Effects of hypokalemia on an EKG
Give this one a try later!
- ST depression & flattening of the T wave
- Negative T waves
- A U-wave may be visible
,What's happening to the blood flow in valvular heart disease?
Give this one a try later!
Blood will back flow & less blood will continue moving forward
How does Viagra reduce pulmonary HTN?
Give this one a try later!
It relaxes vascular smooth muscle, which reduces the workload on the right
ventricle
Rheumatic Fever
Give this one a try later!
Autoimmune inflammatory disease that follows an initial infection by some
strains of group A beta-hemolytic streptococci (usually an upper
respiratory infection)
Diagnostic heart cath
Give this one a try later!
, - To take a look in the heart
- Inject dye to map out blood flow to see if the arteries are patent in the
heart muscle
The older patient with coronary artery disease (CAD) is more likely to have what
symptom if experiencing cardiac ischemia?
A. Syncope
B. Dyspnea
C. Chest pain
D. Depression
Give this one a try later!
B. Dyspnea: chest pain may not be evident in the older patient with CAD.
Symptoms such as unexplained dyspnea, confusion, or GI symptoms be
noted
Out of CPK-MB, Troponin, & Myoglobin, which one goes up FIRST?
Give this one a try later!
Myoglobin, but it isn't cardiac specific--just tells us we have muscle
damage somewhere
What are clinical manifestations of coarctation of aorta?
Give this one a try later!
, - Bounding pulses ABOVE the obstruction (arms)
- Weak pulses BELOW obstruction (feet & legs)
- Decreased urinary output
- Absent hair in the legs
- Prolonged cap refill in the feet
- Red face
- Periorbital edema
- High BP in the arms; low BP in the legs
- Cool legs
Increased afterload =
Give this one a try later!
Increased workload of the heart & blood will begin to back up to where it
came from
What clinical manifestations will you see in a post-CABG complication regarding
hypokalemia?
Give this one a try later!
- Flat T-waves
- Present U-waves
- Muscle weakness
- Check K+ levels in labs
