Review Flashcards
Raynaud’s dz
vasospastic
digitalis (pharm)
increase intracellular calcium conc
increase contractility
increase heart’s mechanical pumping ability
positive intropic –> increase myocardial contraction force
60 year old man w/ abdominal mass
abdominal aortic aneurysm
myocardial infarction
ischemia leading to necrosis of myocardium
how is there necrosis of myocardium during MI
ischemia
lack of blood flood
right sided heart failure
right sided ventricular dysfunction secondary to etiher left sided heart failure or pulmonary dz
cor pulmonae
cor pulmonae
abnormal enlargement of the right side of the heart d/t dz in the lungs or pulmonary blood vessels
RS HF signs
edema
jugular vein distension
abdominal pain
right upper quadrant pain
cyanosis
peripheral edema (in LE)
left sided heart failure
LV cannot maintain adequate CO to the body
LS HF signs
dyspnea
fatigue
muscle weakness
renal changes
Pulmonary edema
arrythmia that is a medical emergency
ventricular fibrillation
sudden cardiac death in young male athlete
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
someone is using drugs and develops infective endocarditis, which valve is most likely affected
mitral valve
MATP
aortic radialation
tunica media composed of smooth muscle
DVT
occlusion of a vein by a clot (thrombus) w/ secondary inflammatory reaction in the wall of the vein
trauma to endothelium of the vein wall exposes subendothelial tissues to platelets and clotting factors (thrombosis)
mural thrombosis
thrombus attaches to the wall but doesnt occlude the vessel
occlusive thrombosis
thrombus attaches to the wall and occludes the vessel
superficial DVT
saphenous v
deep DVT
femoral or iliac v
DVT is the
3rd most common CV dz
most common cause of pulmonary embolism
what is wrong when there is pooling of blood
ineffective valves
varicose veins
abnormal dilation of veins usually in lE
