Module 13 Exam 2 Flashcards
In utero when do irregularities in heart develop happen
during the first 9 weeks
what is the most common heart defects
-ventricular septal defect
-patent ductus arteriosus
atrial septal defect
transposition of the great vessels
what is a patent ductus arteriosus
passageway is open between two great arteries, aorta and pulmonary artery
what are preventions for heart defects
- rubella vaccine
- no meds used during pregnancy
- appropriate use of x-ray equipment
- control of tobacco, drug and alcohol addictions
what are signs and symptoms of a congenital heart disease
- easy fatigue
- extertional dyspnea
- cyanosis of lips and nail bed
- poor growth and dev
- heart murmur
- congestive heart failure
What are dental hygiene concerns for heart defects
- prevention of infective endocardidits
- elimination of oral disease
what is the etiology of rheumatic fever
group A streptococcual pharyngeal infection
what valve is most commonly effected in rheumatic fever
mitral valve
What is a mitral valve prolapse
imperfect closure of the mitral valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle which causes backflow or regurgitation of blood
Does mitral valve prolapse have symptoms
no
is a premed needed for mitral valve prolapse
no
What is infective endocardidits
microbial infection of the heart valves or endocardium that is of concern in the dental and dental hygiene care of high risk patients
what is a bacteremia
-presence of microorganisms in the blood stream
What is infective endocarditis characterized by
formation of vegetations composed of masses of bacteria and blood clots on heart valves
what bacteria are responsible in most cases for IE
streptococci and staphylcocci, alpha-hemolytic strep most prevalent
What are risk factors for IE
- cardiac abnormalities
- prosthetic heart valves
- history of previous endocarditis
- IV drug abuse
What are precipiatating factors of IE
- self induced bacteremia
- infection at portals of entry
- trauma to tissues by instrumentation
what is a self induced bacteremia
activity that can force bacteria through the wall of a diseased sulcus or pocket
how do you prevent rheumatic heart disease
early diagnosis and tx
what are symptoms of rheumatic heart disease
- arthritis
- carditis
- low grade fever over several months
- joints, heart muscle, skin, CNS sub q tissues become involved
what are practice applications of rheumatic heart disease for the DH
-maintenance of high levels of oral health to prevent a need for tx of an advanced disease or caries
Rheumatic heart disease is almost always associated with
a significant murmur of insufficency
what are the symptoms of Mitral Valve prolapse
- ususally no symptoms
- palpations, fatigue, atypical chest pain, late systolic murmer
How can we prevent IE in the dental setting
- review the patient history (consult)
- prophylactic antibiotic premed
- dental hygiene care
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
what is hypertension
abnormal elevation of aterial blood pressure
what is the etiology of primary hypertension
-tobacco use heredity overweight race salt sex age environment
what percentage of HTN is primary
95%
what is elevated in secondary hypertension
both diastolic and systolic pressures
WHat is the etiology of secondary HTN
-oral contraceptive
renal disease
endocrine disorders
medications
what is the diastolic bp
pressure exerted by blood within the arteries during resting resistance after contraction of the left ventricle
what is systolic bp
pressure exhorted against the aterial walls during ventricular contraction
what is normal bp
<80
