Chapter 10- Heart Flashcards
Condition involving the arteries supplying myocardium
Narrowing leads to ischemia
Coronary heart disease
Chest pain after exertion
Due to decreased O2 to myocardium
Angina pectoris
Death of myocardial tissue
Caused by ischemia and infarct
Myocardial infarction
Most prevalent cardiovascular disorder in US
Hypertensive heart disease
Right sided heart failure
Results in enlargement of right ventricle as a sequel to primary lung disease
For pulmonale
Fluid shifts to extravascular spaces in the lungs
Pulmonary edema
Acute/chronic inflammation of the serosa
Pericarditis
Inflammation of muscular layer
Myocarditis
Inflammation of the lining and valves
Endocarditis
Systemic disease of joints and heart
Antibodies formed by strep and cause inflammation and vegetation to form on heart valves
Rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease
Acquired or congenital disorder that can involve any of the four valves
Valvular heart disease
Murmur
Mitral stenosis
Fails to close completely
Mitral insufficiency
Click murmur
Mitral valve prolapse
Disturbances in conduction system of heart
Arrhythmias
Collapse of cardiovascular system, leads to inadequate perfusion; many causes of shock
Shock
Heart fails to pump, usually associated with MI
Cardiogenic shock
Coronary vessel breaks or heart muscle ruptures; blood is trapped in pericardial sac
Cardiac tramponade
Vascular system is responsible for supplying tissues with blood and containin O2 and nutrients.
Vascular conditions
Clots of aggregated material, occlude vessel
Emboli (embolism)
Fatty plaque of arterial tunica intimate
Atherosclerosis
Weakening and dilation of wall of artery
Aneurysm
Inflammation of vein
Phlebitis
Inflammation of vein with clot formation
Thrombophlebitis
Vasospastic disease of fingers, hands, and feet
Raynaud disease
Low red blood cells or hemoglobin
Low ability to Cary O2
Anemias
