1. ASA class 1: Pt with no disturbance
2. ASA class 2: Pt with mild to moderate systemic disturbance
3. ASA class 3: Pt with severe systemic disturbance
4. ASA class 4: Pt with sever life threatening systemic disorder
5. ASA class 5: Pt is moribund with little chance of survival
6. Ischemia: Deficiency of blood to a body part due to functional constriction obstruction of a blood vessel
7. Angina pectoris: Pain in the chest with a feeling of suffocation usually due to a deficiency of blood supply to
the myocardium
8. Myocardial infarction: Necrosis of tissue of the myocardium resulting from an interruption of the blood
supply to the area, as in coronary thrombosis
9. Rheumatic heart disease: Damage to the heart, primarily the heart valves, caused by a systemic bacteria
infection
10. Mitral valve prolapse: A valvular heart disorder in which one or both mitral valve flaps close incompletely
11. Endocarditis: Inflammation of the myocardium (the lining of the cavities of the heart and connective tissue
bed on which it lies)
12. Hypertension: Elevated blood pressure. Greater that 140/90
13. Beta blockers: Medication to decrease the force and rate of contraction of the heart, eg, atenolol. Treats high
blood pressure
14. Vasodilators: Medications used to reduce the pressure in the vasculature, eg, Norvasc, Lisinopril, Diovan.
Treats high blood pressure
15. Diuretics: Medications to reduce the volume of fluid in the system (HCTZ, Lasix) promotes excretion of urine
and decrease of blood volume. treats high blood pressure
16. Congestive heart failure: A clinical syndrome due to heart disease and characterized by breathlessness
and abnormal water and sodium retention, resulting in edema
17. Digitalis: A pharmacologic agent used to treat congestive heart failure, A fib, atrial flutter and paroxysmal
tachycardia. It increases the force of cardiac contraction
18. Left sided heart failure: Left side of heart fails to pump blood out into the circulation efficiency, causing
blood to back up to the LUNGS
19. Right sides heart failure: Right side of the heart fails to pump blood efficiently to the lungs, causing
blood to back up in the peripheral circulation, causing peripheral edema
20. Congenital heart disease: Cardiac disease caused by a defect in the heart structure since birth
21. Arrhythmia: Any variation from the normal rhythm of the heartbeat
