D.O.D #2 - Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack) Flashcards
diaphoretic
sweaty
angioplasty
surgical repair of vessels
Example – BP: 80/40 means what
internal bleeding
severe pain in lower jaw and neck?
symptoms of blood clot
angina
ex.: crushing/squeezing/heavy feeling in chest
angiogram
blood vessel picture; puts dye through femoral artery and records with fluoroscope to see where blockage is in coronary arteries
blood clot in the heart
myocardial infarction
STEMI
ST waves are Elavated which means Myocardial Infaction
elevated troponins
injured heart muscle from heart stress
stroke
blockage or burst in the brain
coronary arteries
arteries in the heart that pump blood to the heart
ischimia
low blood flow
ballon angioplasty
pushes plaque to the side of the vessel (can potentially put in a stent)
cardiac arrest
heart stops
coronary angioplasty
surgical repair of heart vessels (only way to treat a heart attack)
troponin
proteins that causes muscular contractions
atrial fibrilliation
(afib) vessel flutters; they are not working together
How do you diagnose myocardial infarction?
Troponins, angiogram, echo/sono/doppler = sound waves, EKG, or a stress test
blood clot in the brain
aneurism
CABG
coronary, artery, bypass, graft
take unused artery from another place in body, and go around blood clot
cardiopulmonary bypass
stops heart to work on; machine pumps heart for you
acetaminophen
asprin; blood thinner
nitroglyceren
opens veins and arteries to increase blood flow
coronary cathetrization
procedure where tubes are put in your heart
