Atherosclerosis
Progressive Disease when a person has high LDL and endothelial damage
Desirable LDL
<130 mg/dl
High LDL Cholesterol
> 160 mg/dl
Desirable cholesterol
<200
High Cholesterol
> 240
How to lower cholesterol
- increase fiber
- stop smoking
- decrease saturated trans fats
Peripheral Artery Disease
- in LE from atherosclerosis
- aggregated when elevated elevated extremity
- relieved by hanging foot
Intermittent CLAUDICATION
Limping due to pain
ABI helps to determine the extent of what???
PAD
Normal ABI
> .96
What ABI is diagnostic
<.8 possible CLAUDICATION
HTN
- prolonged causes smooth muscle cell proliferation and >vascular resistance
- increased bp
Orthostatic Hypotension
Decreased systolic or diastolic by 10-20mmHg
Increased HR by 10-20bpm
What do you do if you suspect DVT
Wells & Colleagues Clinical Decision Rule
Venous Insufficiency VS Arterial Insufficiency
VENOUS: medial malleolus; irregular shape; red; shallow; COPIOUS drainage; pain decreased with elevation; pitting edema
ARTERIAL: malleolus, distal toes; punched out; pale granulation; little to no drainage; pain increased with elevation
Congestive Heart Failure
Inability of heart to pump adequate amts of blood through circulation
Left Sided CHF
- persistent cough
- pools in R to lungs
Right Sided CHF
- pooling in left would go to extremities
Jugular dissension
Dependent edema (starting in ankles)
Pitting edema in LE
Cor Pulmonale
leads to R sided failure
Normal Ejection Fraction
> 50%
Adrenergic
- related to epi and nor epi
Adrenergic Agonist
Stimulate activity
Adrenergic antagonist
Inhibit activity
