34
Q

3 types of angina: 1. atherosclerotic obstruction

A

plaque in large coronary arteries–>classic angina pectoris (effort or stable angina) most common!
triggered by exercise, not enough O2 reaching heart, switch over to other pathway creating toxic metabolites
-does not dilate very well, vasodilators will NOT help, make worse

35
Q

3 types of angina: 2. vasospastic angina

A

reversible vasospastic reduction of flow in large coronary arteries (variant angina, Prinzmetal’s angina)

36
Q

3 types of angina: 3. unstable or crescendo angina

A

combo of 1st 2:
or sudden marked platelet aggreg. with clot form. at site of ruptured plaque (rest or exertion)
may be immediate precursor to MI!!

37
Q

other ways to help atherosclerotic obstruction

A

reduce O2 DEMAND in tissue blocked by obstructed vessel

38
Q

preload dep. on

A

venous smooth muscle tone, venous fluid volume

39
Q

how to dec. preload to to red. O2 demand

A
  • dec. VENOUS smooth muscle tone–>nitrates: becomes NO (rarely: dec. arteriole tone)
    dec. venous fluid volume (takes long time for diuretic to do that)
40
Q

to dec. contractility/rate to red. O2 demand

A

B-blockers

Ca2+ chan. blockers (verapamil)

41
Q

dec. afterload to red. O2

48
Q

CHF

A

chronic
impaired ability of ventricles to adequately fill AND/OR eject blood volume (diastolic or systolic failure)–>low ventr. output

49
Q

causes of CHF

A

acute MI, pulmonary hypertension

50
Q

CHF s/s

A

fesp, renal, musc, cardiac

51
Q

preload is high/low in CHF?

A

it is HIGH, consequence of CHF

52
Q

B receptors

A

stimulate Ca2+, inc. contractions in systole and diastole?

53
Q

independent CHF mechanisms

A
  1. impaired contractile proteins
  2. inadequate reuptake and release of Ca2+ by SR
  3. dec. B-rec cAMP function (downreg.)
54
Q

inc. PRELOAD

A

inc. Stroke Volume

55
Q

in CHF, inc. PRELOAD

A

does not appropriately inc. Stroke Volume

have high venous pressure

56
Q

inc. PRELOAD

A

dec. Stroke Volume
even more so in CHF
vasodilators will help this (nitro, need high does to dilate arteries)

57
Q

inc. HR

A

inc. CO until LIMIT–>then dec. (fluttering, inadequate filling time)
tx with B blockers** (counter intuitive, but this is why it works!)

58
Q

body attempts to compensate for CHF

A

hypertrophy–>exacerbates!
SNS and RAAS go into high gear–>also exacerbate
(SNS: tachycardiac, inc. HR, inc. afterload (constr) inc. preload)

59
Q

why B rec. downreg.

A

chronic elevated SNS activity

B blockers prevent down regulation @ B rec!

60
Q

the RAAS system may be detrimental to

structural changes of myocardium

61
Q

digitalis glycoside mech

A

inhib of Na/K exchange–>increase Na–>dec. Na/Ca exchange (disrupted gradient due to inc. IC [Ca2+]–>inc. Ca2+–>inc. contraction
