Cardiovascular pathologies Flashcards
Neural pathway of the heart (4)
- SA node
- AV node
- bundle of HIS
- purkinje fibers
first heart sound. ventricular systole (lubb)
S1
second heart sound. ventricular diastole (dubb)
S2
abnormal heart sound after age of 40
S3
S4 is heard after…
S1
normal heartbeat
sinus rhythm
pulse that is measured directly over the heart
apical pulse
cardiac output CO =
stroke volume SV x heart rate HR
normal blood pressure
120/80 mm Hg
abnormal contraction of the atria causing arrhythmia. Ineffective pumping of blood
atrial fibrillation
pulmonary problem causing blue lips, tongue, ears, mucous membranes
central cyanosis
cardiac problem causing blue fingers, nails, toes, and nose
peripheral cyanosis
S/S of cardiac disease (3)
- fatigue
- pain
- edema
measure of how much blood is pumped out by the L ventricle with each contraction
reduced ejection fraction
leads to loss of mm contraction of the heart
ventricular fibrillation
invasive cardiac test
angiography
noninvasive cardiac test
echocardiography
chest pain caused by ischemia to myocardium
angina pectoris
angina pectoris s/s (3)
- sharp pain
- sudden onset
- overexertion
angina pectoris PT intervention (2)
- rest
2. vasodilator
plaque buildup in the aorta. found mostly in older males
aortic atherosclerosis
aortic atherosclerosis s/s
none “silent disease”
aneurysm
aortic atherosclerosis PT intervention
none. contraindication: heavy lifting
hardening of arteries due to fatty cholesterol plagues
atherosclerosis
atherosclerosis PT intervention
be aware of clot formation
