Hypertension
A common cause of diastolic heart failure
is:
long-term hypertension is a common cause of diastolic heart failure.
myocarditis
Diastolic dysfunction occurs when the filling of one or both ventricles is impaired
myocardial infarction
because the ventricle has become less compliant.
dilated cardiomyopathy
The heart must pump more forcefully in order to push blood into circulation against
hypertension
increased vascular resistance.
Prinzmetal's angina
Which type of angina results from coronary Results from coronary artery vasospasm and occurs in an atypical pattern. It is
artery vasospasm and occurs in atypical usually at a single site. It can occur in a normal or disease vessel. Pain is usually
patterns? resolved with angina medication.
Classic angina Classic (stable angina) occurs when the heart is stressed, lasts less than 5 minutes,
Prinzmetal's and usually resolves with rest.
angina Unstable Unstable angina is considered a medical emergency because it lasts longer than
angina Pleuritic 5 minutes, does not follow the normal pain pattern, and may not resolve with rest
chest pain or angina medication. It is often associated or signals a MI.
A patient who is in cardiogenic shock will mixed venous oxygen saturation
present with:
a high cardiac index Patients will have a low cardiac index, elevated filling pressures of the left, right, or
decreased vascular both ventricles, and a decreased mixed venous oxygen saturation.
resistance
increased ventricular ejection fraction
mixed venous oxygen saturation
, With each heart beat, blood within the left aorta and pulmonary artery
and right ventricle is ejected into the:
left atrium only
aorta and pulmonary artery
anterior descending artery
right coronary artery
The primary cause of cardiogenic shock in failure of the ventricle to pump adequately
a patient with an acute MI is:
failure of the ventricle to pump blood
adequately
failure of the aortic valve to pump blood
adequately
regurgitation of the tricuspid valve
regurgitation of the mitral valve
Unstable angina is characterized by: increased crescendo angina
angina with prolonged activity
angina symptoms lasting >6 months. unstable angina is characterized by prolonged angina at rest (usually >20 minutes at
increasing crescendo angina rest), and increasing crescendo angina (now more frequent & longer duration)
angina with elevated cardiac markers
Which one of the following produces varicose veins
visible evidence of an underlying problem
with reverse venous flow?
cellulitis
bruising
stasis dermatitis
varicose veins
Which one of the following is NOT an end-organ hyperperfusion
assessment finding in a patient who
is experiencing shock?
low urine output
end-organ hyperperfusion
poor mentation
hypotension
A progressive disease of heart muscle that dilated cardiomyopathy
is characterized by ventricular
chamber enlargement and contractile
dysfunction is: acute coronary
syndrome
cardiac tamponade
dilated cardiomyopathy
thyrotoxicosis
Patients with acute coronary syndrome may oxygen demand
experience chest pain secondary to:
arterial vasodilation
oxygen demand
potassium depletion
elevated creatine
