Special Pops Exam 3 Flashcards
(36 cards)
Miocardial Infarction Pathophysiology
- Endothelial dysfunction
- Inflammation (C reactive protein CRP)
Miocardial Infarction Signs and Symptoms
- Chest px/pressure
- sweating nausea vomiting
- INC cardiac enzymes; creatine kinase, troponin
- means cells died/exploded into blood stream
- EKG changes
Exercise Stress Test Goals Cardiac
- reproduce angina
- EKG changes
Angina pathophysiology
- Ischemia/hypoxia
- obstruction
- heavy constriction behind sternum
- radiating px
- short of breath, nausea
- 2-10 min
Angina Silent, unstable, triggers, treatment
Silent -asymptomatic/ diabetes Triggers -rest/nitroglicerine Unstable -less predictable/at rest -INC severity, freq, duration, threshold -precurser to MI (anticoagulants/ angioplasty)
Cardiac Interventions
REVASCULARIZATION -CABG -PTCA IMPLANTABLE DEVICES -pacemaker/defibrilator VALVE REPLACEMENT TRANSPLANT LIFESTYLE -exercise/diet/stop smoking MEDICATION SURGERY
Goal of Cardiac interventions
- increased heart function
- angiogenesis
- fibrolysis
- vagal tone
Exercise Testing Cardiac
- inc pt confidence
- evaluate
- HR capacity/recovery
- aerobic and myocardial capacity
- symptoms
- EKG changes
- NO graded Ex test (use pharmacological)
- get to ischemic threshold
Cardiac EX RX
RESISTANCE progress slowly F-2-3 d/wk I-RPE 11-13 T-12-15 reps CV F-4-7 d/wk I-RPE 11-16, below ischemic/shock threshold T-Long warmup/cooldown progress to 20-60 min T- varied aerobic
Special Cardiac Considerations
- sternotomy
- ECG monitoring
- transplants
- Return to work (specificity)
Cardiac Rehab
Phases 1 inpatient 2 12 weeks, egg monitored/discharged 3 intermittent/no ecg/ supervision 4 no ecg, supervision
COPD causes
narrowing of airways limiting airflow
- most common (80 smokers)
- small airway inflammation
- dificulty breathing out
- athsma
- cystic fibrosis
Restrictive PD
restrict lung expansion
- neuromuscular/neurological
- trouble breathing IN
COPD Signs and symptoms
-dyspnea
neuro input form chemo and mechano receptors
-wheezing
-chronic cough
COPD consequences
- ventilatory impairments (resistance/recoil)
- abnormal gas exchange (inc hemoglobin)
- CV impairments
- muscle impairments
- breathlessness
- psychological
COPD EX benefits
- CV músculo, reconditioning
- DEC
- ventalitory req at given workload, hyperinflation
- INC
- vent efficiency
- desensitization to dyspnea
EX testing COPD
- causes of imitations
- coexisting conditions
- Cycle ergometer ( ramp protocol/ measure gas ex/ blood sampling)
- TM or 6 min walk (inc conf in ex)
EX RX COPD
CV focus -RPE 11-13 -60% of limiting symptoms workload -monitor dyspnea -3-5 d/wk, 30 min intermittent initially -progress duration Breathing/Flex/Balance -tai chi, yoga -arm ROM -Progress to RT
pulmonary rehab
- ex
- breathing tech
- meds
- psych
- nutrition
- energy conservation
- smoking cessation
- patient education
Asthma
-intermittent exacerbations and remissions influence ability to ex
Ex testing Asthma
- normal testing and Rx in controlled indiv
- 75% HR max
- Min 8 min
- measured air flow obstruction 6-8 min post
asthma considerations
- running asthmogenic; lifting objects can increase dyspnea
- longer WU/CD
- borg CR 10 dyspnea scale
HAART pros/cons
PROS -extend life expect by 15 yrs -inc immune system stat, dec muscle wasting CONS -lipodystrophy -dysliidemia -CVD,HTN,myopathies -diabetes -osteopenia -GI issues -fatigue, anemia
AIDS EX testing
- monitor BP and EKG
- universal precautions
- avoid w/acute infections
- low intensities, submax testing
