Quiz 3 Flashcards
What is the most common cause of congestive heart failure?
-Cardiac Muscle Dysfunction
What does cardiac muscle dysfunction present with?
-impaired aerobic capacity and endurance, with cardiovascular pump dysfunction or failure
How does hypertension cause cardiac muscle dysfunction?
-increased arterial pressure leads to LV hypertrophy; leads to over stretched contractile fibers and an ineffective pump
What is the second most common cause of cardiac muscle dysfunction?
-Coronary Artery Disease
What can occur post CABG that can cause cardiac muscle dysfunction?
-post perfusion pump syndrome
Atrial fibrillation can cause what?
-Ventricular tachycardia
How can renal insufficiency cause cardiac muscle dysfunction?
-it can cause fluid overload= increase BP
What is the primary cause of cardiomyopathy that leads to cardiac muscle dysfunction?
-myocardium being replaced by fatty or scar tissue and beings to lose the ability to receive and transmit impulses
What protein is produced in bone marrow that can be deposited in the heart and lead to cardiomyopathy and eventually CMD?
-Amyloid
What type of cardiomyopathy referred to the myocardium being stretched causing it to pump ineffectively?
-Dilated cardiomyopathy
Dilated cardiomyopathy normally effects what heart chamber?
-The LV
Dilated cardiomyopathy also causes a decrease in what?
-Mitochondria
Dilated Cardiomyopathy will cause what two things to be elevated?
-End Diastolic volume and end diastolic pressure; further dilated the ventricle and decreasing contractility
Decreased energy associated with dilated cardiomyopathy causes what to be decreased?
-Stroke Volume (leads to increased HR to compensate)
Excessive nonfunctional cardiac muscle associated with a hypertophic cardiomyopathy can cause what dysfunction?
-stiffening of valves
What type of cardiomyopathy is associated with decreased myocardial compliance and decreased stretching of the myocardium leading to decreased end dialstolic volume?
-Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
A blocked valve will cause the heart to do what?
-Contract more forcefully
Heart valve dysfunctions are associated with what two types of cardiomyopathy?
-dilation and hypertrophy
Cardiac tamponade can cause elevated intracardiac pressures causing what?
-limited diastolic filling and causes a reduced stroke volume
What can pericarditic cause?
-Percardial effusion (elevated fluid levels in the pericardial sac)
What can cause CMD in the right ventricle?
-Pulmonary embolism
How can a pulmonary embolism cause CMD of the right ventricle?
-IT increased pulmonary pressures, and overworks the RV
Pulmonary pressures greater than what is considered hypertensive?
-25 mmHg
For COPD patients, pulmonary pressures greater than what are considered hypertensive?
-20 mmHG
Increased pulmonary pressures lead to what?
-RV hypertrophy
Spinal cord injuries to what segment typically cause CMD?
-Cervical
Why do C-spine SCIs cause CMD?
-It can cause an imblanace in sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation
What are the two most common congenital heart abnormalities?
-bicuspid valve abnormality, and leaflet abnormalities associated with mitral valve prolapse
Who does aging cause a decreased cardiac output?
-altering contraction and relaxation of cardiac muscle
Decreased vascular elasticity associated with aging will have what effect on the cardiovascular system?
-Increased BP
LV hypertrophy associated with aging have what effect on the heart?
-Decreased ventricular compliance
Decreased adrenergic responsiveness associated with aging will have what effect on the cardiovascular system?
-Decreased exercise HR
Decreases in the rate of calcium pumped by the sarcoplasmic reticulum associated with aging will have what effect on the heart?
-Prolonged times for relaxation
Prolonged time to peak contraction force of cardiac muscle contraction associated with aging will have what effect on the heart?
-Prolonged times of contraction
Decreased myocardial twitch force associated with aging will have what effect on the myocardium?
-reduction in contraction velocity
Decreased rate of ATPase hydrolysis associated with aging will have what effect on the myocardium?
-Reduction in shortening velocity
Decreased myosin ATPase activity associated with aging will have what effect on the myocardium?
-reduction in shortening velocity
Diastolic dysfunction associated with aging will have what effect on the heart?
-impaired ventricular filling with potential to increase cardiac preload and CHF
Decreased lean body mass associated with aging can cause what effects on the cardiovascular system?
-decreased muscle strength and peak oxygen consumption
What is the most common manifestation of heart failure?
-Pulmonary edema
What is the most common cause of pulmonary edema?
-LV failure
