1. What is the effect of oxidized low density lipoproteins (LDLs) in atherosclero-
sis: LDLs cause smooth muscle proliferation
2. Which inflammatory cytokines are released when endothelial cells are in-
jured: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), interferon-gamma (IFN-y), and interleukin 1 (IL-1)
3. When endothelia cells are injured, which alteration contributes to atheroscle-
rosis: Cells are unable to make the normal amount of vasodilating cytokines
4. Which factor is responsible for hypertrophy of the myocardium associated
with hypertension: Angiotensin II
5. Which effect does atherosclerosis have on the development of an aneurysm-
: Atherosclerosis erodes the vessel walls
6. Regarding the endothelium, what is the difference between healthy vessel
walls and those that promote clot formation: Inflammation and roughening of the endothelium
of the artery are present
7. Which form of angina occurs most often during sleep as a result of va-
sospasms of one or more coronary arteries: Prinzmetal
8. The pulsus paradoxus that occurs as a result of pericardial effusion is caused
by a dysfunction in which mechanism: Diastolic filling pressure of the left ventricle and reduction of
blood volume in all four heart chambers
9. Ventricular dilation and grossly impaired systolic function, leading to dilated
heart failure, characterize which form of cardiomyopathy: Congestive
10. Amyloidosis, hemochromatosis, or glycogen storage disease usually causes
which form of cardiomyopathy: Restrictive
11. In systolic heart failure, what effect does the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone
system (RAAS) have on stroke volume: Increases preload and increase afterload
12. What is the cause of the dyspnea resulting from a thoracic aneurysm: Pressure
on surrounding organs
13. Which statement is true concerning the cells' ability to synthesize choles-
terol: Most body cells are capable of producing cholesterol
14. What is the trigger for angina pectoris: Myocardial Ischemia
15. Individuals being effectively managed for type 2 diabetes mellitus often
experience a healthy decline in blood pressure as a result of which interven-
tion: Insulin-sensitivity medication therapy
