Cardiac System Flashcards
(29 cards)
What is coronary artery disease?
plaque (Cholesterol deposits) narrow the coronary arteries causing decreased blood flow to the heart causing MI
What is the symptoms of coronary artery disease?
H: heart attack
A: angina
S: SOB
What is the treatment of coronary artery disease?
life style changes, aspirin, medication, CCB, ace inhibitors, nitro
What is the diagnosis of coronary artery disease?
ECG, stress test, angiogram, cardiac catherization
What is stable angina?
insufficient oxygen to the heart muscle caused by CAD. these symptoms get better with nitro spray
What is the symptoms of stable angina?
H: head spinning
A: are tired
D: diaphoretic
P: pain in chest
A: associated pain in neck/jaw/shoulder/back
I: is SOB
N: nauseated
What is the treatment of stable angina?
lifestyle choices, aspirin, cholesterol lowering meds, Niro
What is the diagnosis of stable angina?
ECG, stress test, angiogram, cardiac catherization
What is unstable angina?
occlusion of coronary artery causes lack of oxygen to the heart muscle resulting in physical symptoms and severe cardiac compromise
What is the symptoms of unstable angina?
H: head spinning
A: are tired
D: diaphoretic
P: pain in chest
A: associated pain in neck/jaw/shoulder/back
I: is SOB
N: nauseated
What is the treatment of unstable angina?
thrombolytic agents, aspirin, cholesterol lowing meds, nitro
OMAN- oxygen, morphine, aspirin, nitro
What is the diagnosis of unstable angina?
blood test(troponin), ECG, Chest X-ray
What is the immediate interventions of unstable angina?
OMAN- oxygen, morphine, aspirin, nitro
What is congestive heart failure?
inadequate tissue perfusion
What is the treatment of congestive heart failure?
medications (ace inhibitors, arbs, dioxin, diuretics), daily weights, monitor oxygen and labs,
What is the diagnosis of congestive heart failure?
physical assessment, chest x-ray, echocardiogram, B-natriuretic peptide:positive
What is the symptoms of LS congestive heart failure?
LUNGS
crackles, coughing, orthopnea, tiredness, blood tinged sputum, hypoxia, confused, cyanosis
What is the symptoms of RS congestive heart failure?
REST BODY
dependent edema, enlarged spleen/liver, ascites, tired,
What is pulmonary edema?
result of left sided heart failure. heart unable to move fluid forward and it back flows into the lungs causing pulmonary distress
What is the symptoms of pulmonary edema?
S: SOB
H: hypoxia
O: onset sudden
R: restless
T: tinged sputum (pink)
What is the diagnosis of pulmonary edema?
physical assessment, chest x-ray, ABG, ECH, echocardiogram
What is the treatment for pulmonary edema?
sit upright, O2, diuretics, morphine, nitro, possible mechanical ventilation
What is cardiac tamponade?
buildup of fluid within the pericardium puts pressure on the heart
What is the symptoms of cardiac tamponade?
dyspnea, distended jugular veins, decreases CO, decreased BP, distant heart sounds
