HOSA(Heart) Flashcards
Starts asymptomatic; then progresses to pain of angina pectoris; goes to burning, crushing, squeezing, radiating to arm/neck/jaw pain; nausea, vomiting and weakness(Involves arteries supplying myocardium)
Coronary Artery Disease(CAD)
Sudden onset of left side chest pain; may radiate to left arm/back; dyspnea, hypertension and arrythmias(Reduced oxygen supply to myocardium)
Angina Pectoris
Death of myocardial tissue caused by development of ischemia
Myocardial Infarction(MI)
Sudden, unexpected cessation of cardiac activity
Cardiac Arrest
Abnormally high blood pressure
Essential\Primary Hypertension
Life threatening, severe form of hypertension
Malignant Hypertension
Acute or chronic inability of heart to pump enough blood
Congestive Heart Failure(CHF)
Right sided heart disease
Cor Pulmonale
Fluid shift into extravascular spaces of lungs
Pulmonary Edema
Noninflammatory disease of cardiac muscle resulting in enlargement of myocardium and ventricular dysfunction
Cardiomyopathy
Acute or chronic inflammation of pericardium(the sac enclosing/protecting the heart)
Pericarditis
Inflammation of muscular walls of heart
Myocarditis
Inflammation of lining and valves of heart
Endocarditis
Systemic inflammatory and autoimmune disease involving joints and cardiac tissue
Rheumatic Fever
Cardiac manifestations that follow rheumatic fever
Rheumatic Heart Disease
Hardening of cusps of mitral valve that prevent complete and normal opening for passage of blood from left atrium to the left ventricle
Mitral Stenosis
Mitral valve fails to close completely and allows blood from left ventricle to flow back into left atrium
Mitral Insufficiency
One or more cusps of Mitral valve protrude back into left atrium during ventricular contraction
Mitral Valve Prolapse
Any deviation from normal heartbeat, normal sinus rhythm
Arrythmias(Irregular Heartbeats)
Collapse of cardiovascular system
Shock
Inadequate output of blood by heart
Cardiogenic Shock
