CUMM Flashcards
high output failure
excessive need for CO
treatable
low output failure
impaired ability to pump
systolic failure
decreased contractility = ejection fraction 40%
diastolic failure
smaller ventricular size = impaired filling
pharmacological treatment for heart failure
diuretics digitalis phosphodiesterase inhibitors nitrate ACE inhibitor beta blocker oxygen therapy
surgical treatment for heart failure
intra aortic balloon
VAD
3 I’s
injury
ischemia
infarction
biomarkers
total CK CK-MB myoglobin Trop 1 & 2 LDH
pharmacological treatment for MI
reduce o2 demand increase blood flow beta blockers NTG calcium channel blockers aspirin ACE inhibitor
surgical treatment for MI
coronary bypass
stent
laser revascularization
aspirin
inhibits platelet aggregation
NTG
increase blood flow by dilating coronary arteries
nitrate
vasodilator
mitral valve stenosis
cause- rheumatic fever
valves replaced by fibrous tissue and become stiff
mitral valve regurgitation
left side of heart
pulmonary congestion
