Fifth intercostal space & midclavicular line - ANS-Where have to the stethoscope be placed
whilst listening for the mitral valve?
Acute pericarditis - ANS-Symptoms:
Dyspnea, speedy & shallow breathes to avoid ache that is relieved by means of sitting up or
leaning forward and can radiate into left shoulder and arm
WORSE WITH DEEP BREATHING & WHEN LAYING DOWN
After Eating - ANS-Postprandial way a circumstance worsened or caused ____________, as
in Postprandial Hypotension (low blood pressure)
Aneurysm - ANS-a localized weak spot or balloon-like expansion of the wall of an artery
Aneurysm signs - ANS-Severe headache, nausea, vomiting, blurred imaginative and
prescient, sensitivity to mild, seizures, loss of recognition, seen throbbing mass, dizziness,
low or dropping BP
Angina (non variation) can be resulting from - ANS-Atherosclerosis (plaque building up in
arteries)
Angina Pectoris - ANS-chest ache that takes place when there may be an insufficient deliver
of blood to the heart muscle
Angina Symptoms - ANS-Chest Pain that's substernal, Increased with workout, decreased
with rest that can radiated to jaw or left arm.
∙Shortness of Breath
∙Diaphoresis
∙Nausea/indigestion
∙Fatigue
∙Palpitations
∙Syncope
Arrythmia - ANS-Abnormal coronary heart rhythm
Includes:
Fast = Tachycardia
Slow= Bradycardia
Irregular (& Fast) = Atrial fibrillation
Atherosclerosis - ANS-Hardening of the arteries, a condition in which fatty lipid deposits
(plaque) builds up at the inner walls of the arteries.
Includes:
-Coronary Artery Disease
-Peripheral Artery Disease
Atherosclerosis Symptoms - ANS-Usually asymptomatic until overdue tiers of disorder.
, Severe pain close to the coronary heart
Pain or numbness down the left arm
Leg pain whilst on foot
Dizziness
Nausea, weak point, unexpected perspiration
Atrial fibrillation - ANS-fast, random, ineffective contractions of the atrium
Bradycardia - ANS-abnormally gradual heartbeat
Congestive Heart Failure - ANS-When the heart is working/functioning less effectively than is
generally predicted.
Congestive Heart Failure Symptoms - ANS-Signs and symptoms may additionally
encompass:
-Shortness of breath (dyspnea) when you exert yourself or when you lie down
-Fatigue and weak point
-Swelling (edema) to your legs, ankles and ft
-Rapid or irregular heartbeat
-Reduced capacity to exercise
-Persistent cough or wheezing with white or pink blood-tinged phlegm
-Increased want to urinate at night time

-Lack of urge for food and nausea
-Difficulty concentrating or reduced alertness
-Sudden, severe shortness of breath and coughing up pink, foamy mucus
-Chest ache if caused by a heart attack
Coronary Artery Disease - ANS-A disorder of the arteries surrounding the coronary heart.
Symptoms encompass:
-Agina
-SOB
-Heart Attack
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) - ANS-The formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, maximum
usually in the legs or pelvis.
Life Threatening if detach and travel to lungs and/or coronary heart
DVT Symptoms - ANS-Symptoms of this consist of:
-Pain
-Local swelling
-Local redness
-Cyanosis with fever
-Enlarged veins within the affected vicinity
-Occasionally might also have no symptoms
False - ANS-T/F : Fever is a part of the typical signs for figuring out an acute myocardial
infarction (Heart attack)
False - ANS-T/F: As a person ages, their systolic blood strain will tend to lower.
Hypertension - ANS-better than ordinary blood strain
Hypertension signs and symptoms - ANS-Typically Asymptomatic however can show as:
-headache (usually in occipital location and occurs upon waking up)
-dizziness
