Question
Answer
Stroke Volume (SV)   Amount of blood ejected with each contraction. Normal: 55-100mL/beat  
🗑
Cardiac Output (CO)   Amount of blood ejcted per minute. (SV x HR). Normal: 4-5L/min  
🗑
Cardiac Index   CO divided by body surface area. Normal: 2.5-2.3L/min  
🗑
Ejection Fraction (EF)   Percentage of blood emptied from LV during systole. Normal: 60-70%  
🗑
Myocardial Oxygen Demand (MVO2)   Energy cost to the myocardium. Calculated by rate pressure product (RPP)  
🗑
Rate Pressure Product (RPP)   Heart rate times systolic blood pressure (HR x SBP)  
🗑
Hyperkalemia   Increased concentration of potassium decreases HR & force of contraction. Produces wide PR interval & QRS, and tall T waves.  
🗑
Hypokalemia   Decreased concentration of potassium. Produces flat T waves, prolonged PR & QT intervals. May lead to V-Fib.  
🗑
Aortic Valve Auscultation   2nd right intercostal space at the sternal border  
🗑
Pulmonic Valve Auscultation   2nd left intercostal space at the sternal border  
🗑
Tricuspid Valve Auscultation   4th left intercostal space at the sternal border  
🗑
Mitral Valve Auscultation   5th left intercostal space at the midclavicular area  
🗑
Apical Pulse Palpation   Point of maximal impulse (PMI). 5th intercostal space at the midclavicular line.  
🗑
S1 ("lub")   closing of mitral & tricuspid valves. Beginning of systole. Decreased in first degree heart block.  
🗑
S2 ("dub")   Closing of aortic & pulmonary valves. End of systole. Decreased is decreased in aortic stenosis.  
🗑
S3   Ventricular filling. In older individuals it may indicate CHF of LV.  
🗑
S4   Ventricular filling & artial contraction. Indicates pathology such as: CAD, MI, aortic stenosis, or chronic HTN.  
🗑
P wave   Atrial depolorization  
🗑
P-R interval   Time it takes for impulse to travel from Atria to Purkinje Fibers  
🗑
QRS complex   Ventricular depolarization  
🗑
ST segment   Beginning of ventricular repolarization  
🗑
T wave   Ventricular repolarization  
🗑
Stage 1 HTN   130-140/90-100mmHg  
🗑
Stage 2 HTN   140-160/100-110mmHg  
🗑
Stage 3 HTN   >160/110mmHg  
🗑
Dyspnea   Shortness of breath. Dyspnea on exerction (DOE)  
🗑
Orthopnea   Inability to breathe when in a reclined position.  
🗑
Paroxysmal Nocturnal Dyspnea (PND)   Sudden inability to breathe occuring during sleep.  
🗑
Dyspnea Scale   +1 mild, noticeable only to Pt+2 mild, noticeable, some difficulty+3 moderate , but can continue with activity+4 severe & cannot continue with activity  
🗑
Hypoxemia   Low amount of oxygen in the blood. Saturation <90%.  
🗑
Hypoxia   Low oxygen level in the tissues  
🗑
Anginal Scale   1+ light, barely noticeable2+ moderate, noticeable3+ severe, very uncomfortable4+ most severe pain ever experienced  
🗑
Inferior MI   Occlusion of the RCA, affecting RV & upper conduction system.  
🗑
Lateral MI   Circumflex artery occlusion  
🗑
Anterior MI   Occlusion of the LAD, affecting the lower conduction system  
🗑
Signs Associated with Right Sided CHF   Nausea, weight gain, peripheral edema, murmur of tricuspid insuffiency  
🗑
Signs Associated with Left Sided CHF   Fatigue, cough, SOB, DOE, orthopnea, PND, diaphoresis, tachydardia, crackles, confusion, decreased urine output, murmur of mitral insufficiency  
🗑
Nitrates (Nitroglycerin)   Causes peripheral & coronary vasodilation, reduces myocardial oxygen demand, and reduces chest pain (angina)  
🗑
Beta-adrenergic Blockers   Cause a sinus bradycardia and AV block to decrease HR & contractility to reduce BP  
🗑
Calcium Channel Blockers   Inhibit the flow of calcium, decrease HR, dilate coronary arteries, reduce BP & contractility  
🗑
Digitalis (digoxin)   Increases contractility but decreases HR by slowing conduction through the AV node. Primarily used to treat CHF  
🗑
Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)   Surgical dilation of a blood vessel using a balloon tipped catheter inflated insude the lumen to relieve obstructed blood flow.  
🗑
Intravascular Stents   An endoprosthesis (wire mesh) is implanted post-angioplasty  
🗑
Coronary Artery Bypass Grapht (CABG)   Surgical bypass of a coronary artery occlusion using either a saphenous vein or internal mammary artery.  
🗑
Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs)   An accessory pump that improves tissue perfusion & maintains circulation. Used in severely involved patients.  
🗑
Thromboangitis Obliterans (Buerger's Disease)   Chronic, inflammatory vascular occlusive disease of small arteries & veins. Common in young adults who smoke.  
🗑
Raynaud's Disease   Abnormal vasoconstrictor reflex exacerbated by cold or emotional stress.  
🗑
Dopamine   Alpha-adrenergic effects to vasoconstrict & increase BP. >5mcg used as a pressor to increase BP (contraindication to ex). <5mcg used for renal perfusion (ok to ex).  
🗑
Levophed   Used to increase BP and is a contraindication to ex/walking.  
🗑
Cardiogenic Shock   Often a direct result of MI. Global hypoperfusion, decreased urine output, altered mentation, hypotension.  
🗑
Cholecystectomy   Gall bladder removal  
🗑
Cardiac Temponade   A condition in which the heart is unable to fully expand due to pericardial effusion.  
🗑
Normal Arterial Blood Gas Values(ABG's)   pH (7.35-7.45); PaO2 (70-100mmHg); PaCO2 (35-45mmHg); HCO3 (22-26mEq/L); O2 Sat (>95%)  
🗑
Respiratory Alkalosis   When ventilation is increased, more carbon dioxide is removed causing pH to increase (more base).  
🗑
Respiratory Acidosis   When ventilation is decreased, less carbon dioxide is removed causing an increase in carbonic acid and lowering the pH (more acidic).  
🗑
Metabolic Alkalosis   When bicarbonate (HCO3) levels are high. Possible causes: vomitting, nasogastric suction, certain diuretic meds...HCO3 may also elevate to compensate for respiratory acidosis.  
🗑
Metabolic Acidosis   When bicarbonate (HCO3) levels are low. Possible causes: diabetic ketoacidosis, uremia (with renal disease), lactic acidosis...HCO3 may also decrease to compensate for respiratory alkalosis.  
🗑
