Description/Question | 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 |
