Exam 3: Heart Flashcards
What is systolic pressure?
Exerted when blood is ejected from ventricles
What is diastolic pressure?
Sustained pressure when ventricles relax
What alters BP?
CO, BV, PRTBF
Cardiac output, blood volume, and peripheral resistance to blood flow
What affects does ADH and aldosterone have on the heart?
Increases BP and increases blood volume
What affects does renin angiotensin have on the heart?
IVC
Increased vasoconstriction
What are the major factors that affect BP?
- vessel size
- compliance of the vessel
- circulating fluid volume
- blood viscosity
What are the defining characteristic of unstable angina?
- Chronic chest pain
What causes left sided pulmonary edema?
Left ventricular heart failure
What is an expected finding in clients with PAD
1+ pulse in the lower leg
What is primary hypertension (idiopathic hypertension)?
Strongly linked to enviormental factors with genetic link
What is secondary hypertension?
Results from another disease affecting the renal or endocrine system
What is hypertensive crisis?
Blood pressure over 180/120
What are risk factors for primary hypertension?
- age
- alcohol
- diabetes
- ethnicity
- gender family history
- hyperlipademia
- sedentary
- stress
- Tobacco
What is cardiac output?
Volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute
What is the cardiac output formula?
HR X SV
What is the relationship between CO and BP?
As CO increases, BP also increases
What is the function of troponin?
proteins that are released when the heart muscle has been damaged, such as occurs with a heart attack
What is peripheral artery disease (PAD)?
Obstruction of blood flow to the peripheral arteries
What is the etiology of peripheral artery disease (PAD)?
Atherosclerosis
What are risk factors for PAD?
Modifiable and non modifiable risk factors
What are the risk factors that are modifiable for PAD?
- smoking
-sedentary lifestyle - obesity
- dysrlipemdiemia
- HTN
- diabetes
What are the nonmodifiable risk factors for PAD?
- male
- increasing age
- family history of PAD
What are the clinical manifestation for PAD?
P, CR, CL, PARA, PAL, MA, CE, D/AP
- Pain, cramps, claudication, parathesia, pallor, muscular atrophy, cool extremities, decreased/ a set pulse
What is peripheral venous diasease?
Obstruction of the veins/ blood flow back to the heart
What are the risk factors for peripheral venous disease? (PVD)
- women
- obseity
-increased age - pregnancy
- sedentary lifestyle
What are the clinical manifestations of PVD?
P, C, G, E, FOH, tS, W/AP
- pain and cramps
- gangrene

Clot or other material lodges in the vessels of the lungs
What is a risk factor for venous thromboembolism?
Virchow’s triad
Hypercogulation
Stasis
Endothelial cancer
What is virchow’s triad?
S, HC, ED
Stasis
Hypecoagability endothelial damage
