Newman: Questions for CV disease and CAD Flashcards
What are the determinants of BP?
P = Q x R
*altering flow and resistance
the ability of the arterioles to clamp down ro relax
resistance
What substances can increase vascular resistance?
Norepi
Epi
Angiotensin II
What substances decrease vascular resistance
NO
prostacylin
T or F: Flow = Cardiac Output
True
CO =
SV x HR
quantity (CCs) of blood ejected from the left ventricle into the aorta every cardiac cycle
stroke volume
What are the determinants of SV?
preload, afterload, contractility
the volume of the left ventricle at the end of diastole
preload (EDV)
T or F: An increase in preload will increase blood pressure
T
Why would you insert a pulmonary artery catheter?***
to measure preload: ballon inflates in the (left ventricle?) and the preload can be measured (left ventricular end diastolic pressure)
A bigger left ventricle (dilation) will (increase or decrease) the afterload.
increase
The inherent ability of the heart to contract–is independent of preload and afterload
contractility
SV / EDV =
ejection fraction
A pt has an ejection fraction of 30%, is that good or bad?
bad
A pt has an ejection fraction of 70%, is that good or bad
good
renin is secreted fron JG apparatus in response to ____
dec Q, CO, SV
Angiotensin I goes thru the ____ and is converted to ang II by_____
lungs
converting enzyme
What 2 important things does angiotensin II do?
- potent vasoconstrictor (inc resistance)
2. stimulates the secretion of aldo from the adrenal glands
An decrease in the amount of angiotenisn II would (inc or dec) BP
decrease
What does aldosterone do?
causes reabs of Na and excretion K+
Would a person in HF want to have high or low levels of aldosterone?
low – do not was to reabsorb any more Na/H2O
A pt presents to you with chest pain only upon exertion and is relieved by rest.
What would a treadmill test tell you?
What would a cardiac catherterization tell you?
What pharm
treadmill: will increase HR and SBP, which exacerbate the exertional chronic stable angina
cardiac cath will tell you how blocked he is, but I don’t think he’s a candidate for this?
A pt has severe chest tightness which wakes him from sleep
normal ECG
acute coronary syndrome
You have 3 vessel coronary disease. What do you do now?
bypass–STAT!
pt presents to the ED with severe chest pain. the ECK reveals ST elevation in leads 2, 3, and avF what do you do?
cath?
3 syndromes of coronary disease
chronic stable angina
Acute coronary syndrome
ST elevation MI
62 yr old male walks his dog and gets tightness in chest with SOB. He sits down and the pain goes away.
Dx
chronic stable angina
Man carrying bag of groceries upstairs and it got better when he sat down.
Dx
chronic stable angina
tighness/contrictoion in chest + SOB + gets better when sits down/at rest
chronic stable angina
exertional symptoms
chronic stable angina
inadequate supply of blood to myocardium (heart blockages) and increased demand relative to the supply
chronic stable angina
2 major determinates of myocardial demand
systolic BP
HR
