LECTURE 2: cardiac muscle dysfunction and failure Flashcards
what is the most common cause of pulmonary congestion and edema
HF
if someone has a L sided HF would problem would most likely arise ?
lung
increased arterial pressure form hypertension causes what on the LV
increases work
hypertension causes what effect on afterload?
increased
what happens to the LV during hypertension
enlarges and hypertrophies
during HTN , the LV enlarges and hypertrophies so then there is an ____ energy expenditure of the mm fibers of the heart
increased
ECG measure what
ejection fraction
Doppler measures what
blood flow
what is the second most common causes of CMD
coronary artery disease
what is coronary artery disease
ischemia due to restriction of blood flow
if someone has CAD what happens at the ischemia areas of the ventricle ?
scar formation
in CAD if someone has scare formation at the ischemia areas of the ventricle what happens to the compliance ? filling ? and contractility?
poor compliance
decrease filling and contractility
if there is a decreased contractility then there is an _____ ejection fraction
decreased
someone who has CAD has the possibility of developing _____ ____ during to increased ___ released
cardiac arrhythmias due to increase Ca+ released
what is irreversible myocardial necrosis
myocardial infarction
if someone has high levels of CK-MB or troponin I what can we suspect
acute myocardial infarction
if you are reading a ECG and you see ST elevation what can we suspect
acute myocardial infarction
Can cardiac arrhythmias causes sudden cardiac arrest even with someone with a normal heart ?
yes
what is abnormal rate and contraction of atria or ventricles
cardiac arrhythmias
if someone has cardiac arrthymias that means there is an altered sequence of _____ and it does not allow for proper ____ and ____ of blood from their respective chambers
contraction
filling
ejection
is the conduction system affected in cardiac arrthmias ?
yes
if someone has cardiac arrhythmias then they have a ____ cardiac output
reduced
cardiac arrhythmias can assess what types
sick sinus body syndrome
prolonged supraventricular tachycardia
ventricular tachycardia
rapid atrial fibrillation or flutter is an example of what
prolonged supra ventricular tachycardia
which cardiac arrhythmias are deadly
ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation
what contributes / exacerbates to CMD due to fluid overload
renal insufficiency
one of the main focuses with someone with renal insufficiency is to maintain what
electrolyte balance of Na+ and K+ levels
what is azotemia
severe renal insufficiency
azotemia is a high blood content of what compounds
urea and creatinine
what is causes by decreased glomerular filtration rate and decreased blood flow
renal insufficiency
someone with severe renal insufficiency has an _____ SNS to increase what
increased and BP
someone with severe renal insufficiency has increase what
BUN
creatinine
water
sodium retention
explain the RAAS system
when BP falls renin comes from the kidneys and angiotensinogen is released from the liver and then they react together to form angiotensin 1 and then ACE is released from the lungs and acts on angiotensin 1 to form angiotensin 2 which then stimulates vascontriction of the blood vessels and also acts on adrenal glad to stimulate release of aldosterone to act on the kidneys to stimulate reabsoprtion of water and salt
what is the disease of the heart mm itself leading to HF
cardiomyopathy
what does cardiomyopathy impair in the heart
contractility and/or relaxation
what are primary causes of cardiomyopathy
idiopathic mechanisms
secondary cardiomyopathy is causes due to
prolonged HTN
MI
metabolic disorder : DM , thyroid disease
heart valve problems
cardiac arrthymias
what are the 3 types of cardiomyopathies
dilated
hypertrophic
restrictive
dilated cardiomyopathy causes what type of EF
reduced
cardial mm for dilated cardiomyopathy can be due to what
metabolic
toxic
infection
genetic
what is known as myocardial mitochondrial dysfunction
dilated cardiomyopathy
what type of dysfunction is dilated CM
systolic dysfunction
someone with dilated CM has a heart that is a ___ effective pump
less
someone with DCM has a ___ EF
decreased
someone with DCM has an _____ left ventricular end diastolic volume
increased
someone with DMC and an increased LV EDV causes what to the cardiac mm fibers
for them to dilate and stretch
why is there decreased contractility of the heart mm fibers with someone with DCM
due to overstretch
hypertrophic cardiomyopathies has a ____ EF
preserved
hypertrophic CM causes an _____ heart
enlarged
what type of dysfunction is a hypertrophic CM
diastolic dysfunction
what does it mean if there is a diastolic dysfunction
impaired filling of the ventricles during diastole
someone with HCM has a diastolic dysfunction which does not allow the myocardium to do what
relax to allow filling
HCM causes an _____ left atrial , pulmonary artery , and pulmonary capillary pressure
increased
what are causes for HCM
genetic or prolonged HTN
who is HCM a common cause for sudden cardiac arrest
young athletes
