| Answer |
|
|
| This abnormal sound is ascultated over arteris that have a constriction in blood flow through them. |
Bruit (pronounced brewey) |
| How should the patient be positioned for inspection of jugular veins for distention and pulsation? |
reclining at 45 degrees |
| Name at least 5 ways you can assess sufficiency in the extremities of arteries and veins.. |
color, skin texture, nail changes, presence of hair, muscular atrophy, edema, varicose veins |
| Caused by defects in the pulmonary vascular bed, pulmonary hypertension, and left-to-right shunts, less commn than but usually occurs with left ventricle hypertrophy. |
Right ventricle hypertrophy |
| This sinoatrial node dsyfunction may be secondary to hypertension, arterioclerotic heart disease, rheumatic fever, or idiopathic. |
Sick sinus syndrome |
| Bacterial infection of the endocardial layer of heart and valves. |
Bacterial endocarditis |
| This disorder is many times seen in IV drug users and Janeway leseions and osler modes are characteristic of it. |
Bacterial endocarditis |
| A failure of the heart to propel blood forward, resulting in congestion in the pulmonary or systemic circulation. |
Congestive heart failure |
| Researchers found that jugular vein distention was the most helping finding in diagnosing this disorder, although dyspnea, orthopnea, tachycardia, and crackles in lungs can also correlate. |
congestive heart failure |
| This disorder is the result of inflammation in the pericardium resulting in chest pain, minicking life threatening cardiac conditions. |
Pericarditis |
| The key clinical finding in this disorder is friction rub upon ascultation, and may worsen with pericardial effusion and resultant cardiac tamponade. |
Pericarditis |
| An excessive accumulation of effused fluid or blood via trauma to the chest wall between the pericardium and the heart resulting in a constraint in cardiac relaxation, impairing the access of blood to the right heart. |
Cardiac tamponade |
| This is an enlargement in the right ventricle secondary to pulmonary malfunction; can lead to atrial hypertension, loud S2 sound in pulmonic area. |
Cor Pulmonale |
| After a car accident, patient presents to the ER with jugular vein distention, increased liver size, cardiac tamponade, rapid weak pulse, BP 90/68, and dyspnea... one may suspect what condition? |
hemopericardium |
| Ischemic myocardial necrosis caused by an abrupt decrease in coronary blood flow to a segment of the myocardium. |
Myocardial infartion |
| Symptoms of this include cruching substernal pain, visceral pain radiating to the jaw, neck, left arm, may have soft blowing murmur, pulse maybe thready, and distant heart sound. |
Myocardial infarction |
| Elevation of this 8-12 hours after a suspected MI can be confirmatory. |
Triponin I |
| Elevation of this 4-6 hrs, with a peak in 14-30hrs, after a suspected MI can be confirmatory. |
CK MB |
| This is a rapid, regular HR (200/min) as a result of electrical stimulation originating in a focus other than the atrium seperate from the SA node. |
Atrial tachycardia |
| Atrial tachycardia, which is usually seen in young adults, can respond to what physical treatments. |
Holding breath, gentle carotid massage, vagal stimulation |
| Tetrology of fallot involves what four cardiac defect. |
ventricle septal defect, pulmonic defect (narrowed pulmonic trunk), dextroposition of the aorta, rt. ventricle hypertrophy |
| Central cyanois and dsypnea with loss of consciousness in an infant is life threatening and indicative of what condition? |
Tetrology of Fallot |
| Symptoms of this defect include: holosystolic murmur that is loud, high-pitched, along left sternal margin, and doesnt radiate to the neck; also a thrill may be palpable. |
ventricle septal defect |
| This is a congenital stenosis of the aorta near the origin of the left subclavian artery and the ligamentum arteriosum. |
Coarctation of the aorta |
| When palpating the radial and femoral pulses simutaneously, noting a delay and/or diminished of amplitude of the femoral pulse and also having BP in legs lower than upper extremities may indicate. |
coarctation of the aorta |
