Diseases
Which anemia is caused by hemorrhaging or rapid blood loss
Acute blood loss anemia
what type of blood does thenSuperior Vena Cava(svc) and Inferior Vena Cava(ivc) carry/ transport?
Deoxygenated blood
how many types of aneurysms are there
three( cerebral aneurysm, thoracic aneurysm, abdominal aneurysm)
what two test can be used ran to analyze complications within a deep vein
Venogram, and doppler ultrasound
What are the chambers of the heart
Right Atrium, Right Ventricle, Left Atrium, Left Ventricle
What is anemia?
lack or erythrocytes, hemoglobin, or both
What does blood transport through the body
oxygen, waste, nutrients, hormones, and temperature regulation
What is Angina
severe chest pain that radiates down the inner surface of the left arm
Which test uses radioactive material to help visualize
Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
Arteriography
Cardiac Catheterization
What is the name of the muscular wall that seperates the heart into the left and right side of the heart?
Septum
What is an aneurysm
ballooning out of an artery
What is the difference between Erythrocytes and leukocytes?
Erythrocytes: carry oxygen from the lungs through the tissues in the hemoglobin.
Leukocytes: protects the body from infections( bacteria)
What is some treatments for a Congestive Heart Failure( CHF)
Cardiotonic drugs to slow and strengthen the heartbeat,oxygen therapy, exercise, weight loss
What is the difference between a echocardiogram and electrocardiograph
Echocardiogram: uses high frequency sound waves in order to create images of the heart's structure.
Electrocardiograph:a recording of the heart's electrical (Ekg/ Ecg)
What are the roles of the Ventricles
Right ventricle pushes blood into the pulmonary artery in order to go to the lungs for oxygen
Left ventricle pushes blood into the aorta sonit can travel to the rest of the body
What is Coronary artery Disease
a disease of the arteries that surround the heart and carry oxygen and nutrients to the myocardium.
what is the difference between the pulmonary circuit and a systemic circuit
pulmonary circuit: carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs
systemic circuit: carries deoxygenated blood from the left heart to the whole body
What is embolism
Foreign matter that circulates through the bloodstream
Why would a dobutamine stress test be used instead of a regular stress test
The drug may be used when the patient is not able to do physical exercise whether it's due to age or physical limitations so the drug is used to stress the heart
What are the sounds of the heartbeat
Lub- first sound; caused by the valves slamming shut between aorta and ventricles
Dub- second sound; caused by the closure of the semilunar valves closing
What are the three types of Carditis
pericarditis,myocarditis,and endocarditis
what is the pathway of blood?
Svc/ Ivc
right atrium
tricupid valve
right ventricle
pulmonary valve
pulmonary artery
Lungs
pulmonary veins
left atrium
mitral valve
aortic valve
aorta
arteries
arterioles
capillaries
venules
veins
What is the cause of a Myocardial Infarction
a partial or complete blockage of the artery and causes destruction of myocardial tissue
When is a holter monitor used?
when there are pains or irregularities with the heart so there would be a 24- hour evulation
What are the largest veins in the body
Superior and Inferior Vena Cava
