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

how to treat atrial fibrillation
beta/ca channel blockers, surgery
how to treat coronary artery disease
-lifestyle changes

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
