PN 4003 VARIATIONS IN
HEALTH
Hypovolemia - ANSWERS-decreased blood volume (isotonic fluid
loss from the extracellular space)
Hypervolemia - ANSWERS-increased blood volume (excess fluid in
the extracellular space)
Distributive shock - ANSWERS-neurogenic shock, anaphylactic
shock, septic shock
Emphysema - ANSWERS-A complex and destructive lung disease
wherein air accumulates in the tissues of the lungs
Bronchitis - ANSWERS-An inflammation of the bronchial tree
accompanied by hypersecretion of mucus.
Bronchiectasis - ANSWERS-Chronic dilation of the bronchi
Aortic Stenosis - ANSWERS-Narrowing of the aortic valve opening,
when the valve cusps become stiff and rigid.
, Aortic Regurgitation - ANSWERS-flow of blood backward from the
aorta into the heart; caused by a weak heart valve
Mitral Stenosis - ANSWERS-The mitral valve does not open properly
to facilitate filling of the left ventricle.
mitral regurgitation - ANSWERS-The mitral valve does not close
properly allowing blood back into the left ventricle.
Mitral Valve Prolapse - ANSWERS-The valve cusps enlarge, become
floppy, and bulge backward into the atrium. Most common in women
aged 14-30
Balloon Valvotomy - ANSWERS-A catheter with (deflated) balloon
inserted into peripheral vessel into heart w/ tip in stenotic valve then
inflate balloon to stretch valve
Dilated Cardiomyopathy - ANSWERS-heart muscle becomes
stretched out
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - ANSWERS-heart muscle in left
ventricle thickens
restrictive cardiomyopathy - ANSWERS-heart muscle hardens,
restricting the expansion of the heart, thus limiting the amount of
blood it can pump to the rest of the body
