PTA 2.3 Flashcards
whats heart rate reserve + use for?
MHR - RHR = HRR
calculates target HR (THR), ideal range in which your heart should be beating for a given intensity
use karvonen formula to calcualte this
THR = (HRR x %intensity) + RHR
e.g. moderate intent: 40-59% of HRR
high intensity 60-89% of HRR
e.g. for me
MHR = 195
RHR = 50
HRR= 145
For
moderate : (145 x 0.59 ) + 50= 135.5 (using upper limit, 59% mod int)
vigorous: (145 x 0.89) + 50 = 179
modifiable risk factors heart diseases?
- BP
- Cholesterol
- Smoking
- Overweight
- Diabetes
- Physical activity
- Stress
suggestions for heart failure therapy
- maintain condition
- lose weight, decrease cardiac output
- minimalize salt ingestion
- restrict fluids <2L a day
- stop smoking
- limit alcohol
what effect does losing weight have on cardiac output?
lower cardiac output
does salt increase or decrease cardicac load?
increase
when do you use ACE inhibitors and why
medications that help relax the veins and arteries to lower blood pressure.
use after loading, exercising to decrease BP, dilate arteries for easier transport of blood and less stress on the heart
signs of heart failure
- shortness of breath
- swelling feet and legs : disbalance in the body of fluids
- chronic lack of energy
- difficulty sleeping at night due to breathing problems
- swollen or tender abdomen with loss of appetite
- confusion, impaired memory
- increased urination at night
- cough with frequent sputum
red flags: heart failure
loss of weight >3 kg within a few days
cognitive problems
strength training protocol for cardiac patients?
3x a week, 3sets x 10-15 reps at 40-65% 1RM
woudl you use ACBt + IMT post- or preop?
preop
whats pericarditis?
inflammation of pericardium
whats endocarditis?
inflammation of inner wall of the heart
angina pectoralis?
chest pain or heart spasms
heart valve problems?
heart valve is narrowed or lacking
name modifiable factors for cardiac problems
smoking, alco, poor diet, high cholesterol high BP, increasing clotting of blood, overweight, diabetes, low PA
name non-modifiable factors for cardiac problems?
gender:M
age >60
hereditary
CVD at young age
history of CVD
what causes bronchitis / bronchi obstruction
- hypersecretion of mucus
- decreased airway diameter
- collapse of airways
describe each term
1. bronchitis
2. asthamtic bronchitis
3. emphysema
- hypersecretion of mucus
- decreased airway diameter due to inflammation, swelling of airways
- collapse of airways eg due to change in intrapleural pressure
how is COPD recognized? whats the first symtom that gives it away?
increased inflammatory response to inhaled toxic particles and gasses
whats alfa1-antitrypsin deficiency?
a certain protein in blood that protects body usually against certain enzymes, the protein is missing so enzyme attacks lungs
prognostic factors for exacerbation (COPD, asthma)?
- smoking
- inactivity
- airway responsiveness
- comorbidities
- body weight
- dyspnea
- functional exercise capacity - 6MWT
lower FEV1
what is Cor pulmonale?
right sided heart failure, hypertrophy of right ventricle due to increased resistance in pulmonary arteries, more workload R ventricle has to do
systemic effects of COPD?
- depression
- metabolic diseases
- bone diseases
- CVD diseases
- skeletal muscle weakness, loss of muscle mass
atopy: asthma, explain
predisposition to develop specific antibodies (IgE) against innocent triggers
differences between asthma and COPD: what happens to FEV1 after BD, the inhaler?
in asthma: 12% increase in FEV1
in COPD: no change
pattern of symptoms: asthma?
- 1+ symptom (shortness of breath, cough)
- Symptoms worse at night and early morning
- Symptoms vary over time and in intensity
- Triggered by viral infections (colds), exercise, allergens, exposure
asthma prognostic factors?
Smoking, inactivity, bodyweight (overweight), therapy adherence
symptoms of respiratory system problems
- coughing
- wheezing
- dyspnoea
- mucus
- haemoptysis (cough up blood)
- cyanosis - blue purple skin
- headaches, drowsiness
- decreased exercise capacity
- chest pain
name 9 global targets for 2023 by WHO
10 % decrease in alcohol and physical inactivity
25% decrease in mortality and hypertension
30% decrease in salt intake and tobacco use
50% receiving drug therapy to prevent heart attacks
half the rise in obesity and diabetes
80% availability of affordable basic technologies and essential medicines
whats a risk factor
any characteristic or exposure of an individual that increases likelihood of developing a disease
consequences of high blood pressure?
plaque formation - causes blockage
endothelial damage
kidney failure
heart infarction
what leads to high levels of LDL?
saturated fatty acids
whats a normal cholesterol value?
whats a slightly increased cholesterol value?
severe increase?strong increase?
5.0mmol/liter
- 6.4
6.5-7.9
>=8mmol / l
effect of smoking on cholesterol?
reduces HDL cholesterol

ideal waist size per gender?
ideal body fat %?
M <102, <20%
F: <88cm, <30%
function of insulin?
stimulates absorption of glucose from the bloodstream; converts glucose into glycogen, lowers blood glucose
type 1 diabetes mellitus: describe
autoimmune disease, body unable to produce insulin
T2DM: describe
increase in blood sugar, body has become less sensitive to insulin - increases insulin resistance, decreases sensitivity
normal blood sugar values?
4 - 8mmol /l
