NSG 591 Cardiac disorders Exam Questions With Complete
Solutions
AAA Correct Answers extracellular matrix remodeling, loss of
vascular smooth muscle, accumulation of inflammatory cells.
Acute coronary syndrome Correct Answers St- Elevation
myocardial infarction (STEMI), non ST elevation myocardial
infarction (NSTEMI) and unstable angina create umbrella of
cardiovascular conditions
Acute coronary syndrome and angina pectoris Correct Answers
result from an imbalance in the ability to supply the myocardium
with sufficient oxygen to meet its metabolic demands
Afterload Correct Answers the amount of resistance to
ejection of blood from the ventricle
aldosterone Correct Answers "salt-retaining hormone" which
promotes the retention of Na+ by the kidneys. na+ retention
promotes water retention, which promotes a higher blood
volume and pressure
anemia Correct Answers results in decreased oxygen-carrying
capability of the blood
angina pectoris Correct Answers chest pain caused by
myocardial ischemia, transient substernal discomfort/heaviness,
commonly mistaken for indigestion. Pain is caused by buildup
of lactic acid or abnormal stretching which irritate nerve fibers
, (**afferent sympathetic nerve fibers enter spinal cord and
account for radiation to neck, jaw, left shoulder, back)
Angiotensin II Correct Answers caused vasoconstriction, and
aldosterone release
aortic aneurysm Correct Answers is a localized
dilation/outpouching of a vessel wall or cardiac chamber.
arginine vasopressin Correct Answers (ADH) causes
peripheral vasoconstriction and renal fluid retention which
makes hyponatremia and edema worse
Arterial thrombus Correct Answers develop whenever
intravascular conditions promote coagulation activation or
clotting cascade (most often by roughening of tunica intima by
atherosclerosis or anatomic changes to artery (i.e. aneurysm),
can form in heart valves altered by calcification or bacterial
vegetation
Atherosclerosis Correct Answers Apolioprotein-1 is good
because it is most protective in preventing
Athrogenic diet Correct Answers diet high in saturated fats
and cholesterol
BNP Correct Answers As part of the evaluation of a patient
with dyspnea and suspected HF what test should be ordered:
Catecholamines Correct Answers dopamine, norepinephrine,
epinephrine
