Q

what is coronary steal phenomenon?

A

shunting of blood from ischemic to normally perfused areas of myocardium

Q

how do Nitrates work?

A
  1. decrease intracellular Ca to work directly on heart smooth muscle
  2. this decresaes preload/afterload and decreases O2 demand

Q

Goal of Antiarrhythmic Drugs

A

restore normal rhythm or control abnormal

26
Q

how are antiarrhythmic drugs classified?

A
  1. origin = ventricular/atrial (supraventricular)
  2. pattern/rhythm = fibrillation or flutter
  3. speed/rate = brady or tachycardia
27
Q

Classes of Antiarrhythmic drugs

A

Class II

Class III

Class IV

28
Q

Antiarrhythmic Drug

Class II

A

beta-blocker

try to control rate

29
Q

Antiarrhythmic Drug

Class III

A

Amiodarone

controls rhythm (works by blocking K+ channles to lengthening AP)

**remember blue man

30
Q

what would Amidoarone be used to treat?

A

recurrent V-tachycardia

31
Q

Antiarrhythmic Drugs

Class IV

A

verapril and diltiazem (CCBs) - used for atria

*used to control origin

NOT for pts w/HFrEF

32
Q

what are 2 types of non-pharmacological trxs that increase survival from COPD?

A
  1. smoking cessation
  2. long-term O2 therapy
33
Q

main pharmacology trx for COPD

A

Bronchodilators

34
Q

how are bronchodilators helpful in pts with COPD?

A

increased exercise capacity which can improve QOL

35
Q

Types of Bronchodilators

A
  1. beta 2 agonists
  2. muscarinic antagonists
36
Q

Beta 2 Agonists types

37
Q

SABA info

A

drug = albuterol

used for acute exacerbations

onset 5 min

duration 4-6 hrs

38
Q

LABA info

A

drug = salmeterol

used to maintenance, daily use

duration = 12-24 hrs

39
Q

what do both SABAs and LABAs treat?

A

bronchospasms

40
Q

Common AE for Beta 2 agonists?

A
  1. tremor
  2. tachycardia
  3. hypokalemia (when taken w/thiazide)
41
Q

types of muscarinic antagonists (antimuscarinics)

42

used w/nebulizer

onset = 15-20 min

duration = 6-8 hrs

43
Q

A

ABCDs

*specifically dry mouth

45
Q

what is used to treat severe COPD?

A

PDE-4 Inhibitors

46
Q

how do PDE-4 inhibitors work?

48
Q

Treatments for Cystic Fibrosis

A
  1. CFTR Modulators
  2. Bronchodilators
  3. Mucolytics
49
Q

how do CFTR Modulators work?

A

increase chloride transport = increased regulation of Na+ and water = mucous thinning

50
Q

CFTR Modulators AE

A
  1. GI
  2. HA
  3. *Orkambi = hypotension
51
Q

which mucolytics are primarily used in treating CF?

A

hypertonic saline

dornase alfa

52
Q

Hypertonic Saline notes

A

2-4x daily

almost all pts use them

work by increases salt which increases water in airway = water down mucus = increased function of mucociliary elevator

53
Q

Dornase alfa notes

A

1-2x daily

amost all pts

work by cleveing DNA = decreased viscosity of mucus

AE: chest pain

54
Q

Pulmonary medications Exercise Consideration

A
  1. time PT w/meds
  2. watch for paradoxial breathing
  3. B-agonists and methylxanthines = Increase RHR
  4. watch for R vent failure
  5. pts should always carrier rescue inhaler (especially during PT sessions)
55
Q

what is the most serious complication that can occur from Diabetes?

A

Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy

56
Q

what are the signs of Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy?

A
  1. exercise intolerance (BP and HR response blunted)
  2. orthostatic hypotension
  3. Silent MI
  4. hypoglycemima unawareness
57
Q

what is silent MI?

A

delay in recognizing angina

unexplained fatigue, condusion, dyspnes, N/V, hemoptysis, diaphoresis, dysrrhthmias, edema

58
Q

T1DM Exercise Considerations

A

exercise does not increase glucose uptake, possibly due to increased free fatty acids

59
Q

T1DM + insulin

Exercise Consideration

A
  1. monitor blood glucose with exercise
    • before
    • during
    • after (2 hrs after, possibly middle of night)
  2. make changes in insulin and carb consumption
60
Q

Overall Diabetes Exercise Considerations

A
  1. Proper footwear is essential
  2. avoid high impact activitees for older adults
  3. keep fast acting CHO nearby
  4. no exercise if glucose >300 mg/dL
  5. injest CHO if glucose <70 mg/dL prior to activity
  6. avoid insuling injection sites
  7. illness can increase glucose levels
