NU 116 Module 3 Cardiovascular System Exam Questions and Answers| New Update with
100% Correct Answers
Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) damage to the heart from the complete or partial blockage of
the arteries that provide oxygen to the heart
coronary artery disease (CAD) atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries that reduces the
blood supply to the heart muscle
hypertension (HTN) elevated blood pressure persistently higher than 140/90 mm Hg
Cerebral Vascular Disease (CVA) cerebrovascular accident (stroke)
rheumatic heart disease (RHD) serious pathological condition resulting from rheumatic
fever, commonly causing permanent scarring of the heart valves, especially the mitral valve
congential heart disease abnormalities in the heart at birth
SBP premature infants/newborns 80-90 mmHg average
DBP premature infants/newborns 40-60 mmHg average
HR premature infants/newborns 130-160 bpm
Strep affects which valve? mitral valve when untreated
Increase risk for cardiopulmonary disease in young adults unhealthy diet, lack of exercise,
stress, smoking, and drugs
, Results in increase in B/P lifestyle contributes to process of calcification, fatty deposition,
and diminished elasticity
HTN common in middle adulthood
Changes in older adult cardiovascular blood vessels less elastic
increase in calcification
impaired valve function
decrease muscle tone
decrease in baroreceptor response/decrease in conductivity = orthostatic hypotension, falls,
dizziness
orthostatic hypotension Decrease in blood pressure related to positional or postural
changes from lying to sitting or standing positions
Baroreceptors Cells that are sensitive to blood pressure changes.
lipid panel series of blood tests (total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density
lipoprotein, and triglycerides) used to assess risk factors of ischemic heart disease
Total Cholesterol <200 mg/dL
Triglycerides <150 mg/dL
LDL (low density lipoprotein) <100 mg/dl (bad)
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) >40 M >50 F (good)
