Q

what is the bainbridge reflex?

A

with increase in arterial pressure, will get an increase in HR and strength of contraction to prevent blood from “backing up” into system

Q

what is the cascade that happens when renin is released?

A

decreased arterial pressure –>Renin–>renin substrate–>angiotensin I–>angiotensin II (powerful vasoconstrictor) = retention of salt and water, vasoconstriction

Q

what is an indirect effect of angiotensin?

A

causes adrenal glands to secrete aldosterone which increases salt/water reabsorption by kidneys

16
Q

what is a dilated cardiomyopathy

A

ventricles are stretched and enlarged

17
Q

what is a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

A

the ventricle walls are thickened

18
Q

what is restrictive cardiomyopathy?

A

the ventricle walls stiffen and lose flexibility

19
Q

does dilated cadiomyopathy increase or decrease LVEDP?

A

raise

20
Q

does dilated cadiomyopathy increase or decrease force of muscle contraction?

A

decrease

21
Q

is dilated cadiomyopathy concerned with systolic or diastolic?

A

systolic

22
Q

does hypertrophic cadiomyopathy increase or decrease LVEDP?

A

lower

23
Q

does hypertrophic cadiomyopathy increase or decrease force of muscle contraction?

A

increase

24
Q

is hypertrophic cadiomyopathy concerned with systolic or diastolic?

A

diastolic

25
Q

systolic dysfunction in HF addresses problems with _______

A

cardiac output

26
Q

diastolic dysfunction in HF addresses problems with

A

getting blood into the heart

27
Q

what are symptoms of right heart failure?

A

weight gain, peripheral edema, enlarged liver, jugular venous distention

28
Q

what are the symptoms of left heart failure?

A

dyspnea, orthopnea, decreased exercise tolerance

29
Q

would you expect to hear rales with left or right sided heart failure?

A

left side

30
Q

what are some ways the heart compensates for HF?

A

increase MAP, moderate fluid retention, increase LVEDP, decrease stroke volume, decrease contractility

31
Q

What is a diagnostic marker of heart failure?

A

BNP (this inhibits RAAS)

32
Q

what is the HF triple drug cocktail?

A

ACE inhibitor, diuretic, beta-blocker

33
Q

what type of drugs end in “-pines”?

A

Ca+ channel blockers

34
Q

what type of drugs end in “-pril”?

A

ACE inhibitor

35
Q

what drugs do we use to treat angina?

A

nitrates, beta blockers, and Ca channel blockers

36
Q

what 5 drugs should a post-stent patient be on?

A

aspirin, beta-blocker, ACE-inhibitor, blood thinner, and statin

37
Q

what is the purpose of a beta-blocker?

A

reduce blood pressure

38
Q

what is the purpose of an ACE-inhibitor?

A

inhibits vasoconstriction (keeps BP down)

39
Q

what is the purpose of a statin?

A

reduce LDL
