23
Q

toponin norm

A

0-3

24
Q

bilirubin what does it do

A

break down RBC

25
Q

myoglobin what does it help dx

A

MI

26
Q

ANP what does it do

A

-acts at level of kidney to regulate water and Na reabsorption
in response to atrial dilation

27
Q

BNP what does it measure

A

gold standard for measurement of HF

28
Q

CRP normal

A

<1.0
shows inflammation
CHF, CA infection

29
Q

serum creatinine norm

A

<1.5
high = dec kidney function

30
Q

echocardiogram

A

US of heart
looking for abnormal cardiac anatomy

31
Q

MRI

A

barrier = pacemaker
looks at cardiac morphology/valvular disease

32
Q

PET

A

gold standard for BF measurement and metabolic assessment of heart

33
Q

CT

A

creates cross sectional images of bones and soft tissue
more detailed

34
Q

doppler US

A

noninvasive est BF through

35
Q

CT angiography

A

CT arteries that supply heart

36
Q

cardiac calcium scan

A

cardiac CT - pics of build up of plaque

37
Q

after coronary angiography PT implications

A

mindful of bleeding
they repair partially occluded or occluded coronary artery

38
Q

synchronized electrical cardioversion

A

restores normal sinus rhythm

39
Q

cardiac ablation

A

Heat or cold to destroy cardiac tissue that are causing rapid & irregular heart beats

40
Q

balloon angioplasty

A

Deflated balloon guided to blockage -> inflated to widen lumen and increase bf to heart - > stent placed

41
Q

percutanous

A

Any medical procedure where access to inner organs or other tissues is done via needle-puncture of the skin rather than an invasive method (like a CABG)

42
Q

atherectomy

A

min invasive procedure that cuts away plaque if they cant be tx with stent

43
Q

stent

A

Percutaneous coronary intervention
Used to open narrowed arteries

44
Q

CABG

A

Graft from saphenous vein, internal mammary A, radial artery - know this when treating a pt
monitor hemodynamic stability

45
Q

pericardial window

A

Surgical procedure performed on the sac around the heart
Used to drain symptomatic pericardial effusions

46
Q

valve replacement

A

PT Implications for Replacements
Same as CABG

47
Q

pace maker

A

create artificial action potential to maintain appropriate cardiac conduction/rhythm

48
Q

implatable cardioverter defib

A

Electrical impulse generator capable of cardioversion, defib and pacing of the heart and detects arrhythmias
Implications for PT - know they have one

49
Q

AAA repair

A

Open: large abdominal incision in the abdomen to expose aorta
Endovascular aneurysm repair

50
Q

aneurysm of aorta can lead to

A

subsequent hypovolemic shock, leading to death

51
Q

AAA present as

A

LBP

52
Q

intraaortic balloon pump

A

Increases coronary perfusion
Indicated for cardiogenic shock
Balloon on a catheter → Femoral A to descending Aorta to Aorta
Deflates during ventricular systole
Inflates during ventricular diastole
bc that is when blood flows throug

53
Q

spO2

A

percentage of red bloodcells oxyenated

54
Q

hypoxia vs hypoxemia

A

hypoxemia is low O2 in blood
hypoxia is low O2 in tissue

55
Q

cholesterol to HDL ratio

A

<5
