease, partial or complete obstruction of blood flow to the heart muscle
coronary artery disease
most usual cause
atherosclerosis
local accumulation of lipid, fat, deposit, plaques, atheromas, and fibrous tissues along intima later of artery; inflammatory response to artery wall injury
atherosclerosis
4 major risk factors of coronary artery disease
smoking, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes
most common s/sx of cad
chest pain, murmur, bradycardia
drug of choice for cad
antilipemics (simvastatin)
causes inflammation of the endocardium
rheumatic endocarditis
most common cause of rheumatic endocarditis
URTI and pharyngitis
first sign of rheumatic endocarditis
sore throat
most common sign of rheumatic endocarditis
polyarthritis
most important sign of rheumatic endocarditis
carditis (muffled heart, cardiomegaly)
