1 Hypertensive Emergency 2 Hydrochlorothiazide (contraindication)
3 congestive heart failure (CHF) 4 Metabolic Syndrome
Don't know?
Terms in this set (86)
Hypertensive Emergency Abrupt elevation of BP to > 220/140
Hypertensive Urgency Elevation of BP to 180/110
Normal BP of less than 120/80 mm HG
Pre-Hypertension BP of 120 to 139/80 to 89 mm Hg
, Metabolic Syndrome Major Risk factor for Coronary Artery Disease
(CAD)!!!
- must have at least 3 symptoms: obesity, low HDL
levels, and insulin resistance.
CAD pain is due to narrowed vessels that cannot
deliver enough oxygen to myocardium.
Ischemia Too little blood flow to somewhere
Angina Pectoralis Chest pain d/t transient ischemia causing reversible
cellular injury.
Acute Coronary Syndrome Acutely reduced coronary blood flow
Myocardial Infarction Sustained ischemia causing irreversible cellular
death.
Stable Angina •Same pattern of onset, duration, and intensity
•Pain with exercise
•ST segment depression
Unstable Angina •Deterioration of atherosclerotic plaque
•Risk of progression to MI
•Increased frequency and easily provoked
•Pain at rest
Angina Pectoralis (diagnosis) •12 lead ECG & Telemetry
•Exercise or chemical stress test
•Radionuclide testing
•Echocardiogram
•Cardiac Catherization
congestive heart failure (CHF) Heart is unable to pump adequate amount of blood
to meet metabolic and oxygenation needs of body
tissues.
Backup of fluid into the pulmonary or peripheral
circulation
Systolic heart failure problem with ventricle emptying
