uses dye and special x rays to show the insides of your coronary (heart) arteries.
What is coronary angiography?
100

What is the saphenous vein?
100
2-6 mm Hg
What is normal CVP?
100
Administer diuretics early in the am so as not to disturb sleep patterns; auscultate lungs, compare daily body weights, and monitor I & O
What are nursing interventions to manage fluid volume?
100
increased in conditions such as hypervolemia, regurgitation of heart valves, and heart failure
What is preload?
200
The test provides information about the size and shape of your heart and how well your heart's chambers and valves are working. The test can identify areas of poor blood flow to the heart, areas of heart muscle that aren't contracting normally, and previous injury to the heart muscle caused by poor blood flow.
What is echocardiography?

What is the left internal mammary?
200
4-12 mm Hg
What is normal PAWP?
200
restlessness in early stages; confusion and severe anxiety in later stages
What are s/s of decreased cardiac output?
200
increased in conditions such as hypertension and vasoconstriction
What is afterload?
300
During this test, you exercise (or are given medicine if you're unable to exercise) to make your heart work hard and beat fast while heart tests are done.
What is stress test?
300
a medically supervised program that helps improve the health and well-being of people who have heart problems.
What is cardiac rehab?
300
4-8 L/minute
What is normal cardiac output?
300
initial treatment modality for decreased preload
What is fluid challenge?
300
when sytemic vascular resistance increases, this decreases
What is cardiac output?
400
shows how fast your heart is beating and its rhythm (steady or irregular). It also records the strength and timing of electrical signals as they pass through each part of your heart.
What is an EKG?
400
Often prescribed post surgery to prevent clots from forming inside stents or grafts
What is clopidogrel (Plavix)?
400
two factors that determine how much oxygen is transported to the tissues
What is arterial oxygen content and cardiac output?
400
restriction of activity; providing quiet, relazed atmosphere; organized nursing and medical care
What are nursing interventions to decrease oxygen demands?
400
zero referencing point for the pressure monitoring system
What is phlebostatic axis?
500
During this procedure, a thin tube with a balloon or other device on the end is threaded through a blood vessel to the narrowed or blocked coronary artery.
