VENTRICLES CAN'T CONTRACT WELL BECAUSE THEY ARE HAVING TO PUSH OUT AGAINST SO MUCH PRESSURE TO PUSH THE BLOOD OUT
48
WHAT DOES THE ELECTRICLE CURRENT OF THE HEART ON THE EKG LINE CORRELATE TO
THE MUSCULAR CONTRACTION. THE ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY OF THE HEART GUIDES THE MUSCULAR FUNCTION OF THE HEART
48
ELEVATED DIASTOLIC PRESSURE INDICATES?
VENTRICLES AREN'T FULLY RELAXING SO THEY AREN'T ADEQUATELY FILLING WITH BLOOD
48
HOW DO WE VIEW AND MONITOR THE EKG ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS
VIA TELEMETRY OR A HARDWIRED CARDIAC MONITOR
49

PASSES THROUGH THE AORTIC VALVE OUT TO THE AORTA
66
WHERE DOES BLOOD GO WHEN LEAVING THE AORTA
IT BRANCHES OFF INTO THE REST OF THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM TO PERFUSE ALL TISSUES AND ORGANS OF THE BODY
67
WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT THE HEART IS SELF SUFFUSING
IT ALSO HAS TO SUPPLY ITSELF WITH BLOOD
68
HOW DOES OUR CORONARY CIRCULATION WORK
DEOXYGENATED BLOOD FROM THE HEART COLLECTS W/IN THE CORONARY SINUS AND IS DUMPED INTO OUR SVC TO FOLLOW THE NORMAL PATHWAY
69
WHERE IS THE CORONARY SINUS LOCATED
THE POSTERIOR SIDE OF THE HEART
70
WHERE DO THE CORONARY ARTERIES BRANCH
OFF THE AORTA
71

122
ATHEROSCLEROSIS AND BLOOD FLOW
IT IS HARDENING OF THE ARTERIES SO MORE PRESSURE AND RESISTANCE RESULTING IN LOW BLOOD FLOW
123
ATHEROSCLEROTIC PLAGUES AND BLOOD FLOW
IS A BUILDUP OF FATTY PLAQUES WITHIN THE BLOOD VESSEL (OR COULD EVEN HAVE VASOCONSTRICTION) CAUSING VESSEL SHRINKING AND LESS FLOW
124
VELOCITY OF BLOOD FLOW
DEPENDS ON HR AND FORCES THAT ARE ACTING ON THE VESSEL. LOW VELOCITY = LOW FLOW
125
LAMINAR FLOW
NORMAL FLOW: THIN LAYER OF PLASMA ADHERES TO VESSEL WALL AND LAYERS OF BLOOD CELLS AND PLATELETS SHEAR AGAINST IT. EACH LAYER TOWARDS THE MIDDLE MOVES FASTER THAN PREVIOUS LAYER.
IF WE DON'T HAVE BLOOD FLOWING IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION, IT DECREASES SPEED AND FLOW

222
3 lesions of atherosclerosis
fatty streaks
fibrous plaques
complicated lesions
223
fatty streak Atherosclerosis
Fatty streaks appear when the presence of foam cells at the site of plaque formation expands. At this stage, a lipid core has been formed that will progress into a mature atherosclerotic plaque following additional influx of different inflammatory cell types and extracellular lipids.
224
complicated lesions of Atherosclerosis
complex plaque referred to as complicated fibroatheromatous plaques or complex lesions. Characterized by possible surface defect, hemorrhage with or without bleeding, and visible lipid and collagen deposits plus thrombotic materials.
225
fibrous plaque atherosclerosis
Atherosclerotic plaque begins as fibrous plaque. This consists of an amorphous central lipid core of cellular debris, cholesterol, cholesterol esters, and foam cells. A fibrous cap surrounds the fibrous plaque, consisting mainly of smooth-muscle cells in a matrix of collagen and proteoglycans.

* Most common cause of CAD is atherosclerosis.
308
coronary artery disease
| complications
myocardial ischemia, angina, MI, arrhythmias, heart failure, sudden death
309
What normally happens in a blood vessel when oxygen demand exceeds supply
A mismatch between myocardial oxygen supply and demand can result in myocardial ischemia or infarct. Unfortunately, infarct results in irreversible damage to the myocardium
310
What normally happens in a blood vessel when oxygen supply cant meet demand
If your blood has low levels of oxygen, it can't deliver enough oxygen to your organs and tissues that need it to keep working (hypoxia). This can damage your heart or brain if it persists over time
311
* Chronic ischemic heart disease
| cad
arrowing of artery --> atherosclerosis or vasospasm -->Recurrent, transient
312
* Acute coronary syndrome
| CAD
Disruption of atherosclerotic plaque --> unstable angina, MI

– Unstable – obstructs flow, risk for rupture, seen in ACS
314
* Thrombosis, vessel occlusion
| CAD
Platelet aggregation, thrombus formation
315
Atherosclerotic Plaque – Stable,
Stable atherosclerotic plaque builds up over time and causes arteries to become hardened. It can lead to narrowing of the arteries over time, so much so that eventually blood flow to the heart and other organs is restricted. This obstructive stable plaque can be detected and treated.
316
Atherosclerotic Plaque – unstable
Instability of coronary atherosclerotic plaque culminates in abrupt vascular thrombus formation that impedes blood flow and leads to critical myocardial ischemia. Clinically, this often manifests as life-threatening Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS)

372
Abnormal turbulent blood flow through a diseased valve produces what clinical manifestation?
heart murmur
373
What happens to blood flow in diastole in mitral valve stenosis
in mitral valve stenosis, the valve opening narrows. The heart now must work harder to force blood through the smaller valve opening. Blood flow between the upper left and lower left heart chambers may decrease.
374
What happens to the left ventricle in aortic valve stenosis?
Over time, aortic valve stenosis causes your heart's left ventricle to pump harder to push blood through the narrowed aortic valve. The extra effort may cause the left ventricle to thicken, enlarge and weaken. If not addressed, this form of heart valve disease may lead to heart failure
375
Does mitral valve regurgitation result in a decreased stroke volume?
The physiologic consequences of mitral regurgitation include reduced forward stroke volume
376
What valvular problem does the nurse anticipate if the chordae tendinae rupture as a complication of MI?
CTR is characterised by sudden onset, rapid progression of pulmonary edema, hypotension, and left-sided heart failure which may finally lead to severe cardiac shock or pulmonary hypertension and acute right-sided heart failure

worsening hf
388
frank starling mechanism
the heart's physiological ability to change its contraction force, and therefore stroke volume, in response to changes in venous return
389
myocardial hypertrophy and remodeling mechanism
Cardiac hypertrophy is a common type of cardiac remodeling that occurs when the heart experiences elevated workload. The heart and individual myocytes enlarge as a means of reducing ventricular wall and septal stress when faced with increased workload or injury.
390
sympathetic reflexes mechanism
Sympathetic vasoconstrictor reflexes are essential for the maintenance of arterial blood pressure in upright position. It has been generally believed that supraspinal sympathetic vasoconstrictor reflexes elicited by changes in baroreceptor activity play an important role.
391
renin angiotensin aldosterone mechanism
The RAAS is a complex multi-organ endocrine (hormone) system involved in the regulation of blood pressure by balancing fluid and electrolyte levels, as well as regulating vascular resistance & tone. RAAS regulates sodium and water absorption in the kidney thus directly having an impact on systemic blood pressure.
392
cardiac remodeling post MI
After myocardial infarction (MI), the heart undergoes extensive myocardial remodeling through the accumulation of fibrous tissue in both the infarcted and noninfarcted myocardium, which distorts tissue structure, increases tissue stiffness, and accounts for ventricular dysfunction.
