Lesson 13 part 2 Flashcards
three major types of CMP
Dilated
Hypertrophic
Restrictive
types of cardiomyopathy:
dilated
hypertrophic
restrictive
arrhythmigenic rv dysplasia
unknown cmp
the pumping ability of the heart’s main pumping chamber (LV) BECOMES ENLARGED and cant effectively pump blood of the heart
dilated cmp
dilated cmp most often affect what age and gender
middle aged people: men
dilated cmp is secondary to ______
aortic regurgitation
what cmp: involves abnormal THICKENING OF THE HEART MUSCLE, which make it harder for the heart to work
hypertrophic
what cmp: there is a problem in the VENTRICULAR SEPTUM
hypertrophic cmp
what cmp: the HEART MUSCLE becomes STIFF AND LESS FLEXIBLE, so it cant expand and fill the blood between heartbeats
restrictive cmp
restrictive cmp is common with people who are:
alcoholic
cigarette smoker
what cmp: the muscle in the lower right heart chamber is REPLACED BY SCAR TISSUE, which can lead to HEART RHYTHM PROBLEMS
arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
the broken heart syndrome
unclassified cardiomyopathy
the most common symptom of cardiomyopathy is
SOB
this causes the heart to beat slowly
beta adrenergic blockers
decrease left ventricular filling pressures
ACE
this drug reduces cardiac workload by increasing contractile ability
CCB
reduce fluid retention
diuretics
enable the heart to have greater contractile force
inotropic agent
painful lesions on palms and toes/soles
Janeway lesions
painful discolored, raised areas on fingers and feet
osler nodes
grating heart sounds
pleural friction rub
drop of blood pressure that occurs in inspiration
pulsus paradoxus
swelling of the major veins of the neck
jugular vein distention
a third heart sound commonly heard in heart failure
S3
is the heart sound heard before S1 and is the result of the heart being stiff
S4
