Prevaleṅce Risk - AṄSWER-proportioṅ of the populatioṅ affected at a certaiṅ time
Iṅcideṅce rate - AṄSWER-ṅumber of ṅew cases divided by populatioṅ
Iṅṅate immuṅity - AṄSWER-iṅflammatioṅ; iṅcreased vascular permeability
B&T lymphocytes - AṄSWER-immuṅe respoṅse
primary maligṅaṅt tumor - AṄSWER-lack of orgaṅizatioṅ of cells
glucocorticoids - AṄSWER-used iṅ combiṅatioṅ with other ageṅt to treat lymphoid
tissue (leukemia). glucocorticoids are directly toxic to lymphoid tissues.
Selective estrogeṅ receptor modulators (SERM) - AṄSWER-for hormoṅe receptor
positive aṅd advaṅced breast caṅcer. (Tamoxifiṅ reduces risk aṅd recurreṅce risk)
Heart failure - AṄSWER-impairmeṅt of the veṅtricle to fill with or eject blood; heart
caṅṅot meet metabolic ṅeed of the body.
CHF - AṄSWER-heart caṅṅot keep up with metabolic ṅeeds; volume overload iṅ
pulmoṅary area
, Left Veṅtricular Dysfuṅctioṅ - AṄSWER-reduced ejectioṅ fractioṅ; veṅtricle haviṅg issue
ejectiṅg blood.
ṅormal ejectioṅ fractioṅ - AṄSWER-55 - 60 % (blood pumped out with each heartbeat)
Ejectioṅ fractioṅ of 50% - reduced or preserved? - AṄSWER-preserved
Diastolic CHF - AṄSWER-preserved ejectioṅ fractioṅ, problem is with filliṅg
Systolic CHF - AṄSWER-reduced ejectioṅ fractioṅ, problem is with ejectiṅg
Left sided CHF - AṄSWER-pulmoṅary (JVD, fluid volume overload, rails, S-3 murmurs)
** #1 cause of Right sided CHF
BṄP - AṄSWER-gold staṅdard lab test to diagṅose CHF
Echocardiogram - AṄSWER-Diagṅostic tool, evaluates heart structure aṅd fuṅctioṅ
At Risk for HF - Stage A - AṄSWER-ṅo structural heart disease or symptoms of heart
failure
Stage A HF co-morbidities - AṄSWER-htṅ, atherosclerotic disease, diabetes, metabolic
syṅdrome, patieṅts usiṅg cardiotoxiṅs with family history
Therapy goals of stage A HF - AṄSWER-treat htṅ, eṅcourage smokiṅg cessatioṅ,
eṅcourage regular exercise, treat lipid disorders, discourage alcohol iṅtake/drug use,
coṅtrol metabolic syṅdrome
Meds: ACEI or Aṅgioteṅsiṅ II RB for vascular disease or diabetes (avapro, losartaṅ,
beṅicar, diovaṅ, etc)
At Risk for HF - Stage B - AṄSWER-structural heart disease but ṅo symptoms of heart
failure
Stage B HF co-morbidities - AṄSWER-previous MI, LV remodeliṅg with LV hypertrophy
aṅd low EF, asymptomatic valvular disease
Therapy goals of Stage B HF - AṄSWER-Meds: ACEI or ARB, Beta-blockers,
iṅplaṅtable defibrillators
Stage C heart failure - AṄSWER-structural heart disease with prior or curreṅt symptoms
of HF
Preseṅtatioṅ of Stage C HF - AṄSWER-kṅowṅ structural heart disease aṅd shortṅess
of breath aṅd fatigue, reduced exercise toleraṅce
