Hemodynamics
The amount of blood pumped out of the ventricles per minute.
What is Cardiac Output?
The left ventricle loses its ability to relax normally because the muscle has become stiff.
What is Diastolic Heart Failure?
Class of medication that is not part of the foundational four.
What are loop diuretics?
Rapid quivering of a superior chamber of the heart.
What is atrial fibrillation?
The most common cause of left-sided heart failure.
What is ischemic heart disease?
Resistance the left ventricle must overcome to circulate blood.
What is Afterload?
Preferred term representing the persistent and progressive nature of the disease.
What is Chronic Heart Faillure?
Medication that promotes the renal excretion of glucose and induces osmotic diuresis.
What are sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2)?
Poor renal perfusion caused by inadequate cardiac function.
What is cardio-renal dysfunction?
Women are at higher risk for this type of heart failure.
What is heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)?
Volume of blood in the ventricles at the end of diastole.
What is Preload?
Left ventricular ejection fraction 41% to 49%.
What is heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF)?
A combination medication that reduces the risk of cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalization by approximately 20%.
What is sacubitril/valsartan (Entresto)?
Type of valve disorder caused by left ventricular dysfunction.
What is functional mitral regurgitation?
Unscramble this: rathe eeidsas
What is Heart Disease?
Cardiac output per body mass index.
What is Cardiac Index?
Patients who previously had heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and now have an ejection fraction over 40%.
What is heart failure with improved ejection fraction?
A medication most known for its risk of inducing hyperkalemia.
What is spironolactone (Inspra)?
Unintentional severe weight loss caused by advanced heart failure.
What is cardiac cachexia?
What is type 2 diabetes (diabetes mellitus)?
Predictable relationship between the stretch of myocardial fibers and the force of contraction.
What is Frank-Starling Law?
A disorder caused by deposits of an abnormal protein in the heart tissue
What is cardiac amyloidosis.
A selective inhibitor of funny (If) channel.
Patients with heart failure are 6- to 9- times more likely to die of this compared to the general population.
What is sudden cardiac death?
Most common cause of right-sided heart failure without left-sided heart failure.
What is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)?
