37
Q

What does ACEI stand for

A

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors

38
Q

How do diuretics work?

A

Reduces sodium reabsorption -> water to be pulled from the tissues to -> extracellular fluid is reduced -> BP lowers

39

49
Q

What are the aerobic exercise rec. for peripheral vascular disease PT

A

3 times/week
50-80% HRmax
minimum 15mins but building to >30mins
Typically walking

50
Q

What is the main exercise goal for heart failure patients

A

Improve peripheral O2 kinetics

51

A

40-85% peak VO2
30-60mins
3-5days/week

52
Q

What are the resistance exercise rec. for heart failure PT

A

single joint exercises to place less strain on myocardium
Reduce blood lactate following training

53
Q

What are the resistance exercise rec. for valvular disease PT

A

Exercise is not a form of treatment

54
Q

How is asthma diagnosed

A

Peak flow rate. If there is a >20% improvement from initial peak flow rate after taking medication, then asthma can be diagnosed

55
Q

What is peak flow rate

A

used to diagnose asthma. How quickly air can be expired

56
Q

What can trigger asthma during exercise

A

cool dry air

57
Q

What are the 2 types of COPD

A

Chronic bronchitis
Emphysema

58
Q

What is chronic bronchitis

A

Increased number and size of mucal glands in the airway

59
Q

What is emphysema

A

destruction of the bronchiole walls. Removes surface area for gas exchange, reducing O2 to be circulated around the body

60
Q

What is the primary cause of COPD

A

cigarette smoke

61
Q

What are the symptoms of COPD

A

Same as asthma

62
Q

What are the symptoms of cystic fibrosis

A

Same as COPD and asthma

62
Q

How is COPD diagnosed

A

FEV1:FVC ratio <70% = COPD. FEV1 is less than 80% of predicted value

Q

What is ventolin

A

fast acting asthma reliever. Bronchodilator

64
Q

What are Beta2-adrenoceptor agonists

A

salbutamol, levalbuterol

65
Q

No need for stomach digestion as it can head straight to the lungs

66
Q

What is the best mode of exercise for asthma PT

A

swimming

67
Q

What is extremely important for asthma PT

speed and elevation

74
Q

A

elevation in 1% intervals (starting at 2%)

75
Q

What increases in the Naughton protocol

A

Elevation (speed only increases from stage 1 -> 2)

76
Q

What is the P wave

A

polarisation of the atrioventricular node

77
Q

A

none. They can perform any test as long as they have reliver medication on stadby

depolarisation of the ventricles

79
Q

What is the T wave

A

Depolarisation of the ventricles

80

no

A

70-80%

A

Lower respiratory demand due to effort intensity + muscle mass used = more O2 required

83
