Which elevated lab value may be protective of the development
of atherosclerosis? - verified answers-High-density lipoproteins
HDL's
Provides one-way flow of blood from the left ventricle into the
aorta - verified answers-Aortic valve
Transports deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the
right lung. - verified answers-Right pulmonary artery
Transports oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the
systemic circulation. - verified answers-Aorta (aortic arch)
Conveys deoxygenated blood from the head and upper
extremities to the right atrium? - verified answers-Superior vena
cava
Provides one-way flow of blood from the right ventricle to the
left lung? - verified answers-Pulmonary valve
Transports deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the
left lung? - verified answers-left pulmonary artery
Conveys deoxygenated blood from the trunk and lower
extremities to the right atrium? - verified answers-Inferior vena
cava
Transports oxygenated blood from the left lung to the left
atrium? - verified answers-Left pulmonary veins
Provides one-way flow of blood from the right atrium into the
right ventricle - verified answers-tricuspid valve
,Right ventricle enlargement caused by chronic pulmonary
hypertension? - verified answers-Corpulmonale
Which chamber of the heart endures the highest pressures? -
verified answers-Left Ventricle
Occlusion of the left anterior descending artery during a
myocardial infarction would interrupt blood supply to which
structures? - verified answers-Left and right ventricles and
much of the interventricular septum
What is the initiating event that leads to the development of
atherosclerosis? - verified answers-Injury to the endothelial
cells that line the artery walls
Name 4 Age-related changes associated with the
cardiovascular system include? - verified answers-1. decreased
cardiac output
2. increased blood pressure
3. decreased compliance of the heart muscle
4. thickening of the heart valves.
An individual who is demonstrating elevated levels of troponin,
creatine kinase-isoenzyme MB (CK-MB), and lactic
dehydrogenase (LDH) is exhibiting indicators associated with
which condition? - verified answers-Myocardial infarction (MI)
Which form of heart failure may result from pulmonary disease
and elevated pulmonary vascular resistance? - verified
answers-Right-sided Heart Failure
Orthopnea, crackles and coughing pink frothy sputum result
from back up into the lungs from which heart failure? - verified
answers-Left-sided Heart Failure
, jugular venous distention, hepatomegaly and ankle edema are
more from backup from which heart failure? - verified answers-
Right-sided Heart failure
Dilated cardiomyopathy means that - verified answers-the
cardiac chambers are enlarged (increased diastolic volume)
and the myocardium has decreased contractility.
In restrictive cardiomyopathy, the cardiac chambers - verified
answers-have decreased volume and the myocardium is rigid
and noncompliant
Cardiac valve damage in rheumatic fever is caused by - verified
answers-an abnormal immune response
Acute rheumatic fever is characterized by - verified answers-
carditis, acute migratory
polyarthritis, chorea, and erythema marginatum, which occurs 1
to 5 weeks after streptococcal infection of the pharynx
a condition characterized by thickening and hardening of the
vessel wall. - verified answers-Arteriosclerosis
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a result of: -
verified answers-a zone of low pressure of the lower
esophageal sphincter (LES).
Define GERD - verified answers-Regurgitation of stomach
contents (reflux of chyme) across incompetent
Gastroesophageal junction into the esophagus producing
irritation and a number of symptoms heartburn being the
cardinal symptom often relieved by antacids and aggravated by
lying flat.
At 3 weeks of age, an infant who has been feeding well and
gained weight begins to vomit for no apparent reason. The
vomiting has gradually become more forceful. These symptoms
