MI 18 Questions Flashcards
HR*SV
CO
CO*BMI
CI
Length of Cardiac Fiber & amy of bld in ventricle during diastole –> Force of contraction
Starlings Law
Normal Ejection Fracture
60-70%
Leading cause of morbidity and mortality
MI
Transmural Necrosis
4-6h
Subendocardial Necrosis
w/in minutes
Q wave
Zone of infarction
ST Elevation
Injury
T wave inversion
Ischemia
Location of Infarct determined by
EKG
Leads V1-V4
Anterior (LAD)
Leads II, III, aVf
Inferior (RCA)
Leads V5-V6, I, aVl
Lateral, Circumflex
Healing process post MI begins
in 24h
Post MI tissue is vulnerable
10-14d
Most Indicative Lab
Dx Acute MI
Troponin (protein)
Determine extent and tx of MI
Serial EKG
ST-elevation (1mm+/-)–> (Fireman’s hat)
Appear w/in few hrs
ST elevation returns to normal post MI
~2weeks
Normal Q
<1mm
Q wave changes (post MI) appear..
hours to days after MI..
Does not return to norm.
Primary goal of Tx (MI) acute phase
RELIEVE PAIN***
then control arrhythmias & stop progression
Greatest S/S of Ischemia
pain
Most common SE of MI
arrhythmias–> constant monitoring
