| Pulse pressure | the difference between systolic and diastolic. Normal is 30 to 40 mm of Hg. |
| A narrow pulse pressure can be attributed to? | hypovolemia, slow heart rate and hypertension |
| Heart Failure = Pump Failure Three types: | 1. Left sided heart failure (Left sided heart failure is aka CHF) a. Systolic failure b. Diastolic Failure 2. Right sided heart failure 3. High-output heart failure |
| Physical Assessment: Left Heart Failure | - increased RR, hacking cough - basalar crackles and wheezes - tachacardia, palpatations, S3 gallop - change in mental status |
| Physical Assessment: Right Heart Failure | - JVD - dependent edema - ascites, hepatomegaly - N, V, and anorexia |
| Lasix & Bumex are | are loop diuretics consider K+ supplement |
| Aldactone is a diuretic but it is | potassium sparing |
| calcium channel blockers are? | Verapamil, Norvasc |
| What should you do with calcium channel blockers? | Monitor BP and pulse |
| Ace Inhibitors are? | The Prils - Captopril, Lasinopril. Change positions slowly especially after first dose, |

| KCL - how much are you allowed? | only 10meq/hr |
| A crushing wound of the leg is bad why because of potassium? | Because all the potassium is inside the cell, so the cell is crushed and the potassium is let out, free floating potassium dysrthmia |
| Arteriosclerosis | a thickening, or hardening, of the arterial wall. |
| Atherosclerosis | a type of arteriosclerosis, involves the formation of plaque within the arterial wall the leading contributor to coronary artery and cerebrovascular disease. |
| Diuretics | Monitor I&O and potassium levels |
| Calcium Channel Blocking Agents | Monitor BP & HR |
| Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors | Monitor BP & HR, report edema and cough |
| Angiotensin II receptor Antagonists | Monitor BP & HR, report angioedema |
| Aldosterone Receptor Antagonists | Monitor renal function, Na+ and K+ level |
| Beta-adrenergic blockers | Monitor BP & HR |
| the most common cause of peripheral occlusions | An embolus |
| Raynaud’s disease occurs in women between the age | 17 and 50 years of age, usually bilaterally |
| Thrombosis | is the formation or presence of a blood clot inside a blood vessel or cavity of the heart. |

| Angina | Substernal chest discomfort: Radiating to the left arm Precipitated by exertion or stress Relieved by nitroglycerin or rest Lasting < 15 min Few associated symptoms |
| Myocardial Infarction | Substernal chest pressure: Radiating to the left arm, back, or jaw Occurring without cause, usually in the morning Relieved only by opioids Lasting 30 minutes or more Frequent associated symptoms: Nausea, Diaphoresis, Dyspnea, Feeling of fear and anx |
| for heart attacks what diagnostic assessments do u do? | Laboratory Assessment Troponin T and I, CK-MB, and myoglobin ECGs |
| Diuretic | – teach the clients to take the medication in the morning, daily weight before breakfast |
| ACE inhibitor | teach the clients to move slowly when change position, especially from a lying to a sitting position. Dizziness, light-headedness, and cough need to be reported to the provider |
| ACE inhibitor | Client taking diuretic and ACE Inhibitor – check serum potassium level and renal function every few months. |
| Digoxin | – teach the clients how to take pulse rate |
| High T waves on EKG = | Heart Attack - ischemia - the electrical has to go around the dead tissue - maybe potassium is high? |
| P waves | if they are fluttering that means electrical is going weird. sometimes u cannot distinguish it or it might be flat. |
