Which elevated lab value may be protective against the development of atherosclerosis? ✔️High-
density lipoproteins (HDL)
Ensures one-way blood flow from the left ventricle into the aorta ✔️Aortic valve
Carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the right lung ✔️Right pulmonary artery
Carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the systemic circulation ✔️Aorta (aortic arch)
Transports deoxygenated blood from the head and upper extremities to the right atrium ✔️Superior
vena cava
Ensures one-way blood flow from the right ventricle to the left lung ✔️Pulmonary valve
Carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the left lung ✔️Left pulmonary artery
Transports deoxygenated blood from the trunk and lower extremities to the right atrium ✔️Inferior
vena cava
,Transports oxygenated blood from the left lung to the left atrium? ✔️Left pulmonary veins
Provides one-way flow of blood from the right atrium into the right ventricle ✔️tricuspid valve
Right ventricle enlargement caused by chronic pulmonary hypertension? ✔️Corpulmonale
Which chamber of the heart endures the highest pressures? ✔️Left Ventricle
Occlusion of the left anterior descending artery during a myocardial infarction would interrupt blood
supply to which structures? ✔️Left and right ventricles and much of the interventricular septum
What is the initiating event that leads to the development of atherosclerosis? ✔️Injury to the
endothelial cells that line the artery walls
Name 4 Age-related changes associated with the cardiovascular system include? ✔️1. decreased
cardiac output
2. increased blood pressure
3. decreased compliance of the heart muscle
4. thickening of the heart valves.
, An individual who is demonstrating elevated levels of troponin, creatine kinase-isoenzyme MB (CK-MB),
and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) is exhibiting indicators associated with which condition? ✔️Myocardial
infarction (MI)
Which form of heart failure may result from pulmonary disease and elevated pulmonary vascular
resistance? ✔️Right-sided Heart Failure
Orthopnea, crackles and coughing pink frothy sputum result from back up into the lungs from which
heart failure? ✔️Left-sided Heart Failure
jugular venous distention, hepatomegaly and ankle edema are more from backup from which heart
failure? ✔️Right-sided Heart failure
Dilated cardiomyopathy means that ✔️the cardiac chambers are enlarged (increased diastolic volume)
and the myocardium has decreased contractility.
In restrictive cardiomyopathy, the cardiac chambers ✔️have decreased volume and the myocardium is
rigid and noncompliant
