Name 3 non-modifiable risk factors for cardiopulmonary disease
Genetics
Male sex
Aging
Reduced circulating red blood cell mass relative to an individual’s gender and age. Results in impaired RBC production and could be due to dietary deficiency
Anemia
- Can have hemolysis
- Can be caused by chronic inflammation, neoplasms, bone marrow diseases
S/S of this sided heart failure(left or right) secondary to pulmonary congestion includes: dyspnea, dry cough, orthopnea, wheezing, pulmonary edema, cyanosis, diaphoresis, tachycardia.
Left ventricular failure
S/S of this sided heart failure(left or right) secondary to low cardiac output include: hypotension, tachycardia, dizziness, fatigue, peripheral hypoperfusion
Left ventricular failure
T/F S3 heart sound can be heard with left ventricular failure
True- ventricular gallop
T/F S4 cannot be heard with left ventricular failure
False- 4th heart sound is atrial gallop, can sometimes be heard
What is the most common cause of R ventricular failure?
Left ventricular failure
This sided lung failure involves the following s/s:
Jugular vein distention, fatigue, weight gain, ascites, dependent edema, increased venous peripheral pressure
Right sides ventricular failure
Cor pulmonale is another name for:
Right ventricular failure
Would you heard S3 or S4 with right sided heart failure?
S3
Which side, right or left, presents with more of a pulmonary presentation?
Left: orthopnea, wheezes, cough, tachpnea, dyspnea,
Define orthopnea
SOB/dyspnea relieved with upright position
Define paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
SOB that awakens you from your sleep often in conjunction with heart failure
Patient presents with dyspnea, rales, jugular venous distention, peripheral edema, and fluid in the lungs. What could they have?
CHF
The following are all symptoms of CHF except:
a. paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
b. weight gain
c. pulsus alterans
d. sinus bradycardia
e. peripheral edema
D. Sinus bradycardia
Will have sinu tachycardia
What heart sound indicated a non-compliant left ventricle?
S3
What heart sound is associated with CHF, left ventricular failure, and right ventricular failure?
S3
Described as tightness, indigestion, pressure in chest that diminishes with rest or nitroglycerin
Classic Stable Angina
Female patient enters clinic with c/o nausea, indigestion, discomfort between the shoulder blades and excessive fatigue. It is possible she had:
a. CHF
b. Heartburn
c. Prinzmetal Angina
d. Stable Angina
e. Pericarditis
D. Stable angina
Patient presents with chest discomfort that changes in frequency and severity. He reports he has had this pain while sitting down. What type of angina may he have?
Unstable Angina, not responsive to nitroglycerin
You read a ECG and see an elevated ST segment. The patient states the pain in his chest is most prevalent in the morning and does not precede activity(increase in myocardial O2 demand). What type of angina may he have?
a. Stable
b. Unstable
c. Prinzmetal
C. Prinzmetal- does not occur during predictable level of activity
This type of angina occurs during a predictable level of activity and often associated with an increase in myocardial O2 demand?
Stable
Patients pain appears at rest and worsens with activity. Does not respond to nitroglycerin but does respond NSAIDS.
Pericarditis- not relieved with rest of NTG
Patient has pain/discomfort that is increased with palpation over the chest wall. What might he have? a. pericarditis b. chest wall pain c. pleuritic pain
chest wall pain- MSK in nature
Patient has pain or discomfort with changes of breathing. This pain may be:
a. pleuritic
b. chest wall apin
c. pericarditis
pleuritic
Patient experiences SOB and chest pain with activity that increases in extreme cold whether. Patient requires a bronchodilator or to stop exercises. What might they have?
a. pleuritic pain
b. bronchospasms
c. peircarditis
b
Chest pain described as substernal pressure that can refer to right or left arm, jaw, cervical spine, or between shoulders
Angina
Unstable angina is also called:
Acute Coronary Syndrome/ Acute Myocardial Infarction - chest discomfort accelerating in frequency or severity
Angina is often a precursor to what major cardiac dysfunction?
Heart attack- prolonged symptoms can lead to this, lightheadedness, and squeezing pressure sensation.
What happens to SV, HR, and CO for a hypertensive patient performing exercises?
Increased SV, decreased HR, decreased CO
