, o ACS - an umbrella term for ischemic coronary disease ranging from
UNSTABLE angina to MI
o Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease - Chronic STABLE angina, silent MI, and
variant or vasospastic angina
Sepsis
Give this one a try later!
Inflammatory mediators released into circulation increasing metabolic rate
of tissues and increasing the demand for oxygen
Functions of the pericardium
Give this one a try later!
-Isolates the heart from other thoracic structures
-Maintains its position in the thorax
-Prevents it from overfilling
-Contributes to coupling the distensibility between the two ventricles
during diastole; they both fill equally
Angina - Stable vs Unstable
Give this one a try later!
1. stable angina: pain when the heart's oxygen demand increases; exertional
angina relieved with rest or sublingual nitroglycerin
, 2. unstable angina: risk for MI or death, presents with low level activity or
rest; exercise contradindicated

variant/vasospastic angina
Give this one a try later!
pain when coronary arteries spasm
Valve stenosis
Give this one a try later!
when valves become narrower than normal, impeding the
flow of blood.
