EXAM ONE Flashcards
NY Heart Association Functional Classification
Functional Class I-IV
Functional Class II
Slight limitation of physical activity. Ordinary activity results in fatigue, palpitations, dyspnea, or angina pain
Functional III
Marked limitation of physical activity. Less than ordinary activity causes fatigue, palpitations, dyspnea or angina pain.
Functional Class IV
Inability to carry out any physical activity without discomfort, symptoms maybe present at rest
Functional Class I
No Limitation of Physical Activity (people dont even know that they have any problems
CAD?
Coronary Artery Disease
CAD (coronary artery disease) results from…..?
From Progressive blockage by atherothrombotic disease
Myocardial Revascularization
Taking LIMA or LITA and using it as a graft
Myocardial revascularization: Coronary Artery bypass grafts (CABG) Patency Rates???
Saphenous Vein Graft: 10-15% occlusion within one month (thrombotic occlusion) and 10 year follow up is 50% occlusion
Internal Mammary Graft Patency rate?
10 year follow up with only 10% occlusion
10-15% occlusion (patency rate) within one month is for what type of occlusion?
A saphenous vein graft and its a thrombotic occlusion
Off-pump revascularization ?
OPCAB: Off-pump coronary artery bypass
Percutaneous coronary intervention
PCI-is a non-surgical procedure that uses a catheter to place a small structure called a stent to open yo the vessels in the heart that have been narrowed by plaque buildup (atherosclerosis)
Other interventions for coronary artery disease: Percutaneous
- PTCA: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
- Transluminal stent {bare metal vs. drug-eluding}
- Percutaneous atherectomy
PTCA?
Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty: minimally invasive procedure to open up blocked coronary arteries which allows blood to circulate unobstructed to the heart muscle.
Other Interventions for CAD
MIDCAB: minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass
TECAB: robotic/totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass
TMR: Transmyocardial revascularization
MIDCAB???
Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass
TECAB
Robotic/totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass
TMR
Transmyocardial revascularization
Complications Ischemic Heart Disease
Left Ventricular aneurysm
Post-infarction ventricular septal rupture
Ischemic mitral regurgitation
Left Ventricual Aneurysm
Coronary occlusion may produce extensive transmutation necrosis
Converses muscle into thin scar tissue
Left Ventricular Aneurysm (linear closure)
Teflon felt is used to close up the ventricle
Left Ventricular Aneurysm (patch)
Purse-string sutures is used
Ventricular Septal Rupture
Usually occurs within 1st week of infarct
Symptoms: pulmonary edema, and cardiogenic shock
Emergency surgery indicated for nearly all (surgical mortality is 30%)
Heart Valves
Stenosis: the opening of the valve becomes smaller thus allowing less blood to flow through
Regurgitation/insufficiency (leaky valve): the valve does not close properly and allows blood to flow backward as well as forward in the heart.
Stenosis
The opening of the valve becomes smaller, thus allowing less blood to flow through
Regurgitation/insufficiency (leaky valve)
The valve does not close properly and it allows blood to flow backwards as well as forwards in the heart
Heart Valve Surgery
Aortic valve replacement
Mitral valve replacement/repair
Tricuspid valve replacement/repair
Surgery for endocarditis
