signs and symptoms include dyspnea, orthopnea, crackles in the lungs, cough of frothy sputum paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, fatigue
What is Left-sided heart failure
Which heart chamber receives blood from pulmonary circulation?
What is the left atrium
This fetal condition is caused from the artery connecting the aorta and the pulmonary artery that does not close within the first week of life
What is Patent ductus arteriosus
Name risk factors that place patient's at a higher risk for hypertension (hint 1 non-mod, 2 mod)
What is advanced age, high sodium diet, cigarette smoking
What system allow fluid filtered from the vascular system to be reabsorbed by the body's circulatory system?
What is the lymphatic system
This type occurs when the right ventricle cannot pump blood effectively into the pulmonary artery and causes the blood to "back up" into systemic venous circulation
What is right sided heart failure
Starting with the pacemaker of the heart name the correct conduction system of the heart
What is SA, AV, Bundle of His, Purkinje fibers
A cardiac defect that where the pulmonary artery leaves the left ventricle and the aorta exits the right ventricle
What is transposition of the great arteries
Decreased heart rate is an expected finding in a patient when what nerve is stimulated
vagus nerve
Patient's with low EF (ejection fraction) have what type of cardiac failure?
What is ventricular failure
Which three murmurs would a nurse monitor in a patient with left-sided heart failure
What is aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, aortic regurgitation
This side of the circulatory system pumps blood through the lungs, delivers blood to the lungs for oxygen and is a low pressure system
What is right sided function aka pulmonary circulation
Formerly known as mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome this is a acute self-limiting systemic vasculitis that may cause serious cardiac problems
What is Kawasaki Disease
What happens to the heart when epinephrine and norepinephrine are released
What vessel wall is thinner than the other
What is vein walls are thinner than artery walls
What are risk factors for developing heart failure
What is Obesity, diabetes, hypertension, ischemic heart disease
This is a key component of the circulatory system and is important as it is a critical factor in the development of vascular and other diseases
What is the Vascular Endothelium that is at times considered a separate endocrine organ
Parents of a elementary aged child report that patient has decreased ability to participate in gym class and they are worried about a heart condition. Which heart condition would the nurse be suspicious of?
What is aortic stenosis
What is the end effect of the RAAS system
What is aldosterone will increase renal absorption of water and sodium
What are the signs of an Acute myocardial infarction (AMI)
What is cool clammy skin, crushing chest pain, n/v
Blood is not being pumped effectively to lungs and backs up into the right atrium and peripheral circulation
Right-sided heart failure
This system pumps oxygenated blood through the systemic circulation, delivers metabolic waste products to the lungs, kidneys, and liver. It is a high pressure system.
What is left sided function (Systemic circulation)
This syndrome is represented by FOUR cardiac defects: large Ventricular septal defect (VSD), overriding aorta straddles the VSD, Pulmonary stenosis, and right ventricle hypertrophy
What is Tetralogy of Fallot
What major artery is the focus of interventions in order to reverse ischemic effects on a patient with a myocardial ischemia
What is the coronary
