What medical term is used for a condition that results from pulmonary
hypertension, creating chronic pressure overload in the right ventricle?
- ANSWER Cor pulmonale
Positive risk factors for coronary heart disease
- ANSWER Age, Genetics, Smoking, Excess cholesterol, Diabetes, Sedentary
lifestyle
What is the initiating event that leads to the development of atherosclerosis? -
ANSWER Injury to the endothelial cells that line the artery walls
Amyloidosis, hemochromatosis, or glycogen storage disease usually causes which
form of cardiomyopathy?
- ANSWER Restrictive
A patient is diagnosed with pulmonary disease and elevated pulmonary vascular
resistance. Which form of heart failure may result from pulmonary disease and
elevated pulmonary vascular resistance?
- ANSWER Right heart failure
,In systolic heart failure, what effect does the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone
system (RAAS) have on stroke volume?
- ANSWER Increases preload and increases afterload
Causes of CHF
- ANSWER Coronary artery disease.
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Longstanding alcohol abuse.
Disorders of the disorders of the heart valves.
Unknown (idiopathic) causes, such as after recovery from myocarditis
In the physical examination of an individual, factors that would evidence
atherosclerotic plaque
- ANSWER Arterial bruit and evidence of decreased blood flow to tissues
What electrocardiogram (ECG) change would the healthcare professional assess
for when a patient's myocardial infarction extends through the myocardium from
the endocardium to the epicardium?
- ANSWER
Pathophysiology of Angina
- ANSWER Angina pectoris is chest pain caused by myocardial ischemia. Stable
angina is caused by gradual luminal narrowing and hardening of the arterial walls,
so that affected vessels cannot dilate in response to increased myocardial demand
associated with physical exertion or emotional stress. With rest, blood flow is
restored and no necrosis of myocardial cells results.
, Which event triggers congenital heart defects that cause acyanotic congestive
heart failure?
- ANSWER Left-to-right shunts
American College of Cardiology (ACC)/ American Heart Association (AHA)
guidelines classification of heart failure
- ANSWER Stage A: A person has a high risk of heart failure but currently has no
identifiable disorders.
Stage B: A person has a structural heart disorder but is not presenting symptoms.
Stage C: A person has current or prior symptoms of heart failure associated with
an underlying condition.
Stage D: A person currently has advanced structural heart disease, shows clear
symptoms, and requires specialized medical intervention.
Causes of Acute congestive heart failure
- ANSWER Infections, allergic reactions, a blood clot in your lungs, viruses that
damage the heart
cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, severely irregular heartbeats, heart attack
Causes of chronic failure
- ANSWER Coronary artery disease and heart attack
High blood pressure (hypertension).
Faulty heart valves.
Damage to the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy)
Myocarditis
congenital heart defects
