nsg mgmt for grafts | VS, INR want to b 2-3.5, if >4 not give. This is above norm of 2-3 x normal of 1 |
Mechanical Valve replacements are going to need what med 4ever? | coumadin cause mechanical not as smooth. Also BP will change with new valve, so educate on new meds |
cardiomyopathies(heart muscle prob) | dilated: enlarged vent area, less muslce to pump: HF hypertrophic: overgrowth in septum, vent can't fill, decr CO, avoide dehydration restrictive: rigid vent walls, stiff muscles |
Med mgmt for dilated cardiomyopathy? hypertrophic? | dil: dig, vasodilators, diuretic, decr Na diet, sit up/legs dangle hyper: beta blockers(to maintain CO), rest, CCB(relax so can squeeze more) |

Cardiac Tamponade | s/s: decr BP cause heart can't pump, PP narrows, distant heart sounds, rising venous pressure, pulsus paradoxus(weak pulse on insp/strong-exp), friction rub(rest til gone) |
preload | amt of blood presented to vent b4 systole determined by venous return to heart |
what lowers preload | hypertrophic cardiomyopathy of vent, stiff fibrotic tiss after MI All these incr press and load on heart so lead to HF |
afterload | amt of resistance to ejection of blood from vent overcoming resistance. Incr will decr SV cause vent work harder |
What affects afterload | diameter/stretch of vessels and open/competence of lunar valves incr after: HTN, vasoconstriciton, stenosis..incr work of heart |
contractility | force of contraction from condition of myocardium. Sympathetic stimulation incr and MI with damaged cells lower contractility. Lower afterload to lower contractility |
Assess rt vent preload? L vent afterload? | R vent pre: measure jugular venous distention(JVD) L vent after: MAP |
CHF-congested Heart Failure? | fluid overload/not tissue perfusion so not enuf CO for body's needs, progressive |
Two types: systolic heart failure? diastolic HF? | sys: squeeze failure, weak heart muscle, EF reduced diast: weak fill, stiff/ noncompliant heart muscle, EF normal Assess ejection fraction to determine which one it is |
Understanding fluid vol overload in HF | decr EF from vent, SNS stim vasoconstiction, kidney perfusion decr due to low CO so renin tells angio I to make II to incr bp and afterload. II gets aldosterone released to save Na/H2O and ADH holds H2O so fluid overload |
How overload stresses heart and cause diastolic HF | fluid overload incr afterload/preload so BNP/ANP released from overdistended chambers and promote vasodilation/diuresis. Contractility decr, incr vent filling and size, so thickens walls |
Causes of HF | Cornoary art dis, cardiomyopathy, HTN, valvular disorders, renal disorders, |
S/s L heart failure? R heart failure? | L: pulmonary congestion bc L atrium press incr, incr pulmonary press making pulmonary edema and impaired gas exchange s/s: dyspnea, cough, crackles, low O2, S3(lg vol of fluid enter vent beg of diast) |
more s/s of L sided heart failure | PND: paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea- fluid gathers at night so sit up. Pink frothy sputnum(pul edema), oligura(kidney reduce output cause low blood flow), |
R sided heart failure s/s | dependent edema, hepatomegaly, ascites, wt gain |

Pharm therapy for HF: Ace inhibitors? | ACE: for systolic HF, "prils", promote vasodilation/diuresis by decr after/preload, block angio I to II |
how do ACE help with diuresis | decr secretion of aldosterone and stim kidney to release Na/h2o while retaining K. SE: cough, hyperkalemia |
Affects of ARBs | "sartans", block affect of angio II at receptor, decr bp, incr CO, if ACE give cough, give ARB |
