Unit 2 Flashcards
PAD
Peripheral Artery Disease
Caused by atherosclerosis lesions in the arteries of the lower extremities that restrict blood flow distally
PAD
third leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity
PAD
Who is more affected from PAD
men and women equally
Who is at highest risk for PAD
The older you get the more risk, as well as African Americans
most potent risk factor for developing PAD
cigarette smoking
Signs and symptoms of __ include
- pain in legs with exertion
- hair loss
- cold or numb toes
- absent pulses in the feet
- smoot shiny skin
- muscle atrophy
PAD
PAD diagnostic test
ABI
Normal range for ABI
.9-1.0
.4-.69 is in what range for PAD
moderate disease
severe disease for PAD is classified by what ABI value
less than .4
mild disease range for ABI test
.7-.89
Normal BP range
<120, AND <80
elevated BP range
120-129, AND <80
Stage 1 Hypertension
130-139, OR 80-89
Stage 2 hyper tension
> 140, OR >90
Hypertensive Crisis
> 180 AND/OR >120
What population is most impacted from HTN
non-hispanic black adults
90% of cases as essential hypertension are caused from what things?
genetics, age, stress, obesity, DM, insulin resistance, alcohol abuse, sedentary lifestyle, high salt, low potassium
Why does HTN increase with age?
people become increasingly exposed to factors like inflammation and stress, as well as renal disorders which put them at risk for greater chance of HTN, as well as more changes to the body’s vaculature
the relationship between BMI and BP is ___
linear
Hypertension can cause issues like ___ failure, and____ resistance
renal failure, and insulin resistance & stress
With hypertension you will need clinical clearance from ?
PCP
Hypertensive BP values before exercise for aerobic activity
below 200/110 mm HG
Hypertensive BP values before exercise for strength training
below 180/110 mm HG
when do you stop exercise for a hypertensive client (BP values)
BP exceeds 250/115 OR isf SBP drops >10 mm Hg from baseline
Exercise prescription of someone with HTN
aerobic training most days of the week with 2-3 days of resistance training
considerations for exercise with HTN
post exercise hypotension, Valsalva maneuver, medication impact
CVA (cerebrovascular accident)
stroke
sudden death of brain cells following ischemia or hemorrhage
stroke
risk factors for stroke
inactivity, smoking, hypertension
occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is obstructed leading to loss of brain function or death
stroke
stroke resulting from thrombosis or embolism
ischemic
stroke caused by a rupture of a vessel in the brain and leaking of blood into the brain tissue or cerebrospinal fluid
hemorrhagic stroke
How long should an exercise test last?
8-12 minutes, 1-3 minute stages. Ramped protocol (increase in workload throughout)
what is the ramped recommendation for exercise testing?
1 MET per minute
example of isometric contraction during exercise testing
gripping handrails or handlebars
should isometric contractions be included in exercise testing
no, avoid all isometric contractions
what modality should be utilized during exercise testing?
large muscle groups, unless the patient has orthopedic or peripheral limitations
Room temperature during exercise testing
72 degrees Fahrenheit, with less than 60% humidity
- informed consent
- review patients medical history
- obtaining resting vital signs
- test explanations
these are all part of what phase of exercise testing
pre-test
