W1: Cardiovascular Alterations Flashcards
Disorders of pericardium
Acute Pericarditis
Constrictive/restrive Pericarditis
Percardial Effusion
Acute Percarditis
acute inflammation of the eprcardium
Acute Percarditis: CM
fever
malaygia
malaise
sudden onset of severe chest pain
Acute Percarditis: Tx
rest
salicylates
non-steroidal inflammatory drugs (nonsteroidals + colchicine)
Restrictive Percarditis
fibrous scarring + calcification of percardium = parietal and visceral layers of percarium sticking
Restrictive Percarditis: CM
exercise intolerance
dyspnea upon exertion
fatigue
anorexia
Restrictive Percarditis: Tx
dietary restriction of sodium
diueretics (CO)
antiinflammatory drugs
surgical excision
Percardial Effusion
accumulation of fluid in percardial cavity
tamponade
Percardial Effusion: Tx
percardiocentesis
Disorders of the myocardium: overview
d/t neurohumoral responses to ischemic heart disease OR HTN –> remodelling
cause is idiopathic
Cardiomyopathies
dilated cardiomyopathy
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy
- hypertensive / valvular cardiomyopathy
restrictive cardiomyopathy
Dilated Cardiomyopathy
impaired systolic function –> inc. intracardiac volume, ventricular dilation, systolic HF
Dilated Cardiomyopathy: Cause
ischemic heart disease
hypothyroidism
alcohol
drug toxicity
valvular disease
renal faliure
diabetes
infection
dec. Vit D, selenium, niacin
Dilated Cardiomyopathy: CM
dyspnea
fatigue
pedal edema
Dilated Cardiomyopathy: Tx
dec. BV
inc. contractility
reverse underlying cause
Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy
defect of thick septal wall
Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy: CM
angina
syncope
palpitation
symps of MI
symps of L. HF
Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy: Tx
beta-blockers, ACE Inhibators
surgical resection
septal ablaiton
cardioverterfibrillators (high-risk)
Hypertensive/Valvular Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
hypertrophy of the myocytes- to compensate for inc. cardiac workload
Hypertensive/Valvular Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: CM
asymptomatic
angina
syncope
dyspnea upon exertion
palpitationsR
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
myocardiu becomes rigid + non-complicant = impedes ventricular filling, increased filling pressure during diastole
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy: CM
R-Heart Faliure
systemic venous congestion
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy: Tx
treat underlying cause
Valvular Heart Disease: Tx
fluig mgt
valve repair/replacement + LT anticoagulation therapy + lifelong antibiotic prophylaxis before invasive procedure
What to valaves normally do?
maintain normal direction of blood flow
Most common cause for valvular heart disease
rheumatic heart disease
Valvular Heart Disease: patho
wear and tear
hyperlipdemia, HTN, infammation –> calcification (stenosism, regurg, arrythmias)
Valvular Stenosi
narrowing of the orrifice
Aortic Stenosis
narrowing of the aortic valve orrifice = dec BF from LV into aorta
Aortic Stenosis: CM
angina
dyspnea
syncope
Aortic Stenosis: Tx
valave repair/ replacement + LT anticoag therapy
transcatheter aortic valve implantation
Aortic Stenosis: patho
stenosis –> inc LV pressure –> LV dec contractility —> inc LA pressure –> pulmonary edema (cough, dyspnea, orthopenea) AND dec CO –> tissue ischemia (oliguria, stroke, syncope, angina)
Mitral Stenosis
narrowing of the mitral valve
impaired BF from LA -> LV
d/t rheumatic fever
