Left sided heart failure complications
Hypertension Ischemic heart disease Pulmonary edema Orthopnea - hypertension laying down Reduced blood to kidneys
Right sided heart failure
caused by
effects
caused by lung disease/ left sided heart disease
causes hepatomegaly
hypertension
Select incorrect statement concerning myocardial infarction
as many as 10-20% of these patients experience no pain
The majority of these patients experience pulmonary edema
These are often associated with a mural thrombus (40%)
Typically precipitated by an atrial premature beat
Typically precipitated by an atrial premature beat
Complications of MI
Arrhythmias (75-95%)
Pericarditis (50%)
Mural thrombus (40%)
Extension of infarct
Tachy-arrhythmias
cardiac contraction rates more than 100 bpm
Most common ineffective cardiac contraction
Atrial fibrillation
Essential/primary hypertension
don’t know what causes it
very common - 90-95% of hypertensive patients
narrowing of arterioles especially in kidneys
Secondary hypertension
Caused by pheochromocytoma or other endocrine cause and by congestive heart failure 5-10% of hypertensives Drugs Pregnancy Renal failure Sleep apnea
Which of the following is least likely to be a compensation for congestive heart failure
Cardiohypertrophy
A reduction in cardiac stroke volume
Increased catecholamine (sympathetic) activity
Tachycardia
A reduction in cardiac stroke volume
Will want to increase stroke volume
Also will want to redistribute blood flow
Fixed (stable) stenosis/angina
Symptoms resolve after exerted effort
Variant angina
at rest, brief
Unstable angina
prolonged at rest
most dangerous
Risk of atrial fibrillation
Thrombus
25% of strokes
no MI danger
Select the incorrect statement
Valvular heart disease can be caused by streptococcal infections
Endocarditis can cause fatal thromboemboli
Atrial premature beats are usually very dangerous
Bradycardia is defined as fewer than 60 bpm and can be caused by cardiac conduction blocks
Atrial premature beats are usually very dangerous
Ventricular are dangerous
Thrombus
blood clot clogging an artery
Embolus
anything blocking a vessel
Select the incorrect statement concerning cardiac arrhythmias
Tachy-arrhythmias can be caused by multiple ectopic foci
A risk of atrial fibrillation is stroke-causing emboli
Often are associated with congestive heart failure
Procainamide is the first choice for ventricular arrhythmias
Procainamide is the first choice for ventricular arrhythmias
First choice for ventricular arrhythmias
Lidocaine
Treat atrial fibrillation
Amiodarone
Metoprolol
B1 blocker
treats heart failure, reduce heart rate and block sympathetic nervous system activity
treats heart failure
Dobutamine
Increases HR - B1 agonist
can cause arrhythmias
treats heart failure
Captopril
Decrease TPR
ACE inhibitor - angiotensin converting enzyme
Reduces salt and water retention
treats heart failure
Hydralazine
vasodilator
smooth muscle relaxer
treats heart disease
Digitalis
Increases Ca and contractility of heart
treats heart failure
Procainamide
Anti-arrhythmic
slows action potential conduction
Na channel blocker
not first choice
Select the incorrect statement concerning the following antihypertensive drugs
Furosemide is a loop diuretic more potent than hydrochlorthiazide Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic Clonidine is an alpha 1 antagonist Diltiazem is a calcium channel blocker Captopril is an ACE inhibitor
Clonidine is a alpha 2 agonist
Most likely to treat cholesterol and lipid condition
Fenobrate
Cholesteramine
Exetimibe
Lovastatin
Lovastatin - Inhibits synthesis of cholesterol
Fenobrate
Decreases LDL and VLDL
Increases HDL
Increases lipolysis in liver and muscles
Cholesteramine
Reduces bile reabsorption of lipid/cholesterol
Exetimibe
Decreases fat absorption
Select the incorrect statement concerning pulmonary pathology
Asthma is associated with smooth muscle hypertrophy and hyper-inflated lungs
Fibrosing lung diseases are often associated with rheumatoid arthritis
The main cause of COPD (congestive obstructive pulmonary disease) is car emissions
Cystic fibrosis is associated with destruction of elastin and muscle in the pulmonary bronchial walls
The main cause of COPD is not car emissions
it’s smoking
Which is described as a ‘controller’ agent and is most likely to be prescribed as the primary drug for regular use to treat long-term stable moderate to severe asthma
Theophylline Mentelukast Cromolyn Albuterol Fluticasone
Fluticasone - steroid, thrush, ulcers
Theophylline
Add on controller
increased cyclic AMP
Phosphodiester inhibitor
combined with cortical steroids to treat asthma
Mentelukast
Leukotriene modifier
Prophylactic for serious/chronic asthma
