| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| weakened spot of the artery wall that has stretched or burst filling the area with blood and causing damage. If in the brain, damage to nerves results. | Aneurysm |
| absence of oxygen supply to cells that results in cell damage or death. | Anoxia |
| drug that prolongs coagulation time and is used to prevent clot formation. | Anticoagulant |
| drug that prevents accumulation of platelets, thereby blocking an important step in the clot formation process. | Antiplatelet agent |
| drug that inhibits clot formation by reducing the coagulation action of the blood protein thrombin | Antithrombotic |
| formation of a blood clot in an artery | Atherothrombosis |
| natrually occurring, waxy substance produced by the liver and found in foods that maintains cell membranes and is needed for vitamin D production. Excess cholesterol can cause atherosclerosis. | Cholesterol |
| natrually occurring, waxy substance produced by the liver and found in foods that maintains cell membranes and is needed for vitamin D production. Excess cholesterol can cause atherosclerosis. | |
| stroke caused by an emboki obstructing the flow of blood through an artery | Embolic stroke |
| stroke caused by an emboli obstructing the flow of blood through an artery | Hemorrhagic stroke |
| process of stopping the flow of blood | Hemostasis |
| "good cholesterol"; lipoproteins that transport cholesterol, triglycerides, and other lipids from bolld to body tissues. | High-density lipoprotein |
| excess lipids or fatty substances in the blood | Hyperlipidemia |
| reduced oxygen delivery to cells. Total reduction of oxygen supplied is called anoxia. | Hypoxia |
| sudden loss of blood supply to an area that results in cell death. A myocardial infarction is known as a heart attack. A cerebral infarction is also known as a stroke. | Infaction |
| reductionof blood supplied to tissues that is typically caused by blood vessel obstruction due to atherosclerosis, stenosis, or plaque. | Ischemia |
| ischemia in the brain | Ischemic stroke |
| small globules of cholelsterol covered in by a layer of protein | Lipoprotein |
| compound consisting of a lipid and protein that carries the majority of the toatl cholesterol in the blood and deposits the excess along the inside of arterial walls; also known as "bad cholesterol". | Low-density lipoprotein - LDL |
| disease of the mitral valve involving build-up of plaque-like material around the valve | Mitral valve stenosis |
| cell death | Necrosis |
| fatty chloesterol | Plaque |
| structures found in the blood that are involved in the coagulation process | Platelets |
| test given to determine effectiveness of warfarin in reducing clotting time | Partial thromboplastin time - PTT |
| test given to determine the effectiveness of warfarin in reducing clotting time | Prothrombin time - PT - Pro-time, INR |
| breakdown of muscle fibers and release of muscle fiber contents into the circulation. These muscle fibers are toxic to the kidneys | Rhabdomyolysis |
| stiffening and narrowing of artery walls | Stenosis |
| drug used to dissolve blood clots | Thrombolytic |
| stroke caused by thrombosis | Thrombotic stroke |
| naturally occuring thrombolytic substance | Tissue plasminogen activator - t-PA |
| stroke that typically lasts for a few minutes; also known as a mini-stroke | Transient ischemic attack - TIA |
| storage form of energy found in fat tissue muscle; metabolize to very low-density lipoproteins - VLDLs | Triglycerides |
| stroke | CVA |
| low density lipids | LDL |
| med for stroke | TNK |
| breaks apart clot | Anticoagulant |
| heart disease, cancer,stroke | leading causes of death in the us*** |
| vascular occulsion and hypoperfusion 85% of strokes | ischemic stroke |
| seeping of blood (extravasation) into the brain or subarachnoid space 15% of strokes | hemorrhagic stroke |
| S- ask to smile T- ask to talk and say a simple sentence like "it is sunny outside" R- raise both arms ..... if they have trouble with any call 911 and tell symptoms to dispatcher | How do you know if someone is having a stroke*** 3 simple question |
| numbness, weakness, or paralysis of the face, arem, or leg usually on only one side, sudden difficulty speaking or understanding, blurred vision, dizziness, balance or coordination, headache(bad), stiff neck, facial pain, pain between eyes, vomitting | signs of stroke |
| family history, age, sex and race, HTN, cholesterol, cigarette smoking, diabetes, stress.... in the right amount may be good for it, obesity, cardiovascular disease(CHF, Previous MI, valve infection or replacement, abnormal heart rythem(AFIB)), birth cont | risk for stroke |
| less than 200 mg/dl (miligrams of cholesterol per deciliter of blood) 100 is optimal, 100-129 is near optimal, 130-159 is borderline high, 160-189 is high, >190 is very high | cholesterol*** |
| fish, fruits, folic acid, potassium, lowering homocystein levels, whole grains, excersize 3X a week | cholesterol***lowering risk |
| statins-lower risk of stroke even if not lowering cholesteral(EX> zocor(simvastin)), angioedema with prinivil, zestril(lisinopril) | lipid lowering meds |
| paralysis on one side of the body | Hemiplegia |
| weakness on one side of the body | hemiparesis |
| swallowing difficulty due to the impaired function of the mouth, tongue, palate, larynx, pharynx, or upper esophugus | dysphagia |
| imapaired of the power of speeh, writing, or signs or comprehension of spoken or written language | dysphasia |
| no speaking | aphasic |
| paralysis on the right more likely to have speaking issues | left hemipheric stroke |
| left paralysis can speak but may not make sense | right hemipheric stroke |
| people with may have impaired mobility, acute pain, self care deficits, disturbed sensory perception, urinary incontinence, bowel incontinence, disturbed thought processes, risk for impaired skin, coping, sexual dysfuntion | ishemic stroke |
| neck pain, vomitting, sudden change in level of consciousness, seizures, tinnitus, dizziness, s/s of ischemic stroke | hemorragic stroke |
| narrowing of the lumen of the involved cranial blood vessel+ 40-50% mortality rate,, may do CT scan, may use transcranial doppler ultrasonography(TCD), may occur up to 2 weeks after initial bleed | vasospasm*** |
