pulmonary and cv exam Flashcards
normal range of systolic blood pressure
100-140 mmhg
normal diastolic range
65-90 mmhg
what is mean arterial pressure?
the normal range?
the average arterial pressure during a single cardiac cycle
75-90 mmhg
how do you calculate MAP?
[ (SPB + 2DPB)] /3
What is the required mmhg required for organ perfusion?
> 60 mmHg
What is Frank starlings law?
HR X SV = CO
FLOW = FREQUENCY X VOLUME
define Preload
filling pressure (Volume)
define Afterload
resistance against contraction (pressure)
HR is the number of _____?
contractions
define contractility
force of contraction
how does the nervous system control BP
sympathetic and parasympathetic receptors adrenal hormones (fight or flight)
How does the renal system respond to low blood pressure
RAAS - with vasoconstriction and aldosterone
how does the endocrine system regulate bp
release of ADH,
increase blood volume -> increase SV -
raises blood pressure
a SUSTAINED increase in peripheral resistance and/or increase in blood volume is known as
hypertension
a decrease in blood pressure RESULTING IN CLINICAL EFFECTS
hypotension
what are the 3 types of HTN
Primary
Secondary
Systolic
Which type of htn is caused by environmental events
primary
what type of htn is caused by systemic diseases that increase peripheral resistance or volume
secondary
which type of HTN is common after a CVA or MI and causes aortic rigidity in older patients?
Systolic
What is the pathophysiology involving the myocardial wall caused by High BP?
high BP = THICKENING of myocardial wall
THICKENING causes increased contractility
what causes distensibility and decreased radius during HTN ?
arterial smooth muscles in the heart STIFFEN and narrowing of the lumen
What causes increased preload in patients with HTN?
INFLAMMATION, increased permeability and Na and H2O retention
what is the clinical significance of HTN in the Brain, Heart, Kidnets and Retina
Heart- failure, angina, MI
Brain- aneurysm, ischemia, stroke
Kidneys- insufficiency and failure
Retina- blood vessel sclerosis
What is the recommended treatment for patients with HTN
reducing risk factors, lose weight, exercise, reduce stress, nutrition, etc…
CAD causing hardening of medium - large arteries
Arterioslcerosis
CAD hardening of small arteries
ArterioROSclerosis
CAD hardening of arteries caused by atheromatous plaque
Atherosclerosis
What is the pathogenisis (development) of Atheroslerosis, what is the qualifying Cholesterol level
*excess lipids fill smooth muscles
plateletes are activated and call upon thrombi
Complicated lesions -> nectrotic occlusion(blockage)
<140
Clinical manifestations of CAD related to inadequate perfusion of tissues and injury vs. death
angina, MI
transient ischemia vs. CVA (stroke)
Hypertension
Unmodifiable risk factors of CAD
age, gender, genetic history
modifiable risk factors of CAD
LDL levels HTN smoking sedentary lifestyle obesity
Angina (myocardial ischemia)
pain caused by insufficient blood supply to the heart, inc heart rate, inc coronary vascular resistance
Which type of angina has a pattern of onset, intensity and and is usually induced by activity
Stable Angina
describe Unstable angina and immediate interventions
progressive, sudden, unpredictable, increased coronary stenosis
immediate tertiary intervention
What cause is thought to be associated with Prinzmetal angina
stress, SPASMS of CA, bursts of pain
the clinical manifestations for angina(myocardial ischemia)
chest pain, heavy and constrictive feeling, indigestion, anxiety, feeling of impending doom. Gender must be considered when assessing sx.
Dx test for angina
EKG, stress test, nuclear imaging, angiogram
tx of coronary artery occlusion
dec BP, HR and contractility– possible
surgery
destruction of cardiac cells caused by inadequate blood supply from CA is known as
Myocardial Infarction
what can happen within hours of an MI
irreversible hypoxia and cell death
