Question
Answer
acute cornary syndrome non modifiable risk factors   age >65, male gender, increase in african americans  
🗑
acute coronary syndrome modifiable risk factors   smoking, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, inactivity, obesity, diabetes  
🗑
MI can be seen on the EKG with a   ST segment elevation (STEMI)  
🗑
chest pain assessment involves   NOPQRST normal, onset, precipitating and palliative factors, quality, region, severity, time  
🗑
riping pain between the shoulder blades and be referenced to   aortic discetion  
🗑
predictable, occurs with physical exertion or stress, result of fixed lesions, pain relieved with rest or nitro   stable angina  
🗑
change from previous pattern, occurs at rest, more intense, not relieved with nmormal measures, requires immediate treatment, pre-infarction angina   unstable angina  
🗑
form of unstable angina, usual occurs at rest, spasms of cornoary artery, occurs with or withour atherosclerotic lesions, smoking alcohol and recreational drugs, treatment is the use of calcium channel blockers   prinzmental angina  
🗑
plaque rupture, inflamation in the heart, thrombus formation, irreversible damage starts in twenty to forty min. This process will continue for several hours   MI: Myocardial Infarction  
🗑
most specific cardiac marker   Troponin I  
🗑
cardiac markers that show MI   CK-MB, CK, and Troponin I  
🗑
Shown by a T-wave inversion on the EKG   ischemia  
🗑
shown by an ST elevation on the EKG   injury  
🗑
shown by a Q wave compared to the previous one on the EKG   infarction  
🗑
dilates veins and can cause headaches   nitro  
🗑
location: heart Effects of Stimulation: positive inotropic and chronotropic actions   Beta 1  
🗑
location: Bronchial smooth muscle, vacular smooth muscle and AV node Effects of Stimulation: Bronchodilation, Vasodilation, positive dromotropic action   Beta 2  
🗑
location: Vascular smooth muscle and heart Effects of Stimulation: vasoconstriction and weak positive inotropic and chronotropic actions   Alpha 1  
🗑
location: presynaptic sympatietic nerve endings Effects of Stimulation: inhibition of norepinephrine release   Alpha 2  
🗑
location: kidney and splanchnic vessel Effects of Stimulation: renal and splanchmic vessel vasodilation   dopaminergic  
🗑
Why do we use dopaminergic receptor stimulation   to increase renal perfusion  
🗑
what do we use alpha and beta receptor stimulation   increases myocardial contractility and improve CO  
🗑
resent stroke, trauma and surgery patients cannot have what type of medication due to the risk of bleeding   Thromobolytics (TNKase, TPA)  
🗑
Thormbolytics are also known as   "clot busters"  
🗑
What must you check before sending a patient to the cath lab   renal function because the contrast die can further harm the kidneys also check for dye allergies  
🗑
IABP: intra aortic Balloon Pump is used to   decrease the workload of the left ventricle by decreasing afterload, increases perfusion of the cornary arteries decreases O2 consumption, and increases cardiac output  
🗑
after a IABP is put in what needs to be assessed   pulses, urinary output, position, platelet count, and head of bed elevated no greater than 30 degrees  
🗑
Antihyperlipidemics   drugs used to decrease lipid levels  
🗑
