Q

4 determinants of myocardial blood flow?

A

1) resistance- needs to be low
2) diastolic BP- driving push of blood back to system and back to heart
3) vasomotor tone- driven by autonomic control which is triggered by NO relesased by shear forces(but message can’t get accrossed if there are plaque buildups blocking the endothelial cells from being shorn
4) LV end-diastolic pressure- pressure on LV right before it contracts, pressure needs to be good to inc. stretch to inc. force of contraction to get enough blood into coronary AA when it recoils…

Q

An active process involving molecular signals that produce altered cellular behavior as well as endothelial dysfunction and subsequent inflammatory response
translation: injury to vessel wall due to shear stress from lack of stretch, turbulent flow at bifurcations, etc. causes inflamm. response, releases cytokines, macrophages, forms scar tissue in your vessels)

Q

•Atherogenesis chain of effect

A
  1. Endothelial injury with increased infiltration of atherogenic lipoprotein(LDL, VLDL)
  2. Sub endothelial retention and modification of LDL,VLDL leads to intimal entry of monocytes and T lymphocytes
  3. Subintimal diffusion of monocytes to macrophage which internalize LDL ,transform into foam cells (First stage of fatty streak development)
  4. Hemodynamic stress or inflammatory process activate PDGF (platelet derived growth factor – angiogenisis) which will stimulate SMCs ending by having atherosclerotic plaque separated from blood by fibrous cap
  5. Death of foam cells by necrosis or apoptosis lead to necrotic core formation
  6. Rupture of fibrous cap, exposure of thrombogenic substrate, subsequent arterial thrombosis

60
Q

what 2 things determine oxygen consumption?

A

cardiac output

AVO2 difference

61
Q

what are the rate limiting factors for o2 consumption?

A

periphery in healthy ppl

CV system for diseased ppl

62
Q

how does exercise training affect o2 consumption?

A

increase in SV and in relaxation recoil gives more blood to cardiac mm tissue, improving perfusion
VO2= (HR*SV)(AO2-VO2)

63
Q

peak VO2 in healthy vs. CAD pts

A
healthy= 35-70 ml/kg/min
CAD= < 20 ml/kg/min
64
Q

what causes the difference in VO2s for diseased pts?

A

O2 delivery, usually uptake at the tissues is still unaffected and not the problem. (O2 delivery impaired bc of damage to the heart by MI resulting in dec. EF,SV and diastolic filling)

65
Q

what is abnormal HR recovery after exercise?

A

<22 bpm at 2 mins of SUPINE recovery

66
Q

what do beta blockers do?

A

inhibit sympathetic stimulation

67
Q

when do u use Ca channel blockers?

A

when beta blockers are not affective

68
Q

what do Ca channel blockers do?

A

block Ca from being able to bind to its receptors and stopping the mm contraction from occuring so that the heart rate has to stay lower or the blood vessels have to stay dilated.

69
Q

what medication improves LV fxn?

A

ACE inhibitors

70
Q

what do statins do?

A

decrease production of cholesterol in the liver and have anti-inflammatory effects.

71
Q

phases of cardiac rehab

A

I- ambulation for ADLS and home mobility only
II- exercise and risk reduction
III- maintence

72
Q

Cardiac Muscle dysfunction results from what?

A

from abnormality of structure or function, not from atherosclerosis

73
Q

what is the number one cause of CMD?

A

MI–>scar tissue decreases the heart’s ability to stretch and so SV and EF decrease
also caused by coronary atery spasm and thrombotic occlusion

74
Q

CMD is the number one cause of what?

A

CHF

75
Q

S&S of CMD as it leads to CHF

A

angina-worse with exercise
arrhythmias and conduction problems
EF= 30-40%, (norm is 60-70%)
inc. HR to maintain Q
MI
HTN
Myocardium stiffens
LV weakens and dilates (valves too=regurgitation)
pulmonary edema–>R vent has to work harder so it hypertrophies
renal insufficiency as inc. fluid overwhelms kidneys

76
Q

what causes ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathies?

A
ischemic= from MI
non-ischemic= from probs with the actual heart mm
77
Q

hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

A

inherited gene mutations
autosomal dominant
onset at ages 10-25
LV hypertrophy and dec. cavity size= dec. SV
poor heart relaxation= poor myocardial profusion

78
Q

restrictive cardiomyopathy

A

stiffening of cardiac walls due to infiltration by abnormal tissues
worst prognosis
diastolic dysfunction

79
Q

types of restrictive cardiomyopathy

A

amyloidosis- abnormal protein fibers (amyloids)

sarcoidosis: inflammatory disease that causes abnormal lumps to form in organs (usually lungs)
heochomatosis: iron overload, usually genetic

80
Q

S&S of CHF

A
cardiac silhouette 
fluid in lungs
EF >30%
cold, pale, cyanotic extremities
increased symp. activity in attempt to compensate for poor perfusion
S3 heart sound 
peripheral edema ( gaining >3lbs/day)
quick shallow breathing and dyspnea 
ascites
crackles/rales (heard with inspiration)
Jugular Vein Distention
paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea and orthopnea
81

A

S3 heart sound

82
Q

New York Heart Association Classifications

Class I: cardiac disease dx w/o limitation
Class 2: cardiac disease dx w/ slight limitation
-PA results in fatigue, dyspnea, palpatation, angina
Class 3: cardiac disease dx with marked limitation
-ok at rest but less than ordinary activities cause symps
Class 4:cardiac disease dx with inability to perform any PA w/o discomfort
- symps felt at rest, PA intensifies symps

83
Q

what happens to your renal system with CHF?

A

water retention due to decreased Q= oligouria (low output of urine) - treat with diuretics

84
Q

what is the MAX amount of nitroglycerin a person can take before u have to call 911?

A

3 tablets, each= 5 min apart, if that doesn’t work u can’t take another and u should call 911!

85
Q

ppl with CHF cannot have what meds?

A

NSAIDS- periph. vasoconstriction, inc. Na retention
Ca channel blockers- inc. risk of CV event
antiarrhythmics- will have proarrhythmic effects

86
Q

devices for CHF
