N370-03: Cardiac I

Disease/Patho pt. 1

TermDefinition
Endocarditis; IV drug use/dirty needles (tattoos, piercing, etc), infection from valve replacement surgery/surgery, dental visits/oral surgeries ______ is the inflammation/infection of the INSIDE of the heart; this can be caused by 3 things -> _______, ______, ______ (always give prophylaxis ABX prior to dental procedures)
Chordae tendineae; low-grade fever Endocarditis mainly affects the valves, walls, and ________; this differs from TB b/c we have ______ with TB and this is >102.
Pericarditis ______ is an acute inflammation of the pericardium; usually caused by trauma, infections, uremia, post-MI, fluid (EFFUSION) build up in pericardial sac -> could be r/t to effusion, cardiac tamponade, or Afib
Pericardial effusion (usually r/t pericarditis) ______ is the abnormal accumulation of fluid between pericardial linings -> could lead to pericardial tamponade.
Cardiac tamponade (usually r/t pericarditis) _______ is pressure on the heart that occurs when blood or fluid builds up in the space between the heart muscle and the outer covering sac of the heart.
Myocarditis; necrosis _______ is the infection/inflammation of the heart's MYOCARDIUM/muscles; usually leads to _____ (tissue death) and dec muscle function; may lead to HEART FAILURE; caused by bacteria/viruses, AUTO-IMMUNE or toxins
Cardiomyopathy; dilated (systolic/pumping dysf); hypertrophic (diastolic/filling dysf); restrictive (also diastolic dysf but rare) *can check photos* _______ is an abnormally enlarged/thickened/stiffened heart muscle; usually d/t HTN, post-MI, viral infection, DM, connective tissue disorder or can be idiopathic; it has 3 types = _____, _____, _____.
Tricuspid -> Pulmonary (both on the right) -> Mitral -> Aortic (both on the left) ("Toilet Paper My A**") What are the 4 heart valves? Put them in order. *Know where they are!*
Aortic - Pulmonic - Erb's point - Tricuspid -> Mitral ("APE To Man") What are the 5 areas for listening to the heart? Put them in order.
Cardiac valve _______ disorders affect the preload and afterload of the heart.
True T or F: Regurgitation occurs when the aortic valve doesn't close properly (mostly congestion). Stenosis is a narrowing of the valve that restricts blood flow (mostly hypertrophy to b/c heart is trying to compensate)
Mitral & Aortic STENOSIS; mitral; aortic ______ & _____ are the more serious kinds of cardiac valve disorders. _____ causes orthopnea, dyspnea, and PINK FROTHY SPUTUM while ______ causes SAD (syncope, angina, dyspnea)
Heart failure; left; right; high output or low output, forward or backward failure, systolic or diastolic problems _______ is an abnormal clinical syndrome that involved inadequate pumping/filling of the heart resulting in impaired C.O; usually _____ sided happens first and it progresses to ______ sided; there are several types of failures/etiologies (list em)
Chemoreceptos; baroreceptors ______ senses changes in O2 & CO2 in the blood which signals the brain to inc or dec HR and RR; while ______ senses pressure changes in the vessels and signals vasoconstriction or vasodilation
OK *Try to memorize cardiac values from Monique's SI notes*
HR, SV, preload, afterload, contractility What factors contribute to HF? (Think C.O. formula)
Systolic; pumping; <40% _______ HF is now referred to as HF with REDUCED ejection fraction when it CONTRACTS; it's a ______ problem often d/t MI or DILATED cardiomyopathy; EF is < __%
Diastolic; filling; >50% (normal) _______ HF is now referred to as HF with PRESERVED ejection fraction when it RELAXES; it's a ______ problem often d/t HYPERTROPHIC cardiomyopathy or hypertensive cardiomyopathy; EF is > __%
SURE *Know anatomy of the heart*
Preload; Afterload ______ is the amount of blood that fills the heart BEFORE ejection; while ______ is the RESISTANCE in the blood vessels that the heart pumps against (constricted BV = high AL; dilated BV = low AL)
RAAS; aldosterone; ADH B/c of the ______ system, angiotensin II causes SNS activity that releases catecholamines and _____ (reabsorbs Na & water follows) -> reabsorbs Na & water -> + release of ___ (affects water only)
RAAS *check table* Vasoconstriction, inc SNS activity -> inc aldosterone -> sodium (& fluid) retention, inc cellular growth are outcomes of _______.
Natriuretic Peptide System (NPS); BNP (should be <100) ______ helps lessen the heart's workload b/c it promotes EXCRETION of sodium (inhibits RAAS and aldosterone) -> water follows; ____ plays a role in compensating and tells us how stretched out the ventricles are (inc value = inc vent workload r/t HF)
Natriuretic Peptide System (NPS) *check table* Vasodilation, inhibition of RAAS -> inhibition of SNS -> dec aldosterone -> sodium excretion (& water follows), antiproliferation of smooth muscles and dec BNP are outcomes of ______.
IV How many functional classifications does HF have?
Fluid overload - wet profile (dec activity tolerance, S3/S4, dyspnea on exertion, nocturnal dyspnea, orthopnea, nocturia, edema/weight gain, cough worsens at night d/t orthopnea, N/V/A, RUQ pain d/t hepatomegaly); Low cardiac output - dry profile _______ is the most common cause of HF hospitalizations compared to ______.
Third spacing; RAAS; NPS (BNP* & ANP inc to excrete sodium & water follows) ________ = dec oncotic pressure within the intravascular space d/t lack of albumin from an enlarged liver caused by R HF, and hydrostatic pressure is inc. -> will cause _____ activation d/t low ECV to kidneys -> worsens HF -> _____ compensates
1+ (2mm), 2+ (4mm), 3+ (6mm), 4+ (8mm) Grading edema *multiply score by 2 for the mm measurement*
Pulmonary edema; PINK FROTHY SPUTUM _______ is caused by lack of forward flow so it backs up to the lungs d/t L HF -> causes _______!!!
Neprilysin ______ is an enzyme that contributes to the breakdown of BNP; we WANT BNP so we take Entresto to inhibit this enzyme for our HF and HTN pts.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
