| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Esterified Fish Oils | decrease fat in liver + increase plasma lipoprotein lipase activity Lovaza (omega -3 acid ethyl esters) |
| Nicotinic Acid | Niacin works on LDL +HDL cholesterol in the liver -> decrease TG production by liver +low TG levels Niaspan(niacin) |
| Cardiovascular system | closed system that moves blood using a pump through the body |
| Anatomy | heart, blood vessels(3types), blood |
| BV | blood vessels |
| BP | blood pressure |
| TG | triglycerides/together |
| The heart | four chambers that contract and release in a rhythm |
| Pulmonary circulation | sends blood to lung via P artery. Oxygen rich blood returns to heart via P veins |
| Artery | carry oxygenated blood to the body |
| Vein | carry oxygen depleted blood high in CO2 to heart to be pumped to heart for oxygen |
| Capillaries | part where arteries and blood vessels meet. Facilitate gas, nutrients, and waste exchange |
| Blood | fluid that carries oxygen, carbon dioxide.water etc though body 55%plasma 1% WBC 45%RBC |
| Major Role | deliver nutrients to body, remove waste products, maintain consistent blood supply and pressure |
| Myocardial infarction (MI) | heart attack |
| Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) | stroke |
| Congestive heart failure (CHF) | heart failure |
| Anemia | insufficient RBC |
| Hemorrhaging | bleeding |
| Angina | chest pain |
| Hyperlipidemia | condition of increased fat in blood due to high cholesterol and triglycerides |
| Thrombosis | blood clots form |
| Atherosclerosis | build up of fatty plaque around arteries |
| Arrhythmias | any change from normal heart pulses(help with exercise lifestyle changes) |
| ACE (Angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitors | hat lower blood pressure, treat heart failure, and protect kidney function by relaxing blood vessels |
| HTN | hypertension |
| Orthostatic hypotension | sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing |
| n/v/d | Nausea, Vomiting, and Diarrhea |
| embolus | a blood clot |
| Thrombus | blood clot that forms inside a healthy vein or artery |
| Anaphylaxis | severe allergic reaction |
| Dyspnea | shortness of breathe |
| Anticoagulant | prevent or reduce blood clot formation |
| Antiplatelet | prevent blood cells called platelets from sticking together to form harmful blood clots |
| Thrombolytics/fibronlytics | break up and dissolve blood clots |
| Systolic pressure | measures between when the heart contract |
| Diastolic pressure | measured between beats when heart relaxes |
| Na+ | sodium |
| Ca+ | calcium |
| K+ | potassium |
| URI | upper respiratory infection |
| Palpitations | heart pounding |
| Hyponatremia | condition of low sodium in blood |
| Class 1 (Na+ Channel Blockers) | slow rate of electrical conduction, inhibits irregular rhythms |
| Class 2 (beta blocker) | slow electrical conductivity in hear and decrease O2 usage for normal rhythms |
| Class 3 K+ channel blocker | regulates heart rhythms by blocking potassium that leaves cardiac muscle cells. Regulate muscle contractions=normal rhythms |
| Class 4 Ca+ channel blockers | dilate arteries and decrease heart rate= low BP and decrease work load on heart |
| LDL | low density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol ) |
| Antihypertensive | do not cure hypertension only control it |
| Ischemia | insufficient blood flow to heart |
| Coronary vasodilators | treat angina (no chew or swallow) |
| Prophylactic | prevent disease |
| Nitrates | used to relief acute angina |
| Beta blockers | decrease rate and force of contraction of heart..reduce work load |
| Ca channel blockers | dilate arterial smooth muscle -> vasodilation, decrease BP |
| Antihypertensive | no grape juice |
