Study Notes
Congenital Heart Condition
- A common congenital heart condition characterized by an abnormal valve opening is Tetralogy of Fallot.
Valvular Heart Disease
- Hypertension is NOT a cause of valvular heart disease (VHD).
- Acute dyspnea might indicate an acute development of valvular heart disease.
VHD Interventions
- Valve surgery is the intervention primarily focused on repairing or replacing damaged heart valves.
VHD Risk Factors
- Hypertension is the least likely risk factor influencing the development of valvular heart disease.
VHD Therapeutic Goals
- Afterload reduction is a therapeutic goal aimed at preventing irreversible changes in the left ventricle.
VHD Medical Management
- Diuretics are categorized under medical management for valvular heart disease.
Valvular Heart Disease Symptoms
- Edema is a significant symptom of valvular heart disease due to fluid accumulation.
Chronic Heart Failure Causes
- Valvular heart disease is a primary cause of chronic heart failure.
Peripheral Artery Disease
- Atherosclerosis is the primary cause of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).
Decompensated Heart Failure
- Fluid accumulation is a characteristic of decompensated heart failure.
PAD Progression
- Claudication is a symptom associated with the progression of PAD.
Deep Venous Thrombosis Management
- Compression stockings are a method of managing deep venous thrombosis.
PAD and Hypertension Management
- ACE inhibitors are recommended for managing hypertension in patients with PAD.
Deep Vein Thrombosis Complications
- Pulmonary embolism is a significant complication of DVT.
Chronic Heart Failure and Fluid Retention
- Edema is the effect of large fluid retention in chronic heart failure.
Acute Heart Failure and Sympathetic Response
- The sympathetic nervous system responds by increasing heart rate and contractility in acute moderate heart failure.
PAD Progression Prevention
- Regular exercise is recommended to prevent the progression of PAD.
Venous Diseases Signs
- Leg swelling is a common sign of Venous Diseases.
Untreated DVT Complications
- Pulmonary embolism is a potential complication of left untreated DVT.
Heart Valve Diseases & Associated Condition
- Rheumatic fever is associated with the presence of certain heart valve diseases.
Thrombus Formation in Venous Diseases
- Stasis of blood flow contributes to thrombus formation in venous diseases.
DVT Management Lifestyle Change
- Avoiding prolonged sitting or standing is recommended for managing DVT.
Severe PAD Treatment
- Bypass surgery may be necessary for severe PAD.
