prinzmetal's angina
incorrect

triglycerides
incorrect
9.
cardiac index
incorrect
10.
pulse deficit
incorrect
11.
stable angina
incorrect
12.
calcium channel blockers
incorrect
13.
stroke volume
incorrect
14.
diastole
incorrect
15.
pleural effusion
incorrect
16.
Modifiable risk factors
incorrect
17.

AMI complications
incorrect
19.
contractility
incorrect
20.
cardiac output
A.
treatment for cardiac chest pain, M-morphine, O-oxygen, N-nitro, A-aspirin (not in that order)
B.
abnormal collection of fluid in the pleural cavity
C.
70%-90% chest pain, could be "silent MI" though, radiation pattern, constant, no relief, Hx unstable angina common, ECG changes, dyspnea, anxiety, nausea &/or vomiting, diaphoreis, cyanosis, palpitations, dysrhythmias
D.
cardiac med, -inotropic(force), -chronotropic(rate), decreases AV conduction, dilates coronary arteries & peripheral vascular resistance, inhibits vascular spasm, for angina, SVT, hypertension, peripheral vascular disease & vascular headaches(migraines)
E.
arrhythmias, sudden death, congestive heart failure, cardiogenic shock & rupture
F.
blood pumped in 1 stroke/contraction
G.
should be 200-300 mg/dl
H.
each relaxation period after contraction of the heart
I.
force @ which muscles shorten/contract
J.
nutrition, physical fitness, adequate sleep, modify risk factors, avoid substance abuse, anxiety, stress management & CISM
K.
lack of O2 to a tissue/organ, can be brought back with recirculation
L.
varient type, caused by spasms in coronary muscles by arteries, don't know why, happens @ rest in cycles
M.
pulse is @ different rate than the ventricle is contracting (poor peripheral perfusion)
N.
supplies SA node, posterior & inferior walls, anterior R ventricle wall
O.
often varies w/ inspiration & expiration, chest movement & cough
P.
blood pumped in 1 min, = stroke vol x heart rate
Q.
elevated blood lipids, obesity, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, diabetes mellitus, sypertension & elevated hormone levels(BC)
R.
starts with activity & goes away when @ rest, predictable, often relieved w/ O2, nitro & rest, acute coronary syndrome
S.
measure of cardiac output
T.
drugs used to dissolve blood clots, has to be done in under 6 hrs from onset of symptoms & under the age of 75
Type the Question that corresponds to the displayed Answer.
incorrect
21.
each contraction of the heart
incorrect
22.
cell work with no O2, uses sugars & other things available, not good
incorrect
23.
increased blood to the heart leads to increased cardiac contrility because the centricles stretch
incorrect
24.
passive stretching force exerted on the ventricular mesucle @ end of diastole
incorrect
25.
insert catheter, pump up balloon, put in stent (mesh tube)
incorrect
26.
effort of vessels around affected area to try to take over & oxygenate, only lasts short time
incorrect
27.
cardiac med, used for centuries, derived from foxglove plant, +inotropic(force), -chronotropic(rate), -dromotropic(speed), increased cardiac output, CHF, tachyarrhythmias
incorrect
28.
pain lasts 3-5 mins, chest pressure, squeezing or heaviness, radiation patterns, anxiety, dyspnea, nausea &/or vomiting, diaphoresis
incorrect
29.
cardiac meds, vasodilator(arteries & veins), decreases preload & myocardial oxygen demand, oral, sublingual & transdermal
incorrect
30.
"hardening of the arteries", forming of plaque buildup, any artery
