HF basics
This equation defines cardiac output
HR x SV
SOB when lying flat is called
orthopnea
What do you use to prescribe intensity to those on beta blockers
borg/RPE
what is the inflammation around the cartilage that connects the ribs to the sternum
costochondritis
what is the most potent diuretic
loop
This type of HF involves stiff ventricles and impaired filling
HFpEF (diastolic dysfunction)
a key sign of right-sided HF seen in the neck
jugular venous distension
Initial acute care exercise intensity should be below this borg value
11
Give 2-3 pulmonary diagnoses that may contribute to pulmonary chest wall pain
DVT, PE, asthma
What is an emergency involving extensive breakdown of muscle and coke-colored pee
statin-induced rhabdomyolysis
This system is activated in HF, causing fluid retention and vasoconstriction
RAAS
The highest independent predictor of HF diagnosis
BNP or NT-proBNP
what is the MCID for 6MWT
30-32 m
This common disease (usually seen in women) mimics signs of MI chest pain
GERD
What medication has a side effect of myalgia
Cholesterol/HMG-COA reductase inhibitors (statins)
increased SNS activity, preload, ventricular hypertrophy
A weight gain of these amount in 24 hours and one week is concerning in HF
2-3 lbs, 5 lbs
How do you progress intensity in strength training
eventually progress to 70-85% 1-RM
What is the percent of eligible CR patients who utilize CR?
28%
what is the difference between antiplatelets and anticoagulants
platelets = arteries, coagulants = venous + LA
What NYHA classes reside within the "C" class of the structural classification system
I, II, III, IV
What sounds might you hear when auscultating the heart and lungs in left-sided HF(3)
S3, S4, crackling
during a GXT a patient experiences abnormal symptoms and the test terminated when their HR is 135 bpm, what is their max HR to use in further prescriptions?
125 bpm
How many points is "palpation reproduces pain" when using the clinical prediction rule table?
2 points
what are some symptoms of hypomagesemia (name at least 2)
weakness, muscle twitching, dysrhythmia, decreased reflexes, confusion
