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 your 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 expland 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
