Q

does a stiffer vessel have a higher or lower pulse pressure

30
Q

does aortic stiffness increase with age

31
Q

does aortic compliance increase with age

A

no decreases

32
Q

how does inspiration affect right heart filing

A
  • increases right heart filling
33
Q

how does expiration affect right heart filling

A
  • decreases right heart filling
34
Q

how does a muscle pump work

A
  • muscles contract around veins to compress the blood upward through valves
  • CHF patients must walk to augment flow
  • main reason why walking hopes pedal edema from CHF
35
Q

what is volemia

A

total blood volume

36
Q

does increase blood volume increase blood pressure

37
Q

what are 2 factors that increase volemia

A
  • water retention (kidney, liver)
  • total body mass
    + blood vessels designed for skeletal size not skin size
38
Q

how does salt intake water content in blood

A
  • high salt intake leads to decreased excretion of water and salt by kidneys to maintain proper salinity of blood
    + more water in vascular system
    + more outward pressure on arterial walls
    = higher BP
39
Q

what is salinity

A
  • sodium:water ratio
40
Q

does sodium by itself raise BP if not what does

A
  • no

- sodium chloride

41
Q

how does high afterload / BP affect CHF

A
  • increased work load for an already overloaded muscle

- diastolic dysfunction as well

42
Q

how does high afterload /BP affect CAD

A
  • endothelial damage in coronary artery accelerates plaque formation
43
Q

how does high afterload / BP affect PVD

A
  • endothelial damage in coronary artery accelerates plaque formation
44
Q

how does high afterload/BP affect renal failure

A
  • pressure to high for kidneys to function well&raquo_space; endothelial damage
45
Q

how does high afterload/BP affect angina

A
  • increased workload of the muscle + decreased coronary perfusion
46
Q

what does a release of nitric oxide do to the endothelium

A
  • makes the endothelium release EDRF&raquo_space; vasodilation
47
Q

what does EDRF do

A
  • allows the smooth muscle cells of the tunica intima and media to relax
48
Q

what is EDRF

A

endothelium relaxation factor

49
Q

how is HTN managed by addressing causes

A
  • regulating blood volume
  • regulating CO
  • regulating peripheral arterial resistance
50
Q

is medication or lifestyle changes done first to manage HTN

A
  • life style changes
51
Q

what are the lifestyle modification made to manage HTN

A
  • exercise
  • control salt intake
  • lipids managment
  • smoking cessation
  • stress reduction techniques
52
Q

how does smoking and stress lead to high BP

A
  • smokings/toxins damage endothelium function
  • mental stress impairs endothelial function
  • smoking leads to elevated mental stress
  • smoking and mental stress lead to high BP
53
Q

what are the 4 main types of medication to lower blood pressure and what do they do

A
  • diuretics = lower total blood volume, reduce afterload and preload, excrete salt with water
  • beta blockers = lower HR reduce SBP and DBP block sympathetic stem
  • calcium channel blockers = block calcium from entering muscle cell
  • ACE inhibitors = prevent angiotensin from causing arterial constriction
54

what could be 5 2D findings on a patient with HTN

A
  • LV hypertrophy
  • Aortic root , asc ao dilation
  • aortic valve sclerosis or MAC
  • LA enlargmetn - arrhythmia
  • RV dilation due to high RVSP
60
Q

what would a be finding on strain echo with HTN

A
  • reduced global strain
61
Q

what would be a finding on doppler with HTN

A 
- diastolic dysfunction 
   \+ increase LV filling pressure
   \+ pulmonary veins flow reversal 
  \+ TDI reduced 
  \+ RVSP increased 
- desc ao diástole flow reversal 
- regurge
62
Q

what is normal LV geometry

A
  • normal LV mass and normal relative wall thickness
63
Q

what is concentric remodelling

A
  • normal LV mass with increased relative wall thickness
64
Q

what is concentric hypertrophy

A
  • increased LV mass and increased relative wall thickness
65
Q

what is eccentric hypertrophy

A
  • increased LV mass with normal / decreased relative wall thickness
66
Q

what is normal LV mass index in femal and male

A

= 95 female

= 115 male

67
Q

what is normal relative wall thickness

68
Q

what is the LV mass linear technique equation

A

LV mass = 0.8 [ 1.04{(PWd + LVIDd + IVSd)^3 LVID^3}] 0.6

69
Q

what is the LV mass index equation

A

LVMI = total LV mass / BSA

70
Q

how does obesity effect LV mass index

A
  • LV mass may be too high but LV mass index normal due to increased BSA
71
Q

what is the relative wall thickness equation

A

RWT = 2 (PWd/LVIDd)
