Packet 7 - Circulatory System Flashcards
A type of chronic ischemic heart disease that is more predictable and is usually triggered by exertion. The patient is experiencing the same degree of pain that is relieved by the same number of nitroglycerine every time, and is usually due to the presence of a stable plaque (one that has not ruptured yet).
a. ) Atherosclerosis
b. ) Unstable / Preinfarction Angina
c. ) Classic / Stable Angina
d. ) Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
e. ) Variant / Prinzmetal’s Angina
c.) Classic / Exertional / Stable Angina

What are the 2 different forms of chronic ischemic heart disease?
a. ) Atherosclerosis
b. ) Unstable / Preinfarction Angina
c. ) Classic / Exertional / Stable Angina
d. ) Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
e. ) Variant / Vasospastic / Prinzmetal’s Angina
chronic ischemic heart disease
c. ) Classic / Exertional / Stable Angina
e. ) Variant / Vasospastic / Prinzmetal’s Angina
A type of acute coronary syndrome that occurs when a plaque or clot has ruptured and does not get broken down, and the occlusion lasts long enough causing heart muscles to die. A scan is done to look for cardiac enzymes, proteins, and markers.

Facilitates clearance of cholesterol from blood and plaques, and transports it back to the liver where it can be excreted.
a. ) LDL
b. ) HDL
HDL (high-density lipoprotein)
Facilitates clearance of cholesterol from blood and plaques, and transports it back to the liver where it can be excreted.
Fibrofatty lesions in intimal lining of arteries cause narrowing and hardening of arteries and predisposition to thrombus formation.
a. ) Atherosclerosis
b. ) Unstable / Preinfarction Angina
c. ) Classic / Exertional / Stable Angina
d. ) Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
e. ) Variant / Vasospastic / Prinzmetal’s Angina
a.) Atherosclerosis
Fibrofatty lesions in intimal lining of arteries cause narrowing and hardening of arteries and predisposition to thrombus formation.
A type of acute coronary syndrome that is not predictable and is usually accelerated. People usually complain of pain that occurs more often, or the pain is more severe and is triggered by less exertion than it used to be. The pain is not relieved by the normal dose of nitroglycerice, and more of it is needed for relief. Usually due to the presence of an unstable plaque (a plaque that has ruptured).

A type of chronic ischemic heart disease that is not due to atherosclerosis, but due to a vasospasm of the coronary artery. The coronary artery has constricted so tight that not enough blood flow is getting to the heart muscle, causing chest pain. Most often occurs when the person is at rest.

A fatlike substance that is an essential component of cell membranes and steroid hormones. In blood, travels in form of lipoproteins.
Cholesterol
Main carrier of cholesterol to tissues.
a. ) LDL
b. ) HDL
LDL (low-density lipoprotein)
Main carrier of cholesterol to tissues.
