cardiovascular 3; heart failure Flashcards
(47 cards)
aortic aneurysm dissection
acute rupture, abrupt pain from tearing of vessel
if aorta tears, dead in secs
meaning blockage
occlusion
raynaud’s disease
vasospasm of arteries in fingers and toes
feels like burning sensation
more common in women
claudication
pain in lower legs from hardened vessels while walking; elderly
pain in lower legs from hardened vessels while walking; elderly
claudication
local abnormal dilation of vessel
aneurysm
peripheral arterial vascular disease
narrowing of the peripheral vessels
rheymatic heart disease
heart inflammation from hemolytic stretococcus in chilldren
acute rupture, abrupt pain from tearing of vessel
aortic aneurysm dissection
affects lower extremities;
intermittent claudication
atherosclertic occlusive disease
thromboangitis obliterans =
buerger’s
heart failure on left
systolic failure
buerger’s =
thromboangitis obliterans
vasospasm of arteries in fingers and toes
feels like burning sensation
more common in women
raynaud’s disease
altered delivery of o2
peripheral cyanosis
arteries with plaques of fat on inner walls that calcifies
atherosclerosis
deo2 arterial blood
central cyanosis
cyanosis
desaturated hemoglobin
cachexia
weight loss through muscle wasting
progressive ventricular thinning; hypertrophy in both ventricles
dilated cardiomypathies
inflammation and thrombosis in small blood vessels overlife (like radial or brachial)
chronic if smoking
thromboangitis obliterans
atherosclerotic occlusive disease
affects lower extremities
intermittent claudication
scavenger cells help
try to destroy atherosclerosis through oxidation and cause inflammation (fibrous plaque)
genetic
hypertension
valvular disease
transplant needed
hypertropic cardiomyopathies
