| A | B |
|---|
| arteriosclerosis | loss of elasticity or hard arteries - age |
| atherosclerosis | lumen of arteris fill w/fatty deposits |
| composed of cholesteral called | plaque |
| atheroscleroisis - non modifiable factors | age, gender, ethnicity, genetics |
| atherosclerosis - modifiable factors | smoking, obesity, lyperlipemia, booze, sedentary |
| hyperlipidemia | high levels of blood fat |
| atherosclerosis also linked to ___ and ___ | infection and inflammation |
| coronary thrombosis | blood flows thru vessels become trapped, mass |
| coronary occlusion | closing of artery, reduces blood - leads to MI |
| obesity w/ ___ shape body is higher risk | apple shape |
| CAD - s/s | fatigue, angina, indigestion, burning, squeezin |
| 4 types of angina | stable, unstable, variant, microvascular |
| stable angina | 75% occlusion, high HR or BP, eathing large meal |
| unstable angina | 90% occlusion, chest pain increased freq poorly relieved rest |
| variant angina | arterial spasm in normal or diseased CA |
| microvascular angina | contriction of myocardial capillaries too small for test to detect |
| arcus senilis | opaque ring in eyes |
| xanthelasma | yellowish plaque around eyes |
| CAD - diagnostic tests | lipid profile, CT, EKG, Cardiac Cath |
| LDL | bad - sticks to arteries |
| HDL | good - carried to liver for removal |
| Total cholesteral level less than | 200 |
| triglycerides s/b less than | 150 |
| CAD - treatment | life changes, blood sugars, meds |
| CAD - Atherectomy | removal of fatty plaque |
| Coronary Angioplasty aka | balloon |
| Coronary Angioplasty procedure | balloon tipped catheter inserted, inflated to increase lumen |
| Care after Coronary Angioplasty | no lifting more 10lbs, bike, driving, mowing 3 days |
| atherectomy | removal of hard plaque - rotorooter |
| TMR - Transmyocardial Revascularization | laser procedure which improves oxygen to myocardial tissue |
