Pathophysiology Exam 3 Flashcards
BP =
CO x SVR
MAP
mean arterial pressure
MAP =
DBP + 1/3 (SBP-DBP)
Pulse pressure
SBP-DBP
Minimum MAP
60 mmHg
Vasodilation
decrease SVR
Vasoconstriction
increase SVR
CO =
SV x HR
What influences SV?
BV & contractility
low BP
hypotension
Hypotension parameters
BP < 90/60 mm
Only treat hypotension if it is what?
symptomatic
In Cardiogenic hypotension what is impacted?
Cardiac output (CO)
How is cardiogenic hypotension treated?
increase CO
- Epi/dobutamine
Epi/dobutamine are what?
(+) inotropes
(+) inotropes do what?
increase contractility
drug that raises blood pressure
- many are vasoconstrictors
pressor agent
Hypotension caused by Sepsis
vasodilation (decreases SVR)
How is sepsis hypotension treated?
Increase SVR
- NE/Vasopressin (ADH)/Epi/Phenylephrine
NE/Vasopressing (ADH)/Epi/Phenylephrine are all what?
vasoconstrictors (pressor agents)
Hypovolemia
decrease BV
How to treat hypotension caused by hypovalemia
increase IV fluids -> increase BV -> increase SV -> increase CO
high BP
hypertension (HTN)
Stage 1 hypertension
- systolic 130-139
OR - diastolic 80-89
Stage 2 hypertension
- systolic >/= 140
OR - diastolic >/= 90
Resistance heart pumping against
afterload
hypertension caused by what?
increased heart workload
effect of heart having to pump against increase resistance (effect of HTN)
ventricular hypertrophy.
ventricular hypertrophy
ventricular layer thickens
- ventricle holds less blood & pumps less blood
How to treat hypertension
decrease CO, decrease SVR or both
how to decrease CO
decrease SV by either decreasing BV or contractility
how to decrease SVR
vasodilation
Drugs that decrease CO
- diuretics (thiazide - HCTZ)
- Beta blockers
- ACE inhibitors/ARBs/Renin inhibitors
- Calcium channel blockers (CCBs)
Drugs that decrease SVR (vasodilators)
- ACE inhibitors/ ARBs/ Renin inhibitors
- CAlcium channel blockers
Drugs that are (-) inotropes and (-) chronotropes
Beta blockers & Calcium channel blockers. (CCBs)
Vasodilations decreases SVR and what?
LV afterload
atherosclerotic plaque
Coronary artery disease
chest pain caused by myocardial ischemia
Angina pectoris
angina with exertion; relieved with rest
- increase demand (exertion)
- decrease demand (at rest)
Stable Angina
Angina at rest
- decrease supply
Unstable Angina
