A

HCM, Anomalous CA, and Myocarditis

57
Q

How long can T Cells and B Cells live for?

A

Years

58
Q

Why is blood doping bad?

A

Coagulates blood causing clotting

59
Q

Pathogenesis of Sickle Cell

A

Presence of Sickle cell leads to low o2 tension distorting the shape of a RBC. Since this cell cannot carry as much O2, it stiffens causing hemolysis. This leads to cramping sensations, logjammed blood vessels, and explosive rhabdo. From this, people experience Acute Renal Failure (ARF) leading to more potassium (K+) in the blood stream causing an arrhythmia and eventually a heart attack.

60
Q

Hematocrit

A

The percentage by volume of red cells in your blood

61
Q

Condition marked by hypertrophy of the heart, increased cardiac output, and common in endurance athletes

A

Athletic Heart

62
Q

CAA High Risk Site

A

Where coronary artery makes an acute bend and runs between pulmonary artery and aorta

63
Q

CAA Most Common Site

A

Left coronary artery arising from right sinus of Valsalva

64
Q

CAA Right Side

A

Right coronary artery arising from left sinus of Valsalva

Found during delta wave of an EKG, curative with catheter ablation, recommended all athletes need cardiology eval/EP study and can return to all competitive sports after ablation

66
Q

Would you give someone with Von Willebrand Factor blood clot meds?

A

No

67
Q

Electrical Conduction of the heart

A

SA Node -> AV Node -> Bundle of His -> R and L bundle branches -> Purkinje fibers

68
Q

What substance does the liver produce in the Renin-Angiotensin-aldosterone system?

A

Angiotensinogen

69
Q

What does Angiotensinogen turn into and with help from what?

A

Angiotensin 1, Renin from the kidney

70
Q

What does angiotensin 1 turn into with help from what?

A

Angiotensin 2, ACE (Angiotensin Converter Enzyme) from the lungs

71
Q

What are 3 responses caused by Angiotensin 2

A

Increase in Sympathetic Activity

Arteriolar vasoconstriction leading to an increase in BP

Increase in Pituitary gland activity leading to ADH secretion, leading to H2O reabsorption

72
Q

If I take an Angiotensin 2 blocker (ARBY), what happens?

A

Sympathetic Activity decreases

No vasoconstriction

No water reabsorption

73
Q

If I take an ACE inhibitor, what happens?

A

Angiotensin 1 doesn’t turn into Angiotensin 2, leading to no downstream effects

74
Q

41% in males, 37% in females

A

Antiplatelet

76
Q

Medication that lowers cholesterol

A

Statins

77
Q

Medications that dilate your blood vessels

A

Nitrates

78

Can taking a statin increase the odds of a rhabdo event during general exercise?

A

Yes

79
Q

A

Arrhythmias

80
Q

Arterial blood

A

PCO2 - 40 mmHg
PO2 - 100 mmHg

81
Q

Venous blood

A

PCO2 - 46 mmHg
PO2 - 40 mmHg

82
Q

Ambient Air

A

PCO2 - 0.2 mmHg
PO2 - 160 mmHg

83
Q

What inflammatory mediators are involved with a cold

A

PGE, LTs, and kinins

84
Q

Explain the procedure of allergies on a cell level from Sensitization to clinical effects

A

Once we first experience an allergen, we make antibodies on our B-cells, we do not experience any major symptoms. From this we arm Mast cells with these receptors so next time when antigen is present, our body sounds the alarm to release mediators causing anaphylaxis, asthma, and hay fever.

85
Q

SABA and LABA

A

Short Acting Beta Agonist

Long Acting Beta Agonist

86
Q

Steps of Management for Asthma

A
  1. SABA prn
  2. Low-dose ICS
  3. Low-dose ICS + LABA or Med-dose ICS
  4. Med-dose ICS + LABA
  5. Hi-dose ICS + LABA (maybe allergy meds as well)
  6. Hi-dose ICS + LABA + Allergy meds
