Study Notes
Cardiopulmonary Conditions: Heart Conditions
- Heart disease risk factors include non-controllable (age, family history, gender) and controllable factors (smoking, hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, stress).
- Asthma can cause a barrel chest in children due to hyperinflated lungs.
- Breathing improvement techniques include leaning forward, placing forearms on thighs, and pursed-lip breathing.
- Obese individuals may benefit from side-lying with the entire upper trunk elevated for better breathing.
Myocardial Infarction (MI)
- MI (heart attack) involves reduced blood/oxygen to the heart muscle.
- Treatment focuses on limiting damage, relieving pain, and preventing clot formation.
- Early activity after acute MI is limited to 1-2 METs initially, gradually increasing to 2-4 METs for home exercise programs.
- Heart healing after MI takes 4-8 weeks.
- Troponin (a protein released when the heart is damaged) is a diagnostic marker for acute MI.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)
- CAD is ischemic disease (reduced or blocked blood flow to part of the body).
- Atherosclerosis is a common cause of CAD, narrowing vessels over time.
- Angina pectoris is a complication of CAD.
- Angina is chest pain related to increased activity demands due to decreased blood supply to the heart muscle.
- Stable angina is relieved by rest or medication (e.g., nitroglycerin).
- Unstable angina is a more serious form of angina, doesn't go away with rest or medication, and may be a warning sign of a heart attack.
Congestive Heart Failure
- Congestive heart failure results from impaired structure or function of the ventricles.
- Left ventricular dysfunction leads to fatigue, shortness of breath, and pulmonary edema.
- Right ventricular dysfunction leads to peripheral or abdominal edema.
Cardiomyopathies
- Cardiomyopathies are a group of heart muscle diseases that affect heart pumping or electrical signals.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
- PAD is when the arteries that supply blood to the limbs and pelvis become narrowed (does not affect the heart).
- Common symptoms include pain, cramping during walking (intermittent claudication), cold limbs, numbness or tingling, lack of hair growth, painful ulcers, and difficulty walking.
- Left untreated, PAD can lead to gangrene and amputation.
- Wound care like vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) may be used.
Inflammatory Heart Diseases
- Endocarditis is a bacterial infection in the inner lining of the heart (endocardium) and heart valves, with symptoms like fever, tiredness, trouble breathing, weight loss, and night sweats.
- Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, usually caused by viral, bacterial, or fungal infections.
- Pericarditis is inflammation of the pericardium (protective sac around the heart); it can occur after a heart attack, open-heart surgery or due to immune system issues, kidney failure, or infections.
- Cardiac tamponade is a serious condition due to excessive fluid in the pericardium, resulting in heart compression.
Heart Treatments
- Open heart surgery (CABG) and valve replacement: includes sternotomy and precautions for patient/client care during and after surgery.
- Angioplasty and atherectomy are minimally invasive procedures to improve blood flow and treat clogged arteries using a catheter with a blade (atherectomy).
Other Heart Conditions and Devices
- Ventricular assist devices (VADs) support pumping of blood in end-stage heart failure.
- Intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABPs) augment low cardiac output in cases of heart dysfunction.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot in a deep vein, often in the legs.
- Superficial thrombophlebitis is a blood clot just under the skin.
- Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blood clot traveling to the lungs, blocking blood flow.
- Compartment syndrome occurs when swelling inside a muscle compartment causes pressure.
- Gangrene is tissue death from lack of blood supply.
- Raynaud's syndrome affects blood flow to fingers and toes, often due to cold or stress.
Cardiac Rehabilitation
- Cardiac rehabilitation focuses on low-level activities, energy conservation, and managing stress in a program for discharge.
- Intensity of exercises is gradually increased according to metabolic equivalent (MET) levels (light, moderate, and vigorous).
- Stages of rehabilitation (I, II, III) monitor and encourage self-care activities to recovery phase.
Pulmonary Conditions
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) damages alveoli and airways (e.g., emphysema and chronic bronchitis).
- Symptoms of COPD include shortness of breath (dyspnea), chronic cough, and low oxygen levels.
- Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is severe lung injury that causes fluid buildup.
- Interstitial lung disease (ILD) causes lung tissue scarring.
- Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder affecting lungs, digestive, and other organs.
- Obstructive sleep apnea involves repeated breathing pauses during sleep.
- Pneumonia is a lung infection.
Stages of Heart Disease
- Heart disease is categorized into classes I-IV based on physical activity limitations.
- Vital signs, such as blood pressure, are important factors for monitoring heart disease.
MET Levels
- Medical evaluations are conducted using MET levels (Metabolic Equivalents), based on different activities.
