Pathophysiology (Chapter 8: Cardiovascular
System Diseases and Disorders) Questions and
Correct Answers.
Space between the lungs - ANS mediastinum
Invasive procedure to determine oxygen content and blood pressure
provides the most extensive details regarding the valvar disorder. - ANS Cardiac
catheterization:
Leading cause of stroke and heart failure - ANS Hypertension
Loss of elasticity and thickening of artery wall, also known as hardening of arteries due
to Deposits of fatty or lipid material. - ANS Atherosclerosis
(remove of Plaque (build-up) - ANS Endarterectomy
disease of arteries and veins outside the heart and the head.
Caused by atherosclerotic plaque in arteries supplying blood to legs (the most common
body part affected in PVD)
Intermittent claudication: Muscle cramps relieved with rest and increased with activity
Risk factors: old age, smoker, suffer from calf pain that starts with walking and resolve
by rest.
diagnosis: screened by ABI (ankle-brachial index) - ANS Peripheral vascular disease
(PVD):
asymptomatic and discovered accidentally.
Aorta: Most common location
Very old age patient, chronic hypertension, asymptomatic and on physical exam
accidentally discovered aortic aneurysm.
congenital aneurysm: are not preventable - ANS Aneurysm
death of the heart muscle due to lack of oxygen supply. - ANS Myocardial infarction
caused by streptococcal throat infection - ANS Rheumatic heart disease
inflammation of veins, risk factors: prolonged bed rest and obesity, treatment:
Exercise to avoid Thrombophlebitis - ANS Phlebitis
