Slide set 2 Flashcards
HTN is known as
> 140/90 - TXT or unTXT
Traditional risk factors (8)
Diabetes Dyslipdemia HTN Obesity (lack of PT) Tobacco smoking Age Male Family Hx
Palpitations is
the perception of ones own heart beat
Everyone with chest pain gets what tests
EKG, BP, CXR
Most common Cardinal compliant is
Dyspnea (Insidious)
Non-traditional risk factors (conditional) (8)
Coronary artery calcification Homocysteine Lipoprotein A Prothrombotic factors Proinflammatory markers (CRP) Small LDL particle size Subclinical atherosclerosis ESRD, Chronic inflam DZ, HIV
What disciplines are related to cardiology (5)
Endocrinology Hematology Immunology Nephrology Immunology
Sudden palpitations could mean
PSVT, VT, or PE
Cardinal S/S list (7)
Chest pain Claudication Dyspnea Edema Fatigue Palpitations Syncope or near syncope
Common atypical AMI individuals (4)
Female, Elderly, DM, CHF
Metabolic syndrome is a combo of
HTN, hyper-trigly, low HDL, Insulin resistance, visceral obesity
Elevated CRP could represent
Atherosclerotix plaque activity
What is Coronary-Artery calcification screening tool used for
CAD screening tool for asymptomatic pts
Becks triad is compsed of
JVD, HOTN, muffled heart tones
Most common reasons for palpitations
Arrythmias, PVC’s, and Anxiety
Homocysteine req what vitamins
B12 and folate
Coronary-Artery calcification uses what modality
CT scan
Elevated homocysteine could indicate
Increasing risk of CV events
Traditional risk factors - FamHx age M/F
1st degree and dx with CAD before M < 55 and F < 65
Atypical AMI is described as
AMI in the absence of Chest pain, or in the presents of Neck, Back, Jaw, or head pain
Paroxysmal Nocturnal Dyspnea is
Wakes you from sleep
Often what are cardiologic concerns of Dyspnea
CHF and LV dysfx
Most important component of understanding dyspnea is
OPQRST and Understanding when it occurs
Consider CRP levels in a clinically whole picture with what type of patient
Intermediate risk
DM is the equivalent to
CAD
Orthopnea is
Dyspnea when laying flat
Right sided heary dysfx can be handled by
Removing fluid
Most important component of understanding chest pain is
OPQRST
CV DZ starts when
10yo
Claudication is
Pain or lack of perfusion caused by atherosclerotic DZ
Fatigue is typically seen in
LHF
Becks triad is associated with what Dx
Tamponade
What composes a complete cardiac eval
Anatomic ABNLs (cause) Physiologic ABNLs (effect) Underlying Etiology Extent of functional disability
What is the equivalent of angina in the extremities
Claudication
Apolipoprotein A is highly dependent on what
Inheritance
Traditional risk factor - age of M/F
M > 45 and F > 55
Syncope is due to
Lack of perfusion to the brain
Fatigue is due to
Inability to perfuse MS system (brain and kidneys perfused)
Coronary-Artery calcification scores how
The higher the calcium score the higher the risk
Homocysteine comes from where
Methionine metabolism
What is the leading cause of mortality in the US
CV DZ
Traditional risk factors that are not modifiable
Age, male, FamHx
Whats the outcome of a congenital homocysteine metabolism issues
Premature atherosclerosis
