NR507 CARDIOVASCULAR DISORDERS FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS |100% PASS (A+ CERTIFIED) 1. T or F: In Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), pumping ability of the heart can be impaired due to the deprivation of oxygen. CAD: True 2. ______________________is a modifiable risk factor; the other listed risk factors are non-modifiable Correct Answer Obesity 3. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is mainly the result of: CAD: Longstanding artherosclerosis 4. Considered the leading cause of death in the United States (U.S.) CAD: Coronary artery disease (CAD) 5. Atherosclerosis begins with damage to the: CAD: Endothelium 6. A thin membrane that lines the inside of the heart and blood vessels. CAD: Endothelium 7. Under normal functioning the endothelium: CAD: 1.) Maintains balance between the vasoconstrictive and vasodilation actions 2.) Prevents platelets from aggregating and control of the production of fibrin. 8. Inflammatory processes occur. Macrophages attach to the endothelium, setting up phagocytosis; plaque formation and vasoconstriction also occurs marking the beginning of atherosclerosis. The plaque lesions located in the vessels become enlarged which allows the plaque to progress within the enlarged vessel lumen. CAD: When endothelium becomes damaged. 9. Disrupts normal blood flow and causes thrombus formation which can be triggered by cardiac risk factors such as elevated LDL, cholesterol, smoking and diabetes. CAD: Plaque lesions 10. When atherosclerosis reaches a clinically significant level, the patient will begin to experience: CAD: Angina 11. Further progression of artherosclerosis disease will result in: CAD: Acute coronary syndrome (Acute coronary syndrome is a term that describes a range of conditions related to sudden, reduced blood flow to the heart. These conditions include a heart attack and unstable angina)
