Q

Mitral regurgitation pathophysiology

A 
Volume overload increases LVEDP;
compensatory dilatation of LA&LV
to lower pressures; increased
Preload, LVH, and reduced
Afterload (low resistance of LA
provides unloading of LV) causing
large total SV; MR Begets MR;
leading to contractile dysfunction
with decrease in EF, increase in
LVEDP

37
Q

Swan-ganz catheter gives pressure of

A

left ventricle

38
Q

Acute cardio treatment problem

A

decreased intestinal perfusion and mucosal edema
may markedly slow the rate of drug absorption and therefore the
rate of delivery of drug to the kidney.

61
Q

Transplant contraindications

A

Systemic illness with a life expectancy < 2 years despite heart transplantation.
• Irreversible pulmonary HTN (may consider heart-lung transplant – there is some variation on criteria at different centers).

disease)
• Inadequate social support

64
Q

Who should be involve with crhonic heart failure

A

palliative care

65
Q

Teach patients 2

A

2g sodium, 2L fluid, weight gain 2 lbs take extra lasix

66
Q

Normal Ejection fraction is

A

55-60%

67
Q

what mechanisms does the heart use to compensate for failure

A

frank-starling, neurohormonal (augmented MAP) and ventricular remodeling

68
Q

increase in preload causing increase in stretch leading to increase CO of the heart is a description of what mechanism

A

Frank-Starling Mechanism

69
Q

what is an example of the neurohormonal model of HF

A

reaction of Renin-angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) and sympathetic nervous system

70
Q

RAAS Neurohormonal changes cause sympathetic stimulation what are the short and long term effect

A

short: increases HR and contractility
Long: increase energy expenditure
