Chapter 17 Flashcards
Most heart failure is caused by
Hypertension
Other causes of heart failure
Myocardial infarction coronary artery disease substance-abuse heart valve disease congenital defects cardiac infections inflammation
Signs and symptoms
Olguria decreased urine output in day Weak pulse Fatigue Weak Angina Paleness Coll extremities
LEFT SIDE HEART FAILURE
Stretching of the muscle cause my blood filling. The left ventricle
Preloaded
Pressure in the aorta that the left ventricle must overcome before blood to move into the aKeta
After load
Average systolic blood pressure in the large artery
Including the aorta
MEAN ARTERIAL PRESSURE
MAP
Average map range
70-100
The map is too low
And organs will not receive enough blood to ensure oxygenation
What happens my map is too high
The left ventricle has to work harder to move the blood
Result is congestion of the logs decreased lung function and difficulty breathing
Blood in the left side of heart
Signs and symptoms of jugular distention enlarged liver and spleen anorexia and nausea distended abdomen swollen hands and fingers increase urine output weight gain
Right by heart failure
The body has ways to compensate for heart failure.
In response to tissue hypoxia the sympathetic nervous system is stimulating and the hormones ——- and Nero epinephrine are released
epinephrine
Sympathetic nervous system stimulation also causes what
Arterial vasoconstriction
Sympathetic nervous system stimulation also called arterial vasoconstriction which release epinephrine which helps maintain the blood pressure and improve blood flow to the tissues
Compensation mechanism for heart failure
Treating the cause of heart failure
Controlling factor is because it’s the worsted
Treating it’s symptoms
Treatment for heart failure
pril medication
ACE inhibitors
First drug prescribed to treat heart failure
ACE INHIBITORS
______pril
ACE INHIBITORS for heart failure
Blocks the effects of epinephrine on the heart
They decrease the heart rate and force of heart contractions which results in a decrease in blood pressure
BETA BLOCKERS
Only the sub stain removal form of______ is used to treat heart failure
Metoprolol
______lol
Betta blockers for heart failure
