Q

EBCT is a noninvasive method to detect … by

A

coronary atherosclerosis by detecting
coronary calcification

Detects the presence of calcium in the
coronary arteries as well as the location,
extent, and density of the deposits and
provides a calcium scoring system

27
Q

MUGA

A

Noninvasive technique to calculate left ventricular

ejection fraction

28
Q

MRI evaluates

A

morphology, cardiac blood flow, and

myocardial contractility

29
Q

MRI used to assess

A

valvular disease, cardiac shunts,
quantification of cardiac flow, and coronary artery
anatomy

30
Q

MRI are similar diagnostic accuracy as

A

PET

31
Q

Radioactive Nuclide Perfusion Imaging is the assessment of

A

coronary perfusion

32
Q

Radioactive Nuclide Perfusion Imaging is commonly used agents include

A

thallium-201 and

technetium-99m (sestamibi)

33
Q

During Radioactive Nuclide Perfusion Imaging, what appears as cold spots on the scan

A

Nonperfused or dead myocardium

34
Q

During radioactive Nuclide Perfusion Imaging, A cold spot immediately after exercise as well as 4
hours afterward is considered

A

irreversibly damaged
(scarred) but an area the reperfuses after 4 hours is
ischemic

35
Q

Sestamibi are

A

More stable

36
Q

Radioactive Nuclide Perfusion Imaging can detect infarcts that are?

A

A few hours old

37
Q

Pharmacologic Stress Testing

A

A physiologic stress test while the

patient remains in a resting state

38
Q

Most common agents used for PST

A

dupyridamole, dobutamine, or

adensoine

39
Q

PST are the same or different than EST?

A

safety is the same

40
Q

Cardiac Catheterization is what type of procedure?

A

Invasive

41
Q

Cardiac Catheterization establishes or conforms a diagnosis of

A

cardiac dysfunction or heart disease,
demonstrates the severity of coronary
artery disease or valvular dysfunction

42
Q

Cardiac Catheterization determines guidelines for

A

optimal

management of the patient

43
Q

Cardiac Catheterization should or should not have PT

A

-Should not, wait a couple day. Do not want to pull fem art plug

44
Q

Caths treatments are usually called

A

percutaneous coronary

intervention

45
Q

WHat is alternative to CABG

A

Caths (Percutaneous coronary intervention )

46
Q

Pt implications for cardiac Catherization

A

Since femoral ARTERY is accessed,pressure needs to be placed on area 4-8
hours after procedure

  • Patients are typically on bedrest with LE inknee immobilizer post-cath
  • Some patients may c/o groin pain
47
Q

Post Cath pts are on what

A
