Quiz 2 Flashcards
Kuassmaul’s sign
distention of jugular vein during inspiration (intrathoracic psi increase) present in constrictive pericardiits
pulsus paradoxus
pulsus paradoxus when the SBP changes >10mm during inspiration. common in acute tamponade.
dobutamine class
a selective beta 1 agonist
causes greater vasodilation of the pulmonary and systemic vasculature. predominantly affects HR compared to SV
ionotropic
used in acute heart failure to increase CO
epi gtt low dose < ___ -___ ng/kg/min for beta effects only
at low doses it’s a beta agonist <10-30 nanogram/kg/min . alpha observed after this
isoproterenol is used in what patient population?
used primarily in previous cardiac transpolant pts
It is also used in 3rd degree BBB
flecainide is used to treat what condition?
effective for treating WPW pts
1C sodium channel blocker
tissues that are Ca2+ dependent
pacemaker cells
AV node. affected the most by this class
how to thrombolytics act?
they initiate plaminogen’s conversion to plasmin. plasmin causes degradation of thrombin.
what are platelets activated by?
von Willebrand factor
desmopressin is a V2 receptor agonist. what does it do?
increases vWf and factor VIII.
aminocaproic acid and tranexemic acid are antiplamin agents that…
inhibit fibrinolysis by inhibiting plasminogen activation
resistant HTN
when PT taking 3-4 antihypertensives of different classes.
refractory HTN
when PT taking 5 or moreantihypertensives of different classes. (0.5% of HTN pts…time to r/o 2ndary causes)
10kg of weight loss decreases SBP and DBP by
SBP- 6 mmHg
DBP- 4.6 mmHg
epi boluses for hypotension
10mcg (double dilution)
LCA divides into the
LAD and circumflex arteries
LAD divides into the
diagonal branches
circumflex artery gives rise to the
obtuse marginal arteries
where is the coronary sinus?
it is the venous drainage of the heart and is located at the right atrium bw inferior vena cava and tricuspid valve
unstable angina defn.
at rest, new onset, or increasing severity or frequency from previous stable angina
etiology of CAD
endothelial damage w cholesterol deposition, LDL formation, and macrophage infiltration
NSTEMI comes from…
coronary plaque rupture, vasoconstriction, luminal narrowing, inflammation or excessive O2 demand. Only 50% of NSTEMI patient have significant ECG findings.
___-___ days post MI, when is the tissue very soft, increasing the risk of rupture and aneurysm formation
4-7 days
how long does it take to heal after MI to heal and leave behind a fibrous, noncontracting region of thin wall myocardium? ventricular remodeling continues after this time.
3 months
coronary artery perfusion psi =
diastolic (aortic) - LVEDP
time to wait for elective surgery: angioplasty w/o stenting
2-4 weeks
time to wait for elective surgery: bare metal stent placement
at least 30 days
time to wait for elective surgery: CABG
at least 6 weeks
time to wait for elective surgery: DES stent placement
at least 12 months
early stent thrombus occurs
within 24 hours
