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
