Management of Patients With Complications From Heart Disease-Chapter 30
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| acute decompensated heart failure: | acute exacerbation of heart failure, with signs and symptoms resulting in markedly lower systemic perfusion |
| afterload: | the resistance to ejection of blood from a ventricle |
| anuria: | urine output of less than 50 mL/24 h |
| ascites: | an accumulation of serous fluid in the peritoneal cavity |
| cardiac output (CO): | the amount of blood pumped out of the heart in 1 minute |
| cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT): | a treatment for heart failure in which a device paces both ventricles to synchronize contractions |
| compliance: | the elasticity or amount of “give” when blood enters the ventricle |
| congestive heart failure (CHF): | a fluid overload condition (congestion) associated with heart failure contractility: |
| diastolic heart failure: | the inability of the heart to pump sufficiently because of an alteration in the ability of the heart to fill; current term used to describe a type of heart failure |
| ejection fraction (EF): | percentage of blood volume in the ventricles at the end of diastole that is ejected during systole; a measurement of contractility |
| heart failure (HF): | the inability of the heart to pump sufficient blood to meet the needs of the tissues for oxygen and nutrients; signs and symptoms of pulmonary and systemic congestion may or may not be present |
| left-sided heart failure (left ventricular failure): | inability of the left ventricle to fill or pump (empty) sufficient blood to meet the needs of the tissues for oxygen and nutrients; traditional term used to describe patient’s symptoms of heart failure |
| oliguria: | diminished urine output; less than 500 mL/24 h |
| orthopnea: | shortness of breath when laying flat |
| paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea (PND): | shortness of breath that occurs suddenly during sleep |
| pericardiocentesis: | procedure that involves aspiration of fluid from the pericardial sac |
| pericardiotomy: | surgically created opening of the pericardium |
| preload: | the amount of myocardial stretch just before systole caused by the volume of blood presented to the ventricle |
| pulmonary edema: | abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitial spaces and alveoli of the lungs |
| pulseless electrical activity (PEA): | condition in which electrical activity is present but there is not an adequate pulse or blood pressure |
| pulsus paradoxus: | systolic blood pressure that is more than 10 mm Hg higher during exhalation than during inspiration; difference is normally less than 10 mm Hg |
| right-sided heart failure (right ventricular failure): | inability of the right ventricle to fill or pump (empty) sufficient blood to the pulmonary circulation |
| stroke volume (SV): | amount of blood pumped out of the ventricle with each contraction |
| systolic heart failure: | inability of the heart to pump sufficiently because of an alteration in the ability of the heart to contract; current term used to describe a type of heart failure. |
