A
  • chest discomfort
  • shortness of breath
  • weakness
  • tachycardia
  • palpitations (fluttering or pounding heart)
32
Q

Causes of sudden cardiac arrest

A
  • coronary artery disease
  • heart attack
  • cardiomyopathy
  • heat valve disease
  • congenital heart defect
  • long QT syndrome (LQTS)
  • atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation
33
Q

Electrical phase

A

0-4 mins after cardiac arrest
The heart still has a supply of oxygen and glucose. Conditions are favorable for resuscitation. The heart is prepared to respond to defibrillation.

34
Q

Circulatory phase

A

4-10 mins after cardiac arrest
Oxygen stores are exhausted; myocardial cells switch to anaerobic metabolism. CPR is needed to restore a supply of oxygen and glucose to enhance the possibility of successful defibrillation

35
Q

Metabolic phase

A

Begins 10 minutes after cardiac arrest
The heart muscle is acidic and ischemic, and begins to die. Changes of resection are unfavorable.

36
Q

Defibrillation for..

A

V tach and BV fib

37
Q

Defibrillation for..

A

V tach and BV fib

38
Q

Defibrillation not advised for…

A

Asystole: absence of electrical activity
Pulses less electrical activity

39
Q

Cardiac management

A
  • activation of emergency response
  • high quality CPR
  • defibrillation
  • advanced resuscitation
  • post cardiac arrest care
  • recovery

Q

Drawer 6

A

Prepackaged kits for various urgent and emergency procedures

48
Q

epicardium

A

outer layer, visceral layer of the pericardium

49
Q

myocardium

A

middle layer, the actual muscle that contracts

50
Q

endocardium

A

inner layer, the lining of heart chambers and vessels

51
Q

coronary artery

A

vessels that deliver oxygen rich blood to the myocardium

52
Q

direction of blood flow

A

from the epicardium towards the endocardium

53
Q

coronary circulation

A

the circulation of blood in the blood vessels of the heart muscle

54
Q

prominent plateau phase

A

long refractory period that prevents summation and tetanus

55
Q

tetanus

A

prolonged contraction of muscle caused by rapidly repeated stimuli

56
Q

muscles cells around the endocardium are the first to __ and last to __

A

depolarize, repolarize

57
Q

muscle cells around the epicardium are the last to ___ and the first to ___

A

depolarize, repolarize

58
Q

ischemic heart disease

A

lumen creates myocardial infarction when it gets clogged to a certain degree
decrease blood flow and oxygen supply

59
Q

ischemic heart disease causes

A
  • smoking
  • hypertension
  • high blood LDL
  • diabetes
60
Q

endothelial injury hypothesis

A

When the endothelial lining of blood vessels is injured, collagen in the basement membrane comes in direct contact with blood causing platelet aggregation
platelets secrete platelet derived from growth factor (PDGF) that stimulate smooth muscle growth that narrows the blood vessel and slows blood flow, and initiation of blood clot

61

A

a myocardial infarction that does not involve the full thickness of the myocardium

62
Q

Types of ST segment depression

St segment going towards peak of T wave

64
Q

upsloping depression

A

nondiagnostic for ischemia

65
Q

horizontal depression

A

indicates myocardial ischemia

66
Q

ST segment elevation

A

myocardial infarction
ST segment above baseline

67
Q

transmural myocardial infarction

A

lack of oxygen delivery (via coronary blood vessel) through the entire wall of the heart
not enough ATP for the Na+/K+ ATPase pump to re-establish the concentration gradient
cells generate action potentials of small amplitude
cells in the epicardium are more affected than cells in the endocardium

68
Q

A

can be used to confirm the existence and location of coronary artery disease
medical imaging technique where a catheter is directed to a coronary artery and a radiopaque substance is injected in order to visualize the blood vessels

76
Q

stent

A

catheder is directed into the occluded coronary artery and there is a balloon stent
stent pushes the plaque outward against the arterial wall and the artery widens, restoring blood flow
