PCOL (HF-Dyslipidemia) Flashcards
Volume of blood ejected per unit time (L/min)
HR x SV
CARDIAC OUTPUT
Heart Rate is controlled by
Autonomic Nervous System
Volume of blood ejected during systole
Stroke Volume
Intrinsic property of cardiac muscle describing shortening and tension development
Contractility
As myocardial sarcomere length is stretched, the number of cross-bridges between thick and thin myofilaments increases, resulting in an increase in the force contraction
PRELOAD
A more complex physiologic concept that can be viewed pragmatically as the sum of forces preventing active forward ejection of blood of ventricle.
Afterload
Is a measurement of the percentage of blood leaving your heart each time it contracts.
Ejection Fraction
A cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of ventricle to deliver adequate quantities of blood to the metabolizing tissues during normal activity at rest.
Heart Failure
Leads to reduction in muscle mass as a consequence of death of affected myocardial cells
Myocardial Infarction
Progressive disease that is characterized by gradual reduction in cardiac performance, punctuated in many cases by episodes of acute decompensation often requiring hospitalization.
Heart Faiilure
Heart failure is a progressive disorder that begins with ________
myocardial injury
_______ is the classic, more familiar form of the disorder (HF)
HF with impaired systolic function
Retention of salt and water
Edema
Ventricular Hypertrophy and Remodelling
Cardiomegaly
Further increases in preload will only lead to ___________
pulmonary or systemic congestion
_____ will help redistribute blood flow away from nonessential organs to coronary and cerebral circ to support blood pressure
Vasocontriction
Impedes forward ejection of blood from the ventricle, further depressing cardiac output and heightening the compensatory responses
Vasoconstriction
term used to describe an increase in ventricular mass
Ventricular Hypertrophy
Inc in ventricular wall thickness without chamber enlargement
Concentric Hypertrophy
Myocyte lengthening with increased chamber size with minimal increase in wall thickness
Eccentric Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
Broader term describing changes in both myocardial cells extracellualr matrix that result in changes in the size, shape, structure, and fx of the heart
Cardiac or Ventricular Remodeling
This model recognizes that there is an initiating event that leads to decreased CO and begins the “heart failure state”
Neurohormonal Model
this hormone is synthesized directly in the myocardium through non-ACE dependent pathways
Angiotensin II
Play a central role in tachycardia, vasoconstriction, and increased contractility observed in HF
Norepinephrine
sodium retention and its key role in volume overload and edema has long been recognized as impt component of the HF syndrome
Aldosterone
Primary manifestations of HR
Dyspnea and Fatigue
most common type of HF
-metab demands are within normal limits but heart cant meet them
LOW OUTPUT FAILURE
