18
Q

What is angiotensin II’s effect on the body?

A

increased aldosterone
increased ADH
global vasoconstriction

19
Q

What converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I?

A

renin

20
Q

What is the order of products to turn G3P into a TAG?

A

G3P –> lysophosphatidic acid –> phosphatidic acid –> DAG –> TAG

21
Q

What enzyme is the target of statins?

A

HMG CoA reductase

22
Q

What would happen to the pressure-volume loop with increased preload?

A

increases on the right side only

23
Q

What would happen to the pressure-volume loop with increased afterload?

A

becomes taller

24
Q

What would happen to the pressure-volume loop with increased contractility?

A

becomes taller and wider to the left

25
Q

Which cardiac enzyme is the best marker of a new MI?

A

CK-MB

26
Q

What causes renin secretion?

A

B1 adrenergic stimulation on juxtaglomerular cells

27
Q

What receptors respond to hyperosmolarity of the blood?

A

V1 and V2 –> vasopressin/ADH

28
Q

what ANS receptor is responsible for increased K+ uptake into cells?

A

Beta 2

29
Q

How does digoxin interact w/ ANS receptors?

A

indirectly stimulates M2 receptors in the heart

30
Q

What is an undulating baseline on EKG a key sign of?

A

Atrial fibrillation

31
Q

What is aspirin used for in relation to heart disease?

A

aspirin is a COX inhibitor –> prevents formation of thromboxane A2 –> prevents further occlusion of arteries

32
Q

How would aortic stenosis affect the pressure-volume loop?

A

would increase afterload –> increase the height

end up decreasing contractility

33
Q

What does BNP do?

A

arteriolar dilation
increases fluid loss
inhibits renin

34
Q

What happens to the volume-pressure curves after hemorrhage?

A

increase preload

increase contractility

35
Q

What type of drug should you prescribe for heart failure and asthma?

A

beta 1 and beta 2 agonist

36
Q

At what grade of murmur can you start hearing a thrill?

A

grade 4

37
Q

what do the jugular veins reflect?

A

the activity of the right side of the heart (central venous pressure (CVP) and RA pressure)
internal jugular is better est than external

38
Q

How do you measure JVP?

A

place pt in supin pos –> raise to 30-45 degrees

normal JVP is 0-9

39
Q

What are the most common causes of an elevated JVP?

A

elevated right ventricle diastolic pressure
SVC obstruction
severe heart failure

40
Q

Which JVP wave doesn’t have any clinical significance?

A

C = due to ventricular contraction

41
Q

What is the downward slope after the V wave in JVP due to?

A

tricuspid valve opening

42
Q

What are the main causes of hepato jugular reflex?

A

poorly compliant RV or RV failure
constrictive pericarditis
obstructive RV filling by TS or RA tumor

43
Q

How is hormone sensitive lipase activated?

A

phosphorylated through PKA
