Cardiovascular disorders Flashcards
inability of red blood cells to deliver enough oxygen to tissues producing symptoms of fatigue
anemia
transient chest pain during exertion caused by ischemic cardiac muscle; the amount of oxygen supplied to the heart
angina pectoris
abnormal heart rate irregular heart rhythm
Arrhythmia
hardening of the arteries, can lead to coronary artery disease
arteriosclerosis
most common type of arteriosclerosis when deposits from cholesterol in the blood builds up at stress points in the arteries
Atherosclerosis
failure of the left side of the heart to pump effectively, resulting in congestion in the systemic and pulmonary circulatory systems
congestive heart failure
blood clot (thrombus) plaque, air, or gas, fat, tumor cells, tissue, or clumps of bacteria in the bloodstream
Embolus
-pulmonary embolism
-pulmonary infarction
abnormal heart sounds (clicking or swishing) caused by disorders of the valves (leaky valve)
heart murmurs
inability to form blood clots to control bleeding
genetic disease
Hemophilia
sustained elevation of systolic and diastolic blood pressure
Hypertension
death of cardiac muscle cells from ischemia with crushing pain
myocardial infarction
affects the blood supply to the fingers and toes
Raynaud disease
AKA white finger disease
cardiac damage from inflammatory response to a bacterial infection
rheumatic heart disease
rheumatic fever
blood vessels dilate rapidly and blood pressure drops
shock
hypovolemic shock
septic shock
Anaphylactic shock
premature destruction of red blood cells resulting in the sickle shape causing them to not Flow smoothly and clot
genetic
sickle cell
a clot in a vein with inflammation
Thrombophlebitis
clotting in an unbroken vessel deep vein thrombosis
embolus: if it breaks lose
Thrombosis
weakening and widening of vein wall due to backward pressure of blood when valves weaken
varicose veins
AKA varicosity
Hypersensitivity to normally harmless environmental substances
allergy
presence of abnormally large amounts of fluid in the intestinal tissue spaces
edema
Inflammation of the liver, excessive alcohol consumption can lead to fibrosis or cirrhosis
hepatitis
oncogenic and lymphotropic virus replicates in t-cells and macrophages
HIV/AIDS
uncontrolled production of abnormal WBC’s these cells accumulate in the bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen and liver to that these organs do not function properly
leukemia
indentations that remain for a time after pressure is released
pitting adema
