25
What can we do with dental hygiene care with a patient who is at risk for IE
- mainetence of high degree of oral health - instruction of brushing and flossing when under premed - sequence of tx- bring tissue to healthiest state as possible before instrumentation - reduce microbial pop around teeth before instrumentation

95%
29
what is elevated in secondary hypertension
both diastolic and systolic pressures
30
WHat is the etiology of secondary HTN
-oral contraceptive renal disease endocrine disorders medications
31
what is the diastolic bp
pressure exerted by blood within the arteries during resting resistance after contraction of the left ventricle
32
what is systolic bp
pressure exhorted against the aterial walls during ventricular contraction
33
what is normal bp
<80
34
what is prehypertension
120-139 80-89
35
what is stage 1 hypertension
140-159- 90-99
36
what is stage 2 hypertension
>160 >100
37
what are symptoms of hypertension
- high blood pressure - long standing severe elevation of blood pressure - major sequela - malignant hypertension
38
what are symptoms of high blood pressure
``` occipital headaches dizziness visual disturbances weakness ringing in ears tingling of hands and feet ```
39
hypertensive crisis is a
life threatening disorder
40
what are results of long standing severe elevation of blood pressure
- mental confusion - blurring of vision - severe dyspnea - chest pains
41
what are symptoms of a major sequela
hypertensive heart disease, enlarged heart with eventual cardiac failure -hypertensive renal disease ischemic heart disease cerebrovascular accident
42
what is treatment goals in primary hypertension
- diastolic below 80 | - lower risk of serious complications, death
43
what are treatment goals in secondary hypertension
-surgical or other correction of cause is needed
44
what are lifestyle changes that must happen in treatment of hypertension
-weight and exercise diet tobacco use other risk factors
45
what is hypertensive heart disease
results from the increased load on the heart because of elevated blood pressure -to cope with increased work load from the peripherial arterial resistance to the increased flow of blood, muscle fibers are stretched and heart enlarges
46
what is the first effect of hypertension on the heart
thickening of the left ventricle, later the entire heart is enlarged
47
what is ischemic heart disease
the cardiac disability, acute and chronic, that arises from reduction or arrest of blood supply in the myocardium
48
what is the myocardium blood supplied by
coronary artery
49
what does ischemia mean
oxygen deprivation in a local area from a reduced passage of fluid into the area
50
what is ischemic heart disease a result of
an imbalance of the oxygen supply and demand of the myocardium which in turn results from a narrowing or blocking of the lumen of the coronary arteries
51
what is the etiology of ischemic heart diesease
-the principle cause is atherosclerosis of the vessel walls
52
what are risk factors for ischemic heart disease
- inflammation-role in formation of atheromas - perio microorganisms can cause atheromas - elevated blood lipids - increased cholesterol,sat. fat, carbs, alchohol and calories - tobacco use, diabetes, obesity, sedentary, stress and fam history may all be sig
53
what are manifestations of ischemic heart disease
-angina pectoris myocardial infarction congestive heart failure
54
What is angina pectoris
chest pain, the most common symptom of coronary arthrosclerotic heart disease
55
what are the symptoms of angina pectoris
- heavy, squeezing pressure or tightness in mid chest - pale, faintness, sweating, anxiety, fear difficulty breathing - pain may radiate down left or right arm, neck
56
what are precipitating factors of angina pectoris
- stable angina | - unstable angina
57
what is treatment for angina pectoris
-use vasodilator, nitro, supplemental oxygen
58
What are the steps in the procedure during an angina pectoris attack
- terminate tx (call for assistance - position patient - administer vasodilator - check patient response - call for medical assistance - record vital signs - observe recovery
59
What is a myocardial infarction
most extreme manifestation of ishcemic heart disease from a sudden arrest of coronary blood flow
60
what is the etiology of a myocardial infarction
- immediate:thrombosis that blocks an artery narrowed by athrosclerosis - blockage creates an area of infarction, which leads to necrosis of the area
61
What are the symptoms of an MI
pain, cold sweat, weakness faintness, shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, BP below baseline
62
Do women always present with symptoms in an MI
no, they pay be nausiated, agitated, diphoretic
63
What is the location and onset of pain in a myocardial infarction
- location; under the sternum, may feel like indigestion, severe pain gives a pressing crushing or heavy sensation - onset- may be sudden, during sleep or after exercise, pain may be radial
64
How do you manage a MI attack
- terminate tx- sit pt up, give nitro | - summon medical assistance- when nitro doesnt reduce angina in 3 min prep for BLS
65
What is congestive heart failure
syndrome in which an abnormality of cardiac function is responsible for the inability or failure of the heart to pump blood at a rate necessary to meet the needs of the body tissues
66
what is the etiology of underlying causes of congestive heart failure
- heart valve damage | - myocardial failure as an abnormality of heart muscle or secondary to ischemia
67
what is the etiology of precipitating causes of congestive heart failure
- acute hypertensive crisis (headache, mental confusion, dizziness, SOB, chest pain) - massive pulmonary embolism - aarhythmia
68
what are clinical manifestations of left sided heart failure
- subjective- weakness, fatigue, dyspnea, cough, expectortation, nocturia - objective-pallor, sweating, cold skin, breathing difficult, heart rate rapid, anxiety fear, diastolic BP increased
69
How should a patient rest in the chair with left sided heart failure
sitting or semi-sitting position
70
what are symptoms of right sided heart failure
-subjective- weakness, fatigue, swelling of feet or ankles, cold hands and feet objective symptoms- cyanosis of mucous membranes, prominent jug. veins, congestion with edema in organs, anxiety, fear
71
What kind of tx is used in congestive heart failure
-drug therapy, dietary control, limitation of activity
72
what is good to know for the dh in congestive heart failure
