Q

the absence of a palpable pulse waves in a peripheral artery for one or more heart beats, often seen in atrial fibrillation.

A

Pulse Deficit

25
The difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure.
Pulse Pressure
26
The pattern of the beats and the intervals between the beats.
Pulse rhythm
27
Formally it is the systolic pressure minus the diastolic pressure. Theoretically, the systemic pulse pressure can be conceptualized as being proportional to stroke volume, or the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle during systole and inversely proportional to the compliance of the aorta.
Pulse Volume
28
the heart sound produced by closure of the semiluner valves, characterized by the "dub" sound
Second Heart Sound S2
29
Circulation through the left side of the heart, the aorta and its branches, the capillaries that supply the brain and peripheral tissuses, the systemic venous system, and the vena cava.
Systemic Circulation
30
The force or resistance of the blood in the body's blood vessels that helps return blood to the heart.
Systemic Vascular Resistance
31
The phase of ventricular contraction.
Systole
32
The maximum pressure exerted within the arteries when the heart compresses. SBP
Systolic Blood Pressure
33
An excessively fast heart rate greater than 100 bpm in an adult.
Tachycardia
34
Heart sound that is sometimes heard after the second heart sound in children, young adults, pregnant females during the third trimester. AKA ventricular gallop.
Third Heart Sound S3
35
Refers to the flow of blood through arteries and capillaries delivering nutrients and oxygen to cells and removing cellular waste products.
Tissue Perfusion
36
A palpable vibration over the precordium or an artery.
Thrill
37
Heart sound sometimes heard after the second heart sound in children, young adults, and pregnant females during the third trimester. aka third heart sound

Hypertension stage II

Hypertensive Emergency
43
Drop in MAP stimulates SNS, increases the heart rate, & CO, and constricting arterioles. BP increases Rise in MAP (Mean arteriole pressure) has opposite effect. decreased heart rate, CO and causes arteriolar vasodilation.
Sympathetic nervous system stimulation SNS
44
From the adrenal cortex (fight or flight response) have the same effect as SNS stimulation.
Circulating epinephrine, norepinephrine
45
Responds to renel perfusion. Decrease in renal perfusion stimulates renin release. Increase BP, Increase CO, Systemic Vascular Resistance
Renin-angotensin-aldosterone system RAAS
46
Released from atrial cells in response to stretching by excess blood volume.
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), Brain and Atriuretic Peptide BNP
47
Peptide synthesized and released by endothelial and smooth muscle cells in blood vessels. Potent vasodilator.
Adrenomedullin
48
from the posterior pituitary gland, promotes H2O retention and vasoconstriction.
Vasopressor or antidiuretic hormone ADH
49
Primary hypertension which has no identified cause. thought to develop from complex interactions among factors that regulate cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance.
Essential Hypertension
50
The interaction between insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, and enothelial function maybe a primary cause of hypertension. Excess insulin has several effects that potentially contribute to hypertension: Na retention by the kidneys, increase in SNS activity, hypertrophy of vascular smooth muscle and changes in ion transport across cell membranes.
Interactions between insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, and endothelial function.
51
Hypertension elevated bp resulting from an identifiable underlying process. 5-10% of identified cases of hypertension
Secondary Hypertension
52
systolic bp of 140 mmHg or higher or diastolic bp of 90 mmHg or higher based on the avg. of 3 or more readings taken on separate occasions. major risk factors for coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke and renal failure.
Hypertension
53
a Persistantly elevated systemic blood pressure. aka essential hypertension.
Primary hypertension
54
Elevated bp resulting from an identifiable underlying process.
Secondary Hypertension
55
A systolic blood pressure greater than 180 mmHg and diastolic bp higher than 120 mmHg. Also called malignant hypertension
Hypertensive Emergency
56
The average pressure in the arterial circulation throughout the cardiac cycle.
MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure)
57
Parasympathetic stimulation causes vasodilation of the arterioles; lowering BP
Parasympathetic nervous system
58
Primary mechanisms. SNS exerts a major effect on peripheral resistance by causing vasoconstriction of the arterioles, thereby increasing BP
Sympathetic nervous system
59
``` Statins Antihypertensives Adrenegic agonist Calcium-channel blockers Cardiac glycosides Phosphodiesterase inhibitors Nitrates Thromboytics ```
Parmacologic Therapy
