Pathophysiology: Ischemic Heart And Vascular Disease Flashcards
Cardio protective factors
Fruit/veggies, exercise, moderate alcohol
Contribute most to CV risk
Abnormal lipids (apo A and B ratio) Smoking
When a patient has an MI but no ST elevation
Fatty material is deposited in vessel wall. NSTEMI
Full occlusion MI
STEMI - narrowed artery becomes blocked by a blood clot
Athersclerosis is a type of
Arteriosclerosis
Consequences of atherosclerosis
Narrow size, blockage, stiffness (less reactivity)
Primary cause of hardened and narrowed arteries (atherosclerosis)
Stable plaque
Which type of plaque is more likely to rupture, causing MI or stroke
Unstable
When does myocardial perfusion occur
Diastole
Pain in internal organs is often sensed on the surface of the body
Referred pain
How is stable angina relieved
Rest or nitroglycerin
Rate pressure product
HR x SBP
Number in the thousands
Presence of angina in absence of increased demand
Unstable angina
What biomarker marks an AMI
Troponin (3-4 hrs) peak 18 hrs
ST elevation
MI
