NU 327 Exam 4 Questions with All
Correct Answers
Orthostatic Hypertension - Answer- decreases BP when moving from resting to non-
resting SBP drop 20 >mmHg or DBP 10>mmHg

Alterations in Cardiac function - Answer- Coronary Heart Disease
Ischemia
Myocardial ischemia
Agina Pectoris
myocardial infarction
Vulvar disease
Disorders of Mitral Valve
Mitral Valve Prolapse

Coronary Heart Disease - Answer- underlying cause: atherosclerosis. plaque build up in
coronary arteries (arteries that supply O2 to the heart tissue)

Ischemia - Answer- inadequate O2 supply to the myocardium b/c of impaired blood flow

Myocardium - Answer- tissues of the heart

Myocardial Ischemia - Answer- acute coronary syndrome: sudden obstruction of
coronary blood flow
Chronic CS: plaque build up over time, the heart as time to develope other pathways

Angina Pectoris - Answer- Chest pain;
Stable: narrowing/stiffening of coronary heart vessel - predictable
Variant (prinzmetal): coronary vasospasms, unpredicatbale
Unstable: hard to distinguish b/w MI

Myocardial infarction - Answer- prolonged or total disruption of blood flow to the
myocardium.

Signs of MI - Answer- 1. SEVERE chest pain that lasts >15 min
2. ECG changes - ST segment elevated or not elevated (better outcome)
3. Serum markers - CK-MB only elevated 48-72 hrs, troponin elevated longer(marker of
choice)

Treatment of MI - Answer- Reduce O2 demand, increase O2 supply, apsirin

, Vulvar disease - Answer- dmg caused by inflammaton, scarring, and calcification

Stenosis - Answer- failure for valve to open completely = increased work

Regurgitation - Answer- failure of valve to close. Backflow into prev. chamber

Prolapse - Answer- valves balloon backwards

Disorders of the mitral valve - Answer- Mitral stenosis - increases LA pressure,
increases pulmonic pressure, calcium deposits

Mitral regurgitation: back flow of blood from LV to LA = LS HF

Mitral Valve Prolapse - Answer- Mitral valve balloons into LA during systole

SIGNS: murmurs palpitations, dysrythmias, dizziness, dyspnea

disorders of Aortic Valve - Answer- Aortic Stenosis - Calcium deposits on aortic cusps,
increased LV pressure, can lead to LS HF
SIGNS: Syncope, low SBP, faint pulse

Aortic regurgitations - blood leaks from aorta into LV. LS HF

Diseases of the endocardium - Answer- Rheumatic Heart Dz
Ineffective endocarditis

Rheumatic Heart Dz - Answer- predisposed by rheumatic fever.
Heart Dmged from immune attack on own tissue.
heart valves become scarred and shortened

Inefective endocarditis - Answer- infection of endocardial structures by microorganisms
= INFLAMMATION

SIGNS: low fever, fatigue, weigh loss, flu-like, murmurs

Treatment of ineffective endocarditis - Answer- antibiotics, valve replacement

DZ of myocardium - Answer- Myocarditis
Cardiomyopathy

Myocarditis - Answer- inflammation/ necrosis of ardiac muscle cells caused by bacteria.
Immune attack on self myocardum. Muscle becomes "flabby"

Cardiomyopathy - Answer- Dilated-dilated ventricles: elarged ventricle chambers -
reduced contractility
