Q

List the determinants of myocardial blood flow

A
  • DBP (driving force of blood to the heart, too high = limits BF)
  • Resistance (too high = impairs BF, no signaling to release NO)
  • Vasomotor tone (flexibility, shear releases NO, plaques block signal)
  • LV end diastolic pressure (less pressure = less available for coronary circulation)

8
Q

Describe the progression of atherosclerosis

A
  1. Fatty streaks develop due to the deposition of lipids
  2. Fibrous plaque forms due to increased collagen levels, destruction of elastin, and change in fibrous protein composition [can be stable or unstable]

Q

Describe the atherogenesis chain of effect

A
  1. endothelais injury leads to increased infiltration of LDL
  2. sub endothelial retention and modification of LDL leads entry of monocytes
  3. monocytes > macrophages which internalize LDL creating foam cells
  4. the hemodynamic stress activates an inflammatory response activating PDGF
  5. foam cells die > necrotic core
  6. Rupture of fibrous cap can lead to arterial thrombosis

Q

Describe the effect of exercise on atherosclerosis

A

Exercise promotes HDL

HDL removes LDL from being in vessel/prevents deposit

Q

Describe cut offs for montioring BP during exercise

A

Need medical clearnace: SBP > 200; DBP > 105

Terminate exercise: SBP > 250; DBP > 115

SE from BP required termination of exercise: SBP drops 20 OR SBP and DBP both drop 10

Q

List the signs and symptoms of ischemic heart disease for men

Study These Flashcards
A
  • radiating pain (jaw, L side)
  • crushing pain (elephant sitting on my chest)
  • sweating
  • skin color (pale, cyanosis)
18
Q

List the signs and symptoms of ischemic heart disease in women

Study These Flashcards
A
  • more flu like sx
  • heart burn
  • feel off
  • fatigued
19
Q

List the atypical signs and symptoms of ischemic heart disease

Study These Flashcards
A
  • indigestion
  • LV dysfunction
  • Arrhythmia
  • Syncope
  • Silent
20
Q

Condition: ST segment depression

21
Q

List the key features of stable angina

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Well established onset (myocardial O2 demand, rate pressure product)
  • Stable characteristics remain unchanged for 60 days
  • Characterized by chest pain (transient hypoxia)
  • Relieved with change in activity or sublingual nitroglycerin
22
Q

List the key features of unstable angina

Study These Flashcards
A
  • presence of signs/sx of inadequate blood supply to myocardium in the absence of demand
  • due to altered catecholamine levels, increased platelet activation
23
Q

List the clinical clues of unstable angina

Study These Flashcards
A
  • angina at rest
  • typical angina occurs at lower exertion
  • deterioration of previously stable pattern
  • physiological changes (drop in HR or BP w/exercise)
24
Q

List the key features of prinzmetal angina

Study These Flashcards
A
  • unusual syndrome of cardiac pain secondary to myocardial ischemia
  • cardiac pain exclusively at rest (sx NOT brought on by exercise)
  • ST segment elevation
  • secondary to increased coronary vasomotor tone/vasospasm

[tx w/nitrates and Ca blockers – beta blockers avoided]

25
List the types of acute MI
1. Transmural 2. Non-transmural (endocardium to myocardium)
26
EKG abnormality: cardiac cell death
ST segment elevation
27
Define ST elevation MI (STEMI)
- ST elevation in: 2 continuous leads, \> 2 mm in V1, V2, V3, \> 1 mm in other leads - indicates occlusion in a large vessel (large area at risk) - cardiac emergency
28
Define NSTEMI
- Findings of MI w/o ST elevation on EKG - not always, but may represent smaller area or high grade lesion w/o total occlusion
29
Localization of Infraction: Inferior 1. EKG 2. Artery
1. II, III, aVF 2. R Coronary
30
Localization of Infraction: Anteroseptal 1. EKG 2. Artery
1. V1-V3 2. LAD
31
Localization of Infraction: Anterior 1. EKG 2. Artery
1. V2-V4 2. LAD
32
Localization of Infraction: Lateral 1. EKG 2. Artery
1. I, aVL, V5, V6 2. LAD or circumflex
33
Localization of Infraction: Posterior 1. EKG 2. Artery
1. V1-V2, tall broad initial R wave, ST depression, tall upright T wave 2. Posterior descending
34
Describe the Tx of Acute MI
MONA - Morphine (pain, calming) - Oxygen - Nitrates (or beta blockers - vasodilate) - Aspirin (so they don't throw a clot) {draw blood for cardiac markers]
35
List the Risk Factors for Ischemia Heart Disease
1. Fam Hx 2. Age 3. Diabetes 4. Hypercholesterolemia 5. HTN 6. Smoking 7. Obesity 8. Inactivity/Sedentary Lifestyle
36
Define the Fick Equation
VO2 = [SV x HR] x A-VO2
37
Describe the application of the Fick equation in those with compromised cardiac function
In those with compromise, A-VO2 allows for resting VO2 to be maintained If Q can't increase, O2 extraction can achieve a small increase in Vo2, but not enough to sustain exercise for an increased duration \*\*The heart is the limiting factor to exercise; but A-VO2 can improve with training
38
Describe the disease specific effects of ischemic heart disease on physiologic responses and fitness
- Decreased peak VO2 ( - reduced cardiac output - chronotropic incompetence (HR/BP doesn't met demand) - abnormal HR recovery - failure of SBP to rise in proportion to exercise intensity
39
Define chronotropic incompetence
- Failure to reach 85% of APMHR in the absence of beta blockers - Abnormal HR recovery [dec in HR
40
List the surgical and pharmacological tx for ischemic heart disease
- oxygen - nitroglycerin - aspirin (anti-platelet) - heparin (anti-coagulant) - pain relief - revascularization (catheterization) - stent - pharm: beta blockers, ca blocker, ACE inhibitors, statins
41
Describe the phases of cardiac rehab very briefly
phase 1 = inpatient rehab phase 2 = outpatient, 12 wk phase 3 = transition to community
