    Study Notes

    Heart and Vascular System

    • This is Chapter 6.
    • The heart is a pump.

    Heart

    • The heart is a muscular organ.

    Hypercholesterolemia

    • This is related to the build-up of cholesterol in the arteries.
    • Cholesterol can lead to plaque formation.

    Vessel Calcification (Atherosclerosis)

    • Plaque buildup in the arteries leads to vessel calcification.
    • This can block blood flow.
    • The blood supply is reduced to the tissue.

    Consequences of Atherosclerosis

    • Tissues lack oxygen.
    • Blood pressure increases due to stiffening of the vessels.
    • Blood clots (thrombi) form.
    • Weak spots in the vessel walls can cause aneurysms.

    Embolus

    • An embolus can travel to the brain or heart and cause a stroke or heart attack.
    • A brain stroke is an infarct in the brain.
    • A heart attack is an infarct in the heart.

    Peripheral Vascular Disease

    • This is the calcification of the arteries in the arms and legs.

    Causes and Risk Factors of Atherosclerosis

    • The causes and risk factors of atherosclerosis are not explicitly stated in the notes you provided.

    Atherosclerosis Treatment

    • Prevention
    • Medication
    • Angioplasty or stenting
    • Bypass surgery

    Atherosclerosis Diagnostics

    • ECG
    • Echocardiography
    • Angiography
    • Cardiac catheterization

    Acute Coronary Syndrome

    • Questions about coronary arteries and their relationship with heart attacks and angina pectoris are raised.
    • Questions regarding the differences between heart attacks and angina, and the causes, symptoms, and treatments of acute coronary syndrome are presented.

    ECG Types

    • STEMI (ST elevation myocardial infarction)
    • NSTEMI (non-ST elevation myocardial infarction)
    • Parts of the ECG waveform and their relation to heart function.
    • During a heart attack one part or the whole coronary artery is blocked.

    Acute Coronary Syndrome Treatment

    • Pain relievers (analgesics)
    • Beta-blockers (to reduce heart rate)
    • Statins (to lower cholesterol)
    • Anti-platelet drugs (to prevent blood clot formation)
    • Blood thinners (anticoagulants)

    Heart Attack

    • The heart muscle is damaged when blood flow is blocked.

    Heart Failure

    • The heart is unable to pump blood efficiently.
    • Tissues and organs are deprived of oxygen.
    • Symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, swelling, and abnormal heart rhythms.

    Types of Heart Failure

    • Systolic (pumping problem)
    • Diastolic (filling problem)
    • Left-sided heart failure
    • Right-sided heart failure
    • Chronic
    • Acute
    • Temporary

    Heart Failure Symptoms

    • Fatigue
    • Shortness of breath
    • Swelling (oedema)
    • Breathing difficulty at night
    • Cold hands and feet
    • Irregular heart beat
    • Stomach and bowel complaints.

    Acute Pulmonary Oedema

    • Excess fluid buildup in the lungs.

    Heart Arrhythmias in Heart Failure

    • Tachycardia (fast heart rate)
    • Bradycardia (slow heart rate)
    • Risk factors of arrhythmias are discussed.

    Heart Failure Treatment

    • Medications, surgery and implantable devices.
    • Pacemakers
    • Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs)
