1 2 how to calculate pulse pressure?
does elevated lvls mean?
3 cues for symptomatic bradycardia? 4 what is PT/INR?
Don't know?
Terms in this set (66)
what does troponin test for? what measures stress of the heart
does elevated lvls mean? elevated levels = acute cardiac event or NSTEMI
, what does a BNP measure? elevated? how much fluid overload due to heart stress
elevated = heart dysfunction
what is HDL? high density lipoproteins, good fats for brain function
what is LDL? low density lipoproteins, BAD fats found in
processed foods
what is PT/INR? clotting factors, how long it takes pt to clot
- increased PT/INR means pt is taking longer to clot
which means at risk for hemmoraging
what is the difference between intrinsic = something inside happening (hemophilia or
intrinsic and extrinsic pathways? what vit k defiency)
do each come together to do? extrinsic = outside like a cut
come together to form a clot
what does a 5 lead EKG do gives basic info on the heart
- continuously
what does a 12 EKG do more in depth than 5 lead
- do at the bedside
- extra info
what is echocardiogram (echo) to look at physical structure of heart
what is ejection fraction?
ON EXAM: what is a transesophageal ***gold standard test (best choice)
echo (TEE) - done in esophagus & gets a really good picture of
the heart
- can be hard to adminster due to need for sedation
/pt tolerance
