Cardiovascular Pathophysiology studies for Karens class

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Space containing small amount of fluid   Pericardial Cavity  
🗑
Slight delay in conduction at the AV node going to AV Bundle(Bundle of His) allowing for complete _______ __________.   ventricular filling  
🗑
These waves on ECG mark the depolarization of ventricles...   QRS waves  
🗑
Responsible for signalling cardiovascular control center of changes in systemic BP   Baroreceptors  
🗑
When secretions of epinephrine increase, heart rate increases leading to increased ______ ________   heart contractions  
🗑
The first arteries to branch off of the aorta; immediately distal to aortic valve   Coronary arteries  
🗑
With each contraction of the heart left ventricular output is the same as ______ _________ _______.   Right ventricular output  
🗑
The right Ventricle sends blood to...   The lungs  
🗑
The left ventricle sends blood to...   The body  
🗑
The ability of the heart to increase cardiac output whenever needed is   Cardiac Reserve (Cardiac Function)  
🗑
Looks at the volume of venous return; how much coming in   Preload  
🗑
Reflex adjustment that controls localized vasodilation/vasoconstriction in the arterioles   Auto regulation  
🗑
Diagnostic test for cardiovascular function; used to demonstrate, an abnormality, in movement of heart valves; records heart valve movements, blood flow, and cardiac output.   Echocardiography  
🗑
Drug therapy used to treat heart failure; improves cardiac efficiency, slowing heart rate and increasing force of cardiac contraction   Digoxin  
🗑
Drug therapy; taken in small doses on a continual basis to reduce platelet adhesion   Asprin  
🗑
General term for all types of arterial changes; looks at degenerative changes in small arteries and arterioles   Arteriosclerosis  
🗑
Major factor contributing to atheroma formation; transport of cholesterol from liver to cells   Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)  
🗑
Risk factors for Atherosclerosis that CANNOT be changed; including age, gender and genetic/familial factors   Non-modifiable  
🗑
Risk factors for Athersclerosis that CAN be changed; include obesity, sedentary lifestyle, cigarette smoking, diabetes mellitus, poorly controlled hypertension, and combination of oral contraceptives and smoking   Modifiable  
🗑
Risk factor for Atherosclerosis; stimulates/promotes platelet adhesion   cigarette smoking  
🗑
Rerouting blood flow around obstructed blood vessel, using a grafted blood vessel   Coronary Artery Bypass Graft  
🗑
Early warning signs/symptoms include angina, hypotension, pallor and dyspnea   Heart attack  
🗑
Certain changes in this diagnostic test can confirm the presence of a myocardial infarction   ECG  
🗑
Complication of MI; usually due to ventricular arrythmias and fibrillation   Sudden death  
🗑
Degree of heartblock in AV node abnormality; conduction delayed of AV node resulting in intermittent missed ventricular contractions;every 2nd to 3rd beat is dropped at AV node   Second degress  
🗑
Ventricular conduction abnormality; very rapid heart rate/ reduces cardiac output because ventricular filling is decreased   Ventricular tachycardia  
🗑
Treatment of cardiac dysrhythmias; SA nodal problems or total heart block require this   pacemaker  
🗑
Inability of heart to pump enough blood to meet metabolic needs of the body   Congestive Heart Failure  
🗑
Reacting to decrease cardiac output increase secretion of renin aldosterone secretions; Increased heart rate and Oliguria   Compensatory Mechanisms  
🗑
Another compensation measure to help the heart not working as it should decrease in urinary output   Oliguria  
🗑
Signs and sypmtoms: systemic signs of right sided failure; Dependent edema in feet, legs, or buttocks; the edema will be found in lower body   Congestive Heart Failure  
🗑
Feeding difficulties are often the first sign of this; failure to gain weight or meet developemental guidelines also follows   Childhood CHF  
🗑
Used to decrease renin secretions and decrease vasoconstriction in chilhood CHF   ACE Inhibitors  
🗑
These defects can be detected by the presence of a murmur   Congenital Heart Defects  
🗑
Signs and symptoms: Pallor, dyspnea on exertion, clubbed fingers, Delayed growth and development   Congenital Heart Defects  
🗑
Signs and symptoms: Tachycardia with very rapid sleeping pulse and frequent pulse deficit, squatting position (toddlers and older children) which modifies blood flow, Intolerance for excercise and exposure to cold weather   Congenital Heart Defects  
🗑
A.K.A A whole in the heart   Ventricular Septal Defects  
🗑
Defect that causes blood to flow from the left ventricle to the right   Ventricular Septal Defect  
🗑
Valvular Defect; Causes blood to (go backward) regurgitate   Incompetent Valves  
🗑
Are given to patients with certain congenital heart defects or damaged heart valves immediately before invasive procedures to prevent formation of infective endocarditis   Prophylactic Antibacterial drugs  
🗑
A friction rub is associated with this due to no fluid or something (gritty) in fluid; reduction of cardiac output due to this excessive fluid within the Pericardial cavity itself;   Pericarditis  
🗑
Decreases the hearts ability to expand and fill...   Pericarditis  
🗑
This arterial disease's cause is Idiopathic (unknown)   Primary (Essential) Hypertension  
🗑
How many forms of hypertension are there?   3  
🗑
Names/forms of which Arterial Disease?Primary (essential/idiopathic) Secondary Malignant/Resistant   Hypertension  
🗑
Kidneys,Heart, Brain, Retina; these areas are most frequently damaged by...   Hypertension  
🗑
Antihypertensive medication's most common adverse effect is this; not umcommon in elderly; Stand up/sit down and BP lowers   Orthostatic Hypotension  
🗑
Sign/Symptom of Peripheral Vascular Disease (atherosclerosis): Leg Pain due to circulation not being able to keep up with demand   Intermittent Claudication  
🗑
Tear in intimal lining; allows blood to flow between the layers of the aortic wall   Dissecting Aneurysm  
🗑
True/False: Aneurysms always require surgery...   False  
🗑
Manifestation of aneurysms result from compression of _______ ________.   Adjacent structures  
🗑
Fever, malaise, leukocytosis; sytemic signs for...   Thrombophlebitis and Phlebothrombosis;  
🗑
Follows MI when a large portion of myocardium is damaged   Shock  
🗑
