Question: Draw a concept map showing the etiology of the following diseases:
a) Venous insufficiency
b) Arterial diseases: hypertension, orthostatic hypotension, shock, aneurism, peripheral vascular disease, peripheral artery disease, atherosclerosis, acute coronary syndromes
c) Heart wall disorders: pericarditis, cardiomyopathy, endocardial disorders,
d) Heart failure: left and right sided
e) Dysrhythmias
2) Compare the roles and mechanisms of the RAAS and the ANS with respect to hemodynamic regulation.
3) Describe 4 common diseases of veins or alterations in vascular flow that result in outcomes such as (1) varicose veins, (2) deep venous thrombosis (DVT), (3) stasis ulcers, and (4) chronic insufficiencies
4) Summarize the role of cholesterol in atherosclerosis and the guidelines for cholesterol screening.
5) Compare the pathophysiology of the different types of angina and the treatment measures for each.
6) Identify the three most important biomarkers of an MI and describe their cellular function. (example: myoglobin provides additional oxygen to myocardia)
7) Distinguish changes in atrial and ventricular rhythms and compare supraventricular and ventricular dysrhythmias.
8) Identify a STEMI and an NSTEMI on an ECG and determine what each rhythm indicates.
9) Relate the following symptoms of heart failure to the underlying pathophysiology: (1) Edema & Pulmonary edema, (2) Dyspnea, (3) Fatigue and weakness, (4) Hepatomegaly, and (5) Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
10) Explain the role of BNP and other lab values in heart failure treatment.
