Q

What are some dental considerations for heart failure?

A
  • Determine the risk vs benefit of treamtent by consulting with physician

  • Antibiotic premedication possble for LVAD
  • Avoid NSAIDS

  • Hypertensive crisis 180/higher or 120/higher
24
Q

What are the clincial predictors of increase perioperative Cardiovascular risk?

A
  • Major: Unstable coronary syndromes, decompensated HF, major arryhthymias, sever valvular disease.
  • Intermediate: HX of ischemic heart disease, HX compendated or prev HF, HX CVD, diabetes mellitus, renal insufficiency
  • Minor RF: Advanced age, abnormal ECG, Rhythm other than sinus uncontrolled HBP
25
Q

What are some dental considerations for Patients with Hypertension ?

A
  • Possibility of sudden acute elevation in BP during dental appts, this can lead to stroke, heart attak and other serious outcomes.
  • lower BP in the afternoon (PM appts preferred)
26
Q

How to best manage stress during a dental appointment?

A
  • By having short morning appointments
27
Q

What are the oral manifestations for hypertension.

A

Causes gingival overgrowth

30
Q

What is Ischemic heart disease ?
