NURS 2060 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Cardiogenic Shock, Fibroblast, Dietary Fiber
Document Summary
Lectures 6, 7, and 8: alterations of cardiovascular function. Cad: impairs pumping ability of the heart by depriving heart muscle of o2 and nutrients: common cause is atherosclerosis, results in ischemia and/or infarction. Compare the non-modifiable and modifiable risk factors for coronary disease: non-modifiable: increasing age, male gender, black/asian race, genetic predisposition, modifiable: dyslipidemia ( cholesterol, ldl, lipoprotein (a), hdl, dm) Dm: most common systemic disease associated w/ dyslipidemia. Lipoprotein (a): independent risk factor for developing atherosclerosis. Describe criteria for the metabolic syndrome. (associated w/ obesity: must have 3 of the five traits: Increased waist circumference (>40 ins in men; >35 ins in women) Hdl-c: men <40 mg/dl; women <50 mg/dl. Distinguish between arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis: arteriosclerosis: chronic disease of the arterial system. Abnormal thickening and hardening of the vessel walls (see this w/ regular aging process) Smooth muscle cells and collagen fibers migrate into the tunica intima.
