Q

describe the steps of blood pumping through heart

A
  1. venous blood enters the right atrium through the superior and inferior vena cava
  2. blood passes from right atrium -→ right ventricle through the tricuspid valve
  3. when RV contracts, blood flows through pulmonic valve -→: pulmonary artery -→ lungs to exchange o2 and co2
  4. blood returns to the heart from the lungs through pulmonary veins and enters the left atrium
  5. blood flows from LA -→ LV from the mitral (bicuspid) valve
  6. LV contracts and blood gets pushed through aortic valve to the aorta

Q

what is the pleural sac?

A

double-layered membrane that encases each lung

what is the parietal pleura?

A

inner surface of thoracic cavity and diaphragm

28
Q

what is intrapleural pressure?

A

pressure in pleura cavity between visceral and parietal pleura

29
Q

what is the equation for airflow resistance?

A

airflow = P1=P2/resistance

30
Q

what is the equation for pulmonary ventilation (VE)?

A

VE = VT x f

  • f = breathing frequency per minute
31
Q

what are factors affecting pulmonary ventilation?

A

32
Q

hwo does temperature effect oxyhemoglobin disassociation?

A

33
Q

explain the Bohr effect (pH effect)

A
  • red blood cells ability to adapt to changes in the biochemical environment, maximizing hemoglobin-o2 binding capacity in the lungs while simultaneously optimizing o2 delivery to tissues with greatest demand
  • increase in acidity = decrease pH
  • decrease in acidity = increase pH
34
Q

what is the 2, 3-diphosphoglycerate (2, 3 DPG) effect?

A

the ease with which hemoglobin releases oxygen to the tissues is controlled by 2, 3-DPG

  • increase of 2,3-DPG = decreases oxygen affinity and vice versa

what does “incidence” mean?

A

the amount of diagnosis / the population with that condition

40
Q

what is comorbidity/multimorbidity prevalence?

A

simultaneous presence of two or more diseases or medical conditions in a patient

41

detect disease early at the most treatable stage

Q

what are some ways to screen for CVD?

A
  • electrocardiography (ECG/EKG)
  • cardiopulmonary exercise tst
  • echocardiography
  • cardiac CT for calcium scoring
  • coronary CT angiography
  • myocardial perfusion imagin (MPI)
  • coronary catheter angiography
56
Q

what is a coronary CT angiogrpahy (CTA)?

A

a scan that records pictures of your heart

  • before the picture is taken, dye is injected into vein
  • dye highlights any blockages
57
Q

what is myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI)?

A
  • imaging test
  • also called nuclear stress test
  • done to show how well blood flows through the heart muscle and how well the heart muscle is pumping
58
Q

what is a coronary catheter angiography?

A
  • a dye test used to detect heart problems by injecting dye through a catheter
59
Q

what is the framingham risk score for CHD?

A
  • sex-specific equation prediction equations formulated to predict CVD risk according to age, diabetes, smoking, BP, total cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol categories
