Test 3 diseases part 1 Flashcards
two atria in heart beat irregularly and out of rhythm with lower ventricles
atrial fibrillation
narrowing of coronary arteries to such extension that there is inadequate blood supply to portions of myocardium
coronary artery disease
uncomfortable squeezing, pressure or pain in chest from ischemia
angina pectoris
major symptoms of atrial fibrillation
tachycardia, chest pain, SOB
major symptoms of coronary artery disease
burning in chest, radiation to neck,sweating
major symptoms of angina pectoris
radiation to neck, shoulder, chest tightness, women have abdominal and back pain
md of atrial fibrillation
-Holter monitor
-ECG
-video pathysmography
MD of coronary artery disease
-ECG, MRA
-stress test and echo
-cardiac catheterization
MD of angina pectoris
-ECG and stress test
-MRA
-cardiac catheterization
how to treat atrial fibrillation
beta/ca channel blockers, surgery
how to treat coronary artery disease
-lifestyle changes
-medication or surgery
how to treat angina pectoris
-lifestyle change and meds
-percutaneous coronary intervention
-minimal invasive surgery
occlusion of one or more coronary arteries and subsequent necrosis of section of heart tissue
myocardial infarction
abrupt loss of heart beating
cardiac arrest
affects left and/or right ventricle limiting pumping power of heart muscle
congestive heart failure
major symptom of myocardial infarction
-women feel nausea, fatigue, SOB
-chest pain, radiate to left arm, etc.
major symptoms of cardiac arest
sudden tachy or brady cardia
-prolonged angina
major symptoms of congestive heart failure
LV failure: dyspnea, palpitations, edema
RV failure: hepatomegaly, JVD
MD of myocardial infarction
-episode of chest pain, ECG, elevated CPK, CAD history
MD of cardiac arrest
-absence of respiratory and pulse, ECG
MD of congestive heart failure
-ECG, chest x-ray
-CBC
-Cardiac CT and MRI
treatment for congestive heart failure
diuretics, bed rest, ACE inhibitors
treatment of cardiac arrest
CPR, defibrillator
treatment of myocardial infarction
-therapeutic hypothermia, analgesia, NTG
persistently elevated BP that develops without cause
hypertension
symptoms of hypertension
asymptomatic
MD for hypertension
BD, Bruits
treatment for hypertension
lifestyle change, diuretics, antihypertensive drugs
thickening of walls and of small arteries and arterioles
atherosclerosis
major symptoms of atherosclerosis
-asymptomatic, if symptomatic: headache, dizziness
MD for atherosclerosis

-CT scan
treatment for atherosclerosis
-exercise, meds, asprin, bypass surgery
inadequate reserves of iron
iron deficiency anemia
major symptoms of iron deficiency anemia
-pallor, headache, cold hands and feet
MD for iron deficiency anemia
blood test, ultrasound, colonoscopy
treatment for iron deficiency anemia
daily iron supplements
