Term
what are the 3 kinds of CV disease?
Definition

1. coronary artery disease (CAD)

-ischemic heart disease

-coronary heart disease

2. cerebrovascular disease

3. peripheral artery disease

Term
Different kinds of cardiac diseases
Definition
  1. CV disease
  2. CHF
  3. HTN
  4. valvular disease
  5. cardiomyopathy
  6. infections
  7. auto-immune processes
  8. congenital defects
  9. CP toxicity of drugs
  10. arrhythmias
Term
Myocardial 02 supply is dependent on:
Definition
  • coronary blood flow
    • DBP
    • vasomotor tone
    • resistance to flow
    • LVEDP
  • 02 carrying capacity of blood
  • coronary artery anatomy
  • diastolic filling time
  • net driving pressure

 

Term

Myocardial 02 demand is closely related to myocardial 02 consumption (MV02)

What are the determinants of myocardial 02 demand?

Definition

HR

SBP

myocardial wall tenison

contractility

LV characteristics (volume, wall thickness, diameter)

Term
Rate pressure product
Definition
  • relative changes in MV02 can be estimated by using an indirect index such as the rate pressure product
  • RPP: HRXSBP
Term
  • myocardium extracts ___ of 02 from coronary bf
Definition
75%
Term
  • heart's energy needs are met by AEROBIC METABOLISM
  • heart receives blood from external surface (epicardial)
Definition
Term
describe atherosclerosis
Definition

condition in which fatty material and plaque are deposited in the wall of an artery, resulting in narrowing of the arterial lumen eventual impairment of BF

  • endothelial injury
  • fatty streaks
  • foam cells
  • endothelial separation
  • platelet aggregation
  • decreased compliance
  • encrustation/plaque
Term
what are some major and minor risk factors for CAD?
Definition

Major risk factors

  • HTN
  • smoking
  • HLP
  • sedentary lifestyle

Minor

  • age
  • gender
  • hereditary
  • obesity
  • stress
  • diabetes
Term
what is the defining critera for HTN, LDL, HDL, Total cholesterol, triglycerides for CHD
Definition

HTN: >140/90

LDL: >130mg/dL

HDL: <40mg/dL

TC: >200mg/dL

TC/HDL: >4.5

triglycerides >150mg/dL

Term
what is the criteria for obesity for BMI, waist circumference, and waist/hip ratio
Definition

BMI>30

waist circumference>40min males, >35 in in females

waist hip ration: >95 males, >86 women

Term
for women, how much does the risk of CAD increase postmenopausal?
Definition
2-3X
Term
sudden cardiac death
Definition
  • death within one hour of symptoms
  • may or may not have diagnosed heart disease
  • due to life threatening arrhythmias
Term
Myocardial ischemia
Definition
  • insufficent 02 supply to meet metabolic demands of myocardium
  • occurs with:luminal narrowing, exercise or emotional stress
Term
what are the clinical manifestations of ischemia?
Definition
  • angina pectoris (stable vs. unstable)
  • characteristic ECG changes: ST depression, T wave inversion
  • arrhythmias
  • hypotension
