shock test!!! Flashcards
(253 cards)
the 3 other types of shock
cardiogenic shock
hypovolemic Shock
metabolism shock
in the simplified view of the cardiovascular system.. the heart
serves as the pump
function of the heart
pushes blood with a lot of force
what does the right side of the heart do
pushes blood to the lungs to acquire oxygen
what does the left side of the heart do
pushes blood through the aorta, then to all body tissues
cardiogenic shock
body tissues don’t receive blood because of a faukty heart
what is usually the culrint of cardiogenic shock
the left side of the heart
coronary arteries
blood vessels that deliver blood to cardiac muscle and help them generate energy
what does a blockage of the coronary artery do»_space;»>
failure of heart muscle (heart attack)
what does a heart attack lead to
to a failure of blood flow to other tissues, leading to shock
the five coronary arteries (rdlcl)
right coronary artery
distal right coronary artery
left main coronary artery
circumflex coronary artery
left anterior descending
coronary artery
what are the two types of heart attacks
ischemia, infarction
ischemia of heart muscle
partial blockage leads to a limited blood supply to the heart
in most cases of ischemia to the heart///////
the heart is still strong enough to keep a person alive and breathing
in ischemia the heart cannot work hard enough….
to beat fast when a person exercises
what happens when the heart exerts itself too hard
chest pain
chest pain
angina pectoris
infarction of heart muscle
comes for complete blockage and leads to a failure of heart muscle
infarction to the heart usually comes from
a blood clot that suddenly embeds itself in a coronary artery
because of their sudden nature, heart attack are termed
acute myocardial infarctions (AMIs)
AMIs will lead to…..
health problems and likely necrosis of heart muscle
what is the most important coronary artery
left anterior descending artery
what is the most important chamber of the heart
left ventricle»> pushes blood through aortic valve and into the rest of the body
widow maker
first 1-2 cm of the left anterior descending artery after it branches off the left main coronary artery
