Q

Stroke volume, cardiac output, ejection fraction

Q

CHF

A

Heart is failing to pump blood from veins to arteries

  • venous pressure too high
  • EF too low

Q

Chronic hypertension

A

Increased arterial pressure whuch leads to L ventricular HYPERTROPHY

  • leads to overstretched contractile fibers and less effective pump

Q

CAD effects

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Coordination issues
  • cardiac arrhythmias
23
Q

Dyskinesia vs Hypokinesia vs Akinesia

Study These Flashcards
A

Dyskinesia :Uncoordinated movement; common after MI
Hypokinesia: decreased mvmt
Akinesia: localized area of no mvmt

24
Q

Abnormal conduction

Study These Flashcards
A

Decreases coordination of contraction

25
Abnormal Automaticity
Pacemaker not regular (bradycardia or tachycardia)
26
What are two heart valve abnormalities??
Stenosis: blockage; doesn’t open properly Regurgitation: doesn’t close properly; incompensated
27
Cardiomyopathy
Contraction and relaxation of myocardial muscle fibers are impaired - heart muscle is stretched too thin (dialated cardiomyopathy) or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
28
Saddle Pulmonary Embolus
Large embolus that straddles L and R pulmonary arteries - total blockage of pulmonary blood to flow - no output of L ventricle RAPID DEATH
29
Hemopericardium
Unusual; pressure inside pericardium prevents filling of R ventricle —> decrease in pulmonary blood flow and L ventricle cant be filled
30
Classes of CHF
CLASS I : no limitation in any activity & no symptoms in ordinary activities CLASS II: mild limitation of activity; pt comfortable at rest/mild exertion CLASS III: marked limitation of any activity; pt ONLY comfortable at rest CLASS IV: PA causes discomfort & symptoms present AT REST
31
S & S of Heart Failure
- Jugular vein distension - hepatojugular reflux: 45 degree and press on liver - third heart sound S3 - weight gain - fatigue, dyspnea, - orthopnea - cyanosis
32
Different ways to classify heart failure
Chronic vs Acute R vs L Forward vs backward Systolic vs Diastolic High output vs low output Compensated vs uncompensated vs decompensated
33
Chronic VS Acute
Long term Acute: life threatening condition; cardiac shot needed - L side: rupture of aorta - R side: blockage of saddle embolus
34
R sided HF vs L sided HF
R: results of failing to empty vena cava (JVD, hepatomegally) L: failure of LV to empty pulmonary veins and fill systemic arteries; congestion of pulmonary veins and capillaries
35
Cycle of HF
Starts on L side —> low CO causes fluid retention in kidneys —> increases preload on R side —> congestion of pulmonary circulation increases after load on R ventricle
36
Forward vs Backward HF
Forward: due to low CO; ischemic injury to tissues, cool, cyanosis Backward: due to venous congestion; pulmonary edema(LHF) and peripheral edema (RHF)
37
Systolic vs diastolic HF
Systolic: insufficient myocardial muscle strength relative to conditions Diastolic: not enough blood filling ventricle
38
Medical MGMT of HF
Stabilize, dietary changes, weigh daily to monitor fluid (there’s rapid weight gain due to fluid retention)
39
Pharmalogical Tx & their function
ACE Inhibitors: cause vasodilation and fluid reduction Diuretics: reduced fluid in veins reduce load on heart Beta blockers: decrease cardiac work Pressures: decompensation for acute/ emergent situations
40
Who are ACE inhibitors for? -oprils
Those w/ systolic failure - decreases retention of water and vasoconstriction
41
Who are diuretics used to treat? -ide
Those with backward symptoms as maintenance or emergency - reduced fluid in veins
42
beta blockers used for
Centrally inhibit ANS; decrease hr and cardiac work
43
General recs from PT on physical activity
- educate on energy conservation - introduce rest periods during day - start ADLs in hospital, enter cardiac rehab ASAP
44
Dialysis and ultrafiltration
Removal of fluid from pleural and abdominal cavities
45
Assisted circulation
Intraaortic balloon counterpulsation using a pump (IABP) OR LVAD??
46
Ventricular assist deceive
Provides force to eject blood
47
Cardiomyoplasty
Surgical procedure where healthy muscle from somewhere else is wrapped around heart to provide support for failing muscle (like the lat)
48
L partial ventriculectomy
Reduces cardiac volume
49
BNP-B type Natuuretic Peptide
Secreted by ventricles in HF >300 mild hf > 600 mod hf >900 severe hf
50
Radiological findings in HF in Heart and Lungs
Heart - enlarged when CTR ratio >50% (cardiomegaly) Lungs: when L atrial pressure >20mmHg
51
Pressures >20 likely result in what
Pulmonary edema
52
What scale should we use with patients with HF instead of RPE?
Dyspnea scale bc its more specific to O2 delivery
53
Signs and Symptoms of decompensation
- cyanosis - dyspnea, SOB - gurgling sounds - pink, frothy sputum - sudden onset of fatigue - decreased HR or systolic BP
54
for NYHA Class II-III physical activity goal should be
Aerobic: 20-60 min at 50%-90% intensity at peak VO2 3-5x/wk for ~8 wks
