Term
What is Pericarditis?
Definition
Inflamation of the Pericardidum
Term
What is a pericardial Effusion?
Definition
Build up of fluid in the pericardial sac
Term
Pericardial effusion makes it so the heart can't expand how does this effect the left and right side of your heart?
Definition

§  LEFT SIDE- left vent can’t except enough blood

·         Decreased cardiac output

·         Decreased blood pressure and shock

§  RIGHT SIDE- right vent can’t except enough blood

·         Increased venous pressure, jugular vein extention

·         Tamponade- Hrt can’t move at all.

Term
What is constrictive pericarditis?
Definition

Fibrous scar tissue making pericardium stick to the heart

Term
What are S/s of Pericarditis?
Definition

·         Pain d/t restriction of Heart

·         Friction rub d/t HR rubs on pericardium

·         ECG changes

Term
What is a Cardiac temparde?
Definition
Pericardial sac fills with fluid, this causes a lack of space and eventually heart can't move
Term
How would you treat a cardiac tempaarde?
Definition

·         TX with pericardial Synthesis

·         Poke hole and suck all the fluid out to decrease sac

Term
What kind of ciculation problem happens when you have a cardiac tamporade?
Definition

·         Problem with Tamponade not only can heart not move but because of this it causes MI d/t can’t perfuse. Now not only can’t heart not move it also can’t perfuse.

Term
What is coronary heart disease?
Definition

Term
What is stable angina?
Definition

§  Pain when hearts 02 demand increases… if this person stops activity pain will be relieved

Term
What is variant angina?
Definition

§  Pain when corary arteries spasm- not associated with activity level

Term
What is Unstable angina?
Definition

§  Pain at rest, or increase or change in stable angina, pain does not stop when activity stops.

Term
if you have unstable angina you could then in turn have this conditoin?
Definition
Acute coronary syndrom
Term
When you have ACS their is a problem with these two things
Definition

Demand > Supply= Angina

 You need to increae supply- 02

& decrease the demand- BP

Term
What is Acute Coronary syndrom?
Definition

§  Chest pain d/t blockage, we increased or demand but we can’t increase our supply.

Term
What are s/s in a patient who has ACS
Definition

·         Chest pain-

·         SOB- d/t blood settles in Lungs not 02 problem is a blood problem

·         Diaphoreses- d/t sympathetic ns release EPi & Norepi

·         N/v- women has more GI symptoms d/t SNS EPI&Norepi cause vasoconstriction.. decrease b/f to gut and kidney

Term
What is a Transmural MI?
Definition

·         ST elevation

·         Complete occlution or arterie

·         Translunion Problem the ischemia and nercrotic event go though entire thickness of muscle

·         Better chance or recovery only ½ wall damage

Term
What is a Acute Mycardial Infraction
Definition

·         Acute Coronary Syndrome becomes Acute Myocardial infarction when necrosis occurs

Term
What is the problem with necrosis why is it soo bad?
Definition

o   Whatever is necrotic we are never getting back

If injured of ishemic we can get this back

Term

Definition

·         Cells rupture when necrotic

Term

Serum Markers of Acute Myocardial Infarction

 

Total CK

CK-MB

TRoponin 1

Thromoblysis

PCI

PTCA

PTCA/stent

Definition

·         Thrombolysis

o   Best- break down clot if you got to this patient with in 2-3hrs

·         PCI- Cath femoral artery, run it in to coronary artery

o   PTCA-Heart cath balloon open up

o   PTCA with stent- use angioplasty to open up with a stent and push plaque up in walls

§  EPI released constantly

§  Give beta blockers to these people

Term
Explain electrical circulation of the hrt?
Definition

  • ·         Sa node- natural pace maker of hrt

 

  • ·         Enters both atria causes them to contract to push blood to ventricals

 

  • ·         Elecrical single reaches AV node n pauses giving ventricals time to fill

 

  • ·         Electrical single spreads through HIS-purkinje system causes ventrical to contract and push blood in lungs

 

Term
what happens during the refract period
Definition

·         control electrical single of hrt build in AP of each cardiac cell

Term
Explain what happens during the 3 phases of refract period
Definition

o   ARP- no matter what stimulation no ap can accure- toilet no matter how many time you try wont flush

o   RRP- really strong stimulation to evolc action potential-toilet will kinda flush but not great

o   SN-Strong response- now my toilet flushes

Term
When looking at the electrical flow of the hrt what is the 2 most import things we need to know
Definition

·         Speed of electricity thru heart & what direction is it going

Term
What are the two causes of dysrthmia in the HRT?
Definition

 

 

·         Blocked inpulses

o   Stops impulse all together

o   Sends impulse to wrong/ineffective pathway= wrong direction

·         Aberrant

o   Arising from non-pacemmaker cell in Atrial or ventricaluar- start in wrong place

Term

What are the problems with a blocked impulse

Definition

·         Can’t meet its self keeps going electrical patterns look circular=reenternce activation

Term
What is cardiogenic shock?
Definition

·         Shock caused by hrt failure or degenerative shock- Heart fails to pump blood adueqTLY

Term
What happens during cardiogenic shock to the hrt?
Definition

o   Decreased c/o lower BP

o   Sympathetic system responds to increase HR

o   Vaso con increases resitance to blood flow

o   Increased workload on hrt worsesns hrt=failure

As this continues to worsen we end up with tissue ischemia

Term
Cardiogenic shock causes this process to start
Definition

·         Decreased C/0= decreased perfusion

·         Tissue hypoxia=anaerobic metabolism little energy

·         Lactice acid= tissue damage

·         Inflammatory Process=mediators released increased cap permability

·         Decrease circ volume= decrease cardiac output

Term

What is difference b/t cardiac shock and distribuative shock?

Definition

·         Where it starts cardiac starts @ heart, Distribuative start when I have bad perfusion at tissue level

Term

Type of shock- depends on cause of shock

  1. Cardiogenic
  2. hypovolemic
  3. distribuative- septic/anaphlactic

 

Definition

·         Carodigenic shock- caused by decrease cardiac output

·         Hypovolemic shock- caused by blood lose

·         Distribuative- start at bad perfusion at tissue level

o   Septic/anapaplatic – pipes increase= lose of fluid into vascular space

Term
Treatment of Car shock
Definition

·         Positive inotrop- increase cardiac output it increases force of contraction

o   Dobutamin-drug thatincreaes force of contraction

o   Becareful- Have to be able to balance out ability of the heart

·         Fluid restriction

o   Diuretic- decrease fluid decreases the preload which decreases force of contraction

·         Rest- NO ROM

·         Intra- aortic balloon pump

o   Support hrt and take over some wrk of hrt letting hrt rest

o   During Systol- balloon collapses- creats a vacume pulls blood out of hrt

o   During Dystol- Balloon blows up- blood left fill be forced back up- perfuse coronary arteries

Term

  1. ARDS
  2. ARF
  3. DIC
